Echo and the Bunnymen - YMCA - London - August 2, 1979 (soundboard)

2010-07-07T00:01:00.004-06:00

This was supposedly a soundboard but it sounds pretty rough (as if it has been through a few generations). Still it's a classic show that also included Joy Divison and the Teardrop Explodes (I will be posting the TD set in a few days).

2010-06-27T01:49:00.002-06:00

The sound quality isn't the greatest but this is a fun little look into U2 preparing for their 1992 Achtung Baby tour (and possibly their best tour?). Includes lots of alternate versions of songs as played on August 6, 1992.

Sevendust - Starland Ballroom - Sayreville, NJ - April 9, 2004 - Digital Audience

2010-06-14T00:01:00.002-06:00

I had this one labeled as a 9 out of 10 for audio quality which is normally where I rate soundboards but this one isn't really that good. It is a good audience recording and the only one that I have of this band, which normally puts on a great show. I saw them live at a little hole in the wall in Pocatello, Idaho back in 1999.

Setlist:

1) Black

2010-06-04T08:33:00.002-06:00

The Young Dubliners - Santa Monica Pier - August 22, 1996

2010-05-31T00:01:00.002-06:00

I saw these guys live a couple of times back in 2000 and even go the chance to party with them after one of the shows. They have an excellent blend of altera-rock and traditional Irish music and their live shows are fantastic.

I had to create the setlist for this one. I was about 90 percent sure for most tracks but had to guess for a couple. Sorry!

Lux Interior (the lead singer for the Cramps) died in 2009 but the music lives on! If you have never heard them, they sound like punk mixed with 50's rockabilly.

I was surfing around on the internet the other day checking up on the status of some of the bands that I had seen in concert in the past couple of years and I was saddened to learn that the guitarist/leader of this band, Dorian Cox, suffered a stroke later in the summer after the band had completed this tour. I saw them in Portland a few days before this show and it was a really good time so this one is posted in tribute to Dorian. I don't have the setlist handy (the files are tagged) but it is pretty consistent with what they were playing at the time. Enjoy!

Huggy Bear - L'European - Paris, France - December 20, 1992 - Soundboard

2010-03-24T00:01:00.005-06:00

This band is definitely the poster child for too short of a career but I can see how they were more of a fringe band that not everybody even had a chance to hear. Part of the somewhat popular riot-grrrl movement of the early 90's (that included Heavens To Betsy, Bikini Kill, Sleater Kinney and a few more) but definitely more punk - in my opinion - than the aforementioned bands.

U2 - Complete Salome (7 Discs!)

2010-03-12T00:01:00.000-07:00

I wish that more bands would let this kind of material leak! There are literally hundreds reels of Beatles studio sessions available but outside of them it doesn't seem like much of this stuff makes it out for the general public to enjoy. As legend has it a lot of this stuff 'leaked' out from the studio sessions before the band even released the album (Achtung Baby). Supposedly Bono went into a local record shop and found a bootleg of some of this stuff already for sale! At any rate it's a nice peek into some of what goes on in the studio so it's a lot of hit and miss with lots of repetition. I still find it a fascinating look at the development of much of this album back when this band really mattered.

This one was broadcast on Westwood One (in the US) in little three and four song sets and later compiled into a complete show as a silver cd. I am not sure if it is in the correct order (or even all from the same date) as there seems to be a lot of misinformation going around on the net as to this show. I can say that it sounds great and it was perhaps the best period in this band's career.

The Smiths - The Troy Tate Sessions

2010-03-06T00:01:00.000-07:00

These sessions were initially set to become the first SMITHS album but the band was unhappy with the results and switched to a different producer to complete the album.

From wikipedia:

After signing with independent record label Rough Trade, the Smiths begain preparations to record their first album in mid 1983. Due to the suggestion of Rough Trade head Geoff Travis, the band selected Troy Tate (former guitarist of The Teardrop Explodes) as producer of the sessions at Elephant studios in Wapping.[2] During the span of a month, the group recorded 14 songs.[3]
While recording a BBC session for Dave Jensen in August 1983, the Smiths met producer John Porter. Geoff Travis, harboring reservations about the group's session with Troy Tate, had given Porter a cassette of the sessions beforehand in the hopes that he could remix them. Porter told Travis that the sessions were "out of tune and out of time. Feeling the Tate sessions were unsalvageable, Porter offered to rerecord the album himself. Despite praising the work with Tate only a week prior to the press by stating "we've done everything exactly right and it'll show", Smiths singer Morrissey accepted (as did Travis), while guitarist Johnny Marr hesitantly agreed.[3]

Setlist:

1. "Reel Around the Fountain"
2. "You've Got Everything Now"
3. "Miserable Lie"
4. "Pretty Girls Make Graves"
5. "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"
6. "This Charming Man" (Originally not released on European issues of the album)
7. "Still Ill"
8. "Hand in Glove"
9. "What Difference Does It Make?"
10. "I Don't Owe You Anything"
11. "Suffer Little Children"

2010-02-13T00:01:00.003-07:00

My wife always teases me when I say this but these guys are definitely one of my favorite bands (and hers). Why does she tease me? Well I guess it's because I really have about 100 favorite bands.

Setlist:

Breakthrough
Dramamine
3rd Planet
Doin' the Cockroach
Trailer Trash
Perfect Disguise
Jaw Breaker
Cowboy Dan
Paper Thin Walls
Out of Gas

LCD Soundsystem - Electric Picnic - Stradbally, Ireland - September 4, 2005 - Soundboard

2010-02-12T00:01:00.003-07:00

This band is quite unknown in the alternapop world but they deserve more!

Setlist:

Beat Connection
On Repeat
Daft Punk Is Playing At My House

Movement
Losing My Edge
Yeah

Killing Joke - BBC Sessions

2010-02-11T00:01:00.002-07:00

I guess there is an official release of most of these songs and it sounds a little better (this is another vinyl rip with a bit of noise) but this one seems to be more complete and includes some other BBC sessions other than the John Peel sessions on the official release.

Joy Division - The Wharehouse - Preston, UK - February 28, 1980 - Soundboard

2010-02-10T00:01:00.001-07:00

New Order sprang from the ashes of this band after Curtis (the lead singer) hung himself. I have to admit it took me many years to get into this band and, with the help of Nine Inch Nails, I finally latched on and I now think that they were quite good. This one came from a vinyl rip and has a little bit of surface noise but it's still a great show.

Setlist:

Incubation *
Wilderness *
Twenty Four Hours *
The Eternal *
Heart And Soul *
Shadowplay *
Transmission *
Disorder *
Warsaw *
Colony *
Interzone *
She's Lost Control *

Setlist:

Suck it up
Killing Time
Dangerous
Feel Good
I Got You
Bartender
Blackout

I have never been a big metal fan but this band used to play in our area lot (I have seen them play five times) and they put on a great show and seemed to love playing in our podunk little town. The band has undergone something of a transformation since those days but this is a solid set with great sound.

Flaming Lips - KCRW Studios - July 18, 2002 - Radio Broadcast

2010-02-06T00:01:00.002-07:00

I suppose you lose quite a bit by not seeing the visual aspect of the Lips live shows but the audio is still quite good as a stand alone product.

02. Do You Realize?
03. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1
04. Interview w/ Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd

Echo and the Bunnymen - Karen - Gothenburg, Sweden - November 6, 1987 - Radio Broadcast

2010-02-05T00:01:00.002-07:00

A band that has managed to remain somewhat relevant after quite a long time by slightly re-inventing itself a number of times. This set is perhaps from the peak of their existence as a band.

Setlist:

1. Rescue
2. Bombers Bay
3. My Kingdom
4. Seven Seas
5. Bedbugs and Ballyhoo
6. The Killing Moon
7. The Cutter

The Cure - Hurrah's Club - New York City - April 15, 1980 - Soundboard

2010-02-03T00:01:00.001-07:00

Setlist:

I don't have an accurate setlist to cut and paste. The vinyl that this was ripped from is a hack and paste job but it sounds great and is a great trip to the Cure's past. They were quite a markedly different band back then but that is not all that bad as they have managed to evolve over the past thirty years without growing stale.

The show is, unfortunately, incomplete.

Blind Melon - The Palace - Hollywood, CA - October 11, 1995 - Westwood One FM Broadcast

2010-02-02T00:01:00.000-07:00

In my humble opinion this band was largely underrated. Their live sets are very tight and there is lots of sonic goings on to please my ears.

Setlist:

Wilt
Tones of home
Vernie
Lemonade
Change
Walk
No rain
Galaxie
The Duke
St. Andrews Fall
Paper Scratcher
Working Class Hero

2010-02-01T00:01:00.002-07:00

One of my absolute favorite bands from the last few years. I believe that they have a new album due in March but until then you can easily tide yourself over with this excellent live set from 2005.

Setlist:

Wake Up
Neighborhood #2 (Laka)
No Cars Go
Une Année Sans Lumière
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Rebellion (Lies)
Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
Crown Of Love
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)

February is The ABC's of Bootlegs Month!

2010-01-31T23:59:00.000-07:00

Being that February only has 28 days and the alphabet is has 26 letters it was almost a natural fit to post the ABC's of my favorite bootlegs this month. For some letters it will obviously be slim pickings and for others it will be hard to pick my favorites but in the latter situation I will try to post some bands that I have not yet posted to this blog. Enjoy!
