Bootlegs and stuff....

Megaupload

2012-01-21T14:02:00.000-08:00

As you probably know, Megaupload has been shut down by the US gov't. This development makes this 100% legal music blog essential useless. Maybe it is time to go back to trading tapes in the mail (Maxell XL II only please!) or doing B+P. Oh, the good old days.

If you see anything here you want, leave a comment and I will try to back to you. Fortunately I have backup copies of everything. I'll try to post these shows elsewhere if I can find the time.

Broken Social Scene - San Francisco October 1, 2011

2011-10-02T16:35:00.000-07:00

It has been years since I taped a show. The free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park is walking distance from my place, so taping this BSS show just seemed obvious. I dusted off the old equipment and here it is.

This is the daytime show in Golden Gate Park. They also played later that night at The Fillmore.

New Creeper Lagoon added

2010-10-02T16:47:00.000-07:00

I've had a few requests for more Creeper Lagoon shows, so here are two more shows from 2001 I taped:

Creeper Lagoon: The Fillmore, San Francisco 4/2/01
Creeper Lagoon: Capitol Garage, Sacramento 4/13/01

I really miss this band, they were great.

The Appleseed Cast: San Francisco 4/21/03

2010-05-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

Well, here it is. A soundboard show from The Appleseed Cast. This has been sitting on a Minidisc in a shoebox for years.

For your listening pleasure, please enjoy.

The Appleseed Cast: San Francisco 4/21/03
Length: 45 minutes
Venue: Bottom of the Hill

Soundboard Matrix Out > Sharp 722 MD

FLAC Format

** Note, they played 1 song (or part of one song) and had some technical problems. I started taping after the restart.

**missing song
Forever Longing The Golden Sunsets
Steps And Numbers
Hanging Marionette
Innocent Vigilant Ordinary
Sunset Drama King
Hello Dearest Love
Santa Maria
Rooms And Gardens

At the time I had never heard of The Appleseed Cast, I was there to see & tape Cursive. I'm really glad I plugged into the board and recorded The Appleseed Cast. They are now one of my favorites and soundboard recordings have been impossible to find.

As of today (May 2010) this show was completely uncirculated. I kinda forgot I had it until I was cleaning up my Minidiscs and found it recently.

There are a few minor volume drops, but they are minimal.

ENJOY!

Thorns Of Life!

2009-02-07T09:38:00.000-08:00

WOW! I caught the Thorns Of Life show last weekend at Gilman. Totally awesome show! It was great to see (and hear) Blake from Jawbreaker & Jets To Brazil back in action. The crowd was super pumped and ready to rock. I'd say Thorns of Life are a throw back to the Jawbreaker middle years (not a raw as the old stuff, not a clean as the late stuff). Overall a great show. If you have any Thorns Of Life recordings, please let me know.

Finally some live shows!

2008-11-22T17:50:00.000-08:00

A few years ago I actively taped many of the concerts I attended. Most of the shows are from San Francisco and the surrounding area. Thanks to all the bands & venues who let me record with permission.

I have recently added some of the shows to the torrent site Demonoid. Click this link for the shows currently available to download from Demonoid.

Welcome!

2008-07-12T18:12:00.000-07:00

This is a work in progress. I will be adding random thoughts, comments & hopefully some live bootlegs and photos from concerts I attended. I'll try to make time for this, but who knows!
