The Verve - 2008-06-29 - Live At Glastonbury

This was one of The Verve's reunion gigs from 2008, headlining the Glastonbury festival.  It was broadcast by the BBC, meaning there is excellent sound quality on this one.  The setlist is only 12 songs, but there isn't a bad one among them: classic after classic after classic. The closest thing there is to a bad song here is Sit and Wonder, which is saying something! The band is on excellent form, with Ashcroft in full-blown frontman mode. The videos of their set are available on Youtube, and it looks like an incredible night, wish I was there! This excellent download comes recommended due to the setlist and sound quality.  Link is my own but found the excellent artwork on google.

Stereophonics - 2010-10-18 - Performance and Cocktails At The Hammersmith Apollo, London

This gig from last year was played to mark the re-issuing of Stereophonics' first two albums: this night saw 1999's Performance and Cocktails played in full, as well as B-sides from the era and a small greatest hits set at the end. A similar thing was done the previous night, only for Word Gets Around. I ripped all this audio from various Youtube videos, similar to my Arctic Monkeys Don Valley project, which means sound quality varies. All original uploaders are credited below and inside the download. However, a sizeable chunk of the setlist is either missing or the songs are cut: I would guess maybe half of the gig falls under these categories. However, the other half is excellent, with some great recordings of rare songs. Many of these have not been played live in years, and may never be played live again! As a result, this is well worth a download. Link and artwork are my own, enjoy!

Ian Brown - 1998-07-12 - Live At T In The Park

Another early Ian Brown gig, which are quite hard to come by, from the T In The Park Festival in 1998. Ian was promoting his debut solo album, Unfinished Monkey Business, and the setlist is made up entirely of songs from that as well as a cover of Hendrix's Little Wing. No Stone Roses songs would appear live for a fair few years, unfortunately! Your enjoyment of this will really depend on whether or not you like his debut album; his voice is not great here (even by his standards), although the sound quality is pretty good and clear. Link and artwork are my own.

Manic Street Preachers - 2011-01-27 - Live At The Miner's Institute, Blackwood

I'm not the biggest fan of the Manics admittedly, but they have released a lot of great songs over the course of their career and this gig showcases a lot of them. This gig, which was broadcast on the radio, was the band's first show in their hometown of Blackwood for over 25 years. The setlist contains their biggest hits alongside lesser known album tracks, such as the excellent Enola Alone, and songs from last year's excellent Postcards From A Young Man. Sound quality could not be any better, and this is worth getting for some of the rarer songs played. Link and artwork are my own.

Ride - Live Light

This excellent live recording dates from 1994 or 1995, although there seems to be speculation about what gig this recording is taken from. The setlist draws heavily from Carnival Of Light, the album that inspired this blog's name and design: 4 of the 10 tracks played are from that album, as well as two B-sides from the same era. Sound quality is very good. This is one of only two live recordings I know of from the 'post-shoegaze' era; the other, the Black Session, has already been posted here. If anyone knows of or has any more gigs from '94 onwards, please get in touch as I'd be very interested in hearing them. Link is my own, enjoy!

Travis - 1999-12-23 - Live At The Glasgow Barrowlands

Another great band who haven't featured on here yet are Travis, so here is one of a couple of bootlegs I have by them. There are a fair few recordings available online but they seem to be pretty clustered and are hard to find if you don't know where to look, so trying to spread them about a bit! This show, which was to promote The Man Who, would probably have been considered a homecoming show for the band, and it doesn't disappoint: probably my favourite Travis bootleg I own. The setlist is surprisingly long considering they only had two albums out at that point, 19 songs, which are made up of songs from their first two albums as well as their improbable cover of Britney Spears' Baby One More Time! Sound quality is very good audience although the crowd are fairly loud between songs and singing along. Link and artwork are my own, pretty pleased with the artwork. Another reminder that I am slowly but surely replacing other people's links on old posts with my own, so if there's anything you've seen but couldn't download before it's worth looking again. If I haven't got round to replacing the link yet then let me know and I'll prioritise that one above others.

Primal Scream - 2005-06-26 - Live At Glastonbury

Not posted anything by Primal Scream on here yet, but they're an excellent band with some great songs so it's about time! When I first downloaded this I had no idea, but a quick visit to Youtube told me this was a notorious gig, with Bobby Gillespie insulting the crowd and being escorted from the stage at the end. The set is slightly shambolic in places, with City being restarted and Bobby talking during the full version, but this is still worth having due to the excellent sound quality (I think it was broadcast by the BBC) and the excellent setlist: Rocks, Jailbird, Movin' On Up and the aforementioned City, some of my favourite Scream songs, are wheeled out here. Link and artwork are my own, enjoy!

The Rolling Stones - 1973-10-17 - Live At The Foret National, Brussels

I am no expert when it comes to Stones live stuff, but from what I can gather this is considered to be one of the best recordings of them available. Would like a few more though, so if anyone has any recommendations please let me know! This gig took place when they were (in my opinion) at their peak, and this is reflected in the quality of the setlist. Sound quality is very good, especially for the time, and the band are on fire. Great, worthwhile download for anyone. Link is my own, found the artwork somewhere online though.

Beady Eye - 2011-10-07 - Live At The Atlantico, Rome

Another recent Beady Eye recording, from almost exactly a month ago. This gig is notable for being the live debut of both World Outside My Room (which is, oddly, the opening song) and the excellent In The Bubble With A Bullet. The band play well, although Liam is starting to cut some of the notes a bit short like on the last Oasis tour (thankfully not nearly as bad as then though) and sound quality is good. The gig was recorded by a guy called Alessio, so all credit must go to him. The excellent artwork above was made by JohNLiaM. Link is my own.

Blur - 1999-03-15 - Live At The Hippodrome, London

This is one of only a couple of Blur gigs I have, however is probably the best in terms of sound quality. It is a soundboard recording that was apparently done for the BBC, and as a result is one of the more commonly found Blur bootlegs. The 15-song setlist is very 13 heavy, which may be a good or bad thing based on your taste, as well as a few songs from Leisure and Blur. None of their mid-90s hits (Parklife, Country House) are here although there is Beetlebum and Song 2 which more than makes up for this in my opinion. Artwork and link are my own.

Ocean Colour Scene - 1999-10-28 - Live At The NIA, Birmingham

This seems to be one of the most common OCS boots online, but thought I would stick it up anyway. This is a homecoming gig which would've been from when they were touring in support of One From The Modern, released the same year. The setlist is a healthy 20 songs long, and incorporates all their best known songs, as well as a couple off One From The Modern and a cover of the Small Faces' All Or Nothing. Sound quality is good, very much listenable. Link and artwork are my own. Also, I am in the process of adding my own links to old posts where I used other people's, which will no doubt take a while but will mean links that are currently dead will be resurrected! Starting at the start and moving through, replacing a couple of links for The Verve and The Seahorses tonight.

Babyshambles - Stookie + Jim Bumfest Demos

Some more Babyshambles demos for you all, this being a collection of acoustic recordings from about 2007 (I presume, as most of the songs here appeared on Shotter's Nation). I prefer these to the Whitechapel demos posted before as both the sound quality and standard of songs played are better, in my opinion. Worth a download as it's a chance to hear acoustic versions of some well known songs including the excellent Delivery and Carry On Up The Morning. The artwork (which I'm pretty happy with) and link are both my own. This post is dedicated to Billy Sharp, who bravely played for the mighty Doncaster Rovers last night after the tragic death of his two year old son two days previously.

Arctic Monkeys - Top Marks For Not Trying

I had a bit of Arctic Monkeys stuff knocking about that wasn't really worth posting by itself as there was only 5 or so tracks in each collection, so I cobbled them together to form this compilation, similar to the Proud Mary album I made a while back. This and Beneath The Boardwalk cover all the material never officially released up until 2008, although I'm not sure any other songs have surfaced since then anyway. This is made up of the Favourite Worst Nightmare Demos, the songs on the Covers Mixtape that were not officially released, and three other unreleased tracks that have never really been compiled anywhere: Wagon On The Way To The Stripey Tent, Put Me In A Terrorpocket and Sandtrap. All the tracks here are from around the Favourite Worst Nightmare era, hence the band logo used in the artwork I made. Basically, think of this as Beneath the Boardwalk part 2. This is exclusive to the blog, and in my humble opinion very much worth a download to help complete your Arctic Monkeys collection. Link is my own.

Tracks 1,5 and 11 ripped from various Youtube videos.
Tracks 2,4,6,7,8 and 12 from Favourite Worst Nightmare Demos.
Tracks 3,9,10 and 13 from the Covers Mixtape.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 2011-10-23 - Live At The Olympia, Dublin

This is the first ever gig played by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, and as a result is a worthwhile addition to anyone's collection, for the historical significance if nothing else. The 20-song setlist (which has been played at every gig so far) does not disappoint, with a healthy dose of Oasis classics amongst his excellent new songs. There is also a brilliant unreleased song played called Freaky Teeth, although it isn't clear if this will ever be released officially. Until then, this will have to do! This recording is admittedly not the best quality (the best of the three gigs available online is Edinburgh, which will be posted either here or on Pick A Part That's new in future), however as I said it's still worth a download just to say you have it! The gig was originally recorded and put on Youtube by Johnky, although ordahlen converted the audio to MP3 and posted a link, which is how I got hold of it, so credit must go to both of them. The excellent artwork was done by JohNLiaM, although the link here is my own.

Shed Seven - One Hand Clapping: The Unreleased Demos 2001-2003

Shed Seven were a much-maligned band from the Britpop era, but (surprise surprise) I like them. They had some great songs, especially on their last album, Truth Be Told. This came out a few years after they split (although the band has now reformed and is touring) and the songs here probably would've gone on to make up their 5th studio album. This was officially released, but in very small quanitities, making it pretty rare. Good collection of songs, worth a download. Link is my own.

Embrace - 2000-05-29 - Live At The Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton

I'm a big fan of Embrace, but live stuff is rarer than rocking horse shit; I only have two gigs, both from 2000. This gig would've been promoting Drawn From Memory, their excellent second album. No clue where I originally got this as had it for a couple of years now. The sound quality here is very good and the setlist is exceptional, although I am biased as I much prefer their earlier stuff. Link and artwork are both my own. This is worth a download as hey, you're not gonna find many other Embrace bootlegs!

The Stone Roses - 1989-06-03 - Live At The Walsall Junction

With the news the Roses are reforming the other day, it'd be rude not to post something by them! So here is another classic 1989 gig, from just before the legendary Empress Ballroom show (which can also be found on this blog). Indeed, some people prefer this show to the Blackpool one. This is quite a well-known boot but I couldn't find it anywhere so had to rip the audio from Birtles20's excellent youtube channel, check it out at http://www.youtube.com/user/Birtles20 Sound quality is excellent and the band are on great form, so this comes recommended. The the link is mine but found the artwork on Google so not sure whose it is, just chopped it down to fit in iTunes.

Taken a while to get round to posting anythig by the 'Phonics, but live stuff is hard to come by as the Word Gets Around forum seems to be closed. I have a couple of gigs which I will upload in future, but decided to do this one first as never seen it anywhere else. I found this on soulseek in flac form ages ago, and converted it to mp3. Sound quality is excellent, think this may have been an official broadcast although not sure. Link and artwork are my own.

The Real People - 1998 Demos

This excellent collection of demos is just one of the many I own, more of which will be posted in future. However this is probably my favourite collection of demos, up there with '97 (already posted) and '99 (will be posted in future!). Had this for a long time and listened to it many times, and I'm confident that had these songs been officially released as an album it would be up there with my all-time favourites. Sound quality is pretty good, better than the 1997 demos. Strongly recommended to anyone. Link and artwork are my own.

Paul Weller - 1996-08-18 - Live At V96

This is an excellent Weller gig from 1996, at the very first V Festival. The setlist is 20-odd songs featuring guest appearances from both Noel Gallagher and Ocean Colour Scene. This, for me, is right when Paul was at the height of his powers and as a result this is pretty much my dream Weller setlist! I originally got this from the ridiculously good Paul's Bootique blog, although uploaded my own link. The excellent artwork you see above is by Marco, although I chopped it down a bit to stick on iTunes. Sound quality here is pretty good, no complaints. Definitely worth a download for fans of Weller's mid-90s output.

RPA And The United Nations Of Sound - 2010-06-05 - Live In Ancona

This is a gig from last year that Richard Ashcroft did with his ill-fated United Nations Of Sound project. However, this setlist includes a decent number of Verve and solo classics, which in my opinion makes it worth downloading. The only real downsides are the quality of some of his newer songs and the overblown drum sound heard on a couple of songs. Sound quality here is very good. The artwork and link are my own.

Heavy Stereo - B-Sides and Singles

Another Heavy Stereo post, and unless any live shows surface it'll be the last: if you own this and Deja Voodoo (I posted that a few months back) you own everything the band has ever done, apart from their Jam cover (The Gift) which featured on a Jam tribute album. This is comprised of two non-album singles (Sleep Freak and Smiler), their B-sides and the B-sides to their album singles as well. Got this compilation a while ago but can't remember where from, think it may have been the sadly deceased ABC Afterglow blog. Anyway I made this artwork to accompany it and hosted my own link, so enjoy!
