Typically, the "6:00 on a Christmas Morning" gifts from DT, in the past, have all been free downloads, a treat for the fans. I don't recall the past ones, but this has been a long-running tradition, IIRC.

I don't recall the past ones, but this has been a long-running tradition, IIRC.I didn't realize this was a thing. When was the last time they did this? And what have I been missing out on?
Not sure how long it has been going on, but back in 2009, Mike Portnoy (who I believe did all the gifts up til then) released a video from the Progressive Nation tour entitled "Percussive Nation", a jam he did with the other drummers on the PN tour.-Marc.
I should keep my trap shut about anything else related to this year's gift.
Zydar is my new hero. I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

Also, for being a wide-spread BitTorrent download, I doubt they could keep track of it to charge money for it. It sounds like it will be completely free of charge. The only issues will be the lag the start where there will undoubtedly be thousands and thousands of leechers and only 50 seeders. After a few hours, though, provided the initial chunk of leechers have decent high-speed connections and leave their seeds running for most of the day (if not ALL day...c'mon, it'll be Christmas), the download rates for the torrent should speed up.-Marc.
Nihil-Morari is generally considered the resident Zappa person.

It will also be on one members seedbox, so high speeds will not be an issue.
Since I can't really find it in the thread or maybe I just missed it;how can you download this again?
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.
It's Christmas afternoon here... I don't know jack about American time zones.
Of course. Christmas morning in America is actually the day after Christmas

Syme is the one who makes those mistakes.While that may be, I'm certainly not going to complain about the cover on a free bonus show that DT didn't need to give us at all.

That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".
Remember the mark of a great vocalist is if TAC hates them with a special passion

Hey, math for me is adding the bed, subtracting the clothes, dividing the legs, and praying that I don't multiply!
That's what happens when they won't let you skeet in the pooper.

Notice I said "women" you said "girl"
Yes I have, but not always. Nothing says masculinity like deflowering a girl's poop chute.
Sometimes I capriciously lump them into the same category.
