The Boo Radleys - 1993-09-13 - Black Session #34, Studio 106, Paris

Firstly, I hope you all had an excellent Christmas and got everything you wanted from it! Now, down to business: The Black Sessions are a long-running French radio session, which started in 1992 and is still going to this day. There were a lot of great bands on it back in the 90's and early 00's, (I have 10-15 sessions by other bands to post in future) but having looked at the artists who have recently appeared on the show it seems to be going downhill. This was the Boo Radley's first Black Session; the second was in 1998, promoting their final album, Kingsize. The songs here are taken from their first two albums, however this session took place before their mid-90's commercial peak so don't expect the likes of Wake Up Boo!, the songs here are a bit more shoegaze-y. This is pretty rare and it took me a while to find it online, but here it is in all its glory to enjoy. Link is my own, enjoy!

Inspiral Carpets - BBC Radio One Sessions

This is a pretty exhaustive collection of BBC sessions from throughout the career of Oldham's Inspiral Carpets. Not sure if it collects every session they ever did or just some though. Anyway, the 21 songs here span the band's four albums, as well as their unique takes on the Stones' Gimme Shelter and Black Sabbath's Paranoid.  The sound quality on this is excellent, as you would expect from a collection of Radio Broadcasts.  This on top of the generous tracklist make this a worthy download for any fan of the band.

The Stone Roses - 1995-08-06 - Live At The Feile Festival, Cork

Another Stone Roses gig, however this the first I've posted from the Second Coming era.  Unfortunately the last few tracks, as well as half of Love Spreads, are cut off, but this is still a decent quality recording, if a little tinny.  The setlist is quite Second Coming heavy, but there is at least the classic opening trio of I Wanna Be Adored, She Bangs The Drums and Waterfall, and the songs off Second Coming are some of the better ones on the album. If you're looking for a couple of 1995 gigs, you could do a lot worse than this, only problem is the aforementioned missing tracks. Artwork was found online, link is mine.

The Charlatans - 1995-11-21 - Live At The Guildhall, Southampton

This excellent gig by the Charlatans was on the tour for 1995's exceptional self-titled album. Pretty much everything they did between 1994 and 1997 was absolutely brilliant in my opinion, and this show is no exception. The setlist is brilliant, and I would've loved to see them on this tour. Shame they seem to be 'doing a Paul Weller' and trying to experiment a bit with their new music; wish they would stick to what they're good at! Sound quality is pretty good, if a bit muffled. I got this from this excellent Charlatans blog, so credit goes to the owner, Spiral. Artwork is also from there, but the link here is my own.

Paul Weller - 2002-07-28 - Live At Hyde Park

This excellent gig from 2002 was released on a DVD I believe, however the audio is quite hard to come across (well, until now!). You can watch this gig on youtube, to give you an idea of the excellent sound quality. The setlist here is a healthy 24 songs, and is mostly excepetional, perhaps with the exception of a couple of Heliocentric and Illumination-era tracks.  Paul is joined for the last two songs by Kelly Jones, of the Stereophonics. As far as I know, this is the only live performance of Call Me No. 5 (Weller and Jones's excellent collaboration which features on Illumination). Jones also takes vocals on parts of Woodcutter's Son, making it a unique version.  Well worth a download for the last two tracks alone, although the rest of the gig is excellent too.  Links and artwork are my own. Also, the blog recently hit 50 000 views! So thanks to everyone who has visited, and here's to 50 000 more :)

The Who - 1968-04-06 - Live At The Fillmore East, New York

This is one of the earliest bootlegs I have, and I'm not an expert but I was surprised at how good the sound quality on this is.  This gig was in 1968, when (in my opinion, as ever) The Who were at the beginning of the peak of their career, that lasted until the mid-70s. Pretty good setlist containing songs that should be familiar to everyone, although I think the last 3 songs here are from another source, possibly a TV show. If anyone can clarify please let me know.  As previously stated, the sound quality is excellent and the setlist is good. Link is my own, artwork is not. Enjoy!

Supergrass - 2004-06-27 - Live At Glastonbury

First post by Supergrass, an excellent band who sadly split up early last year. This greatest hits set from 2004 was promoting their Best Of compilation, Supergass Is 10, released the same year. The gig was broadcast by the BBC, so the sound quality is as good as you would expect. I ripped the audio for this from videos hosted on Youtube by DiamondHooHaMan, so credit where it's due there. The setlist is quite short, although no complaints from me as most of my personal favourites are played: Rush Hour Soul, Pumping On Your Stereo and Grace. Link and artwork are both my own.

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers Sessions

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Oasis - Heathen Chemistry Sessions

This collection of demos and alternate versions dates from between 2000 and 2002, in the years leading up to what is widely regarded as their worst album, Heathen Chemistry. However, this collection doesn't include many of the songs that dragged that album down, and as a result is still an enjoyable listen. The only complaint you could really have is that there are repeated versions of songs, and The Hindu Times alternate intro version is near-identical to the one on the album. Still, some excellent songs here, notably the very different demo of The Hindu Times and a cover of Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody (quite fitting I'm posting this on the first day of December!). I originally got this from Jim's excellent Big Brother Recordings blog a few years ago, so credit must go to him. The excellent artwork was done by a guy called Jake. Link is my own, enjoy!
