Other Artists M-Z
A brilliant variety of music showcasing my exquisite taste
MADNESS. PINKPOP FESTIVAL 09. May 31, 2009. A really charming performance from this perfectly nice band. Perfect sound quality. It's kicky, shticky good time. Frankly I enjoyed it more than I thought.

MANASSAS. MARCH 22, 1973. Amsterdam. Stephen Stills backed by Chris Hillman + others built a nice little bad in the early to mid 1970's. Love Still's guitar & vocals and it's a decent sounding recording too.

RICHARD MANUAL. THE GETAWAY 1985. (2) Saugerties, New York. A special show. It's a bit grainy and imperfect in taping, but affecting, warm and passionate.

BOB MARLEY. NICE TIME. Alternate tracks & Dub versions of various tunes. No artwork.

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. THE RECORD PLANT. December 2, 1973. Nice set of studio outtakes along with 5 songs from a Radio One performance. The Third World Dylan, my friends.

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. JUNE 10, 1975. Quiet Knight Club. Has a real nice informal feel to the disc. A Great recording of 9 songs. Hey you even get to hear Bob talk to the crowd...what's up with that?

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. APRIL 23, 1976 (2) Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. Lovely. Talk about passion. Jeez. A little more stage chat than some other boots that I own. Special.

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. LONDON RAINBOW 1977. Superb soundboard that is damn near commercial quality. Just about all of my favorite Marley tunes are here - at the height of his powers.

BOB MARLEY. JUNE 8, 1978. Early Show. Boston. Damn. I think I went to this one with my Dad if you can believe. Bootleg sounds great.

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. JUNE 8, 1980. Kaisrelautern. Mediocre audience taping, not awful just not very good. Final track gets clipped. Still I enjoyed.

BOB MARLEY. JUNE 12, 1980 (2) Dortmund, Germany. Excellent show & a very very good recording to boot. The I-Three's start off the night that Bob steps in for a generous set.

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. JUNE 27, 1980 (2) Milan, Italy. Start off with the great sound quality. You get a nice opening 4 song set from the I-Threes. A wonderful, rich, warm and energizing concert.

BOB MARLEY. THE LAST SHOW. September 23, 1980. Pittsurgh, PA. Good to the end. Soundboard, no art.

BOB MARLEY. CATCH A FIRE & BURNIN' DEMOS. The first set of Catch Demo's do have a little source hiss, but otherwise a nice little boot for my collection.

BOB MARLEY. NATTY DREAD DEMOS. Some sweat material, quite finished sounding.

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS. (2) July 21, 1979, Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, Massachusetts. I attended this show which was a fund raiser for some kind of African charity/cause. I remembering enjoying the show and then going to scoop ice cream that night. No ganja for me I had to go to work. Anyway, this taping ain't bad - though not essential.

BOB MARLEY. KAYA DEMOS & MIXES. 2 Discs of imperfect sound but still glad it is sitting on my shelf.

BOB MARLEY. WOUNDED LION SESSION. MP3 Version. 6 Studio outtakes, unreleased, unpolished jams from the the last man than stood.

MADONNA. SEPTEMBER 26, 1983. London, England. Soundboard recording. I wouldn't attest that all those vocals were lives - me bests that she pipes some of it in, but that's not her gig anyway. Is it live or is it memorex. The crowd goes bonkers for her, I just think she's hot.

MADONNA. MAY 10, 2008. Hard Candy Promo Tour. Radio 1's Big Weekend. Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent. 7 songs to promote her album. Perfect sound, not so perfect music.

GROUCHO MARX. I NEVER KISSED AN UGLY WOMAN. I can't make the same claim. Fun little collection from various appearances. He was a riot.

CURTIS MAYFIELD. LIVE AT THE BITTER END. January 17, 1971. No Setlist or artwork. Dig it. The man IS soul.

CURTIS MAYFIELD. 1990. Underappreciated talent in soundboard sound. Great band, amazing singing and all my favorite Curtis songs done splendidly. And by the way your cultural I.Q. drops in half if you have never seen "Superfly."

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND OCTOBER 6, 1994 (2) A soundboarder that's as clean as a whistle, Dave just a bit too bland for my taste.

DEL MCCOURY BAND. JUNE 1, 1995. Perfect soundboard - can barely hear the crowd. Bluegrass baby!

BOBBY MCFERRIN. JUNE 17, 2009 (2) London. Don't worry be happy. Far more enjoyable than I imagined. Lots of audience involvement and improvisation. Gimmicky, but it's sort of a cool talent.

DON MCCLEAN. NEW YORK 1971. December 28, 1971. New York City. Nice in studio radio performance from Mr. American Pie. Seems like a nice, sweet guy.

DON MCCLEAN. APRIL 20, 1974. New York, New York. Crystal clear soundboard. Just a bit too earnest for my taste.

MEATLOAF. TWO GIGS LIVE IN 1978 (2) June 6, 1978, London and January 18, 1978, Toronto. Guilty pleasure alert. There's alot of energy + ambition on exhibit here. Listen without prejudice.

JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP. WHEELS ARE TURNING. September 11, 1993. I have always felt that the more recent Mellencamp is better than the older and more commecially succesful stuff. Terrific live show, soundboard recording though the vocals is just half a tad low in the mix.

JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP. AUGUST 6, 2001. (2) Denver, Colorado. A good audience taping = maybe even a B+ if I am feeling chartiable. Just not crisp enuf for a casual fan like me.

METALLICA. JUNE 7, 2008. Nurburgring, Germany. I don't get it.

ROGER MILLER. FEBRUARY 16, 1991. Alexandria, Virginia. Outstanding show in sound and performance. Bravo!! He's a corny showman, but that his charm. Check your provincialism at the door.

JONI MITCHELL & JAMES TAYLOR. AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL. October 28, 1970. BBC Radio Broadcast hosted by John Peel. Nice recording marred by a tiny glitch on final track. Too much Joni - shit girl, Life ain't that bad!! But James is always so on and appealing you know.

KEB' MO' BAY AREA BLUES. 1998 Plant Studios and a 1996 Blues Festival performances. Oh that steel Gee-Tar. Superb recordings.

KEB MO. SESSIONS AT W. 54TH STREET & AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 1996. 10 songs plus 2
nterview clips. The man can play the steel guitar. Perfect sound. Homemade art.

KEB MO. JULY 21, 1998. (2) Arcata, California. Sweet soundboard. Keb puts on an amazing show - a perfect set for a long lonely summer drive. Nor art or complete setlist info.

KEB MO. FEBRUARY 4, 2000. McCarter Theatre, Princeton, NJ. (2). Such a great talent, audience taper with really high quality equipment - picks up quite a bit of audience chatter and singing along at the same time capturing the performance quite crisply.

MOBY. JUNE 12, 2000. Superb sounding show from audience taper - Moby's one fun guy.

MOE (2) May 6, 2000. Plenty of jamming good fun, from a fine American band.

THE MONKEES. LIVE IN JAPAN 1968. Bizzare, eh. A noisy crowd screeches over the fab wannabees. Not for the faint of heart.

BILL MONROE & HIS BLUEGRASS BOYS JULY 14, 1957. 37 Excellent songs from the man who invented the genre.

MORPHINE. MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC. Radio show, January 14, 1993. A LA radio appearance promoting a show at the Troubadour. It's early so Mark sounds a little groggy, but the 5 songs performed are perfect.

MORPHINE. March 8, 1994. Cleveland, Ohio. Commerical quality soundboard. I went to summer camp with Mark Sandman, man, I loved those guys.

MORPHINE. JUNE 6, 1999. Central Square Worlds Fair, Cambridge, MA. I caught this show and can't believe that 10 years later I found it on the web. It says it's their last US Show and a soundboard too. This was a free outdoor show and I remember waiting for 10 minutes after they climbed up on the makeshift stage for their sound man. Hmmm.

ALANIS MORISETTE. UNSCATHED. From a variety of srouces from '98 + '99 concert performances. 17 songs from 12 different places. Good to very good sound quality. She really is an emotional singer - I just dig her.

MORRISSEY. LONDON 1991. Acceptable audience recording of the Moz. A unique songwriting
talent.

VAN MORRISON. ASTRAL WEEKS LIVE. A compilation of live tracks that forms the album. Source quality varies though you gotta applaud the idea.

VAN MORRISON. THE INNER MYSTIC REMASTERED. September 1971, A sweet MP3 sourced treat. Van introcues his new single...Wild Night. Top shelf stuff.

VAN MORRISON. SEPTEMBER 7, 1971. Sacramento, California. Terrific show with plenty of nuggets.

VAN MORRISON. MECHANICAL BLISS (2) I guess these are high quality studio outtakes or alt mixes or something. Funky and cool.

VAN MORRISON. NOVEMBER 26, 1978 (2) Los Angeles, California. Radio broadcast chock full of George Ivan's hits. Strong show - a delight.

VAN MORRISON. HAMMERSMITH ODEON LONDON. November 11, 1986 (2) Good show, good recording but didn't really catch fire. A bit too mellow and slow at times for my taste.

VAN MORRISON. RAVE ON. 1987 Glastonberry Festival. Soundboard boot, eclectic setlist.
Sweet.

VAN MORRISON. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE. From the same show(s?) that It's Too Late To Stop Now Came From. A couple from that album as well as bunch missing from the official product.
Commerical sound quality throughout.

VAN MORRISON PAGAN STREAMS (2) April 1, 1991. Soundboard. Delightful Georgie Fame backed show. He's gosh darn jolly, I swear. Laughing, joking, telling stories. Superb though not filled with hits if that is what you are looking for.

VAN MORRISON. WAY UP ON THE AVENUE. (2) January/1998 in New York City. From his
co-headlining tour with Dylan. 29 songs with 2 duets with Bobby and plenty of great music.

VAN MORRISON. FROM DUBLIN UP TO SANDY ROW. December 17, 1995. Dublin, Ireland. I swear it is perfect. I mean perfect. Perfect, I say!!

VAN MORRISON. BURING GROUND. May/1998. Great stuff from the man. Diverse setlist without relying on the big hits.

VAN MORRISON. LIVE AT THE BOTTOM LINE. 1978. I remember listening to this show on the
radio while at college. More terrific stuff with an introduction from old friend, Peter Wolf. Begins with "Moondance" and ends with "Caravan" 'nuff said.

VAN MORRISON. I LIKE CANDY. December/1998 (2) Killer set with guest appearances from
Saxophone extraordinaire Candy Dulfer and Mavis Staples.

VAN MORRISON & LINDA GALE LEWIS. WE WIN AGAIN. January 12, 2001 (2) Boston,
Massachusetts. Terrific audience taping of a show (with Linda Gale Lewis) that sold out on me. A blast of old blues and rhythm and blues.

VAN MORRISON. COPY CATS STOLE MY SOUL. A nice slick one - jazzy band and terrific sound.

VAN MORRISON. EDINBURGH JAZZ FESTIVAL. August 6, 2004 (5) Edinburgh, Scotland. Simply awe inspiring. My version came with 3 bonus discs unsourced from same era. Fantastico!

VAN MORRISON. KEEPING IT SIMPLE AT THE BBC (2) February 2008 + March 12, 2008. Two different radio shows. Both are terrific as the interviews are quite revealing. The 2nd show is hosted by Zep's John Paul Jones whom Van truly warms up to and trusts. Essential.

MARIA MULDAUR. EBBETS FIELD. January 30, 1974. Denver, Colorado. MP3 sourced. Concert is burned out of sequence, but shouldn't complain as it is such perfect sound. I think her sole hit - "Midnight at the Oasis" - included here - is indicative of her jazzy singing style.

RALPH NADER RALLY. October 13, 2000. Madison Square Garden, NYC. Commercial quality
soundboard with Ani DiFranco, Ben Harper, Eddie Veddar & Patti Smith all contributing a couple of tunes each. Eddie's version of "The Times They Are A-Changin'" is for the ages! 8 Tracks only, but all outstanding performances.

WILLIE NELSON + LEON RUSSELL. APRIL 1, 1979. Passaic, New Jersey. This is a WNEW radio broadcast...and yes...it's fantastic.

WILLIE NELSON + MERLE HAGGARD. DECEMBER 4, 1997 (2) Austin, Texas. Must have been the raw feed of some TV taping. They let various band members have a turn at the mic. A warm, sloppy, lovely country music performance.

WILLIE NELSON. STARS & GUITARS. April 14, 2002, Nashville, Tennessee. There's a shitload of artists who show up here for this Birthday tribute: Keef, Dixie Chicks, Emmylou, Waylon, jeez even Bon Jovi. A bit formal feeling, but still nice. Probably taped off the commercial broadcast.

WILLIE NELSON & FAMILY. APRIL 21, 2008 (2) Melkweg, Amsterdam. A wonderful, warm hoedown. Special guest? Snoop Doggy Dog!!! Lots of crowd singalonging. Charming audience taping.

MICHAEL NESMITH. APRIL 28, 1974. London. The "Artsy" Monkee - the one with artististic credibility. A scratchy, but warm recording. Mike w/guitar telling anecdotes but avoiding an discussion of the TV Beatles.

THE NEW YORK DOLLS. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. Very good set of Doll's outtakes.

RANDY NEWMAN. BOARDING HOUSE SF. June 11, 1972 (MP3 Version). A wicked clean broadcast of a chatty + cheeky piano man alone at the keys handling it all with aplomb.

RANDY NEWMAN NOVEMBER 4, 1974. Saucalito, California. This is a KSAN radio station appearance by Randy con Piano. Does alot of my favorite stuff in front of a studio audience. The Anti Elton.

RANDY NEWMAN. LIVE IN ROTTERDAM 1979. Very good soundboard with Randy at the helm & keyboard. Plenty of our favs.

RANDY NEWMAN. BOB EDWARDS XM RADIO INTERVIEW. 2007. Terrific show with Randy at the piano playing and singing terrifically as well as witty conversation. One big file strangely a 6 min segment gets repeated.

NICKEL CREEK. NOVEMBER 16, 2000 (2) Berkeley, California. Soundboarder and a good one. These kids get it, man. A+ show.

NICKEL CREEK. March 2, 2001 (2) Lexington, Kentucky. Just love these guys - don't have artwork or setlist for this one (should have jotted it down as it went, but I haven't yet). If you aren't a fan of these then you should start to be. Nice clean show, I haven't decided if these chatty children are charming or a bit long winded - but boy they can sure play well together.

NICKEL CREEK. NOVEMBER 2, 2007. National Public Radio. Nice long performance followed by a pre-show interview. Love.

NINE INCH NAILS. HAMMERING IT HOME 94. London. A very good recording. Really now, one of the few techno bands that is/were rock and roll. You gotta give Trent Reznor the props - his spooky vision is a real one.

NIRVANA. BLEW. January 20, 1990, Tacoma, Washington. Soundboard recording, hey we even get the soundcheck.

NIRVANA. FIRE EXTINGUISHER (2) February 19, 1992. Tokyo, Japan. MP3 sourced, wicked clean with virtually no audience heard. An extraordinary gig - hot hot hot - a hard rockin gig with a heartfelt "Love Buzz" a personal favorite.

NIRVANA. XXII II MCMXCIV. Soundboard recording from their Feburary 22, 1994 performance in
Rome. Every listen makes you miss them more.

NIRVANA. OUTCESTICIDE. VOLUME 1. Lots of studio stuff, not sure how often I'm gonna listen to this, but still not bad.

GARY NUMAN. March 19, 1980. Santa Monica, California. I'd best describe this as a messy soundboard. Best known for his one hit wonder - "Cars" - not sure where Trent Reznor would be without him. No set list info.

GARY NUMAN. MAY 31, 1980. Melbourne, Australia. Old school industrial techno. Nice soundboard.

OASIS. UNPLUGGED. A terrific collection of acoustic performances from that 1994-5 period when they were right there. They may not be as great as they think they are, but this disc made a believer out of me. Setlist only.

BARRACK OBAMA. WE ARE ONE (2) This is one of the pre inauguration events with Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige,Bettye Lavette, JT, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Tom Hanks, Jack Black etc etc. Must have sourced off of the HBO broadcast. Man, we were so hopeful.

SINEAD O'CONNOR. VISIONS. Half the disc from April 8, 1995 and the other half from June 5, 1995. She's got transcendent talent and alot to say. Nice career spanning selections.

SINEAD O'CONNOR MAY 14, 2007. Basel, Switzerland. Radio broadcast. Real good stuff. She's a fine artist - hey it was her career that she ruined, I don't hold it against her. Immense singing and passion.

SINEAD O'CONNOR. MARCH 19, 2008. Sydney, Australia. Flawed audience taping, could have used more seperation. Still a joy to listen though she's one confused Christian.

JOAN OSBORNE. ROSE LAND. September 9, 1995, New York City. Soundboard recording with a strong & powerful Joan taking on all comers. She's my favorite Joan (Baez or Jett) or atleast tied with Armatrading.

JOAN OSBORNE. FALLING FROM GRACE. April 11, 1996. Toronto. Superb commerical quality...And clearly Joan likes her audience to dance!

JOAN OSBORNE. LIVE TOGETHER. Breman, West Germany, November 9, 2002. A sensational sounding show - my first track has a little digital noise and my copy doesn't contain any of the bonus tracks. Still worthwhile.

JOAN OSBORNE. BUFFALO ROCKS THE HARBOR. June 27, 2009, Buffalo, New York. A great sounding show. She has both a distinctive voice, but also a unique stylized way of singing.

ROBERT PALMER. JOHNNY & MARY. Real nice disc. Somehow I picture him on a beach in the British Isles livin large off his royalties of his big hits.

ROBERT PALMER. BAND IN BOSTON. I forget how much I love this guy. radio promo so it's got a great sound to it. love.

ROBERT PALMER. NOVEMBER 9, 1979. Paris, France. Excellent show from a terrific artist - talk about forgotten material. Sheit, this is really good stuff - a mix of excellent covers (how about a surprising cover of Gary Numan's "Cars") Love.

GRAHAM PARKER. APRIL 7, 1988. Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois. Steller recording - sounds like a radio broadcast from our unsung hero.

MACEO PARKER AUGUST 25, 1999 (2) Chicago, Illinois. Seems that the taping got better as the night progressed. His commercial live release among my most favorite possessions. No setlist or artwork. Maceo! Got the Funk!

GRAM PASONS LIVE ALL-STAR TRIBUTE. Sessions at West 54th Street. September 19, 1999. Television concert broadcast to promote a tribute album, hosted by Emmylou with Steve Earle, Chris Hillman, Sheryl Crow etc. Excellent sound and nice takes.

PEARL JAM. RARITIES. Various live performances from 1992-3, audience recordings for most if not all, Sound quality varies. Includes covers of "Baba O'Reilly," "Light My Fire," "My Generation," and "Roadhouse Blues."

PEARL JAM. PULLED THE COVERS (5) How good? A listen to these five discs might make you think these guys are the greatest band ever. This is just killer, stuffed with gems, you get everything here. Special guests, guest appearances, the expected and unexpected. A buffet for the soul.

PEARL JAM. MTV UNPLUGGED. The 8 Cuts from the TV show in fine sound quality.

PEARL JAM. SELF POLUTION RADIO SHOW. JANUARY 8, 1995. Nice single disc of the band's musical performances during that promotional radio broadcast. A+ sound.

PEARL JAM. MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE...IT'S PEARL JAM (2). Rocking a little harder, this one is a soundboarder from Hartford, Connecticut on October 2, 1996. Quite a groovy version of "Not For You" with an Eddie monologue at mid song.

PEARL JAM. NOVEMBER 3, 1996. (2). Berlin, Germany. Great stuff. Setlist only.

PEARL JAM. MARCH 5, 1998. Melbourne, Australia. Another clean show - all of the Pearl Jam shows were well taped and have nearly equally fantastic sound quality.

PEARL JAM. JULY 22, 1998. (2) Recorded in their hometown of Seattle. Excellent sounding show.

PEARL JAM. SEPTEMBER 16, 1998. (2) Great Woods, Mansfield, Massachusetts. THis set will erase any doubts you may have about Eddie & friends. They are the premier rock band of the 90's still standing. Soundboard recording with crystal clear sound. I was actually at this show, but wasn't involved with the taping (Mutual funds & piracy don't mix). Begins with Eddie doing a surpise song solo before the opening act. Homemade artwork.

PEARL JAM. JUNE 9, 2007 (2) Madrid, Spain. Excellent. And I mean excellent. Spanish radio broadcast with a number of DJ interuptions between songs. PJ sound great after all these year, playing better than ever.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS. JULY 16, 1978. Boston, Mass. Broadcast by local radio pioneer WBCN, I remember not going to this show. Petty is oung and has the 3 B's on his mind: The Byrds, The Beatles and Bob. Excellen show, essential in fact. A fistful of covers some of them worked - Route 66, Don't Bring me Down - and some didn't - shout.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKRS. May 24, 1980. Oxford, England. Nice show from Florida's finest. Nice peformance and can't I say great rock and roll songs.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS. STRAIGHT INTO DARKNESS. (2). Utrecht, Holland. December 4, 1982. Wow! Soundboard boot from Rock & Roll's greatest unsung hero. Great Stuff!!

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS. FREE FALLIN' Real nice boot from his 1990 tour and far superior to his shabby commercial live product.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS. JANUARY 1997 FILLMORE RESIDENCY COMPILATION (3) Fantastico! Brilliante! Generous set with a mess of cover tunes turning the band into the greatest cover band ever. Damn amazing. There is a strong case to be made for Petty.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS. JUNE 30, 2006 (2) Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Always a great performer, the taping just wasn't up to the artist on this occasion. Eddie Vedder comes out on a couple of tunes.

TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS. MAY 30, 2008 (2) Grand Rapids, Michigan. Super audience taping -- he's a great one...really!

LIZ PHAIR. FUCK & RUN. I think a radio broadcast and I expecting a better sound, but it just may be her brand of garage rock. Dig her!

LIZ PHAIR. OCTOBER 5, 2008 (2). NPR Podcast. Liz performs "Exile in Guyville" in its entirity. Good stuff and its followed by a nice half hour interview. What can I say, I like hot, nutty, potty mouthed rock chicks.

PHISH. TAKE COVER. Fan compilation of various cover songs. Not sure what the big fuss is about. I never wanted to be a hippy, how about you - just a black soul singer or the second baseman for the Red Sox. Anyway, they are certainly fine musicians and this disc contains a nice variety of stuff.

WILSON PICKETT. OCTOBER 2,1969. Stockholm, Sweden. Terrific sweaty show from Wicked Pickett. Turns up the heat + the soul.

THE PIXIES. APRIL 13, 2004. Fine Line Music Cafe, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Commercial sound, the band that inspires the loud/soft/loud sound of Nirvana gets a second life and makes a shitload of noise. Rockin' show.

ROBERT PLANT & ALLISON KRAUS. APRIL 18, 2008. (2) Louisville, Kentucky.
Disappointing sound quality marring this inspired pairing.

BUSTER POINDEXTER. JANUARY 11, 1988 (2) San Francisco, California. If I called it genius would you think I was overstating it? This is a commercial sounding radio broadcast. Hysterical. Amazing. Splendid. Essential. Really.

IGGY POP. AUGUST 21, 1998. Bizare Festival. All of Jimmy's hits + a perverted rewriting of "Louie Louie." Good sound quality.

THE POLICE. MARCH 4, 1979. Berkely, California. Back when there were as much "punk" - hah - as reggae. Before they were intellectuals. Plenty of youthful anxst with Sting twice calling out the wrong songs. An unhappy band - no doubt - but this was fun.

THE POLICE. MARCH 20, 1982. Houston, Texas. Pretty nice recording of these three non-blondes. Hey these guys were a good BAND.

THE POLICE. JUNE 20, 2007. (2) Los Angeles, California. First off, a pretty good audience taping. A mixed bag with some nice takes and some stiff ones. Sting can surely still sing, but I'm not unhappy that I skipped a mortgage payment to go see them.

THE PRETENDERS. GLASTONBERRY 1994. Chrissie's a rocker!

PRINCE. COVERING THEM. The music is certainly top shelf and it seems to have taken from 4 different concerts with the sound quality varying from good to okay to pretty good.

PRINCE. SMALL CLUB GIG (2) August 19, 1988, France. Magnifique. I listened to this show the first time from beginning to end in my car on my way to a business appointment. This is one of Prince's famed late night surprise gigs where real magic gets created. Just a creative funky explosion. Captured in commercial sound quality, if you are a Prince fan or a Funk music fan this is essential.

PRINCE. TOKYO 1990. Excellent sounding boot with only a slightly dulled percussion keeping it from commercial sound quality. I think he yells out "Tokyo!" on every track.

PRINCE. RU GONNA GO MY WAY. (2) December 23, 1998. This is an after show club gig with guests Lenny Kravitz, Larry Graham, Candy Dulfer, Jerry Martini & Cynthia Robinson. If you don't know who most of them are you won't be trading for this funky show. Its an okay taping, but the shows just pulsates with sex and beats and funk. Let's your freak flag fly its the bomb!

PRINCE. SUPERBOWL 2007. When he's on, he's on. This contains the complete press conference performance as well as the halftime gig. Covering Dylan & the Foo Fighters along with his some of his back catalog, the man can ignite!

PRINCE. BLACK EYE DAY (5) October 10 & 11, 2008. Simply amazing. I'll type it again, simply amazing. No it's not the recording which is just okay it's the whole damn thing. You get the show, the after show, a Dave Chappelle routine, you get a mess of covers. It's awesome.

PULP. ROCKSLIDE 1998. They love this band on the other side of the ocean, a bit overpraised, but once you get pass that, good.

QUEEN. THIS IS QUEEN IN SAPPORA. May 6, 1979. Sappora, Japan. Dodgy audience taping - not up to snuff. But hey these bombastic boys weren't made for live recordings anyway.

QUEEN MAY 11, 1985 (2) Tokyo, Japan. Strong recording. A band full of swagger and well, you know, but still kind of inventive. I enjoyed it more than I want to admit.

THE RACONTEURS. MAY 19, 2008(2) NPR Radio broadcast. Washington, DC. Two discs-two long files.

THE RACONTEURS. JUNE 5, 2008(2) Toronto, Ontario. Decent taping, but certainly could have been better. Call me a Jack White purist, but I prefer his electro blues than his prog rock, stadium ambitions.

THE RACONTEURS. JUNE 12, 2008. (2) St. Louis, Missouri. Listening to this show, I tried to figure out why I love the White Stripes and these guys leave me non-plus. I don't know, but must say this was a smoking show.

THE RADIATORS. July 2, 2006 (2) Brooklyn, New York. Whistle clean soundboarder from this venerable New Orleans roadhorse. Wonderful.

CORINNNE BAILEY RAE. SWRS NEW POP FESTIVEL. September 22, 2006. Mercedes, Germany. Perfect sound - commercial level. She's a cute little cupcake of a girl and a nice singer, just not my cup of java.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. UNPLUGGED AND RARE. Poortly titleld disc as it is neither
unplugged or rare in the sense of material that is rarely played. However, this is great stuff from a band that had a chance to bridge the gap. Miss 'em.

BONNIE RAITT. LIVE AT ROCKEFELLERS. March/1998. Bonnie and a friend just singing the blues in Houston. Stellar. Homemade art.

BONNIE RAITT WITH LOWELL GEORGE. This is an October 17, 1972 radio broadcast that
Lowell sat in for a couple of songs. Great sounding stuff from long ago and far away.

BONNIE RAITT. MAY 9, 1974 (2) Harvard Square Theatre, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Considering its vintage, it's a very enjoyable show. You get both John Hall & Billy Payne in the band. Bruce Springsteen opened and Bonnie tells the crowd that he's a tuf act to follow. All in all, a nice one.

BONNIE RAITT. MAY 8, 2008 (2) Dana Point, California. Decent recording, a bit bass heavy.

THE RAMONES. THE 914 SESSIONS (1975) Hard to find 5 song EP done prior to the first album.

THE RAMONES. ROAD TO RUIN. A great collection of demos, outtakes and live trax. Unfortunately no set or source info, but those 3 chords were the best 3 chords.

RATED XMAS. 6 Dirty Christmas songs. Don't know it's origins, funny.

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS. WOODSTOCK 1994. Soundboard boot (couldn't imagine an audience tape from that crowd?) with the vocals just a tad behind in the mix. The band is loud, tight and smoking. Plenty good.

OTIS REDDING. WHISKEY A GO-GO. April/1966. (2) The early and late shows from which a live album was culled. Essential stuff, even performs "These Arms of Mine" as he takes a request from the audience. Setlist only.

OTIS REDDING. SWEET SOUL MUSIC. April 8, 1967. This was traded to me as a Booker T & the MG's show with Otis and the Markey's. No source or artwork, but my listening has most tracks featuring Otis the first 10 from the same source than a couple of different sources including the Monterey Pop festival. The greatest live singer, whatda think?

OTIS REDDING. SATISFACTION. June 4, 1967. Commercial sound quality and shit this is from nearly 40 years ago.

LOU REED. DESPITE ALL THE AMPUTATIONS. December 26, 1972. Incomplete art. Fucking perfect.

LOU REED, JOHN CALE & NICO BATACLAN January 29, 1972 Paris France. Quite an unusual treat. My version is a single disc (the artwork indicates a second disc of rehearsals). Cool.

LOU REED. SWEET JANE. Backed by the Dick Wagner/Steve Hunter tandem in 1972, Lou was rock's last great hope. Superb.

LOU REED. JANUARY 27, 1973. Alice Tully Hall, New York City. Simply spectacular! Wow!

LOU REED. WAITING FOR LOU. Stockholm, 1974. My ears adjusted quickly to the sound of this pretty good soundboard recording. Hadn't listened to Lou in a little while when I popped it into my Ipod and realized how much I love the guy.

LOU REED. RIDE PARIS RIDE. May 25, 1974. Paris, France. A downright funky "Sweet Jane" opens the show. Perfect sound.

LOU REED. APRIL 26, 1978. Cleveland, Ohio. WMMS Radio broadcast. Lou in the 70's was alot of fun. This band was more of a sax and keyboards outfit with a funky, R+B groove. Can't believe it was broadcast considering some of the language.

LOU REED. LOU REED IN CONCERT. Feburary 23, 1983. The Bottom Line, NYC. This is the live feed of a professional video taping. Lou was thrilled with the show - "levatated" at one point he notes in a brief interview after the show.

LOU REED. PHILADELPHIA. Lou goes Las Vegas...or atleast big band. 8 live tracks with horns & shit. Soundboard. Not sure the year, think early 90's.

LOU REED. NEW YORK STORIES. Performing the mighty album from Beginning to End, Lou was vital in 1989. Crystal clear sound quality as Lou connected on his third wind.

LOU REED. POWER AND GLORY. September 12, 1992. Real nice night + recording. Great setlist and performance. Lou! Lou! Lou! No artwork for this A+ boot.

LOU REED. BROOKLYN. Decembe 14, 2006. Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Brooklyn, New York. This is the "Berlin" album show done with majestic maturity. The Man can still create magic.

LOU REED. MAY 5, 2008 (2) NYC A better than good recording. John Zorn steps in at times and the show becomes insufferable when he is whining and wailing away. Ugh. Dreadful. However, there are still some great moments and songs - "Halloween Parade" for one.

LOU REED. LOLLAPALOOZA '09. August 9, 2009. Acceptable, not great, taping of Lou's 8 songs, some good stuff with one track this is miserable, unlistenable as only Lou can be.

R.E.M. TIME OF OUTTAKES. Nice collec
tion of outtakes, alternate versions from one of my all time favorite records. You get a slow and hard version of "Radio Song" with the annoying rap parts (whose idea of street cred was that, Michael?)

R.E.M. APRIL 11, 1992. In their hometown of Athens, Georgia. Real nice sound quality, recommend.

R.E.M. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME. 27 Cover songs on one disc. Quite a strange variety from "Wild Thing" to my personal favourite "The Ballad of Cat Ballou" which is a great Jane Fonda movie. Various sources and sound sound quality.

R.E.M. JULY 5, 1999. (2) Recorded in Paris, this show is not nearly the same sound quality as the Athens show. Sounds rather muddled, but not too bad.

R.E.M. LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL. March 24, 2008. BBC Radio broadcast and it sounds terrific. Hey, the new record sounds great and I haven't heard it yet. Very enjoyable scorcher of a show - maybe I still like these guys.

THE RESISTANCE. NEW YORK 1993. This is a strange, fun disc. All star band consisting of a couple of Ramones, Joan Jett & others. ou get such classisc as John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth," "Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World," and who knows' "Fascists Don't Fuck, they Screw." My disc is out of order.

JONATHAN RICHMOND & THE MODERN LOVERS. SONGS OF REMEMBERENCE (2) Cool. Various demos from the early 70's. Ahead of his time doesn't begin to describe it. Raw recordings of many of his greatest works including 5 different takes of "Roadrunner" amongst its treats.

JONATHAN RICHMOND/MODERN LOVERS. SONGS OF REMEMBRANCE. More early demos and stuff, 2nd half of the disc is marred by digital flaws, borderline to even list it.

JONATHAN RICHMOND. LIVE AT THE CAFE RUST. While the recording equipment was terrific it picked up all the chat which grew loader as the night progressed.

JONATHAN RICHMAN. CLUB 57. May 23, 1980, New York City. I think that this is an imperfect SNBD, but maybe not. With his unique blend of humor, rock & roll & boston accent, Jonathan is one of city's greatest citizens who should be enshrined with Sam Adams, John Hancock & Larry Bird.

ROCK 'N ROLL HALL FAME 25TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT. NIGHT 1. (5) October 29, 2009, New York City. First off, I kind of hoped for a better recording because HBO taped the night. It's an imperfect taping, but I quickly adusted. Basically, the night is split into thirds - CSN, Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen. Each artist takes over and brings out guests and sings. It's a pretty awesome collection of artists, I found it captivating and glad that I have some souveneir. Still waiting for night 2?

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Bellasco Theatre, New York City, March 14, 1975 ? An interesting treasure, but it's a passable recording. I saw the move a dozen or so times in it's day, but no I never dressed up.

ROXY MUSIC. IN CONCERT 1979: SUPER GOLDEN RADIO SHOWS NO: 017 Well, its a radio show so it has a clean, but one dimensional sound. Still sounds pretty good and these guys are special.

ROXY MUSIC. JULY 31, 2001. Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mediocre audience taping, but I still managed to enjoy.

LEON RUSSELL. THE CATALYST (2) March 22, 1985, Santa Cruz, California. Nothing short of staggering. An amazing show. Brilliant music. This IS what IT is all about.

SANTANA, CHICAGO, STEVE MILLER BAND. THREE NIGHTS AT BEACON. April 11, 12, 13, 1975. (2) Santana: Nice long guitar solos if you are into that sort of thing. I respect the guy a ton, but not my genre. Steve Miller: Surpised at how much I lived his set. Nice groovy rock + blues -- and I really liked his singing. Chicago: Don't tell anyone, but it was pretty good.

SEAL. UNPLUGGED. Starts strong with "Stone Free" and then kinda just continues, he's got that big big voice, but clearly excels in the studio.

PETE SEEGER. OCTOBER 12 & 13, 1957 (2) Chicago, Illinois. Soundboarder from the King of Earnest folkies.

PETE SEEGER'S 90TH BIRTHDAY. THE CLEARWATER CONCERT (4) May 3, 2009. New York City. First of all, I WAS THERE. You should be jealous. This is a complete taping of the entire show including the taped film parts, speeches etc. Amazing. Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Richie Havens, Arlo Gutherie, Joan Baez, Taj Mahal, John Mellancamp, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Ani DeFranco, Kris Kristoferson, tom Morello, Warren Haynes, Toshi Reagon, Tom Paxoton, Roger McGuinn, a couple of Wainwrights, a couple of McGarrigles, Ben Harper, Ramblin' Jack, Bruce Cockburn, Tom Chapin, Patterson Hood, Blea Fleck, Preservation Jazz Hall Band, Michael Franti, Oscar the Grouch and oh yeah Pete.

BOB SEGAR. FEBRUARY 8, 1987 (2) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Good, but certainly not a great audience taping. Seger lost me somwhere around the time he starated making beer commercials or were those for cars. Still I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting those songs that I loved back in my pudgy high school daze.

THE SEX PISTOLS. STUDIO SESSIONS. July 1976 & January 1977. The demo's, studio outtakes, alternate versions from the seminal "Never Mind the Bollocks."

THE SEX PISTOLS. LIVE IN TRONDHEIM. July 21, 1977. They rock. They roll. They were the freakin' PIstols, man.

THE SEX PISTOLS. LIVE IN THE USA. January 5, 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia. Soundboard recording of a band that couldn't play an couldn't sing - the greatest band ever...

THE SEX PISTOLS. WELCOME TO THE RODEO. October, 1, 1978. Dallas, Texas. My version doesn't contain the 2 bonus tracks from other shows, but does close with the radio ad for the gig. With that out of the way, this is IT. The Buzz! The Glory. The Passion! The Guts! !! !!

THE SEX PISTOLS. NOVEMBER 10, 2007 London. Flawed recording but still more than acceptable. Johnny is so damn entertaining. Really. Ends with a fine "Roadrunner." These guys have aged well. Really.

THE SEX PISTOLS. JANUARY 14, 1978. I believe their last show before the end. You get the amazing final comment from Johnny Rotten, "Ever get the feeling you've been swindled." Hey, it's a clean soundboard and they actually sound pretty good considering all that was going on.

RON SEXSMITH (2) September 9, 1999. Stockholm, Sweden. Good clean boot, he sounds like a happy version of Leonvard Cohen - nice melodic stuff.

MICHELLE SHOCKED. BERKLEE PERFORMANCE CENTER. March 31, 1999. Soundboard.
She's a little nutty, but I dig her. I caught her a year later or so and she used the same jokes.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL. THE ALTERNATE BOOKENDS. A compendium of tracks featuring high quality live perofrmances & outtakes that follow the album. Good stuff, but way frickin' earnest.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL VOICES OF INTELLIGENT DISSENT. August 23, 1966 at the Hollywood Bowl. Impressive soundboard boot but proof that Simon's songwriting improved over the next 35 years or so. Sweet harmonies from 2 old friends, but many that take themselves so fucking seriously.

SIMON & GARFUNKEL. July 10, 2009 (2) Tokyo, Japan. I dig 'em, but sometimes they get a bit dreary. Music is very good and the band is crackling

PAUL SIMON. OUT OF AFRICA. 1992. Lots of hits performed sensationally. High qualiy sound. Have a couple of Simon discs as well from the Dylan/Simon Summer of 1999 tour thought none in the same league as this disc.

PAUL SIMON. GRACELAND LIVE. (2) February 14, 1987. Zimbabwe. Sensational show with Ladysmith Black Mozabo. Highly recommend

PAUL SIMON. COMPLETELY UNPLUGGED (2) March 4, 1992. The complete MTV taping with starts, stops and technical asides. You also get the Willie/Paul Farm Aid set and birthday gig.
Good stuff.

PAUL SIMON. THE BOXER AND THE BEACON. December 8, 2000. New York City. Very good, very adult. Some nice arrangements and a few misfires (Kodachrome - hey Paul, keep it snappy). Ane the worst song he ever wrote "Darling Lorraine."

PAUL SIMON OCTOBER 24, 2006 (2) Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. Very enjoyable show from Mr. Happy...not. Radio broadcast. As always, a terrific band in tow.

NINA SIMONE. DRURY LANE 1977. I'm no jazzer as you can see by the list of artists I collect - too effete + self reverential for my ears. Nina's got quite a captivating voice - a drea like, almost hypnotic vibe.

SIMPLY RED. THE COLOUR RED. July 8, 1986 (2) Montreaux. Commercial sound quality. Overlooked 80's band that brilliantly combines Jazzy rhythms, funk & blue eyed soul. Mick Hucknell is a top shelf singer. PERIOD!

SIMPLY RED. RED STARS AT NIGHT. 1991. A talented bunch led by a very talented singer. Such a quiet taping, you don't realize the audience is there until the applause after the songs. Mick Hucknall could sing the phone book, man.

FRANK SINATRA & DORIS DAY. YOUNG AT HEART STUDIO SESSIONS. 6 Tunes, nice little set.

FRANK SINATRA. DECEMBER DOWN UNDER. December 2, 1961, Sydney, Australia. Pretty good soundboard of Frank.

FRANK SINATRA. APRIL 28, 1962. Hong Kong. A charity event booted for our pleasure. Elegant evening. Good stuff.

FRANK SINATRA. PALAZZO DEL GHIACCIO. Milano, Italy. May 26, 1962. Acceptable boot, but I found it a tad disappointing.

FRANK SINATRA. ONE THE INSIDE. Volumes 1 + 2 (1966) Various unreleased excerpts. Fly on the wall studio outtakes, starts, stops etc. Neat.

FRANK SINATRA. Unreprised. Various outtakes, clips and studio chat. A weird ecclectic disc.

FRANK SINATRA. RARE RECORDING 1935-1970. Various live takes, mostly from various radio performances. Good fun from ol blue eyes. At times the sound quality a little shaky considering the source.

FRANK SINATRA. THE HUNGRY YEARS. April 1976 Tarrytown Residency Compilation. Commercial Quality, a real beaut.

FRANK SINATRA & DEAN MARTIN. JUNE 10, 1977, Chicago, Illinois. First off, this is a fun, cool disc to own. The rat pack shtick is a true original of its time. With that said, Dino's act is a tired and shameless one. Frank is always best when not improvising, but just Frankly singing.

FRANK SINATRA. February 25, 1995. His very last performance was at some charity thing for 6 songs. The magic is clearly slipping away, but the band sounds nice so it ain't bad all in all. Clean soundboard, you get an obseqious introduction and zero crowd noise.

FRANK SINATRA. FEBRUARY 25, 1995. Final performance. Palm Desert, California. The final 6 tunes - soundboard.
SLASH'S BLUES BASH. April/1997. Disappointing audience taping. No setlist or artwork.

SLY & THE FAMILY STONE. NOVEMBER 9, 1974. Lawrence, Kansas. Sly introduces the show with "I'm so tired of people thinking I'm not gonna show up." Not a bad recording, it's just mixed poorly, the drums sound leaden, the vocals burried etc.

SLY & THE FAMILY STONE. OCTOBER 5, 1968. New York City. Fantastic little gig. Very good sound, just a short performance though.

SMASHING PUMPKINS. SACRED & PROFANE SOUNDBOARD COMPILATION. Kicks off
with "Rock On," nice collection of cuts from a band that just couldn't get to that next level. Setlist only.

ELLIOT SMITH. BLACK CAT (2) April 17, 1998. Washington, DC. He's taken a few too many miserable pills if you ask me. Boot is as clean as a whistle, has a stunning take of Lennon's "Jealous Guy."

THE SMITHS. ROYAL COMMAND PERFORMANCE. December 12, 1986 & the G-Mex
Festival/1986. Nice disc though the sound varies from good to great.

THE SMITHS. THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS. August 26, 1986, Los Angeles, CA. Ahh, swwet
soundboard of one of the all time great bands. Johnny Marr, arguabely, the greatest rock acoustic guitarist (sorry Ray Davies).

PATTI SMITH. LIVE AT CBGB 1979. (2) Glorious double set from a great one. Alanis Morisette
doesn't hold a candle to Patti.

PATTI SMITH. I NEVER TALKED TO BOB DYLAN. Screechy early show, well recorded and downloaded.

PATTI SMITH. PLUGGED & UNPLUGGED. The main show is a complete June 15, 2000 performance in perfect soundboard sound. The second half is acoustic material purported to been taking from the Dylan/Smith Paradise Lost shows - though I'm not so certain. Patti's fantastic and this is a sensational set - A+.

PATTI SMITH. CBGB. October 15, 2006, NYC. Patti closes the legendary club with this show broadcast on Sirious Radio hence saved for you and me. Mp3 sounced, a special even captured in perfect sound though Patti & Lenny complain about the stage monitors it sounds damn fine to these ears. They go deep catalog with this sloppy, ragged and beatiful performance. Flea stopps in for a song or two.

PATTI SMITH. POP MONTREAL. (2) October 7, 2007. This is some kind of poetry/jazz type of show. I couldn't listen to it.

PATTI SMITH. DECEMBER 20, 2007. New York City. I LOVE Patti's voice as much as any other singer that I can think of. She can be overwrought and melodramatic at times, but I must give high marks here. The band sounds great. Great audience interaction. Funny stories. A great cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Love "Redondo Beach." Outstanding.

JILL SOBULE. NASHVILLE 2000. April 11, 2000, Nashville, Tennessee. Hey this girl is darn good. Excellent show, sound & performance etc. This was an opening set for Warren Zevon who comes out for two tunes.

SON VOLT. NOVEMBER 25, 1998. (2) Malmo, Sweden. Superb sound for these alt Country
favorites.

SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY & THE ASBURY JUKES. March 26, 1992 (2) Koln, Germany. Excellent performance and sound quality - these guys get it.

SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY & LITTLE STEVEN. UNPLUGGED. November 21, 1993. Recorded (&Broadcast?) at a New York City radio station. The 2 Jersey boys are having some fun, peforming everything from "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and "Like A Virgin" to "Forever Young" and "Rosalita." Whatever happened to Southside Johnny?

SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY LIVE AT THE STONE PONY. July 3, 2008 (3) The Stone Pony, Asbury Park, New Jersey. It's a decent audience taping of a long, long show. He does the complete "Heart of Stone" album for a Sirius Radio broadcast, but this is not that piece of tape. It's good, but sloppy at times, Southside can still bring it vocally but at times the band doesn't jell and sometimes Johnny jokes fall flat.

SPEARHEAD. LIVE AT PINKPOP FESTIVAL 2001. As much as I like and respect Michael Franti these guys and rap is not a live medium.

SQUEEZE. MARCH 16, 1980. Netherlands. Are they a top five era band (Talking Heads, Clash, Ramones)? I say yes!!! Catchy, snappy tunes performed smartly. Period.

SQUEEZE. MAY 15, 1981. Oxford, UK. Short & sweet. Clever pop on this slick recording. 48 Minutes of clever songwriting.

SQUEEZE. LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL. 9 Songs that could be a record company promo or fan club EP. Perfect sound from these guys.

SQUEEZE. August 2, 2007 (2) New York City. A charming audience tpaing, you do get chat, but the pop comes thru.

SQUEEZE. SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 (2) Los Angeles, California. Chatty taping, but certainly still fun.

THE STANLEY BROTHERS. BROWN COUNTY JAMBOREE. 1965. A smidge of distortion on this high notes, but excellent sounding show otherwise. A treat. Known for their harmonies and their influence on Bob Dylan who has performed 3 of the songs contained on this disc.

HOWARD STERN. September 27, 1985. Last NBC show. Not really much to speak of - no mention that this was their finale, really just a typical sound hour snippet from any show.

CAT STEVENS. JULY 1, 1971. Santa Monica, California. Low grade audience taping -- at times you can barely hear the band. The vocals are clear, somehow the charm and musicality shines thru this lo fi offering.

CAT STEVEN. HOLLYWOOD 1973. November 9, 1973. Hollywood, California. Clean, professional recording. There are a couple of taped interludes that I couldn't figure out. Anyway, sounds like there's a big band backing the man. Good.

CAT STEVENS. HARD HEADED WOMEN. In 1974, the Cat was HUGE!!. Commercial sound quality.

CAT STEVENS. MAY 28, 2009 London, England. Acceptable > good audience taping marred by some chat. Intro by Bono. I'm glad the Cat is doing stuff again, lots of singalongs.

STEPHEN STILLS MAY 11, 2007 (2) Jericho, New York. He may not be able to hit the high notes like he used to, but he is still a wonderful artist + performer. A warm, lively, humorous gig.

STEPHEN STILLS. OCTOBER 8, 2008 (2) Sharp recording & Stills is a fine performer & guitar player. I dig him. The acoustic material was captured a bit better than the electrics.

STING. CHICAGO SESSIONS. Sting's mastery and failing on full display. So precise, so choreographed, so serious. I enjoyed it sometimes and other times want to nuke my cd player like on a grim cover of "Day in the Life" ouch.

THE STOMPERS. GREATEST HITS...LIVE. One of the great little lost bar bands from Boston. They should have gotten national airplay, but radio was too buzy playing Fleetwood Mac and REO Speedwagon.

THE STONE ROSES. WELCOME OF THE RESURRECTION. December 7, 1995. Not sure how to describe the recording quality. Sounds a shade flat, maybe mono, but yet clean as if it was recording from the rafters. That may be a bit harsh, because this is still a real pleasure - either I warmed up to it or just got mesmerized by its musicality. I dunno, but John Squire IS one of the most talented guitarists on the planet.

THE STONE ROSES. STAND STILL. Tokyo, 1989. Recording quality is just not up to the job.

THE STONE ROSES. FIRST COMING. My copy has 20 of the 22 songs listed on the art. Mostly demo's & outtakes with a couple of live ones as well.

THE STRANGLERS. EASTERN FRONT. March 7, 1977. John Peel BBC Radio show. The Doors meet the Sex Pistols.

THE STRANGLERS. NOVEMBER 13, 1980. Berkely, California. Soundboard. Recorded for a radio station, but not broadcast. Superb stuff from the Men in Black.

THE STRANGLERS. ZURICH 1985. April 14, 1985. Superb show - a great band - I just dig 'em. Powerful rock music.

THE STROKES. JULY 5, 2001. Munich, Germany. Radio broadcast. In perfect sound, I've actually seen this on a couple of lists so it must be a popular one. Good stuff, but is this it?

THE STROKES. NOVEMBER 29, 2001. Vanderbilt, Long Island. A Very Good recording of these post-punk inspired/future of rock and roll/next big thing blah blah blah. I dig it all, even their mumbling, expletives between tunes. Love it, but don't know where we go from here.

THE STROKES. JANUARY 24, 2002. Houston, Texas. Nice audience DAT taping of these pretty boys. More good stuff.

JOE STRUMMER & THE MESCALEROS. WOLVERHAMPTON. October 26,1999. Recorded
from what, the bathroom. Does a couple of Clash tunes, though. If you haven't done so, be sure to rent "Let's Rock Again" a great documentary on Joe's last tour 3 years later.

SUBLIME. THE BLACK ALBUM. A collection of live and studio stuff from 1995-1997.
Gone, but not forgotten.

TALKING HEADS. OUTTAKES/DEMOS/ALTERNATES. 14 Nuggests in pristine quality, most dated to the 1977-8 years. Essential material for your inner soul.

TALKING HEADS. STARDUST BALLROOM. September/1979. Touring after their second album, this crystal clear boot is stunning. Making those skinny ties dance, David Bryne is at his growling best.

TALKING HEADS. JABORWOCKY. January 26, 1977. An imperfect sounding college radio broadcast. This is an ealry band gig still getting their footing, but working it hard Finished up with a spot on cover of "Love Is All Around."

TALKING HEADS. MEMORIES CAN'T LAST. August 8, 1979 at the Berklee Performance Center. I think I went to this show. Great sound and performance.

TALKING HEADS. AUGUST 23, 1980. Heatwave Festival. Bowmanville, Ontario. A tasty recording of a band on the ascendent. Tiny wields a mean bass.

TALKING HEADS. REMAIN IN THE NIGHT '81. February 27, 1981. Tokyo. Yeah, a nice recording of the fab four - think its a Japanese radio broadcast.

TALKING HEADS. MONTREUX 1982 (2) Nice recording - you get the Tom Tom Club's brief set than the heads. Such good stuff.

SIR JAMES TAYLOR. THE LECTURES OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY (2) April 25, 1970, Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a mellow show. Soundboard. Very nice Sunday morning type of show.

JAMES TAYLOR. January 25, 1971, Filmore East, New York City. (Early Show) MP3 Version. Apparently these are the solo tunes without band taken from the gig. Man oh man, he's such a sweet and beautiful singer. Does a droll take of "Okie from Muskagee."

JAMES TAYLOR. JANUARY 25, 1971. LATE SHOW. Not as good as the earlier one, a bit on the mellow dull side. Must have smoked some weed between sets.

JAMES TAYLOR. SEPTEMBER 23, 1979 (2) No setlist. Always armed with a crack band, JT has received the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval.

JAMES TAYLOR. HOME MOVIES. (2) May 2, 2006. A mellow show to say the least. Soundboard recording. Don't know the background, but JT shows slides, movies and stuff and then tells stories and sings about it.

SUSAN TEDESCHI. June 30, 2002. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Soundboard quiet. In the spirit of Bonnie Raitt, this chick kicks ass!

THIN LIZZY. 5/11/1980 & BONUS LIVE 75-76. (2) Enjoyable double set of a concert and bonus live & studio (I think) cuts. Underappreciate arean rock band.

DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON. October 13, 1977. Boulder, Colorado. This is one hour Q & A session in front of a college audience. The young and evasive journalist with his adoring crowd. Not a bad recording though some kind of source hisses here and there. One of the two or three truly great journalists of the 2nd half of the 20th century.

RICHARD THOMPSON. CELTSCHMERZ. LIVE UK 98. I think this was a record company promo disc, contains 16 songs from 16 different venues in perfect sound.

RICHARD THOMPSON. LIVE AT THE NARROWS CENTER FOR THE ARTS, Novembe 4, 2006, Fall River, Mass. Damn, I should have known about this gig - killer talent, fun show.

GEORGE THOROGOOD. MARCH 11, 2009 (2) Boston, Massachusetts. Decent recording from a fun musician. Good stuff.

TOKYO BOB DYLAN. December 12, 2002. Perfect sound quality. Jeez what is this? Its a Japanese Bob Dylan impersonator/tribute. Very nice straight, but inspired arrangements, lots of laughter + Mirth - I dig it, man.

PETER TOSH. LIVE AT MY FATHER'S PLACE. March 15, 1979. From a radio broadcast -
outstanding sound quality and performance. He was a great talent taken from us in a bizarre way, super show!

PETER TOSH. LEGALIZE IT SESSIONS. I guess these are 7 outtakes or alt mixes from the mighty Tosh. Not sure what the story is here - supposidely Eric Clapton was in studio or overseeing production or something or so someone claims.

PETER TOSH. EQUAL RIGHTS DEMO. Rough mixes, bass heavy material from this wondrous man.

ALLEN TOUSSAINT. BONNAROO '09. June 13, 2009. Manchester, Tennessee. A bit bass heavy on a couple of the early tracks,but this man is a real national treasure. Terrific vibe and top shelf muscianship.

PETE TOWNSEND. LIVE IN MIDEM. Cannes, France 1986. Quiet radio broadcast finishing with a short interview. Biggest flaw is that the vocals are burried a bit too deep.

TRAVELING WILBURYS. COMPLETE COLLECTIONS. (2) Double disc set of various outtakes.

THE TRAVELING WILBURYS. RECOVERED TREASURE. A basket of outtakes, alternate mixes, stuidio chat, radio commercial - its a Wilbury feast.

TRAVELING WILBURYS. UNSURPASSED MASTERS. I've got just 19 of the 23 tracks listed. I do believe that the best recordings of this band were commerically released.

TRAVELING WILBURYS BBC2 RADIO SPECIAL. Good stuff, I think broadcast in 2007, tells the whole story with interviews with most of the band members and others involved in recording the albums.

THE TRAVELING WILBURYS. THE SECRET TAPES OF LUCKY BOO. Another collection of outtakes etc.

THE TUBES. JUNE 6, 2008 (2) Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fee Waybill - a true American hero. Still doing his whole shticky, stagy thing -- hey it's fun.

IKE & TINA TURNER. RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH OUTTAKES. 8 takes of the mighty classic. Studio chat of Phil Spector? Taken from the Bootleg, See What You Get.

IKE & TINA TURNER REVUE. March 24, 1974. Portland, Maine. It's less than perfect recording but a fund one. A risque evening that's a gas. What can I say I Like Ike. Shoot me, but Tina had a vulnerability in her voice back then that has since become arrogant.

JEFF TWEEDY. FEBRUARY 29, 1999. Chicago, Illinois. (2) Nice solo disc, mellow, acoustic and good. Has 10 bonus tracks from the September/1997 Wilco appearnace on KFOG.

DAN TYMINSKI BAND. JUNE 9, 2001. Allison Kraus' guitar man and the voice of George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou. Soundboard. Terrific.

UB40. LIVE. Very, Very good recording - 10 tunes. Could also be a fan club or record company promo.

UNCLE TUPELO. THE LAST SHOW. MAY 1. 1994. (2) Clean sounding boot from their final show before Tweedy morphed into Wilco.. Excellent sound.

TOWNES VAN ZANDT. April 12, 1989. (2) Tubington, Germany. Quiet, spoken sung singing with the guitar an afterthought to the words and stories from this interspective singer. It's a soundboarder, but I though I hear some source warbling.

TOWNES VAN ZANDT TRIBUTE CONCERT. I think taken from an Austin City Limits. Features: Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Guy Clark, Peter Rown, Nanci Griffith. Wonderful.

VARIOUS ARTISTS. LIVE AT MCCABE'S GUITAR SHOP. May 24, 1987. An informal, sloppy acoustic show that was traded to me as a Natalie Merchant, but features an equal number of performances from Steve Wynn, Michael Stipe, Peter Buck & Kendra Smith. Soundboard.

VARIOUS ARTISTS. BIG BILL'S COCABANA. Chicago May 26, 1963. Quite an impressive list accompanies Muddy Waters: Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Sonny Boy Williamson & Little Walter. Certainly short of magical, but still lotsa good blues.

STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN THE HOUSE IS ROCKIN' November 28 & 29, 1989. From a radio
broadcast, the audience was miked a little too loudly, though that would be quibbling. The master at work.

EDDIE VEDDER. ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES EVENT. March 15, 2002. A fun performance captured pretty well - but even a soundboard taping is a challenge for that understated Eddie mumble ya know. It's Eddie and a Ukelele or electric guitar introducing his personal songs and chatting ammically with the audience. Brings up a kid he met surfing for a song as well. Ed, you're a man of the people.

EDDIE VEDDAR. APRIL 7, 2008. Berkeley, California. Start with a terrific audience taping. Critisism: Eddie is a bit of buzz kill. Positive: It's a balanced, intimate, mature show. He's a gifted singer & interpreter. Highlights: the covers of "Forever Young," "If You Want to Sing out," and "Hide Your Love Away."

SUZANNE VEGA. MAY 18, 1993. Monteux. Superb recording of an underrated artist. Plenty of songs from the 5 star album, 99.9. I know she had a hit or two, but don't feel she's gotten the props she deserves.

VELVET REVOLVER (2) February 21, 2005. Brisbane. Australia. Call me crazy, but it kinds of sounds like Guns & Roses meets the Stone Temple Pilots. Decent audience taping. Highlight: an acoustic "I Used to Love Her."

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. Caught Between the Twisted Stars (4) Career spanning set from the seminal New York Band that critics compare everyone to.

THE VICIOUS WHITE KIDS FEATURING SID VICIIOUS. Famed one off show at the Electric Ballroom in London, before Sid flew to America and murdered his girlfriend. Not sure if this is a boot or an outprint rare one - has a great 30 minute interview tacked one with Glen Matlock and Rat Scabies (of the Damned) who played in the band that night. Nancy Spungen played in the band as well, but they shut her mic off.

VOTE FOR CHANGE (2) October 2, 2004 Cleveland, Ohio. Decent and enjoyable recording of just the Dixie Chicks and James Taylor. Hey, what else do you need? A bit of hollow sounding.

VOTE FOR CHANGE (4) October 11, 2004. Washington, DC. Soundboard recording from the MoveOn.org event for the Kerry Campaign. Fuck, he lost. Anyway you get: Bruce Springsteen, REM, John Mellancamp, James Taylor, Dixie Chicks, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Keb Mo, Jurrassic 5, Babyface, Pearl Jam, and Dave Matthews. Holy shit that's an amazing lineup and a fantastic set. Too many great performances to mention, just about every act brought in a guest for a song or two (Springsteen joining REM For "Man on the Moon." Essential!

THE WAIFS. FEBRUARY 1, 2005. Brisbane, Australia. These girls are my favorite Aussies. This is a nice audience taping. Don't worry I've bought every album with cash money that they have released as they are the best example of independent music. Go Girl!

THE WAIFS. WAVE AID. January 29, 2005. This is 5 or their 7 song set which were broadcast on the radio, the other two I guess were show on Fox TV as well. Great sound, Love.

TOM WAITS. EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS MELODY... 1977. Hamburg, Germany. Some amazing saxophone and the strange, twisted musings from a true original.

TOM WAITS. COLD BEER ON A HOT NIGHT. Australia, March, 1979. What a great & twisted take on the planet. Fantastic show.

TOM WAITS. BONE MACHINE: THE OPERATOR'S MANUAL.

TOM WAITS. AT THE CIRCUS (2). June/1989 in Stockholm.

TOM WAITS. JOCKEY FULL OF BOURBON (2). November 7, 1995. Holland.

TOM WAITS. AKRON 2006. August 13, 2006. Akron, Ohio. There is certainly something that draws me to the guy. I'm not really into it, but dig it you know? Anyway this is flat out an interesting show. Favorite track "Til the Money Runs out."

BURT WARD & THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION. BOY WONDER SESSIONS. Yes, it's that Burt Ward. Yes, it's that Mothers of Invention. Do you want to hear the Teenage Bill of Rights. Wow.

MUDDY WATERS. NOVEMBER 7, 1976 (2) Paris, France. Radio Broadcast. It's the blues, it's Muddy Waters.

MUDDY WATERS. SWEET HOME CHICAGO (2). Terrific live disc especially when a couple of
Rolling Stones stop by.

DOC WATSON. NOVEMBER 9, 1968. Fantastic peformance in commercial sound quality. A sweet, hazy, lazy bluesman.

DOC WATSON. 2007. NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO. Warm & Engaging performance from this 84 year old treasure. Followed by the usual fawning interview with host. Perfect sound quality.

GILLIAN WELCH WITH DAVID RAWLINGS. LIVE ACOUSTIC REVIVAL. An absolutey magnificient soundboarder. Beautiful singing & playing from these two who get it.

GILLIAN WELCH & DAVID RAWLINGS. PREVIVAL-THE REVIVAL DEMOS. Of course, absolutely stunning.

GILLIAN WELCH & DAVID RAWLINGS. WORKING ON A BUILDING (4) This is a generous 4 disc collection of outtakes & live cuts from the double headed artist better known as Gillian Welch.

GILLIAN WELCH & DAVID RAWLINGS. FIDDLER'S NIGHTCLUB. December 4, 2002. Bristol, England. Super spectacular!

GILLIAN WELCH & DAVID RAWLINGS. AUGUST 1, 2009. Newport Folk Festival. Superior recording. I love her and it's all there including a trippy cover of "White Rabbit."

PAUL WELLER. THAT SPIRITUAL FEELING. Outtakes from Wild Wood (One of my 20 favorite all time records) along with a few bonus tracks.

PAUL WELLER. GROOVE A LITTLE. 14 cuts from the October 13, 1992 show in London, the rest from an acoustic radio broadcast. Opens with Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and just doesn't let up. Fabulous.

PAUL WELLER. ROCKPALAST. April 4, 1999. Dusseldorf, Germany. Another great boot from the Changing Man. Good audience taping.

PAUL WELLER. SOLO. May 19, 2001. Terrific disc culled from a BBC radio broadcast (with station IDs), nice mix of songs from a great talent.

WHISKEYTOWN. AUSTIN CITY LIMITS AND MOUNTAIN STAGE. A bit overhyped,
nevertheless, enjoyable new country rebels deliver in outstanding sound quality.

THE WHO. WINDMILL IN AMSTERDAM. September 29, 1969, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Wired off a soundboard this is a radio broadcast that purports to be the first live performance of Tommy. My god, the tunes are so familiar, to me The Who are like an old girlfriend you see at your high school reunion. It's enjoyable, but no wonder you moved on.

THE WHO REMEMBERS THE HIGH NUMBERS. A bit of a dodgy listen - much sounding mono and other stuff just sounding mediocre at best. Still kind of interesting and fits snugly on my shelf.

THE WHO. FILMORE WEST 1969. Must be a soundboarder with Townsend's guitar front and center and the vocals a dash burried in the mix. These are hard rockin Brittish lads!

THE WHO AUGUST 24, 1989 (2) Universal Amphitheater. The first disc is Tommy with various guests - Steven Winwood, ELton, Patti LaBelle, Elton John - a bit overblown if you ask me and the second disc is a rocking Who only disc. Superb sound quality.

WILCO. APRIL 21, 1999. (2) New York City. Clean soundboard boot. These guys sure can swing.

HANK WILLIAMS & THE DRIFTING COWBOYS. RARE RADIO PROGRAMMES. 1949. An
astonishing colllection of radio performances by the original hard living homosapien. Wonderful little intro's for the songs, sound quality is great though there are lots of crackles that just add to its charm.

HANK WILLIAMS. JULY 13, 1952. Some sort of group tour, maybe the Louisiana Hayride? Pretty good sound all things considered. The Hillbilly Shakespeare.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS THE CBS DEMOS + THE SWEET OLD WORLD DEMOS. High quality set of demos from the crazy one. Good stuff.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. SEPTEMBER 26, 1998. Berkely, California. Cracking radio broadcast. Muy fantastico. Playing much of the Car Wheels album and then closing with a mighty take of Change the Locks.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS ACOUSTIC. August 9, 1991 in Santa Monica. Clean soundboard recording of a cool chick with such a sad, expressive voice. Hard to pin her down, a sweet talent.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. CARAVAM OF DREAMS (2) March 13, 2001. She's a chatty one, but with the big, beautiful sad voice she's finally got her recognition. Sound is a bit one dimensional, but not bad.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. ESSENCE TOUR COLLECTION. Unsourced collection of tunes from various performances including a snippet or two of interviews. You get most of the Car Wheels Album as well as Essence along with various covers and other tunes. An immense, "Hard Times". This is a great collection from my dream girl.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. MAY 27, 2003. New York City. Radio broadcast and well recorded. Lucinda is singing great, the band is playing well. Tops!

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. THE UNRELEASED VERSION OF CAR WHEELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD. I don't know it, but there's got to be a story here. Don't know if these were outtakes, demo's or a shelved version, but the sound is certainly commercial. It's more of a country/bluesy feel, a little less rock than the released product. Stupendous.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. JULY 12, 2005 (2) Boston, Massachusetts. A warm and at times stunning audience taping. Some great singing. She proclaimed herself in a good mood and it shows.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. JULY 14, 2005 (2) New York City. Neat show. Elvis Costello drops in for a couple. A little distance in the taping so you have to turn up the volume to catch the full rants. I love her.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. STRAWBERRY MUSIC FESTIVAL 2007. September 1, 2007. Camp Mather, California. Crazy little 4 song set with 3 Lucinda rambling rants in between. She's a little everything -- sexy, crazy, funny, talented and a rambling talker.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS NOVEMBER 4, 2007 (2) A very very good audience taping - marred by occassional low level chat, but really really captures the music well. I just love love love her music live. I didn't really like her last few albums that much, but they somehow work better in concert.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS JULY 19, 2008. Greenfield, Massachusetts. Decent but flawed audience taping. Glad to own this one as I trekked out for this show.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS AND THE BUICK 6. OCTOBER 23, 2008 (2) Excellent recording!! Showcasing her fine recent album, Little Honey.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. NOVEMBER7, 2008 (2) Winnipeg. Good audience recording, stage patter between songs a little difficult to follow because of the wound, but the music shines thru.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS. FEBRUARY 19, 2009 (2) Dallas, Texas. Sensational audience taping. Lucinda was great. Great set. Great show. Great. Great Great.

ROBIN WILLIAMS. OCTOBER 25, 2008. (2) Atlantic City, NJ Hey he's alot of fun and there are some very funny bits in the gig.

AMY WINEHOUSE. FEBRUARY 19, 2007. London. She's got the body of an R. Crumb cartoon and the pipes of Aretha. Fabulous soul sessions. Is she gonna fade out? Wig Out? Freak out? But I dig her. Great cover the Special's Monkey Man.

AMY WINEHOUSE. JUNE 26, 2007. Arendal, Norway. Another way sweet sounding concert from the woman introduced as "Mrs. Amy Winehouse."

AMY WINEHOUSE. ABSOLUTELY LIVE. October 15, 2007. Berlin, Germany. Berlin Radio Broadcast and sounds perfect. A great talent soon to flame out, but while she's here, lets enjoy.

STEVIE WONDER. BERKELEY '73. April 3, 1973. Berkeley, California. Some good stuff and some not so good stuff. Certainly an excellent soundboard reocrding. Just that Stevie rambles musically at times and turns dull. So if he calls, tell him to keep it tight.

STEVIE WONDER. LIVE IN LONDON 1974. Hail Hail Stevie. Starts off with some instrumentals before he takes to the microphone. We're talking the sweet spot of his career in commercial sound quality.

STEVIE WONDER. OCTOBER 4, 1975 (2) Kingston, Jamaica. Bass heavy, somewhat muddy recording. Clearly been washed a couple of times. Noted for a guest appearance by none other than Bob Marley. How cool! For "I Shot the Sherriff" and "Superstition." A great setlist, I just wish it was a better recording.

STEVIE WONDER. November 9, 2005.(2) Abbey Road Studious, London. BBC Radio Broadcast. Tops shelf all around. He's in a warm and generous mood. Love it!

STEVIE WONDER. OCTOBER 25, 2007 (2) Montreal, Canada. A very nice taping of a reenergized Wonder. Few compete in his league. An excellent performer and musician. Terrific audience participatin during "Ribbon in the Sun." An amazing vocal on "Michelle."

STEVIE WONDER. JULY 8, 2008 (2) Concord, California. Yes, a very enjoyable audience taping - you do get some audience chat. Terrifically warm show, filled with joy!

THE COMPLETE BOOTLEG WOODSTOCK (12) Somewhat of an amazing collection - quite messy and disjointed and still missing a few songs and performances - but every self respecting rock snob should own it. You gotta sit through alot of shit, but worth it for the stage announcements and musical gold.

XTC. JANUARY 30, 1980. Boston. WBCN Radio broadcast. I frickin loved that first American Album, Drums & Wires, which was much the center of this set. I guess stage freight or something made this the last tour or nearly the last tour. Hey, New Wave is fun.
WIERD AL YANCOVIC. JUNE 7, 2007. Corpus Christi, Texas. (2) A clever live performance. A mix of songs and video certainly quite entertaining for the concert goers, but a little long for the bootleg listener. Still he's a funny guy and some hysterical stuff.

THE YARDBIRDS. ANDERSON THEATRE. NYC. MARCH 30, 1968. This is the Page led version, jamming away right near the demise of this band.

YO LA TENGO. NOVEMBER 23, 1988. (2) Chicago. Clean boot of a band that sounds like a cross between the Violent Femmes and the Velvet Underground.

DWIGHT YOAKAM. AUGUST 28, 1986. Nice radio broadcast. Dwight is cool.

NEIL YOUNG. ROCK 'N' ROLL COWBOY. (4). This is an ESSENTIAL career spanning set
compiled with care and precision. Further proof if you ever needed it that bootleggers take more care of the music that the five ugly sisters (Record Companies).

NEIL YOUNG. FEBRUARY 25, 1970. Cincinatti, Ohio. This is a young Young, goofy, chatty, playing songs and telling stories. Lots of very good stuff.

NEIL YOUNG. LAST ALBUM (2) Contains songs from 3 performances from 1973 with guests Mr. Crosby and Mr. Nash. Sound qualities varies but the performance shines thru.

NEIL YOUNG. CITIZEN KANE JUNIOR BLUES. May 16, 1974, New York City. This is Neil along at the might Bottom Line Club singing, plunking and chatting away. Crisp sound.

NEIL YOUNG. JANUARY 29, 1973. Norfolk, Virginia. Nice sounding half disc of Neil along. When the band comes out for hte 2nd half the sound quality seems to suffer and get tinny.

NEIL YOUNG. ACOUSTIC TALES. Lots of unplugged Neil tunes from 1976. Cool.

NEIL YOUNG. POWERFINGER PARTS 1 & 2. October 17, 1986. Minneapolis. Not sure how to describe the tpaing - its good, but noisy. While you know it's a boot it still has some clarity - maybe digitally cleaned up? Anyway, some good stuff from Neil.

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE. 1987 EUROPEAN GARAGE TOUR (3) Collection from the rockin' tour in good to very good sound. Some outrageous nuggets with discussion snippets along with great music presented.

NEIL YOUNG. CHROME DREAMS (RUST EDITION) 6 Tracks - outtakes or demo's or somethng - they all sound real good. Incomplete art and source info.

NEIL YOUNG. FEBRUARY 12, 1991. Hartford, Connecticut. Decent audience taping - a bit cavernous - but a solid rockin' show with a "Blowin in the wind" cover. It's all good!

NEIL YOUNG. SMELL THE HORSE TOUR 1991. This is the a collection of tour highlights. Good sound though it varied, at times I wish it was a little better. This - real good - these boyz rock hard!!

NEIL YOUNG + PEARL JAM. JUNE 25, 1995, San Francisco, California. The boot mostly consists of the famed show where Eddie Veddar was ill and Neil subbed in for the gig. There are some additional uncredited bonus tracks. The jams were a little too long for me, but still quite a neat show for my shelves.

NEIL YOUNG. MARCH 20, 1999. (2) Perfect sound quality on this sensational show. Neil is a jolly mood, telling stories, making jokes and performing on all cylinders.

NEIL YOUNG. JUNE 14, 1999. A mind blower, Neil again acoustic at Jones Beach, just sizzling. Springsteen comes out for the closer. A masterpiece.

NEIL YOUNG. BRIDGE SCHOOL 1999. (2). October 30 & 31, 1999. Two sweet sounding discs of Neil. I made some cover art that looks pretty cool for it.

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE. THE COMPLEX SESSIONS & MORE. Just an earth shattering performance from the godfather of grunge. The tracks are apparently live video versions from the Sleep With Angels session. Yee Ha!

NEIL YOUNG. FARM AID COMPILATION. No setlist or source info available. This is a collection of various Neil performances over the year. Sound quality varies from excellent to sucky.

NEIL YOUNG. SCENES FROM GREENDALE. July 1, 2003. Mansfield, Massachusetts. Noone seemed to have dug the Greendale thing and I can see why - just so fuckin' boring. Does haul out some old nuggets for the encore.

NEIL YOUNG LIVING WITH WAR LIVE. A compendium of the album with "best" versions taken from different concerts in July of 2006. The album and boot live snugly on my shelf, nice but neither is essential.

NEIL YOUNG. FARM AID 2007. September 9, 2007, Randall's Island, New York. A warm & preachy show - lots of fun with a relaxed and plucky Neil at the controls.

NEIL YOUNG. CHROME DREAMS II TOUR. Boise, Idaho. (2) October 18, 2007. Excellent set. First disc is acoustic, 2nd electric. Fantastic recording!

NEIL YOUNG. FEBRUARY 20, 2008. (2) Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The good news, a very well recording audience recording. The Bad news, a little dull at times. Show starts with Neil solo at guitar and piano before the band joins in. Don't get me wrong the man still has it. I particularly liked "Free World" at the end.

NEIL YOUNG. SEPTEMBER 20, 2008. FARM AID. Terrific little set, sweet sound.

WARREN ZEVON & JACKSON BROWNE. THE OFFENDER MEETS THE PRETENDER. December 8, 1976. This is an in studio performance/interview from a Danish radio station. Lots of fun and some good stuff.

WARREN ZEVON. NOVEMBER 29, 1987 (2) Anaheim. The werewolf goes synth. Frankly have heard Mr Z with a better band, that's not to say there isn't some great performance here: "Veracruz" and "Carmelita" are simply staggering.

WARRNE ZEVON. FEBRUARY 26, 1988. Dublin, Ireland. A stiff audience taping, a nice run thru of 18 of our favorite songs.

WARREN ZEVON. LONDON SOUNDBOARD '88. Eight terrific sounding tunes.

WARREN ZEVON. COPENHAGEN '88. Uncertain on the date though 11/2/88 was given as a possibility from the trader. Regardless, 8 songs with some differences from above in stellar sound.

WARREN ZEVON. THE ELECTRIC WEREWOLF STRIKES AGAIN. February 27, 1990. Minneapolis, Minnesota. A sweet nite well recorded and performed.

WARREN ZEVON. JANUARY 16, 1996 (2) Colorado Springs, Colorado. Fantastic show once again from Mr. Bad Example.

WARREN ZEVON. BLUEBIRD. OCTOBER 19, 1996. Denver, Colorado. Warren mostly alone at the Paino & at guitar. Great. Great. Did I say Great. We even get Dylan's "Ring Them Bells."

WARREN ZEVON. FEBRUARY 6, 1999. (2) Irving Plaza, NYC. Great show put on by Warren, does all the hits and then some. Good audience taping. Fun.

WARREN ZEVON. MY SHIRT'S FUCKED UP. '99-'00 Tour Compilation. Delightful set, man. Unfortunately not source info for each track though the first half is from a solo show - sound like (literally) David Letterman on background vocals on the final take of "Hit Somebody."

WARREN ZEVON. BBC INTERVIEW. May 26, 2000. With Andy Kershaw of course. Nice radio interview with performances.

JOHN ZORN'S BAR KOKHBA. JULY 25, 1999. Not my cup of tea - a mix of jazz and classical music. Yawn.
