We can never thank you enough for all your work, dedication, and love you have given to this. "Though the course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea...."
Dave, What can I say. We all knew this day would come although sadly. I have enjoyed your site more than any other on the web. You and your site will be sorely missed but all good things must come to an end. Best of luck with wherever life takes you. Floyd Rules Forever. Take care Dave. The Rug
Thank you, Dave. I have several TB of your fabulous uploads, especially my Neil Young Collection. Now I'll have to go back to the torrents. My RSS notifications came every at 3 or 4 am with new posts from this site, now I'll see no more. Thank Dave. It has been a pleasure. Godspeed!
Thank you so much. As someone above said, I should have said "Thanks" (and followed clicks) more often than I did but I have discovered some fabulous music over the last months thanks to your efforts and I'm very grateful. Good luck for the future and enjoy the extra time you'll have!
Thanks for all these great boots you have given us Dave, especially the Bowie ones! Any chance of keeping this community alive perhaps on Facebook, this time sharing freindship and music views instead of boots?

Beside not posting anything new anymore, is there a way you can devise for having some of us who joined the blog only recently to add to their collections some the gems that have been lost (read "dead link") through the years? Some of your postings were really a jewel and I cannot figure out were to look for them once you'll be gone... Thanks for everything anyway, Dave. Andrew
Dave its been a pleasure and an honor to know you for the last year and a half with your wonderful blog and generosity of sharing. I just got hooked on bootlegs at the same time I found your blog. Because of the hard work, patience with those who wanted to agrue with you and your determination to share has been not only a blessing to me..but also helped me build qiute a collection of lossless bootlegs. I am going to miss you my friend!!! God bless all that you do! Dale Geyer
merci pour tout les boots que tu nous as proposé, c'est avec joie que j’écoute tout les lives que j'ai pu télécharger de ton blog, je ne te remercierais jamais assez pour tout ton travail et tout tes efforts qui ont fait de toi une renommée international sur internet. merci encore pour tout. thank you for all the boots you we have proposed, it is with joy that I listen to all the lives that I could download to your blog, I would thank you enough for all your work and all your efforts that made international renown of you on the internet. thank you again for everything.
Thanks for the Zeppelin my friend.. I will miss it very very very much. I hope you and your family well. As they say all good things must come to an end. This blog and all your work was a very good thing.
See you on this side or the other. Ten Years Gone David from Boston
Dave - You have always been our 'Rock N Roll Diamond In The Rough'. I have lost count of the many MANY times that your uploads have just amazed me to such extremes. I know that most people dislike 'change', but I honestly wish you much luck in whatever new road that you are heading down. I'm sure that I can speak for many of us...that you have truly been an ANGEL in providing us with thousands of hours of pure-musical-satisfaction in obtaining items that would otherwise be left in vaults, warehouses, basements...to be unheard. Thank you so much for all of the time and effort that you put forth for us. We truly love you. Peace be with you. :)
wow. THANK YOU for sharing and caring for as long as you possibly could while the world worked against you. it was a long ride and it was VERY appreciated. now go have a wonderful life and enjoy your freedom ;^) ROCK ON James
Thanks for all the music. I have long appreciated the time and energy that have gone into this endeavor. You've made my life - and clearly the lives of many others - better through your generosity.
Dear Dave, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the greatest gift of all- MUSIC! I am very grateful for all of the time and effort you dedicated to this wonderful blog, day in, and day out. You will be greatly missed! I hope that you make the most out of the newly found free hours in the days ahead. GOOD LUCK, THANKS, and PEACE!!! Best Wishes, Catfish John
Thank you for what you've done for us all over the past few years. It's been a real good time. I have stopped by on a daily basis just to see what you have shared and it's always interesting to see what new find you've come up with.
Will miss your blog. All the best to you and your family for the future.
This whole library over the years is something special and rare... it kind of makes sense considering the capital 'G' Gentleman behind it all!
I can easily say the Zep, Fleetwood Mac and Clapton boots are the first I check for, but as long as these archives stay intact there's no end to it for any of your visitors and the amount of time reading and clicking through this site.
From your desire and outlet to share good music...Bootz is the one blog that trumped them all by a mile.
It's gonna be bitter-sweet to see the final updates, but stay in good spirits.
Dave, I hope each day brings you something new and rewarding!
I have been stopping by here every morning for quite a while,by far my favourite blog,sad to see it end.All the hairy breast in the future and a big THANK YOU for all the great music sir.
Very sorry to see you go! My collection would be much less without all the great shows you have provided over the years. Thank you so much for all that you have done. Good luck!!!
Thanks again Dave for everything you've done. Your blog is the best out there and there will never be another one like it. Thanks for all of the wonderful music from all of my favorite artists and for introducing me to some amazing artists that I had known nothing of before. It's sad to see this all end even though I understand the reasons why, but I have amassed enough material from here to keep me entertained for many many years to come. You will be deeply missed and I wish you and your family the very best. Good luck with all of your future endeavors and thanks again for all of the incredible music...YOU ROCK!!!
Thanks for sharing all this music with us over the years Dave, I don't have the words to properly express my gratitude: I've found loads of little delicacies here that would never have found me lugholes otherwise. Sorry that QB is coming to end, but still, all the best for the future for you and yours, and once again, Thank You Dave, you diamond geezer you. Cheers! Mark in Pompey
Thanks Dave, you have given much to music lovers around the world, QB may have run it's course, and I suspect an era of music sharing is quickly coming to an end. You have seeded the collections of bootlegs on a grand scale, it was an investment that ensured that free trading of non-commercially released live recordings will surely take another form in the years to come. Thanks to you for your efforts, for a brief period of time you were the undisputed Shaman of bootlegs. Good luck to you and fare thee well for now.
I work for the musicians union in the UK and I can't stand the industries attitude to music blogs and "sharing" in general. I see no argument that these activities do anything other than enrich everyone's experience of music. And I know that many record label's "catalogue" department use sites just like Bootz to supplement their own research, especially in the case of their own libraries' rather lackadaisical attitude to Archive. It will be sad to see you go.. Thanks a lot...
Just want to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU, Dave. Your site was top of my list on Google Reader and every day I'm astounded that you continued to live up to the name - Quality Boots. All the best from Melbourne, Australia, and thanks for the music!
thanks so much, you will be sorely missed. sorry to see you go, but we all understand (although we just don't have to like it)... best of luck... keep us in mind should you have a change of heart down the road...
Thank you, Dave, from the bottom of my heart. It WAS a really wild ride and so glad to have been a part of it. I wish you all the best in the future and hope that our paths may cross again on the interwebz. Stranger things have happened after all.
A sad day for certain ! But certainly understandable - how much grief can can one be expected to take...and how much work can you sit by and watch be destroyed by morons ??? A daily part of my life is about to disappear, and I don't think it can be replaced by any of the lesser sites that I have visited much less frequently. Thanks for everything you have done over the years. You will certainly be missed.
Thanks for all you have done Dave. All the time you have put in here over these past years has been well appreciated. Good luck in all future endeavours. later- Chuck
Damn shame. Thank You Dave for all your devoted and passionate efforts. Most will agree, QB is the best blog out there. All the Best - again, Thank You.
Dave, A dark cloud has befallen my future music collection...thanks for all you've done, QB blog was the only reason I got a RS account...I'll miss coming here ever day and refuse to go back to the ugly world of torrents. I should probably get a life anyway. God Bless you and your family. Mark in Texas
Thank for all your work, all your time and all your commitment to our music. I hope you can find a place where you can express your music in some form somewhere whether it be like this or on some place else where you can pick and choose your time and what you wish to post. From one who knows how hard it is to walk away, know that your will find a way back -- on your terms and in your own time.
Those of us who are your friends will be here - waiting patiently.
Enjoy your music and your life as it is what gives us all meaning.
We're all gonna miss you Dave. Gonna miss your effort to spread and make available QUALITY tunage! You're a good man...your Lady is a fantastic and very supportive person.
Sorry to see it end...MAN am I sorry to see it end.
Well, I guess you really mean it this time, Dave. Like a lot of other people, this site was one of the first places I went to every day. The variety and quantity of artists never ceased to amaze me. I’ve gotten so many cool shows that saying “thanks” fails to come close to expressing my gratitude. You’ve done a great service for those of us that don’t torrent. I thought (hoped) that you’d be around forever, but such is the way things go. I salute you and all the hard work you’ve put into this site! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!
Dave- thanks for everything. Your blog has always been the cleanest, crispest, easiest to read and navigate of all. Not to mention the best music. I'm crying.
This is very sad news but nothing is forever. I went from hoping to acquire eight boots at the most, but thanks to your site, I now have well over a hundred!
Dave... I have checked your blog everyday and have found so many great things!!! I hope for nothing but the best for you in the future. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I always clicked at least twice and donated a couple of times as well. I got waaaaay more than my money's worth. Take care my friend and I hope to see more of your hard work in the future. You will definitely be missed!
Dave, Thank you for what seemed very personal to me but was shared by so many. I was thrilled when I found your blog and amazed by what you were able to make available. Thanks for having a love of music and the ability to share it. I wish you nothing but the best life has to offer.
thanks dave, you've made many music fans very happy with your blog. i am sorry that you're wrapping things up now, i've appreciated your little labor of love here for years. the sharing of music and good feelings are what it's all about, and you've been a great example to all of us!! best wishes...
Dave, Thanks so much for all your hard work! You will be missed!! Live tapes and bootz have been around for a long time and hardcore music freaks like us can't get enough. I always buy the official products and encourage my favorite artist to release more archival stuff. All the best and thanks for sharing.
It's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon and taken the moon away Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend
It's all over, my friend
Thanks for all of the tunes, Dave! Good luck always!!
Thank you, Dave! I know we can't know just how much work these blogs have taken over the years, but perhaps you can't know just how much it means to us.
This is a particulary saddening day, but I understand your choice. A MILLION THANKS to you Dave, for the great job you've done, for your generosity -I remember the old days when I used to buy boots, heck I spend a lot of money- and, of course, for your kindness.
Your blog was the best one on the web, and still is, this is no bullshit.
On this blog you will find unofficial (commercially unreleased) recordings from a large variety of artists.
I am mostly a late 60's to early 80's kind of guy but I will post a huge variety due to YOUR interests and not necessarily my own.
I hope that you enjoy stopping by every single day.
My endeavor is to post 5-7 boots every day/seven days a week.
Well, it's been a fabulous ride, and thank you again.
ReplyDeleteGo out with a blast my friend !!
ReplyDeleteSee you at last call.

ReplyDeleteThis is a particulary saddening day, but I understand your choice. A MILLION THANKS to you Dave, for the great job you've done, for your generosity -I remember the old days when I used to buy boots, heck I spend a lot of money- and, of course, for your kindness.
Your blog was the best one on the web, and still is, this is no bullshit.
Enjoy your time with your familly and friends.
All the best, see you!
This is a terribly sad sad day
ReplyDeleteFantastic job, thanks a lot man. Enjoy life.
