B SIDES COLLECTION A pot pourri, a couple of outtakes, b sides, live tracks, foreign language versions etc. Plenty good, commercial sound of course.

1979 LONDON. Soundboard. Joe is the Man! Bonus tracks include a studio outtake and a couple of 1997 Heaven & Hell Tracks (From West 57th?) Fantastic show, but didn't get any source information from trader.

MAY 6, 1979. Denver, Colorado. Very nice show with Joe doing his first 2 discs along with a cover of "Ain't That A Shame." This was light faire, but good light faire.

MAY 12, 1979. Los Angeles, California. At the Whiskey, man -- another enjoble run threw by Joe.

MAY 14, 1979. Sweet radio broadcast, with a musical take on "Life is A Bowl Cherries" that you just gotta hear.

JUNE 17, 1979, Amsterdam, Holland. Nice radio show. Joe's now playing a number of songs from the yet to be released I'm The Man album.

HAPPY LOVIN' COUPLES. 1979. Chicago, Illinois. Joe is just kickin up a storm and chatty as always. Closes with an outtake from "Look Sharp" nice idea.

UNAUTHORIZED LIVE. VOLUME ONE. New York City. 1980. The thinking man's new waver. Superb show featuring songs from his first 2 discs. Love it.

FEBRUARY 23, 1980. Boston, Massachusetts. Pretty certain I caught this show which was broadcast on the cool at the time radio station, WBCN.

AUGUST 9, 1980 (2) Asbury Park, New Jersey. A decent, but messy soundboard and Joe has certainly got his snarly stage thing going. He introduces a couple of tunes from the yet to be released "Beat Crazy" album. Lots of fun, remember that's what it's supposed to be about.

STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY. July 8, 1981. New York City. I treasure this one. It's the Jumpin Jive tour which I am priveliged to have caught. It's so much fun!!!

DECEMBER 8, 1982. Boston, Mass. Start with fantastic, commercial sound. And Joe, despite a little frog in his throat early which clears up, is on top of his game. He's got a pretty big sounding band with him and really delivers on this 14 song set. As usual a few creative rearrangements on his standards. A phenomonal take of "Fools in Love" led by an immense Graham Maby bass line. Whoa!

DECEMBER 9, 1992. Boston, Mass. The next night just as good.

JANUARY 25, 1983 Milano, Rolling Stone. Very good recording - nice single disc of the "Night & Day" Tour.

ROCKPALAST. April 16, 1983. Oh yes, another terrific radio broadcast. Just listen to the bass on "Another World" - its out of this world.

JUNE 20, 1986. (2) Expo World's Fair, Vancouver. Fantastic sounding boot from the "Big World" Tour. An unappreciated & underrated album, I think Joe at the height of his creative powers and inspiration.

OCTOBER 21, 1986 (2) Tokyo, Japan. Stellar sound and performance. A+

SEPTEMBER 20, 1991. Sydney. Fantastic stupendous show. A great single disc with varied takes on a bunch of Jackson's best. Among the best boots from Joe.

LIVE FROM GERMANY April 16, 1993, Grugahalle, Essen, Germany (2) Excellent radio broadcast from a great tour featuring a stomping Motown medley. Joe: you're the man.

NOVEMBER 30, 1994 (2) Boston, Massachusetts. Nice recording with Joe being quite the humorous fellow that he. Lots of stage chat and good performances.

HEAVEN & HELL LIVE (2) February 17, 1998, Chicago, Illinois. Super sound, commercial quality again (basically all my Jackson stuff is top shelf). Nice mix of old and new with some clever arrangements of old favorites.

WFUV WORDS & MUSIC. November 6, 2000. A mix of song, interview and a reading from his autobiography (which is alot of fun, btw). Pefect sound with Joe in his witty self.

JANUARY 18, 2001 (2) Olympia, Paris, France. Terrific sounding radio broadcast. Nice jazzy 7 peice band with a mix of old and new songs in crystal clear sound. Superb.

FEBRUARY 29, 2008 (2) Dublin, Ireland. Another very good offering from our white haired boy. Always professional, always good.

MARCH 5, 2008 (2) Brussels, Belgium. Pretty good sounding audience boot with a lame cover of "Reelin' in the Years."

BERLIN RAIN March 11, 2008 (2) Berlin, Germany. Superb recording!! Superb Performance !! One of Joe's best boots of the year. "Scary Monsters," "Real Men," "Obvious Song" are all highlights.

APRIL 1, 2008 (2) Toronto, Canada. Imperfect audience taping, but Joe continues to be the consumate pro - nice mix from the catalog

APRIL 4, 2008. FREE AT NOON. World Cafe Live, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Radio show opens with "Steppin out" and closes with "Is She Really" and sandwiches in new songs between the two.

JULY 2, 2008 (2) Friedburg, Germany. Another decent taping, but still captures the old dude.

OCTOBER 24, 2008 (2) Boulder, Colorado. Okay recording - nice enuf show. A few too many tunes from the latest album, but maybe that's a result of listening to a bunch of his recent shows lately.

NOVEMBER 7, 2008 (2) New York City. A very good audience taping. As I've listened to a whole bunch of 08 shows, his newer material has really grown on me.

NOVEMBER 8, 2008 (2) Atlantic City, New Jersey. Another very good audience recording. Joe is a pro.

TEATRO MONTECASINO. (2) June 4 & June 5, 2009 Johanesburg, South Africa. 2 well recorded nights with mixed up set lists. You also get a handful of radio promos and interviews.

JUNE 20, 2009 (2) Cologne, Germany. An okay audience taping, but still lots of pleasures contained. Always love Joe's on stage persona - here he comments on how he hates going to concerts and being told to clap and sing, that's the performer's job.

JUNE 21, 2009 (2) Utrecht, Holland. Accetable audience taping. Nice show.

JULY 25, 2009 (2) Berlin, Germany. Enjoyable show as Joe continues to stubbornly mix old and new tunes. Hey Joe! Play something from "Big World" It's a great album.
