Public Image Limited, Provinnssi Rock Festival, Finland, 6th June 1992

This soundboard recording, often known as 'Rotten To The Core' is from 1992, when PiL were promoting their last album to date 'That What Is Not.' It's not clear whether this is the whole set. John Lydon disbanded the group in 1993 when Virgin records refused to pay for the tour supporting the album, leaving Lydon to pay for it himself. Lydon has recently put together an incarnation of Public Image Limited for a few dates, and this show is presented to mark those gigs.

Them Crooked Vultures, Palladium, Cologne, Germany, 8th December 2009

2009's biggest supergroup (Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones) captured live for German TV, playing the whole of their debut album (many of the songs in greatly-extended form), plus non-album track 'Highway One.' It's all closer to 'Songs For the Deaf'-era QOTSA than the Foos or Led Zep, but that's no bad thing. Perfect sound quality, too.

The Darkness, Lowlands Festival, Holland, August 2004

Superb FM radio broadcast. The three-day Lowlands Festival was held over the 20th-22nd of August that year: I don't know which day The Darkness played, but from the on-stage comments, they seem to be in a tent, presumably the second stage, quite possibly as headliners as they were at their commercial peak at this point.

The Jam, Reading Festival, Reading, UK, 25th August 1978

Average-sounding recording, almost certainly taken from a radio broadcast (though the source of that is unknown). There's a lot of tape-hiss, but it's worth hearing for historical interest (this was The Jam's only appearance at the Reading Festival).

Danielle Dax, Astoria, London, UK, 30th August 1991

Very good audience recording, made when Danielle looked like achieving some proper commercial success with what was to be her last complete album to date 'Blast the Human Flower' from which most of this set is taken. The original tape was a bit muffled, with little top-end, but some work on the levels has made this much crisper and more listenable. Danielle Dax live shows are pretty thin on the ground, and this is one of the better ones.

Foo Fighters, Lowlands Festival, Holland, 21st August 2005

Excellent FM radio broadcast made while the Foos were doing the festival circuit in Europe. A week later, they played basically the same hit-heavy set at the Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK. Note: The meta-data on the tracks gives the wrong date for the show - the 21st August is correct.

FM radio broadcast highlights of Oasis' headlining set at the 2000 Leeds Festival. The Carling Weekend had three sites in 2000: Reading, Leeds and Glasgow, so the Leeds Festival started on the Saturday and finished on the bank holiday Monday, with Oasis rounding off the festival as headliners.

Nirvana, Reading Festival, Reading, UK, 23rd August 1991

Very good audience recording. This was the first of Nirvana's two appearances at The Reading Festival, a few months before the release of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and 'Nevermind.' Being at that point still just another band on the emerging grunge scene, they weren't a big draw and were a lowly sixth on the bill on the Friday, below Chapterhouse and above Silverfish. The following year, of course, they would close the festival in what was to be their final appearance in the UK.

Frank Black, The Borderline, London, England, 11th February 1990

There has long been some dispute about the date and location of this recording, with some parties claiming it was recorded in either Europe or the USA in 1990; others that it was taped in the USA in 1992, after the Pixies split. Certainly, Frank Black embarked on a solo tour after the break-up, travelling in his own car and playing small venues, such as bars and clubs, but nothing in the set-list is from the Pixies' 1991 final album 'Trompe le Monde' which supports the argument for the recording dating from 1990. Crucially, however, you can hear some audience chatter between songs - and they're English (not American) voices, pinning the recording to a one-off solo show at The Borderline on 11th February 1990. It's a superb show, generally regarded as an audience recording, but equally it may well be an unmixed soundboard tape, as there's no evidence of anyone talking or clapping close to the microphone (the voices occasionally heard could well be picked up by a stage microphone in a small club) - and it's crystal clear throughout. It's a highly recommended document of Pixies songs sung by Frank with just an electric guitar for accompaniment.

Sex Pistols, Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas, Texas, USA, 10th January 1978

This appears to be an audience recording - it's certainly the full show, unlike the DVD release of this gig, which had just nine songs. The last track is a period radio ad for the gig. This is the last post of the US tour gigs - no recording has ever surfaced of the 12th January show at Cain's Ballroom, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the final concert on at The Winterland, San Francisco on 14th January is commercially available.

Sex Pistols, Kingfish Club, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA, 9th January 1978

Sex Pistols, Randy's Rodeo, San Antonio, Texas, USA, 8th January 1978

Seemingly the hardest gig to find from the US tour of 1978, I've only ever had this as these 128kbps mp3 files. Even without that limitation, it's the weakest recording of the US dates, but it's here for the sake of completism and historical interest.

An average audience recording of the second date on the Pistols' US tour in 1978. A slightly inferior recording of this gig also exists, but that misses off 'No Fun'. This is the complete show.

Sex Pistols, Great South East Music Hall Atlanta, GA, USA, 5th January 1978

The first date played on the short, ill-fated 1978 tour of the USA. The first date was scheduled for 28th December 1977 in Pittsburgh but was cancelled, so the Pistols made their Stateside debut in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a very good, soundboard recording. The last three songs are from Maasbree, Holland in December 1977, which would suggest that the Atlanta show is incomplete.

Sex Pistols, Ivanhoe's Huddersfield, UK, 25th December 1977

This was the original Sex Pistols' final UK date - on Christmas Day - before the short US tour that lead to the band's break up in San Francisco just three weeks later. Sound quality is, at best, average, but there's a certain significance in hearing the last show on British soil until the reformation of the band in 1996. This is the evening show - in the afternoon the band had played a set for the children of local firemen and laid-off workers.

Sex Pistols, Leeds Polytechnic, Leeds, UK, 6th December 1976

One of just a handful of dates on the 'Anarchy in the UK' tour that went ahead, this is a surprisingly listenable recording and, of course, of significant historical value and interest, given the difficulty of actually getting to see the Sex Pistols live at that time. Also included is an interview (in three parts) recorded after the band's show at Middlesborough Rock Garden on 26th August 1977 (this is incorrectly dated in the accompanying text file... August is the correct month for the interview).

Sex Pistols, Links Pavilion, Cromer, UK, 24th December 1977

The original Sex Pistols' penultimate date in the UK, before the ill-fated US tour this isn't the greatest recording (everything's in the mix, but buried beneath a lot of tape hiss), but, like the Doncaster Outlook show (see previous post), historical interest outweighs the sonic deficiencies. There are two versions of this show in circulation - this is the better of the two recordings though it's missing 'Submission' which was played that night and is on the inferior boot.

Sex Pistols, Outlook Club, Doncaster, 24th August 1977

Part of the "SPOTS" (Sex Pistols On Tour Secretly) tour, this is here more for its historical interest than its quality. At best it's an average recording, but mostly fairly poor. You can tell that behind the many generations of tape-to-tape that led to this tape, there's a pretty decent original recording, which sounds like it's from the audience, but everything seems quite balanced behind the tape hiss. It also doesn't sound like the full set - there's an obvious 'cut' during the crowd noise at one point, plus the Pistols were playing more than 11 songs a night at this time.

Siouxsie and the Banshees, Glasgow Apollo, Glasgow, UK, 15th November 1982

FM radio broadcast. I don't know if this was a BBC recording, but it didn't appear on the recent 'Banshees at the BBC' box set. Another tape bought years ago at a record fair - one of those institutions that seems to have been killed off by the internet. I used to love flicking through the boxes of records and tapes, never knowing what I'd find. I often bought tapes from a market stall in Lincoln - they were always graded "quality: A" despite the quality (or lack of) on the tape itself...

The Mighty Lemon Drops, Golders Green Hippodrome, London, UK, 1987

I don't know the date of this show, but it was broadcast on the radio on 16th May 1987, so was almost certainly in early May of that year. The Mighty Lemon Drops looked, for a short time at least, like real contenders but, sadly, their moment in the sun was brief. They did, however, leave behind one of the mid-80s indie-guitar classics in 'Like an Angel' which was later covered by Pop Will Eat Itself.

The Wonder Stuff, Glasgow Tramway, Glasgow, UK, 5th April 1994

Excellent FM radio broadcast. For some unknown reason, this didn't make it onto the Stuffies' 'Live at the BBC' compilation a couple of years back, which is a shame, as it's a great recording from what was their final tour. But here it is for your enjoyment.

The Wonder Stuff, Phoenix Festival, Long Marston, UK, 15th July 1994

The Stuffies' farewell appearance (until the inevitable reunion shows and later full reformation). Only a few songs from this show have ever been released, but this is the full one hour 24 minute FM radio broadcast and, although it's not quite the complete set they played that night, it is a superb record of the Stuffies going out on top. As Miles says before 'Good Night Though': "Ever get the feeling you've been treated?" It certainly felt like that at the time.

I have no idea whether this is the complete show, but it appears to be recorded from the soundboard. I found this on an old CD-R (hence the 128kbps files), so have no further information, but it's truly stunning, as you would expect from Sunderland's finest.

The Wonder Stuff, The Rockerfeller, Oslo, Norway, 4th November 1993

Excellent soundboard recording. I'm assuming it's the 4th of November 1993 - the original has "4.11.93" written on it, but that could always be the arse-about face American way of doing dates with the month before the day... Still a great recording, though. Some of the filenames are wrong in the Zip files as this came on a CD-R and I didn't notice until after I'd uploaded it. The list below is correct, though.

Crazyhead, Reading Festival, Reading, UK, 27th August 1989

A pretty decent audience recording (slightly thin-sounding) of Grebo legends Crazyhead in fine form at the reading Festival. Aside from the first three singles or so, Crazyhead were always a better proposition live. Debut album 'Desert Orchid' was over-produced, lacking the rawness of those early releases. Live shows by the band are thin on the ground so, despite the lack of bottom end on this recording, it's still worth hearing. Best played loud. While drinking snakebite.

Superb recording of The White Stripes in concert on BBC Radio One's 'Lamacq Live' show. Features songs from their first three albums. 'I'm Bored' is an Iggy Pop cover. I don't think The White Stripes have ever bettered this period and this is a great reminder of just how good they were.

Sex Pistols, Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, London, UK, 27th July 2002

Very good quality audience recording. Billed as 'The Pistols at the Palace' and coinciding with the Queen's 50th anniversary of succession to the throne, this show was a faint echo of the legendary 'Silver Jubilee Boat Trip' on the Thames in 1977. It was also alleged to be the Pistols' swansong, which is perhaps why they played everything the original line-up had recorded (note the rare, possibly unique outings for 'My Way' and The Creation's 'Through my Eyes'). Within a couple of months, though the lure of the Dollar had tempted them onto the US late-summer festival circuit, and they've been back on tour every few years since.

Shed Seven, Zap Club, Brighton, UK, 6th September 1994

Recorded during the same BBC Radio 1 'Sound City' week as the earlier Echobelly and Lush shows. While Shed Seven only occasionally hit any sort of heights in terms of record sales, they were a formidable live act. This captures them around the time of their debut album 'Change Giver.'

PJ Harvey, Coal Exchange, Cardiff, UK, 26th October 2000

Superb radio broadcast from BBC Radio 1 Live in Cardiff. PJ Harvey and her band were captured live for John Peel's late-night programme. I've left in the bits where Peely speaks as a reminder of a time when music like this got played on national radio.

The Damned, The Odeon, Birmingham, UK, 17th March 1977

The Godfathers, Reading Festival, Reading, UK, 28th August 1987

Good quality audience recording. I seem to recall the band divided the audience quite a bit - certainly there was a lot of stuff being thrown at them, as you'll gather from the on-stage comments. The last song is a cover of The Beastie Boys' hit.

Loop, Astoria, London, UK, 3rd December 1988

Good quality recording that appears to be from the soundboard. The band were touring the 'Fade Out' LP at the time, but the final song 'Breathe Into Me' would appear on their next (and final) album 'A Gilded Eternity'. 'Mother Sky' is a cover of a song by Can and 'Thief of Fire' was originally by The Pop Group

Sisters of Mercy, York Festival, York, UK, 22nd September 1984

The Sisters of Mercy were third on the bill (beneath Spear of Destiny and headliners Echo and the Bunnymen) at the first (and only) York Festival, held at York Racecourse. Apparently the one-day event wasn't well attended, despite having three of the country's top live draws of the time on the bill. I don't know the exact source of this recording, but I'm tempted to say it's possibly from the soundboard, as the crowd sounds distant, the sound is consistent and there's no audience intrusion or wind noise, etc. If it is soundboard, it's a few generations from the original tape, and the sound is very slightly muffled until 'Alice' which started side two of the cassette, at which point it's all very clear indeed.

All About Eve, Kentish Town & Country Club, London, UK, 15th September 1991

Excellent, if brief, FM radio broadcast. Apparently, a version of this show with 14 or so tracks exists, and has been re-broadcast on BBC 6Music, but I only have this four-song highlights-of-the-highlights recording which was aired in 1991. If anyone has a recording of the more complete show, please let me know. The final song is a Beatles cover.

The Godfathers, Town & Country Club, London, UK, July 1987

Excellent recording of a BBC In Concert FM radio broadcast. I don't know the date of the performance, though the show was aired on 25th July 1987, so it almost certainly took place in the few weeks prior to the broadcast date.

The Cult, BBC In Concert, Bristol, UK, 2nd June 1984

Stunning quality radio broadcast. There is a version of this doing the rounds which was taken from a vinyl bootleg LP, but this recording is taken from my tape of the original FM broadcast - apart from the last track, 'Spiritwalker' which is taken from the LP-derived recording, as my copy was on a separate tape from the rest of the show, and I can't find it anywhere. Also, the vinyl boot version is of a noticeably lower quality, and doesn't contain track 9, 'Christians.' If the tape with 'Spiritwalker' is ever found, I'll upgrade this. Even if you've already got the LP-sourced version, this recording of the show considerably better, and well worth downloading.

Fields of the Nephilim, Reading Festival, 26th August 1988

Very good quality audience recording of Fields of the Nephilim playing third on the bill (beneath Ramones, and headliner Iggy Pop) on the only good day at what was probably the worst overall bill Reading had ever seen - the other headliners were Starship on the Saturday and Squeeze on the Sunday. We were also treated to Bonnie Tyler, Meatloaf, Uriah Heep, Hothouse Flowers and Deacon Blue that weekend. I spent a lot of it getting drunk in the campsite. The Nephs, however, put in a pretty good show, despite having to play in daylight (not their natural environment at all). They even played an encore. Just don't expect loads of banter and jokes between songs... not really their style.

The Cult, Exeter University, Exeter, UK, 28th October 1985

Soundboard recording of The Cult in Exeter on the Love tour of 1985. It's several generations removed from the original tape, I'd say, but still very listenable. Bought it at a record fair in Exeter some time in 1986 - it was nice to hear the whole gig, as I'd had to leave to get the last train back to Plymouth where I was living at the time and missed everything after 'She Sells Sanctuary.'

The Mission, Reading Festival, UK, 22nd August 1986

Good quality soundboard recording of a fairly early Mission show. They'd released just two singles at this point and played late afternoon at the festival. At one point, a rather drunk Wayne Hussey, rolling around the stage, fell off into the photographers' pit. A year later they were big enough to headline Reading - and again in 1989. The tape is probably a few generations removed from the original source, but still sounds good.

Public Image Limited, Brixton Academy, London, UK, 27th May 1986

Good quality audience recording of PiL during their commercially-successful mid-1980s phase, which means a slicker sound than before, in keeping with the prevailing trends. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'm not so sure now... Lydon gets extremely annoyed at the repeated spitting during this show (can't blame him, really) and eventually walks off during 'Public Image', repeatedly stating that he'll never play London again. He has, of course, and will be this December when he reconvenes a version of PiL for a short UK tour.

Danko Jones, Lowlands Festival, Holland, 25th August 2002

Excellent FM radio broadcast of Canada's Danko Jones at arguably the peak of his powers, when he was still playing many of his early songs (Mango Kid, Samuel Sin etc) and before his sound became more homogenised hard rock - though he was back on form when supporting Motorhead in the UK in 2008.

The Cramps, Reading Festival, UK, 24th August 1990

Half Man Half Biscuit, Reading Festival, UK, 24th August 1990

Good quality audience recording, rescued from a CD-R that's starting to degrade - it took five attempts to get it recorded without clicks and crackles, though you will hear some faintly on track 10. But Half Man Half Biscuit bootlegs are pretty rare, so it's still well worth hearing. I was at the 1990 festival, but some how managed to miss seeing this set by the Biccies... still can't believe it.

Sex Pistols, 100 Club, London, 20th September 1976

So, for the 100th post here, what could be more appropriate than one of the most important gigs ever: the Sex Pistols last appearance at the legendary 100 Club in London. It's an average audience recording, but its historical importance outweighs any sonic deficiencies, I reckon. Following this gig, the whole punk scene exploded. 'Stepping Stone' and 'Satellite' are taken from the earlier 31st August 100 Club gig as there seems to be no recording if those from 20th September. 'Don't give me no Lip, Child' is cut slightly at the end - tape flip problems, perhaps, and the second version of 'Anarchy' cuts out, presumably when the tape ran out.

01 Anarchy in the UK

03 Seventeen
04 New York
05 Don't give me no Lip, Child
06 (I'm not your) Stepping Stone (31st August 1976)

The Fall, WOMAD Festival, Mersea Island, Essex, UK, 19th July 1985

Excellent quality FM radio broadcast of The Fall playing (bizarrely) the WOMAD (World Of Music And Dance) Festival - generally known for its world music performers. Quite how The Fall came to be on the bill - or how they were received by an audience more used to acts such as The Bhundu Boys - I can't imagine. Track 10 does, however, have some tape 'flutter' but this doesn't detract too much from the set as a whole.

Frank Black, Reading Festival, UK, 26th August 1994

Superb FM radio broadcast of the then ex-Pixies frontman on the main stage at the Reading Festival. I was there and it was a fantastic performance - at least once I'd found the 'sweet spot' for the sound, which was being blown about all over the place by the wind until I got into the centre of the crowd. The final track is an acoustic version recorded backstage at the festival for a US radio station.

The Fall, Reading Festival, 28th August 1987

Although the sound is generally average on this recording, it is possibly one of the largest gigs the band ever played - second on the bill at the Reading Festival. They were originally third, but Spear of Destiny pulled out, leaving The Fall playing immediately before headliners The Mission. This period was the band's commercial peak, and the set is largely comprised of songs from 'The Frenz Experiment' and singles of that period.

The Fall, Finsbury Park, London, 27th July 1986

This recording is of The Fall as support (bizarrely) to The Damned at the latter's '10th Anniversary Tea Party' gigs in London's Finsbury Park. Quite how The Fall got picked for as support is a mystery, but I love The Damned and The Fall, so it was a real treat for me, made even sweeter by the fact that New Model Army were also on the bill. Anyway, the recording: this is a very good audience tape. I can't imagine where the taper stood as there's almost no crowd intrusion and all the instruments are clear and well-balanced. The set sees The Fall playing almost all of their then current 'Bend Sinister' album.
