― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

.. and did the recorded version live up to the real thing?

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:07 (twenty-one years ago)

i think this has happened to me once. it was at a 'tumi and the volumes' show (the s. african version of the roots, basically)(with some extra white people). i've never heard the recording though.

Jeff Buckley "Live at Sin-e". I know he doesn't get much love on ILM but when he played Monday nights at Sin-e in the summer of '93, well, those were good times.

AMM - "Tunes Without Measure or End"

Recorded at McLellan Galleries, Glasgow, 4th May 2000. This was even better than I remember it being at the time tho their free gig at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow was even better than that.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Derek Bailey & Milo Fine - Scale Points On the Fever Curve (recorded at Ryans, Stoke Nweington, March 26th 2003).

Julio was at this one too, tho not in my company, I imagine he's got the CD of it

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been to a few: Husker Du's farewell tour, Newport Folk Fest '88, NRBQ, Mekons.

Oh yeah, and Pearl Jam doesn't count!

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:24 (twenty-one years ago)

The Damned - Live At Shepperton
The Damned - Mindless Directionless Energy (aka Live At The Lyceum)
The Damned - Final Damnation (album and video)
The Damned - Tiki Nightmare (DVD)
(I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before, but I'm rather fond of The Damned!)

Buzzcocks - Entertaining Friends
Buzzcocks - Live At Shepherds Bush Empire (DVD)

Monochrome Set - Fin

Theatre Of Hate - Love Is A Ghost (in fact the review I wrote of the gig in the fanzine me and my mate used to produce, is quoted in the sleevenotes!)

That's all I can think of off hand.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:59 (twenty-one years ago)

The Residents - Cube E, Live in Holland. I've been to the Amsterdam show that the liner notes state the album was recorded at, but do believe most of the material used on the disc comes from a show in Spain. That could explain the poor quality of the disc, while the performance in Holland was superb.

― Roger in Mokum (Roger T), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Arab Strap - The Cunted Circus

You can actually hear me during the final track - I'm the one that shouts for "Especially For You", and gets the first line out of Aidan.

Didn't even know this recording existed until 10 minutes ago! But yeah, I was there, Toronto Jazz Festival, June 1992. I know of no other recordings I witnessed but anything's possible.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

songs ohia "mi sei apparso come un fantasma"

― giulio from genova, Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I think every Impov gig I've been to in London in the last 3 years has been some recorded - the same guy (I assume it's Tim Fletcher) is always at the front with his recording gear set up.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, and Pearl Jam doesn't count!

Damn, now I can't play.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at the concert in Central Park that Simon & Garfunkel played back in the...was it the very early 80's? I remember leaving early.

I was in attendance at a few of the shows Cursed with Insincerity by the Wonder Stuff was compiled from (live at the Forum in Kentish Town. London, December 2000).

Not sure if this counts, but I was in attendance at the video shoot for "You Could be Mine" by Guns'n'Roses (at the New Ritz on 54th street...formerlly Studio 54).

I believe there's a quasi-legit recording of one of the Dead Boys' annual Christmas reunion shows at the Old Ritz I attended (y'know, before Stiv became an actual Deads Boy).

I have lots of bootlegs of live shows I was at, mostly Devo and Killing Joke, tho'.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Revolting Cocks - You Goddamned Son of a Bitch at Cabaret Metro in 1987.

― frankE (frankE), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:23 (twenty-one years ago)

"I have lots of bootlegs of live shows I was at, mostly Devo and Killing Joke, tho'."

There are a couple of quite famous 'Joke bootlegs from early gigs I was at. There's one where Honey Bane joined them for a song...?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at the Shellac show at ATP 2002 that was recorded and broadcast on radio 1. Does that count?

It's awesome except there's one guy, the same guy, who cheers when her recognises *every* song. There's about 2 bars of sing and then he goes yaaaaaay in a boring drawl. cock.

― hmmm (hmmm), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at the filming of the Rollins Band's "Tearing" video, at the Ritz Theater in Elizabeth, NJ. Between takes the band played "Black Sabbath" and "Kashmir." Henry's got some upper vocal range; he just never uses it.

I was also at the Jane's Addiction shows at the Hollywood Palladium that wound up in the movie Gift and on the Live & Rare CD. I remember Perry heckling the guy who threw a Birkenstock at him.

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:35 (twenty-one years ago)

My father: Beefheart Live at My Father's Place, '78

― Rubberband Man (Rubberband Man), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

My brother was there for the Kinks' "One for the Road," recorded at the horrid Providence Civic Center (now the Dunkin' Donuts Center) in 1979 or 1980.

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000059MQL.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
God, I just learned that the Kinks show is on DVD as well. If my brother was still alive I'd buy it for him.

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, now I have to go out and buy it because apparently there's plenty of crowd footage.

― Jazzbo (jmcgaw), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

>Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside

ha ! , my band was also on the bill for that one....a good night ! (unless yr Ned)

― Brad Laner (Brad Laner), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Brad, I will say this -- our bunch came late to that particular show and missed you guys except for the final minute, so I cannot say anything about it. ;-)

So indeed, what Elvis T. just said -- also, we were both at the Pelt Terrastock 2 show that appears on Empty Bell Ringing in the Sky, along with at least four other ILXors. Similarly a small crop of us were at the Windy and Carl/Lothars Terrastock 4 show that appeared on their joint live album.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Brad vs. Ned: Grudge Match! Right now!

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not going to grudge match anything, Brad knows I'm a total Electric Company freak! Or try to be. ;-)

Meantime, I would kill for official live albums to be released for these shows I've attended:

MBV, final show ever (it seems)
Marc Almond, Anaheim 1999
Mr. Bungle/Melvins, Anaheim 1992 (but that would actually have to be a DVD)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

phew ! : ) (x-post)

― Brad Laner (Brad Laner), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, you guys know I'm having a hard week. You could have gratified my libido jollies just once... ;-)

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

The other great thing I remember about that Spz etc. show -- it was the American version of Rollercoaster, the Jesus and Mary Chain's minialooza, and Melody Maker sponsored it, so there were copies of a sample issue EVERYWHERE in the Palladium. But it might have had a much better impact had not the issue in question featured Mega City Four as the cover, with an astoundingly ugly picture of lead singer Wiz sticking his tongue out.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Man, you guys know I'm having a hard week. You could have gratified my libido jollies just once... ;-)

! I WILL NOT ACT FOR YOUR PLEASURE. Oh wait a minute, this feeling is kinda fun! But Brad might protest as well as his wife. (Er, I'm perhaps stupidly assuming you're still married to Nydia, Brad?)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

The only one I can think of here is "Their Law" on the B-side of "Breathe" by the Prodigy! Recorded at Phoenix festival '96.

"Security! I wanna see you banging your fuckin' heads!"

― poopy pants, Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

we landed our spot in "the crow" that night. good times !

yup Nydia and I are still hitched. Just had a kid !...head to my website/blog for obligatory adorable photos !

― Brad Laner (Brad Laner), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:21 (twenty-one years ago)

The Fall - 2G + 2
The Fall - Touch Sensitive Bootleg Box
(went to the NYC shows, actually bought the cds)
YAY

― sexyDancer, Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:23 (twenty-one years ago)

we landed our spot in "the crow" that night. good times !

Is that what caused it? Interesting! I wonder what show Thrill Kill did to get theirs.

yup Nydia and I are still hitched. Just had a kid !...head to my website/blog for obligatory adorable photos !

Aw, marvelous! Well I doubt she remembers me at all, but I do recall her because of all the college media reps I dealt with she by far had the coolest name. :-) And of course I remember the night of Jason Pierce, the Italian place and the Arista rep.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Your baby is, indeed, very, very adorable, Brad. :-)

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Thursday, 12 August 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

ain't he though ?

― Brad Laner (Brad Laner), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Nydia remembers you Ned. Indeed Jason was Nydia's responsiibility that week. good preparation for future dealings with babies !

― Brad Laner (Brad Laner), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

ummm.

The Jam: Dig the new Breed (at least the bits recorded in Chicago)
Big Black: The Sound of Impact (at least the bits recorded in Muncie)
Dream Syndicate: That live EP thing recorded in Chicago
That Jeff Buckley live thing that came out on CD and DVD (at the Metro in Chicago)

I think that's it.

― kwhitehead (stephen schmidt), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Hahaha! Jason did seem...well, colicky. Anyway, do tell her hi from me. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Meow!

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Weirdly, the Moldy Peaches live show on the Moldy Peaches 2000 double disc set, from the Mercury Lounge. Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the opening band and the Moldy Peaches did a choreographed routine to "I Want to be a Hulkamaniac" to open the show, which is included on the CD.

― Softly Weeping at the Oki Dog (Ben Boyer), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I may have been at the Fall gig where the live portion of Ibis-Afro Man on Are You Are Missing Winner was recorded, but I really can't be sure. Main reason is that someone says "good evening London, you lucky lucky people!" and the only record of them playing that song in London is at that gig I was at (Mean Fiddler, April 2001).

If it's the same, listening to the recording is actually a better exerience than being at the gig was — only time I've ever seen them, and I was shocked by how out of it MES seemed.

― Jesse Lawson (eatandoph), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Lightning Bolt: Power of Salad
Comets on Fire/Major Stars: Live at Europa

― ddb (ddb), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

iggy "heroin hates you" boot, germs "lion's share" boot.

― dan (dan), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan, every time I learn more about your musical past I'm more amazed and impressed!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

the live brian wilson pet sounds album

the belle and sebastian Bowlie Weekender set on "For Fans Only"; including the busking set outside (i must have been standing right beside the cameraman, because i'm not on the crowd footage.)

*although my friends & i were photographed & printed in mojo playing crazy golf at the first ATP*

nancy sinatra live in edinburgh (BBC 4 TV)

a few others, but i'd have to really rack my brain...

come to think of it, more TV ones than actual records..

― officer pupp, Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a Slint bootleg floating around from their show in New Brunswick, NJ. I was at that.

― mike a, Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

i was around for the new wu-tang dvd thats coming out in a couple momfs.. ill be picking that one up because i could hardly see/hear anything.

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

The Dead shows I attended will probably show up eventually as Dick's Picks 590 (the particular tour I saw is universally reviled).

― Mark (MarkR), Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

the very first rock show I ever attended (Mudhoney/Sonic Youth/Gumball at UC Irvine) was recorded and partially released as b-sides for Sonic Youth's "Dirty Boots" single. Great show, made good b-sides. It's like a commemorative souvenir for me.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Big Black - Pigpile
Swans - Swans Are Dead (I think)
Merzbow - Noizhead
Charles Gayle - Live At Disobey
Venom - Seventh Date Of Hell video, admittedly not an album though
probably some dodgy neo-prog nonsense from the 1980's too, I'm too ashamed to try and find out what.

― udu wudu (udu wudu), Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait a minute, you went to UCI? Or you just saw the show here?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I just saw the show there, I wasn't in college at the time (I was 17). I'm from the fabled home of Shrimper Records and Rollie Fingers, aka Upland CA.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Derek Bailey & Milo Fine - Scale Points On the Fever Curve (recorded at Ryans, Stoke Nweington, March 26th 2003).
Julio was at this one too, tho not in my company, I imagine he's got the CD of it
-- Dadaismus (kcoyne3...), August 12th, 2004. (later)

I don't actually. And yes- Tim is the only guy i've ever seen doing any recording. derek is playing at 291 gallery on the 17th btw, I'll prob be there:

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 12 August 2004 20:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at this two day NYC thing in 1983 w/Sonic Youth, the Fall and the pre-punk Beasties that came out on Homestead a couple of years later, I think the LP was called Live at the Speed Trials.
A friend of mine was at Woodstock and actually remembers it (he doesn't take drugs). It's not on an album, but a couple of my boyhood buddies went to the infamous televised 1970 Cincinnati Pop festival where Iggy walked on hands, threw peanut butter around, etc. Unfortunately they were like 15 years old and drunk on whiskey for the first time so they were so busy puking they don't remember ANYTHING. I was at home watching on TV cause I was only 12.

― luvbug mc, Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:14 (twenty-one years ago)

the pre-punk Beasties

You mean pre-Hip Hop, right?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

oops! Pre-hiphop Beasties indeed. The pre-punk Beasties would've been in grade school, I guess.

― luvbug mc, Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark, which year was the "universally reviled" year of Dead touring?

― Softly Weeping at the Oki Dog (Ben Boyer), Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

GBV, Crying Your Knife Away

― J (Jay), Thursday, 12 August 2004 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

! So he really was that drunk, I assume.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark, which year was the "universally reviled" year of Dead touring?

1992. Jerry's voice sounded terrible, I guess his heroin problem was at its peak. The bits I've read about spring of that year from people who know the Dead rank it as a low point.

― Mark (MarkR), Thursday, 12 August 2004 23:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I just remembered (and I'm still not entirely sure I shouLd actually mention this, but here goes): Level 42 - A Physical Presence (only the bits recorded at Reading. Can't understand why they didn't include Kouyate on the album 'cos it was the highlight of the evening as far as I was concerned)

" My father: Beefheart Live at My Father's Place, '78"

Rubberband Man, I know a couple of people who were at that gig - your father isn't on The Fire Party (Captain Beefhert list) by any chance, is he?

If he is, who is he? If he isn't, why isn't he?!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 13 August 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

i was at the show where DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist & Numark performed that last track on the Private Press. the live sampler show or whatever.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 13 August 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm still waiting for my copy of this...

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 13 August 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Jesus Lizard - Show
not as good as the real thing...

― Russ (Russ), Friday, 13 August 2004 20:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at one of the shows which was used on the live Dead Voices on Air album.
That was one of the longest shows I've seen -- it was a shared bill with Not Breathing and it went on for about four hours.
And I believe that's all -- unless you count the bootleg recordings of shows I've attended (there are lots of those, I even started an ILM thread on the subject).

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 13 August 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

The very first rock show I ever attended (Mudhoney/Sonic Youth/Gumball at UC Irvine) was recorded and partially released as b-sides for Sonic Youth's "Dirty Boots" single. Great show, made good b-sides. It's like a commemorative souvenir for me.

Ha, I was at that show too, but I never bothered with the single. I'll have to look for it. If memory serves, the last song was a humongo blow out cover of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" with everyone on stage.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 13 August 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at the Dj Shadow/Cut Chemist show (with special appearnce by Steinski) captured on that Ultimate Lessons disc. It loses a little bit without the visuals of Shadow and CC madly scrambling to get the next 45 cued up to the right place while Steinski just takes it all in, hitting a sampler button every so often and marveling as the DJs recreate with vinyl what hd did by splicing tape together back in the day.

I was also at the Rahzel show featured on the live parts of Make The Music 2000 - including that awesome Aaliyah cover.

I can't rememebr right now, but if there were any songs from the Oakland show on Prince's One Night Alone boxed set, I was there, too.

― Randy Reiss (undeadsinatra), Friday, 13 August 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I was at the Z-Trip/Radar show that became Future Primitive Vol. 2, also The DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist show done the night after they cut Brainfreeze (which was a warm-up for the 45 show the next night.)

― Mark (MarkR), Saturday, 14 August 2004 01:07 (twenty-one years ago)

the big star show in missouri in '93. cd doesn't live up to the performance--they cut out "duke of earl" encore!

― eddie hurt (ddduncan), Saturday, 14 August 2004 01:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I was at both of the November 1997 Jason and the Scorchers shows at the Exit/In in Nashville that became the "Midnight Roads and Stages Seen" CD and DVD. I made a brief appearance on one of the DVD's crowd shots.
