THE B-52s. AUGUST 24, 1979. Boston, Massachusetts , bonus tracks from Toad's Place in New Haven. The first part is the opening set for the Talking Heads at Berklee Performance center broadcast on the radio. Holy shit, I was there for that show. Great fun. The bonus tracks are unlistenable, but who the heck caress

BEASTIE BOYS. MAY 22, 1992 (2) Tradewinds. Seabright, New Jersey. This is the boys at the peak - IMO - terrific sound and great varied show. This is simply alot of fun.

CHUCK BERRY.  FACE AU PUBLIC.  FEBRUARY 6, 1965, Belgium.  7 Tracks from the legend.  Soundboard.  

BJORK. AUGUST 30, 1990. Reykjavik, Iceland. Early solo stuff, post Sugar Cubes in sound board. Various standards both Western and Icelandian.

BJORK. SUGAR CANDY KISSES. September 8, 1993. Soundboard boot from Denmark. Always thought she looked like a smurf...an outrageous looking smurf.

BJORK. JUNE 23, 2003. Berlin, Germany. Soundboard. I listened to this with my youngest as she is one of his favorites. A bit same sounding, but she is an interesting talent.

JAMES BROWN. APRIL 7, 1968. Boston, Massachusetts. This is the famed concert put after the day after Martin Luther King was assassinated and televised to avoid rioting in the city and including speeches from then Mayor Kevin White among others. Not the best recording and uncertain of the source - I believe this has been commercially released in video format so perhaps sourced off of that, but lower level quality so I tend to doubt that.

JAMES BROWN. NEWPORT FOLK FESTIVAL. July 6, 1969, Newport, Rhode Island. Super soundboard. Loads of fun.

JAMES BROWN & THE JB'S. AN AVALANCHE OF FUNK (2) September 1973. Switzerland. Soundboard. Whoa. Great stuff, here the first half or so features the band doing various soul and funk covers and then James enters the scene to funk it out. This is the price era JBs with Marceo, Fred, Lynn etc. Precious.

THE BYRDS AND THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS. WHISKEY A GO-GO. September 19, 1970. Los Angeles. This is a special one with the Graham Parsons listed as a member of the Byrds on the liner notes. Generous soundboard with terrific performances and both bands on stage together ripping it up. A classic bootleg. Amazing.DAVID BRYNE.  MAY 3, 1992.  Hamburg, Germany.   12 Unplugged tunes, pretty slick. 

JIM CARROLL DECEMBER 21, 1980 (late show). Boston, Massachusetts. WBCN Radio broadcast. Added to my collection over 30 years after I attended. I've always remembered this show both for the bizarre joke he in the middle of the show and the intensity of the music. Man, this show sounds fantastic - what a powerful rock and roll performance. Superb.

THE CLASH. D.O.A. (2) That's Demos, Outakes, Alternates. Sensational, essential collection of stuff - so many nuggets contained, but a strong case can be made for this outfit in the annals of rock and roll history. The chorus of "1977" - "No Elvis, No Beatles, No Rolling Stones" followed by a couple of demos of "Heartbreak Hotel." Come on, man that is a classic compiler's joke. I get it, do you

DEVO. JULY 17, 1980. Boston. WBCN Radio broadcast. Holy shit, I was at this show, way up in the balcony boiling. Lots of fun, man

STEVE EARLE. THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW TALK SHOW PROMO. Handed to me when I attended a show in March of 2005. It's a half hour excerpt from his radio show in Mono?? featured Jonathan Demme chatting and bringing in a couple of records to play. Thought I'd throw it on my list.

THE FACES. IN CONCERT 1973. (2) February 8, 1973 & April 1, 1973, London. Hey man, these skinny Brits are the real deal. Coulda Shoulda been the Stones, but alas this was not their fate. These are imperfect radio broadcasts capturing the 5 between pubs. If you don't like it, you can't be my friend.

JACKIE GREENE. MARCH 1, 2014. The Troubadour, Los Angeles, California. Sourced as a converted Youtube file. I caught this show as I wanted to go to visit the famed club on business trip. Lo and behold, I saw a great musician and bought his catalog of CDs too. He's the real deal, blues based rock with a love of Dylan, the Beatles and the Dead.

GUN'S 'N ROSES. SESSIONS (2) Superb collection of outakes, alt versions etc. You get an an all piano of "November Rain," a couple of takes of "Jumpin Jack Flash" among it's gems. This is really good.

GUNS 'N ROSES. JUNE 28, 1987. Marque Club, London. This is a pro soundboard recording, announced by Axel as being recorded by the record company. Third night before they broke out and it is incendiary.

GUNS 'N ROSES. NOVEMBER RAIN AT THE TOKYO DOME (2) February 22, 1992. I popped this into my iPod having not listened to this band too much recently. You can't help but realize that this was truly an extraordinary band who had an opportunity to rewrite the record book. They didn't. They imploded. They blew it. But man oh man, they were special. Incredible rock song writing. Great musicianship. Great arrangements. They had it all and when they had it all, they were incredible. This is the audio feed of a Japan only release and it sounds fantastic. The only other thing I can say is: essential.

GUNS 'N ROSES. SAY YOUR PRAYERS (2) June 6, 1992, Paris, France.  Per Per View. If you need any evidence that these guys COULD have been one of the greatest band EVER this is it. Musically ambitious. Axl's snarling vocals and toxic charisma. Slash. This is a great show with guests: Lenny Kravitz, Steven Tyler & Joe Perry. Superb.

GUNS N' ROSES. NIGHT OF THE LIVID RED HEAD. (2) December 5, 1992, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Stunning soundboard. With Axl stopping the show twice, calling for an interpreter and threatening to walk if people don't stop throwing stuff, this is a show on knife's edge. An amazing rock and roll document, if you need proof - which you shouldn't - of these Cali misfits brilliance and scale this is it. A show filled with intensity and magic.

JERRY HARRISON & ADRIAN BELOW.  February 28, 2023 (2). Buffalo, New York.  Decent audience recording.  Why didn't I go to this tour.  (Filed under Talking Heads)

BUDDY HOLLY. THE COMPLETE BUDDY HOLLY (10). It's an exhaustive collection of all sorts of stuff. Not sure it's complete, but it's got a ton of stuff including tunes that Buddy played guitar on, etc. Cool!

BUDDY HOLLY. THE FAMOUS BUDDY HOLLY APARTMENT TAPES. Stunning. Sort of like Buddy unplugged in his NYC apartment just laying down some tunes. It's pure audio gold. All music until near the end of the apartment stuff with a little wierd and playful chat with his wife. And then there are some unsourced bonus tracks tacked on (radio performances & other material backed with a band).

BUDDY HOLLY WHAT YOU'VE BEEN A-MISSING (4) A massive - over 120 tracks - collective of interviews, outtakes, promo's, news stories, demo's etc. The final disc - least essential - consists of Buddy's session work, atleast I think. Amazing stuff from the hero of authenticity. No artwork, but I did finally get source information.

BUDDY HOLLY IN PERSON A terrific patchwork collection of stuff; Ed Sullivan Show, interviews, outtakes etc.

BUDDY HOLLY. BUDDY'S RAREST. A plethora of studio material with multiple takes from various backing bands: The Crickets, Three Tunes & The Picks.

BUDDY HOLLY. SOMETHING ELSE. No setlist or source info. Signficant overlap with some of the bootlets listed here with interviews and performances.

BUDDY HOLLY. RECORDED LIVE. More unsourced material with the usual mix of live, studio etc. Anyone have artwork for these last two?

MICHAEL JACKSON.  LIVE IN LOS ANGELES (2)  January 27, 1989, Los Angeles, California.  Truly a great concert - even Sheryl Crow is singing background - forgotten with all the nonsense is the wondrous music. 

DAVID JOHANSEN. MAY 27, 1978. Boston, Mass. WBCN Broadcast. I wasn't there that night but most others when he was in town.

GEORGE JONES AND THE JONES BOYS. RADIO JAMBOREE 1963. Sounds like some kind of radio show with various Hank Williams songs among others performed - 23 tunes in total. Perfect sound

THE KINKS. THE SONGS WE SANG FOR AUNTIE (3) Career spanning collections of outtakes, alt stuff, radio appearances, concerts etc. Brilliantly compiled.

MARK KNOPFLER. JULY 1, 2005 (2) Fleet Pavillion, Boston, MA. Hot damn, I was at this show, downloading 14+ years after the event. Great show in soundboard.

LED ZEPPELN. LIVE AT SOUTHHAMPTON UNIVERSITY (2) January 22, 1973. Damn good sounding boot. But my god, do they get experimental. Yikes. Guys. Still to the fucking songs. They are great, you know. By the way, I might have misordered this as it was downloaded.

THE COMPLETE LIVE AID CONCERT (15) July 13, 1985. Here it is the global jukebox, the entire enchalada everything.

MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR JOBS AND FREEDOM. August 28, 1963. This is the various musical performances at this legendary March best remembered for Martin Luther King's "I Had a Dream" speech. My parents took the bus, something I will always admire in both of them. This was a controversial event - if you think there is disfunction and conflict today, you cannot imagine the stakes back then - something conveniently forgot today. We must always remember!

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. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON (2) Collection of various live performances from the early 70s. Amazing stuff from one of my heroes

THE METERS FEATURING J.B. HORNS. DECEMBER 1, 1991 (2) Aarsburg, Switzerland. Soundboard recording - in fact the band announces to the crowd that it is being taped. This is a funky good time, you get Fred Wesley & Maceo among others. Lots of inspired, amazing musi

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. MAY 15, 1994 (2) + MAY 23, 1994. Boulder Colorado & Pinkpop Festival, Netherlands. Great show and just thrilled to the gig. Soundboarders all.

MORPHINE. JULY 2, 1994, Paris, France. Soundboard. What a surprise that Mark Sandman can speak a little french. Great little show.

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.

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.

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

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. 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
