(Megaupload - All of the old Rapidshare links are probably going to expire so get them while the getting is good, I do not plan on re-uploading most of them.)

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

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).

(Megaupload)

My Rapidshare account has hit it's limit so old files are going to start to automatically be deleted. Better grab what you want now because I probably won't be re-uploading any old stuff! I may switch providers soon though, stay tuned!

U2 - The Hershey Tapes (1992)

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

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
2) Denial
3) Trust
4) Suffocate
5) Broken Down
6) Skeleton Song

13) Face to Face
14) --waiting for encore--
15) Praise and Enemy

Show Me What You Got
Counterfeit
9 Teen 90 Nine
Get Up
