Beady Eye - 2011-04-03 - Live At The Brixton Academy

This is the 2nd Beady Eye post from me, and also the second Beady Eye gig I attended. This was at the Brixton Academy Japan Benefit gig (Paul Weller's performance from the night has already been uploaded here), which was broadcast on XFM. As a result, the sound quality is excellent.This is a slightly shorter setlist than Beady Eye have been playing, as time was limited due to all the other bands. It is notable for being the first, and to date the only time that the band have played their cover of Across The Universe.The artwork is by Small Faces so credit goes to him for that! Link is my own, enjoy.

The Seahorses - B-Sides

The Seahorses were formed in the mid-90s by John Squire, after he left the Stone Roses. They recoded two albums, one of which was released and one which wasn't (this was posted here a few months back). They also released four singles; the B-sides from the three released album tracks, as well as the non-album single You Can Talk To Me and its B-sides make up this compilation. Not had a chance to listen to this yet, but I am a big fan of their two albums, so I have high hopes for this unofficial collection (tagged it as a rarity as all the songs were officially released). I knocked this artwork up in a couple of minutes to accompany this download.

Kasabian - Saracuse Demos

Firstly, apologies for the lack of posts over the past week or so. My computer has again broken, and I am currently waiting for it to be returned from PC world. This is pretty awful timing as I'm going on holiday for 3 weeks on Saturday, and as a result haven't been able to stockpile any posts for when I'm away. If I get my computer back tomorrow I may be able to create a few, but don't expect many posts over the coming weeks. ANYWAY... This rare collection of demos dates from 1999, when Kasabian were still called Saracuse (hence the name). Not been able to properly listen to this yet, but it is (as far as I'm aware) the only collection of Kasabian demos in circulation, and as a result will probably be of interest to fans of the band. From what I've heard of this the sound is quite different from their debut album, released a few years after these demos were recorded. I made this artwork as I couldn't find any. Link is my own.

Babyshambles - Rare Live Tracks

Babyshmables are a band from England who are fronted by Pete Doherty. They have released 2 albums and a third has supposedly been imminent for about two years now, not sure it will ever come out to be honest. I compiled this a few years ago when they started playing new tracks live; it was originally intended to consist of just the new songs, but some live covers crept in and the result is this compilation. I ripped all the audio from various Youtube videos, so the sound quality varies; it is admittedly quite poor on a couple of tracks. None of it is totally unlistenable though. I've never seen another bootleg containing the newer songs played, and not sure if any of the covers included here have been included on a bootleg either, so I would strongly recommend this to any Babyshambles fan. I made this artwork to accompany the download, which I'm quite happy with.

Kula Shaker - 1997-06-26 - Live At The Roskilde Festival

Kula Shaker were one of the most critically savaged bands of the Britpop era, which may admittedly have been  due to the singer's infamous swastika comments. However, in my opinion they had some great tunes. In fact, they reformed in 2006 and have since released 2 albums, both of which are excellent; I recommend checking out Pilgrims Progress, released last year. This bootleg was recorded at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, and was probably about the time when when the band were at their commercial peak. The sound quality here is excellent, almost certain this is a soundboard recording. Highlights of this 14-song setlist include 303, Hey Dude and the non-album single, Hush. This is definitely worth a download for fans of the band.

Whiteout - Bite It

Whiteout were a Scottish band who formed in the early 90s in Greenock and released two albums; Wikipedia says they split shortly after the release of their second album (which will be posted in future as it is extremely rare) in 1998. The band's only real claim to fame is touring with Oasis just before the latter band became massive; Whiteout started the tour as headlining act but after the first night were demoted to 2nd on the bill, and rightly so! That said, Whiteout were still a good band with some excellent tunes, and this album is actually very good. Their sound is best compared to mid-90s Charlatans, although they have a more laid-back vibe. Highlights from this album include Thirty Eight, No Time and Altogether. This is recommended to fans of the Charlatans' mid 90s work, curious Oasis fans and those who enjoyed The Gyres album posted previously.

The Stone Roses - 1990-06-09 - Live On Glasgow Green

This, along with the previously posted Blakpool gig, is regarded as one of the best Stone Roses gigs of all time. It was held in a specially erected tent on Glasgow Green, hence the name, and apparently the sweat was raining off the ceiling! It is notable for several reasons: for being the band's last gig for over 4 years, for being Reni's last performance with the band, and just for being a bloody good gig. The setlist is excellent; it basically consists of most of the songs that were played at their 1989 gigs, plus the excellent Fool's Gold and One Love. Sound quality is pretty good, not soundboard but good audience recording, and the band sound on great form. This is strongly recommended to all Stone Roses fans; if you enjoyed the Blackpool gig I posted before this should be right up your street. Only negative is that some of the songs are contained within the same track, although if you have an MP3 splitter this can be sorted should you so desire. Link is my own.

1.I Wanna Be Adored.
2.Elephant Stone.
3.She Bangs The Drums.
4.Shoot You Down.

Noel Gallagher - 2006-11-28 - Live At The Cabaret Sauvage

As most of you will by now be aware, Noel Gallagher today announced both his first and second solo albums at a press conference in London; all details are available on his new website: http://www.noelgallagher.com. Very exciting news! There is a huge buzz about it at the moment, and I felt it wouldn't be acceptable to post anything wasn't Noel today, so here is an excellent semi-acoustic gig from 2006. The gig is from when Noel was promoting the Stop The Clocks compilation by doing smaller acoustic gigs with Gem Archer and Terry Kirkbride, and as a result crowd noise from this gig is minimal. The sound quality is also excellent as I believe the gig was professionally recorded. The 13 song setlist contains lots of early material, including B-sides, as well as a rare cover of the Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever. This gig is definitely worth a download to hear acoustic, Noel-sung versions of well-known and of course the Beatles cover.

1. It's Good To Be Free
2. Talk Tonight
3. Fade Away
4. Cast No Shadow
5. The Importance Of Being Idle
6. Listen Up
7. Half The World Away
8. Wonderwall
9. Whatever
10. Slide Away
11. Strawberry Fields Forever
12. Don't Look Back In Anger
13. Married With Children

Milburn - Demos

Milburn were a band formed in Sheffield in the mid '00s, and who split up in 2009 after the release of their second album. They were part of the group of Sheffield bands that broke through following Arctic Monkey's success, alongside bands like Reverend and the Makers and Little Man Tate. Despite this, they supposedly had the early Arctic Monkeys sound before the Monkeys themselves, much like The Real People and Oasis. There are tons of different collections of demos floating about but I collected all the ones I could find and the result is this exhaustive collection spanning their short career. It is admittedly fairly ramshackle, especially where tracklisting and song info are concerned, but it should be easily fixable on iTunes. I made this artwork to accompany the demos, as there was none previously available. This is recommended to fans of the Sheffield bands mentioned above, especially Arctic Monkeys fans who miss the bands 'old' sound, although I would recommend listening to one of Milburn's two studio albums before taking the plunge and downloading this, as there is a lot of Milburn here!

Northside - Post Factory Demos

Northside were a Madchester band whose sole album was released on Factory Records in either 1990 or '91. However, the recorded enough material between 1992 and 1996 to comprise a separate album after being dropped by Factory, as this collection showcases. There are various collections knocking about, some titled '2nd album demos' and others 'Post-factory demos', but I'm not sure if they're the same or not. This is a decent collection of songs although the singer's voice is likely to be very Marmite, so I would recommend checking them out on Youtube before you download if you aren't familiar with the band. Highlights include Tonight, Pleasuredome and Freak Circus. I made this artwork myself, quite pleased with it personally. Recommended to serious fans of the Madchester scene, especially the Happy Mondays.

Arctic Monkeys - 2011-06-10 - Live At The Don Valley Bowl, Sheffield

CARNIVAL OF LIGHT ORIGINAL!
This was the first of the Monkeys' two recent homecoming gigs. Not seen any bootlegs of this gig, so I took it upon myself to rip the audio from various youtube videos and create one. I tried to choose the one with the best sound quality for each song, but no one person had recorded the whole thing so sound quality varies song to song. Most of it is decent quality though. Highlights from this mammoth setlist include The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala, Mardy Bum (a slower, alternate and in my opinion superior version), I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and Fluorescent Adolescent. I'm seeing them on their UK tour in November, really looking forward to it especially as their recent setlists have been excellent. This won't be for everyone due to the hit-and-miss sound quality, but haven't seen many recent bootlegs apart from this and another from Boston, which I will be posting soon! If anyone has any more boots from this year, please get in touch, cheers. New link to replace the old one which disappeared for some reason.
