New York Dolls,
Reading Festival, Reading, UK, 28th August 2004

Perfect soundboard recording. New York Dolls had reformed after 29 years to play the Meltdown Festival on 11th June 2004 at the request of festival curator and long-time fan of the Dolls, Morrissey. Sadly, the reunion of the three surviving original members was short-lived as bassist Arthur "Killer" Kane died from Leukemia a month later on 13th July. This show took place just six weeks later with ex-Hanoi Rocks bassist Sami Yaffa in the line-up, a position he filled until 2010. This stunning set was available for a short while as a paid-for digital (Windows Media) download, but as it's been unavailable for years, it seems only fair to make it available once again.

Primal Scream
Olympia, London, UK, November 2010

Excellent digital radio broadcast. This show was recorded on either the 26th or 27th of November 2010 and sees Primal Scream performing the whole of their classic 1991 "Screamadelica" album. This is an upgrade to an earlier post, which was from a broadcast that didn't include "I'm Comin' Down" or "Higher Than the Sun" and which was also incorrectly dated. The final two songs have been taken from the earlier broadcast, as the BBC saw fit to edit them to shorter durations for the re-broadcast and I thought you'd prefer to have the full-length versions as originally performed.

The Police,
Hatfield Polytechnic, 1979

Excellent digital radio broadcast. The precise date is unknown but, given that five of the song's are from 1978's "Outlandos d'Amour" LP, I suspect this is early in 1979.
