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.

The Long Blondes - The Magic Stick - Detroit, MI - May 23, 2008 - Audience Recording

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!

U2 - Complete Salome (7 Discs!)

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.
