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.
5.One Love.
6.Sally Cinnamon.
7.Sugar Spun Sister.
8.Standing Here.
9.Fools Gold / Where Angels Play.
10.Waterfall. (Fades Out)
11.Made Of Stone.

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.

The Shining - True Skies





The Shining are known mainly for being a 'Verve offshoot', which I think is a tad unfair as despite containing 2 former members of the Verve they are a good band in their own right. This, their only album, dates from 2002. The best way to describe their sound is Oasis playing The Verve's Urban Hymns. Highlights from this excellent and underrated album include Quicksilver, Young Again, I Wonder How and Crest Of An Ocean, although the whole album is solid. I would go as far as describing this as a lost gem, and as a result it comes recommended, especially to fans of the Verve.
  1. "Quicksilver" – 3:59
  2. "Young Again" – 5:12
  3. "Find a Reason" – 3:41
  4. "Crest of an Ocean" – 5:09
  5. "Show You the Way" – 5:28
  6. "I Wonder How" – 4:44
  7. "I Am the One" – 3:44
  8. "Danger" – 4:03
  9. "Find Your Way Home" – 5:07
  10. "What You See" – 4:39
  11. "Until the End" – 9:47
  12. "Quicksilver" (Outro) – 1:50

Oasis - Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants Demos

This is the first proper collection of Oasis demos after 1994, and is probably my favourite of all the Oasis demo compilations as all the songs here (bar Little James) are sung by Noel, meaning some different versions of songs.  Most of the songs here were on Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants; however, Carry Us All, Just Getting Older and As Long As They've Got Cigarettes In Hell were all B-sides, and Revolution Song has never been released. The version of Let There Be Love is very different from the one eventually released in 2005, and is also known as It's A Crime. The sound quality on these demos is excellent. Recommended for any Oasis fan, serious or not. I originally got these from Jim's excellent blog, which you can find here.

01 : Fuckin' In The Bushes
02 : Go Let It Out
03 : I Can See A Liar
04 : Put Yer Money Where Yer Mouth Is
05 : Who Feels Love?
06 : Little James
07 : Revolution Song
08 : Carry Us All
09 : Where Did It All Go Wrong?
10 : Gas Panic!
11 : Sunday Morning Call
12 : Just Getting Older
13 : (As Long As They've Got) Cigarettes In Hell
14 : Let There Be Love
15 : Roll It Over

Michael Head & The Strands - Demos

Michael Head is one of the two brothers that make up the backbone of Shack, a great and underrated Liverpool band (expect to see posts by them in future) who have been going for well over 20 years. The Strands was a side project of his that released one classic album in 1998. These demos were recorded for that album, although 2 of the songs here were not on the album: Poor Jill and Wanda, which ended up being released as a Shack song. Only listened to these briefly, but the sound quality is very good. Again, not really listened to this long enough to pick favourites, but the band's sole album is excellent so reasonable to expect these songs will be good as well. Recommended to any fans of Shack or existing fans of The Strands.

Kasabian - 2011-06-04 - Live At The O2 Academy, Sheffield

Kasabian should be familiar with most viewers of this blog by now, so no need for an introduction. This gig was one of their first, if not their first this year, and is notable for the airing of two new songs: Velociraptor! and Switchblade Smiles. Not been able to properly listen to this yet, but from what I have listened to the sound quality seems pretty good. Highlights from this excellent setlist include Underdog, Empire, LSF and Fire, although the main 'selling point' of this gig is of course the two new songs, both of which I think are pretty good. The artwork (not made by me) is included in the download. Recommended for fans of the band. Also, I'm away on holiday tomorrow, so posts will be less frequent over the next week, although I have shecduled a few.

03. Where Did All The Love Go

The La's - 2011-06-19 - Live At The Deaf Institute, Manchester

CARNIVAL OF LIGHT ORIGINAL!
This was a recent surprise gig by Lee Mavers, supporting another band in Manchester. It's not technically a La's gig, as it was only Lee and a guy called Gary Murphy, but the setlist is entirely comprised of La's tunes, so it seems fair to label it a La's gig to me. Exciting times though, as apparently a La's facebook, twitter etc. have all been set up in the last few days, as well as this gig happening. Maybe that mythical second album is finally on the cards? The audio from this gig was recorded by Chris, thanks go to him for his hard work and  apologies to him for not giving credit until now. Check out his youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/19911995 and vimeo channel at http://vimeo.com/user2266034 . The sound quality is fairly good, although the shouting between songs is quite loud. Hard to pick favourites from this setlist as almost every song is a classic. Recommended.

The Sums - Division

The Sums are a band from Liverpool, who have been knocking about for a few years now. The singer and frontman, Digsy, was a friend of Liam and Noel Gallagher, and is referenced in the Oasis songs Digsy's Dinner and Be Here Now. In the 1990s he was in another band called Smaller, would post their album but it's on iTunes so not really rare. Check it out though, the album is called Badly Badly. Anyway, as I said the Sums have been around for a few years now but only officially released a single EP, so I decided to take it upon myself to compile an album of all the songs and demos that have been posted on Myspace or Youtube in the past few years; the result is this 12-song album, which I decided to name Division. As a result this album is exclusive to this blog. The band's sound is similar to Smaller's, but slightly more experimental in parts. Highlights include the cover of Paperback Writer, Ringin' In The Rain, Vegetable and Who Cares. Feedback would be very much appreciated on this one, as I designed the cover and compiled it myself. Reommended to curious Oasis fans and fans of Smaller, Cast and the Real People.

Paul Weller - 2011-04-02 - Live At The Brixton Academy

Have only posted older Weller stuff so far, so decided to mix things up a bit with a newer gig. I was lucky enough to be in attendance at this gig, it was a great night with not a bad act there. I've seen Paul live three times but this was easily my favourite gig of his I've been to; as it was a shorter set he missed out a lot of his poor recent material and just played a selection of hits and rockers. Highlights include Peacock Suit, Whirlpools End, The Changingman and From The Floorboards Up. Sound quality is very good as this is a radio broadcast, although there is talking in between some of the songs. I made this artwork myself. Recommended to anyone who was there on the night and Weller fans of any description. Will hopefully be posting more performances from the night in future!

Arctic Monkeys - 2004-12-12 - Live At The Forum, Sheffield

My previous Arctic Monkeys post has been the most popular yet, in terms of hits, so decided to post some more stuff by them. This is the earliest Arctic Monkeys recording I've ever come across, although a lot of the songs here were released on the debut album just over a year after this gig. Alex Turner's voice sounds a bit different, but it doesn't really detriment the songs. The sound quality here is decent, very listenable. Highlights of this gig include I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts, When The Sun Goes Down and Choo Choo. I have finally got my laptop back, which means that A - I can upload my own links and B - I have a slighly better paint program. As a result, I made this artwork, which I'm quite happy with, and uploaded the link myself. Feedback is welcome!

Blur - Live At Glastonbury, 2009

I make no bones about it, I am an Oasis man through and through, but I don't say no to a bit of Blur from time to time either. This sensational performance is from 2009's Glastonbury Festival, when Blur played a series of comeback shows. I haven't had a chance to listen to this yet, so can't comment on sound quality etc., but I watched this on TV at the time and it was a truly great performance. The setlist is great as well, so no real reason not to download for any serious Blur fan.

Johnny Marr And The Healers - Boomslang

The Healers is one of Johnny Marr's many side projects, and one of my favourite things he's ever been involved in (not a fan of The Smiths). This album dates from 2003, and it looked until recently like it was to be the group's only album. However, Johnny Marr recently announced the Healers will be releasing a new album in early 2012, with a new line up. This is part of the reason I decided to post this album, the other being that I hadn't posted  any rarities in a while. This is a fairly good album that borrows heavily from Oasis and mid-90s Charlatans, which is a good thing in my book but the album does get a bit samey later on. Highlights include The Last Ride, the excellent Down On The Corner and Long Gone. Recommended to fans of the two bands mentioned above and curious Marr fans. Can't see many Smiths fans liking this though.

The Real People - 1997 Unreleased Demos

This is my second post by my second-favourite band, Liverpool's The Real People. Their sound around this era could be described as somewhere between Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and Cast (the band was actually friends with the two former bands). This brilliant collection is comprised entirely of songs recorded just after their second officially released album (What's On The Outside, well worth tracking down) that have, undeservedly, never been released. Highlights include Do Without It, Love In A Bag, Lets Kill The 90s and The Vicar. The only bad thing I have to say about this collection is the sound quality is patchy; however don't let that put you off as, in my opinion, the quality of the songs shine through. I made this artwork myself, quite pleased with it. Despite the sound quality, this is definitely worth a download for any fans of Britpop, especially the three bands mentioned above.

The Charlatans - 1994-04-04 - Live At The Tramway, Glasgow

The Charlatans are a brilliant band, one of my favourites, and I really don't know what took me so long to post something by them. This excellent quality gig (it was recorded by the BBC) was recorded in 1994, around my favourite period for the band. The setlist is only 8 songs long, but what it lacks in quantity it sure as hell makes up for in quality. More or less every song here is a classic, and this coupled with the excellent sound quality makes this a highly recommended download. I made this artwork myself, copy 'n' paste if you want it.
1.Up To Our Hips
2.Can't Get Out Of Bed
3.The Only One I Know
4.I Never Want An Easy Life If Me And He Were Ever To Get There

The La's - Kitchen Tape

This is a collection of La's demos from 1990-ish, just after their solitary album was released. None of the songs here have been officially released, which makes this a worthwhile donwload. Or it would, if it wasn't for the stumbling block that is the rather poor sound quality. This will put a lot of people off, although some of the songs have worse sound quality than others. It is very much listenable, but casual fans needn't bother. There is also a fair few failed takes of songs, but but despite these there are still 8 complete versions of songs; highlights include Was It Something I Said, I Am The Key, and Tears In The Rain. Only really recommended to serious La's fans, but to the initiated this is an excellent download.

Oasis - Noel Gets To The Point (Live 1997.12.04)

Another download from the mighty Oasis. This was a 'Liam-less' gig from 1997, at the height of the bands popularity. Due to Liam's absence, this gig is entirely sung by Noel, meaning rare Noel-sung versions of songs! The sound quality is excellent, as it is a soundboard recording. Highlights from this excellent set include Be Here Now, Magic Pie (yes, really!), D'You Know What I Mean (Acoustic) and Live Forever, although there is not a bad song here. This is one of my favourite bootlegs of all time, a great setlist and the different versions of well-known songs make this a near-essential download for any serious Oasis fan.
1 Be Here Now
2 My Big Mouth
3 Some Might Say
4 Roll With It
5 Magic Pie
6 Don't Look Back In Anger

The Beatles - Acoustic Submarine

Not really sure the details behind this compilation, but it's a collection of acoustic versions of songs from throughout their career. I assume these are just culled from various sessions, and I wouldn't be surpised if there is a bit of overlap with this and the Esher Demos compilation, posted previously. Again not managed to listen to these (although am gagging to!) so can't comment on sound quality or highlights. However, with this many legendary songs there are bound to be a few classics on here, which in my opinion makes this a worthwile download.

Cast - Two Of A Kind (The All Change Sessions)

Cast are a great band from Liverpool, who have recently reformed and will soon be releasing a new album. This comprehensive collection of demos dates from before their highly acclaimed debut album, 1995's All Change. Some great songs here as well as a healthy dose of ealy versions, B-sides and rare songs that never saw the light of day. Not been able to listen to this yet, but have heard some of the songs on another demo compilation I had. However, I imagine this is the most comprehensive collection that exists; I've never seen a better one. As a result, this would be recommended for any fans of Britpop, curious La's fans, and those who bought All Change but never dug any further. I made this artwork as there was none, quite happy with it. Also, I apologise that posts are becoming less frequent at the moment, can't get regular access to a computer so have been stockpiling and scheduling posts. Not been able to make enough for one a day in the time available, so there may be a few days soon with no posts, just a heads up. Finetime

The Coral - Locks And Keys

The Coral are a great, underrated band who have been going for over 10 years now. In that time they have released 6 studio albums and, as this collection showcases, recoded a lot more songs. This is made up of various demos, radio sessions and live performances, and must surely collect pretty much everything not commercially available that the band has done. Sound quality varies between songs, is good on demos and radio sessions but some of the live tracks are a bit worse (still very much listenable, though). Highlights of this exhaustive collection include Mirrors Collide, the demo of Pass It On and D'yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?, an Oasis cover. This collection is extremely rare, it's not on any other blogs and only ever seen it once anywhere online, on the excellent Bobjuice forums. This artwork (not made by me) comes included in the download. This is an essential package for any Coral fan, an absolute goldmine of rarities.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe Demos

Another early demo collection from the mighty Oasis, this being the last proper demo collection available until  the SOTSOG era (watch this space!). There are quite a few different demo collections labelled Definitely Maybe demos or sessions; I have a shorter version with a slightly different tracklisting on my computer. However, this seems to be the most comprehensive collection available, although I think there may be some tracks on the version I have that aren't on here so will look into that soon. All the tracks here are officially released in some form or another, so no real hidden gems unfortunately. This collection is made up of assorted demos, promos and alternative versions, and should be a worthwile download for any serious Oasis fan.
01 : Rock 'n' Roll Star (Instrumental Mix)
02 : Shakermaker (Demo)
03 : Live Forever (Demo)
04 : Sad Song (Different Mix)
05 : Cigarettes & Alcohol (Instrumental Mix)
06 : Alive (8 Track Demo)
07 : Columbia (White Label Demo)
08 : Supersonic (Instrumental Mix)
09 : Fade Away (Demo)
10 : Cigarettes & Alcohol (Demo)
11 : Slide Away (Instrumental Mix)
12 : Married With Children (Percussion Demo)
13 : Rock 'n' Roll Star (Longer Outro)
14 : Whatever (Original All The Young Dudes Ending Clip)
