Concerts I've listened to, October 2011
2011-09-28 Radiohead New York City NY Roseland Ballroom - Nice and clean, but a little bit quiet. National Anthem rocked, but beyond that newer Radiohead is just a little too subtle for me.
1981-11-21 The Rolling Stone St. Paul MN Civic Center - Soundboard! Apparently there were a lot on the Tatoo You tour. Really thin sounding, but it's all there with no crowd. How can they sound so awesome and ragged at the same time. Brilliant.
1989-12-19 Living Colour New York City NY CBGB's - Another homecoming show after the Stones tour. Lots of material from Type.
2008-03-16 Bruce Springsteen St. Paul MN Xcel Energy Center - I was all excited that I got a show I was at. Whoops. We were at the Fall 2007 stop on the Magic tour. Another hot Bruce show, but this was not my favorite tour.
2011-10-15 Bono and The Edge Los Angeles CA Hollywood Bowl - Decade of Difference Concert for the Clinton Foundation. One of those gems that only people "in the know" would ever get to hear. Pretty clear audience recording.
2011-07-15 The Chemical Brothers Aix-Les-Baines France Esplanade du Lac du Bourget - Some hot rockin' beats. Really nice recording.
2011-10-18 New Order Paris France Batalcan - Gillian, but no Hooky. One of two benefit gigs. Pretty good sound. Better than the crap I saw on You Tube.
2011-06-04 Eric Clapton Bramley UK Wintershall Estate - All covers. Brilliant sound. Must be one of those Clapton benefit shows.

Concerts I've listened to, September 2011
1995-10-17 Ben Folds Five Santa Monica CA KCRW Studio Morning Becomes Eclectic - You'd think an FM would sound better than this. Nice early performance and interview.
1996-06-18 The Cardigans Santa Monica CA KCRW Studio Morning Becomes Eclectic - Good FM. Nice performance before they broke big.
1996-03-14 Garbage Madison WI Barrymore Theatre - Good early show. OK sound, a bit quiet.
1994-10-03 Frente Hilversum Holland 2 Meter Sessions - Pre-FM. Really really nice and clear, which his good for the acoustic stuff. Too much pre-fm nonsense not enough actual music.
2011-08-28 Muse Reading UK Little John's Farm Reading Festival - Audience. Really far and distance. Probably one of the most crowdy shows I've listened to in long time. Taped right in the middle of a bunch of blokes who sing along to everything, including the solos!
2002-11-17 Counting Crows Ithaca NY Cornell University Barton Hall - Soundboard. Very very good recording.
1975-02-07 Miles Davis Tokyo Japan Shinjuku Kohseinenkin Hall - Another from a set I downloaded. Very good sound, but just slightly distant.
2011-07-10 Ben Folds Kansas City MO Crossroads - A bit muffled. Very crowdy.
1997-05-16 The Cardigans Seattle WA Moore Theater - Apparently I've listened to this before. Perhaps I don't need to be doing these anymore.
1975-10-02 Bruce Springsteen Milwaukee WI Uptown Theater - The bomb scare show. Brilliant soundboard. If you haven't heard it, you need to. If you have, you know what I'm talking about. Are you loose?
1990-04 Prince Chanhassen MN Paisley Park Studios - Nude tour rehearsals. Soundboard. Much much better than some of the mid-80s boards I've been listening to. And I love the long rehearsals tracks.
1972-03-04 Genesis Watford UK Technical College - 3rd oldest known Genesis recording. How do these old recordings end up sounding so good. PRRPGS release.
1975-02-08 Miles Davis Tokyo Japan Shinjuku Kohseinenkin Hall - The last of the 3 Tokyo shows I have.
1987-03-21 Prince Minneapolis MN First Avenue - SoTT rehearsal show. Pretty good sound. Soundboard, but not EX+. There's some videotape sounding artifacts.
1972-03-02 Genesis London UK BBC Paris Studios - pre-FM. Wow.
2011-09-05 OMD Berlin Germany IFA - Last blast of live OMD before I go see them later in the month. A recent one from Berlin, with a different set list than the recent Live In Berlin release.
1994-05-06 Prince Paris France Le Bataclan - Soundboard. Apparently I can listen to Prince board tapes everyday.
2007-09-08 Rush Tinley Park IL First Midwest Bank Amphitheater - Or The World as it was originally known. Another show I saw. Good stuff. Nothing wrong with the recording as well.
1969-09-17 Pink Floyd Amsterdam Holland Concertgebouw - The Man and The Journey. Pre-FM. Apparently I've had this for a number of years and haven't burned it yet. Nice.
2007-12-05 Led Zeppelin Surry UK Shepperton Studios - Soundboard rehersals for reunion show. Performance is not as good as the show.
1984-08-14 Prince Minneapolis MN First Avenue - Theoretically an upgrade to an already great sounding show. I can't tell the difference.
1977-04-09 Led Zeppelin Chicago IL Chicago Stadium - The Jimmy Gets Sick show.
1970-04-29 Pink Floyd San Francisco KQED Studios - Always a fav.
2011-09-14 Peter Hook and The Light Los Angeles CA The Music Box - Performing Closer. OK performance. Missing some of the Barney fun. Good recording.
2011-09-10 The Cure Isle of Wight UK Robin Hill Country Park - Rare 2011 performance. A bit of a hollow recording. Some detail seems to be missing.
1994-07-13 Prince New York City NY The Palladium - '94-'95 was a great era. Kind of a "big show", but feels like a Paisley Park show.
2011-09-26 OMD Minneapolis MN First Avenue - Audience, but official. Purchased at the show. THANKS!
1989-11-30 Living Colour Minneapolis MN HHH Metrodome - Opening for the Rolling Stones. My third show on that tour. Rocked! Sadly, the recording does not.
1980-07-07 Led Zeppelin Berlin German Eissporthalle - The last LZ gig. Thin soundboard.

Concerts I've listened to, August 2011
1991-07-16 OMD Cambridge UK Corn Exchange - Audience tape. OK sound. Haven't seen a lot of tapes from this era floating around.
1991-07-30 Muse Los Angeles CA Memorial Coliseum - Is this tour ever going to end? Good modern sound. Fantastic performance as usual.
1987-11-30 Yes Philadelphia PA Spectrum - Supposedly from a pro-shot video. Not the best soundboard then. And there's just some bad Trevor Rabin on here.
1978-07-29 Genesis New York City NY Madison Square Garden - Previously uncirculated! Gabriel encore! Very listenable, but a bit distant.
1978-09-30 Bruce Springsteen Atlanta GA Fox Theatre - New pre-FM! Wow. Amazing sound. Great notes on why this recording isn't in the same league as the rest of the '78 broadcasts at Dime.
2011-07-23 U2 Minneapolis MN TCF Bank Stadium - Ah yet another local U2 show I've skipped. It was super hot and rained. Very good sound considering it rained and it's a big stadium.
2011-07-22 Ben Folds San Francisco CA Warfield - A little bit quiet. Nice longer set like the First Ave show we saw earlier this year.
1985-11-01 Pete Townshend London UK Brixton Academy - The first of the Deep End concerts. With Gilmour of course. An audience recording. A really nice audience recording. Fantastic performance and nice to hear the first night instead of the second night.
1994-01-24 Counting Crows Boston MA Pearl Street Night Club - Not the best soundboard. Good early energetic performance. Too bad the rip from CD was bad. Oh well.
1986-11-16 Stewart Copeland Adrian Belew Stanley Clarke San Francisco CA Warfield Theater - Some type of industry show. 20 minute performance. Good enough sound for the rarity of it.
1975-01-23 Miles Davis Tokyo Japan Shinjuku Kohseinenkin Hall - For liking this era so much, due to Pangea and Agartha, I've never listened to any MD bootlegs.

Concerts I've listened to, July 2011
1970-06-06 Syd Barret London UK Kensington Olympia - A rare 18 minute Syd performance. Sadly, the vocals are almost completely missing. A great cleaning up of this rare show!
2011-06-24 Radiohead Glastonbury UK Glastonbury Festival - Nice, but their shows (or music) have not been super energetic lately.
1970-01-23 Pink Floyd Paris Frane Théatre Des Champs-Elysées - I looked at my big list and I guess I had listened to the AM recording at least once before. Great show. I wish a soundboard was available.
2000-10-20 Pet Shop Boys Dortmund Germany - From the Montage video. I need to see them again!
1979-08-12 OMD London UK Electric Ballroom - I love the super old OMD shows. So light and tinny, but surprisingly good sound.
1983-05-16 Jah Wobble and Prince Minneapolis MN First Avenue - Working through a large multi-disc set of Purple Rain era material. One song performed, the unreleased Cloreen Bacon Skin. Not good sound, and difficult to tell Prince is on it.
1984-10-25 Sheila E and Prince Minneapolis MN First Avenue - Good sound. Prince on one track. Awesome guitar!
1994-01-xx OMD Johannesburg South Africa Standard Bank Arena - Pretty crappy board tape. I thought I've heard better versions of this show. Not necessarily my favorite era either.
1993-05-15-16 Sting Las Vegas NV Sam Boyd Silver Bowl - Opening for the Dead and its a soundboard. Two shows, no overlap in songs. This is about when I completely gave up on Sting. Last bit of goodness.
1991-08-28 OMD Milton Keynes UK Bowl - Another one of Andy's "solo" shows. For an FM I thought that it would sound better.
1991-06-03 Yes Paris France Palais des Omnisports de Paris Bercy - Ah the big Union tour. And about a month later I would see them in Miami (from which I have a really crappy video). 160 minutes of Yes goodness. And it's a PRRP release so you know it sounds, well, pretty good. Fantastically proggy.
2011-07-03 Underworld Arras France Main Square Festival - Audience recording. Really really nice audience recording. Bouncing set list with none of that weird ambient stuff.
2007-07-14 Barcelona Spain Summercase - slightly far away audience recording. short 60 minute set.
2011-07-09 Ben Folds South Works Stage DMB Caravan 2011 - Short 60m set. Very quiet recording.
1983-09-10 OMD Liverpool UK Royal Court - I had no idea that there was a gig with new Junk Culture songs that were not yet recorded. A bit of hiss but so worth it.
1994-06-22 Pink Floyd Minneapolis MN HHH Metrodome - 1st gen source that apparently I don't already have. Too bad the beginning of AD is cute. Poor way to start the recording. Missing a bit of the high end.
1988-05-10 Bruce Springsteen Bloomington MN Met Center - My first (and perhaps favorite) Bruce show. 195 minutes of energy. From the brilliantly listenable Crystal Cat release Bloomington Night. Who did this recording and what else did they record locally?
1986-08-08 Erasure Stockholm Sweden Karlsson - Bonus DVD from the recent Wonderland reissue. Synthpop wonderfulness. Music and vocals are rough performance wise at time. Recording is spectacular.
2011-07-03 Fatboy Slim Las Vegas NV Marquee - A full FBS set! Sweet.
1979-04-18 Yes Quebec City Canada Le Colisee' de Quebec - Apparently a leaked recording from the band. Perfect sounds, and actually some really nice stereo separation.
1987-04-14 Erasure Brighton UK Dome - Another DVD rip.
1983-04-19 OMD London UK Hammersmith Odeon - I'm not sure if I have other shows from the Dazzle Ships tour. OK sound. Like the rest of the other OOMD shows I've listened to recently, it runs fast.

Concerts I've listened to, June 2011
1972-02-17 Pink Floyd London UK Rainbow Theatre - Night one of the four night stand. From the new Godfatherecords box set. So nice. I like having the entire Rainbow run.
2010-03-06 Muse Boston MA TD Garden - 3 source matrix! Really really nice sound. And as usual, it completely rocks!
1980-06-01 OMD Boston MA The Underground - 35 minute set. Seems complete from the notes though. Sounds about what you think a club show in 1980 should sound like. Wow... Crowd was not happy that it was a short set either.
2011-06-03 Pet Shop Boys Manchester UK City Of Manchester Stadium - Short opening set for Take That (really?). Really distant recording.
1993-07-03 New Order Roskilde Denmark Roskilde Festival - Really? An audience this good from a festival?
1978-12-08 Bruce Springsteen Houston TX The Summit - From the Promise box set. Can't believe I've never listened to this show before. I may not have been paying attention to the fact that there was a pro-shot for it.
1992-06-04 The Cure Miami FL Miami Arena - About a week or so after I was in a car accident going to Miami Area to seen Clapton I was back to see the Cure. Great show. Tapes have been impossible to find. Finally found some MP3s of the show. Seems like really good sound, so why so hard to find? Must keep looking. 15 minute Forest!
2011-03-16 OMD Oakland CA Fox Theater - The thing I like about all the new OMD shows is that they sound excellent. This is no exception.
1972-02-19 Pink Floyd London UK Rainbow Theatre - Night three. Sound not as good. Pretty hissy.
1991-10-25 Rush Hamilton Canada Copps Coliseum - Alex's feed in one ear, an ambient mix in the other. Kinda interesting and annoying at the same time.
1971-03-07 Genesis Woluwe St Lambert Belgium La Ferme - Again! Remastered from 2nd gen tape. One of the earliest known Genesis live recordings, and perhaps their first show outside of the UK. Pretty hissy but a really strange set list.
1989-09-03 Inspiral Carpets Birmingham UK Burberries - I don't believe I've ever listened to an Inspiral Carpets show. I would love a tape of when I saw them at First Ave in '91.
2011-05-22 Muse Moscow Russia Olympiyskiy Sports Palace - Fantastic sound. Really great sound.
1972-02-20 Pink Floyd London UK Rainbow Theatre - Night four. Best known of the four. Fantastic sound.
1983-07-24 Buddy Guy/Clarence Clemons/Stevie Ray Vaughn New York NY Pier 84 - A Special Olympics benefit with Aerosmith, SRV, Alex Lifeson (Seriously???) and my doppelganger John McEnroe & Vitas Gerulitis. And! It's a soundboard! RIP Big Man!
1993-03-20 Daniel Ash Chicago IL Caberet Metro - Only because I've never seen the show a few days later from First Ave that I was at. Really nice sound. I can't remember a thing about it show other than a long version of Gimme Some Lovin'.
1971-08-09 Pink Floyd Osaka Japan Festival Hall - From silvers! Cleaned up nicely.
1980-08-23 Talking Heads Bomanville Canada Mosport Park - Soundboard! Nothing to complain about. Apparently it's the first date of the Remain In Light tour with the expanded band.
2011-06-24 U2 Glastonbury UK Glastonbury Festival - broadcast. I'm glad I saw them in the '87-'97 era. Oh sure, 2001 was OK, and before '87 would have been great too. But The last 10 years or so just haven't been super interesting tour wise.
