Download videos from the Carter Albrecht Foundation benefit

On Saturday, October 20, 2007, many of the Dallas / Fort Worth area's top bands gathered at the Granada Theater to pay tribute to their friend, Carter Albrecht. The event also served as a kick-off benefit for the Carter Albrecht Music Foundation, which will support local music and the music industry in Dallas. It was a special night, and a fitting tribute to Carter.

We teamed up with Dallas iMedia to tape that show and we're making it available here for anyone to download and keep. This is the real deal -- four cameras and a soundboard mix.

The family and bands have asked that we make these videos available free of charge. However, we strongly suggest a donation to the Carter Albrecht Music Foundation for each file that you download. You can make a donation by credit card using the donate button above. Note that the $5 is a suggested donation, and you can change the number in the field upwards or downwards to suit your budget.

100% of your donation will go directly to the Foundation. 

Again, the donation is optional but strongly suggested. A lot of people went to a lot of effort to put on this show, film it, mix it, edit it, post it and make it available here. Please respect their efforts and the Foundation's goals by donating before downloading.

Now for the good stuff...
