Superb digital radio broadcast (come on, BBC, where's the whole show?). Three songs from the band's 1977 debut album "Rattus Norvegicus" and the non-album single "Straighten Out."

Kasabian,
Hull University, Hull, UK, 24th November 2004

Superb digital radio broadcast, made around the time of Kasabian's debut album, from which all but one of these seven songs are taken. The odd one out is "Fifty Five", though a version was released as the B-side of single "Club Foot."

02 Reason Is Treason
03 Running Battle
04 Fifty Five

AC/DC,
Paris Theatre, London, UK, 1976

Superb digital radio broadcast made at the BBC's Paris Theatre in Lower Regent Street. This may well have been during AC/DC's first visit to the UK - but they were by this time already an incredibly tight band. DJ Johnny Walker introduces the band and the songs, and I have edited his speech into separate tracks in case you don't want to hear them.

02 Johnny Walker
03 It's A Long Way To The Top If You Want To Rock n Roll
04 Johnny Walker
05 Soul Stripper
06 Johnny Walker
07 High Voltage
08 Johnny Walker
09 Baby Please Don't Go

Wreckless Eric,
BBC Paris Theatre, London, 1980

Excellent digital radio broadcast. When I originally posted four songs from this show back in April, I wondered whether there was a longer version lurking in the Beeb's vaults. And the BBC dutifully obliged recently by airing this ten-song version.

01 Back In My Home Town
02 Tonight
03 Can I Be Your Hero
04 Semaphore Signals
05 Pop Song
06 Broken Doll
07 Hit And Miss Judy
08 It'll Soon Be The Weekend
09 Take The Cash
10 I Need A Situation
