The Gaslight Anthem - 97X Green Room Acoustic Session 2008

[FM-Broadcast]

Besides posting stuff from all the "old heroes" I also wanna post more boots from "new" bands like the Earl Greyhound post not too long ago.... It's always good to find some fresh blood! New doesn't necessarily mean bad or trendy - there are a lot of bands who are combining a (more or less) fresh sound with what rock is (or should be!) all about...

The Gaslight Anthem is one of them! They are a band that some of you may have taken note of when Bruce Springsteen joined them on stage at the Glastonbury Festival. They say that Bruce Springsteen has been a big influence for them, but they are combining their New Jersey roots with the power of melodic punk rock and a lot of feeling in their music.

Today I'm gonna post two radio sessions they played last year. Actually, it's just their singer Brian Fallon - who has a great voice! - playing acoustic versions of the title track of their current album "The 59 sound" and an amazing cover version of "Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen (surprise!).

Check this out, you won't regret it!

Leo Sayer - Trenton, War Memorial Theater 1975

[FM-Broadcast]

As requested, here's another Leo Sayer show!

It's from the same era and again, the sound quality is great. It may be just due to the mix, but the band seems to rock a bit harder on this one. Like the show I posted previously, this one's also full of energy and a great listen! See for yourself if you prefer this one over the other or vice versa. I think both are great and worth checking out.

Enjoy!

01 - DJ Intro - Giving It All Away

02 - Oh Wot A Life

03 - Tomorrow

Neil Young - Farm Aid 2007

[FANTASTIC Audience]

Not too long ago I posted Neil's show from Farm Aid 2008, here's the one from the previous year! John Mellencamp introduces him as "one of the most terrific songwriters of our times" and who'd want to argue with that!? Not me!!!!

Neil played a really great and enjoyable set, he's also talking a lot about why he's supporting Farm Aid and seems to be in a good mood and happy to play the fest. Yeah, this one's great!

The sound is great, makes you feel as if you're among the crowd enjoying the great music. That's what you should do: Enjoy!!!

01 - Human Highway

02 - Silver & Gold

Otis Redding - West Hollywood, Whiskey A Go-Go, April 10th 1966 (Late Show)

[Soundboard]

Well, I like to post something a little bit different once in a while, so here's a great show by Otis Redding recorded in 1966 at the legendary Whiskey a go-go in Hollywood.

A lot of you probably think of Otis as another one of those laid back soul singers etc etc... You'll be surprised by this performance, it's full of energy and a lot of fun, very enjoyable indeed! He's even playing songs from The Beatles and the Stones!

There's some tape hiss on this one, but it doesn't spoil it. Let's say it makes it sound more authentic, after all this is 43 years old!!!! As always: Enjoy!!!

Tracklist:
01 - Intro
02 - Your One and Only Man
03 - Security
04 - Good to Me
05 - Respect
06 - Ole Man Trouble
07 - I Can't Turn You Loose
08 - A Hard Day's Night
09 - These Arms of Mine

John Mellencamp - Sessions At West 54th Street, Oct 2nd 1998

[TV-Broadcast]

After all the audio, it's time for another video! Here's a fine, energy filled TV-session from 1998! The kinda unusual setting fits the enthusiastic performance perfectly! I forgot to make a setlist, sorry. I'll post one later, but I remember that they kicked it off with "Lonely ol' night" and the last tracks are "Small town" and "Rain on the scarecrow".

Enjoy this video!!! By the way, I have seen a 28 mins version in some trader's list, so if you got that one already, get this one, too - it's five mins longer!!!

Update: Just watched it again, so here's the tracklist:
-Lonely ol' night
-Eden is burning
-Your life is now
-I'm not running anymore
-Ain't that America
-Small town
-Rain on the scarecrow

John Mellencamp - My Father's Place, Roslyn, NY, August 23rd 1979

[Soundboard]

A new month and here's even more Mellencamp for you... Some of you may already know this boot, it ciruclated quite a lot for a while. If you don't have it, get it now!

The sound quality has suffered a little throughout the years, sounds like a 2nd generation tape or something like that. In other words, the sound is not crystal clear, but still absolutely enjoyable. Definitely not a reason not to get this one! The performance is good and John seems to be in a good mood, too!

The pic above came with the boot (and was obviously chosen because the club this was recorded at is called "My father's place"), but I should point out that Harry (actually Harry Perry) Mellencamp was of course not John's father but his granddad. They had a very close relationship, he was the guy John turned to whenever he needed advice or someone to talk to until Harry died of lung cancer in 1983. This sad incident completely changed his father from being a dictator to a really nice guy, John recalled in an interview...

Enjoy!

Tracklist:
01 - Intro
02 - Night Dancin'
03 - Sugar Marie
04 - American Dream
05 - Tonight

Alice Cooper appears in new German commercials

Check this out:

Alice is the new "mascot" of Saturn, a German electronics store. The spots are shown on TV and in theatres. Check out the shitty voice they gave him when they dubbed this! Oh my....

Do the potential customers in Europe remember him? Well, some sure do, but a mayority??? I wouldn't bet on it! In other words, for most, especially younger people, he's just some eerie looking whacko appearing in these commercials....

Springsteen Interview added!

As promised I have also uploaded the Bruce Springsteen - Interview that was aired together with the Carhaix show I posted a few days ago. You'll find the link and more info here.

John Mellencamp - Carolina Shag

[Soundboard/FM-Broadcast]

More great music from John Mellencamp to kick off the day (I'll probably post some more stuff later today!)....

It's Halloween and everyone seems to post some very special Halloween stuff today so I decided to do everyone bothered by Halloween, Halloween posts etc etc a favor and stick to posting the same music I'd post on any other day of the year! This way you have the choice what to go for... All Hallow's Eve or just some good music!

....and good music is what you're gonna get. This is a silver bootleg from 1993 featuring both the Timothy White Session from 1991 as well as a show from Lincoln, Nebraska 1983. Two tracks from the latter where available on the "John's Garage" boot which is more or less the same as the "Welcome to the garage" boot I posted recently with different bonus tracks. Instead of just 2 you'll get 10 tracks here - enjoy!!!

Sound quality is excellent!

Oh yeah, please note the quite interesting set lists for both shows:

Tracklist:

01 - Get a leg up
02 - Carolina Shag
03 - Again tonight
04 - Love and happiness
05 - Under the boardwalk
06 - Cherry Bomb
07 - Cold sweat
08 - 30 Days in the hole

09 - Ain't even done with the night

10 - Thundering hearts
11 - Hand to hold on to
12 - Fire and water
13 - Hurts so good
14 - Jack and Diane
15 - Night dancing
16 - I think I'm really in love

17 - I need a lover

01-07: Timothy White Session 1991

08-17: Lincoln, Nebraska 1983

PLEASE NOTE: I have just noticed I have accidently named Track 16 "I need a lover", too. Don't worry, it IS "I think I'm really in love" - my bad! Just rename it and enjoy!

Bruce Springsteen - Carhaix, France, July 16th 2009 - Radio braodcast

[FM-Broadcast]

While all of the nice audience recording from Bruce's recent tour are circulating all over the internet and beyond (and really don't need to posted here again), I thought some of you maybe interested in a few pro recorded tracks, so here's this nice little thingy from France:
The French radio station France Inter broadcasted a special featuring Bruce Springsteen this summer. Except for the songs listed below, they did an half hour interview and talked about Bruce a lot and played some studio tracks.

I have stripped this recording of the intro and outro for two reasons:
-it's all in French (which I don't speak and according to my visitor statistics most of you don't speak French either!)
-AND because of the studio tracks they played, because they're available on official releases.

About the interview, it's dubbed in French, too but in case some of you may want it anyway, I have uploaded it, too so you can choose if you want the complete package or just the music!

The live tracks were recorded on the day mentioned above at the Les Vieilles Charrues Festival in Carhaix.



Tracklist:
- Outlaw Pete
- Out In The Street
- Working On A Dream
- Seeds
- Johnny 99

John Mellencamp - Deer Creek, Noblesville IN, July 4th, 1992

[Soundboard]

More quality rock music from John Mellencamp for you guys!

I bought the "Workingman's Rock & Roll" silver boot when it came out on "Royal Sound Music" back in the early nineties. I've enjoyed it ever since, but a few years ago I discovered a more complete version of the same show he played during the "Whenever we wanted" tour.

While the CD has 14 tracks only, here are 25 of them! I guess it's safe to assume that this is the complete show and it's another winner, be sure to grab this one if you're into Mr.Mellencamp's music! I think this version was available as a boot named "The 4th of July" for a while...

Neil Young and his Electric Band - New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, May 3rd 2009

[Audience]

Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, May 3rd 2009

Neil has played this year's New Orleans Jazz festival along with other "famous Jazz artists" like Bon Jovi and Kings of Leon. Nothing wrong with these bands, but just like Montreux, the term "Jazz Festival" seems to lose it's meaning....

Neil played on Sunday, the final day of the festival, before the Neville Brothers delivered the closing set (as every year btw!).

This is an audience recording, but a quite good one. Part of the set is electric, part of it is acoustic and he's also playing some songs from the "Fork..." album. Recommended!


Tracklist:
01 - Intro + Tuning
02 - Love And Only Love
03 - Hey Hey My My
04 - Are You Ready For The Country

Stones anyone? There's always room for another vintage Stones recording, isn't it? I'm not sure anymore when this boot was released, but I think I bought it in the late 80, s - must've been one of my first CD bootlegs, if not THE first I ever bought.

Anyway, that's not the only reason I like this one, it's really enjoyable and fun to listen to. The sound quality is quite good for a 40+ years old recording. Get it and enjoy!

You just can't go wrong with this guy! Here's another great silver boot from Johnny.

It says John Cougar on the cover although he was already calling himself John Mellencamp at that time. Also, the funny collage on the cover makes him look like he's either a very small guy or sitting on a giant car!!! Well, who cares, enjoy the fine music!!!!
