Neil Young: Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 1971

Neil Young Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 1971 Reprise One reason to get off your Spotify account is Neil Young! And by that I don’t mean to follow his lead, necessarily. I just mean you’re going to need to do that, at least occasionally, to keep up with Young, who is still releasing at least two records […]

Prince: Tokyo Dome 1990

Prince Tokyo Dome 1990 Timeline In 1990, Prince’s Nude Tour was an interesting culmination of the various live experiences he had offered to date; it wasn’t quite a pivot, but then it wasn’t really ever in celebration of either of his recently released studio albums. Yeah, you could hear a track or two from both […]

Shit That’s Good! Crap Albums I Love # 47 – Elvis Presley “Elvis’ Greatest Shit”

Elvis Presley, Elvis’ Greatest Shit, 1982 Elvis Presley. The King. It was actually a 1987 compilation of hits (and some weird choices too) that was my proper introduction to Elvis – so I’ve got a bit of a thing for the slightly weirder collections and the oddball albums. I love the hits. The classic concert […]

Bonnie Raitt: Rainbow Room Blues – Philly Broadcast ‘72

Bonnie Raitt Rainbow Room Blues: Philly Broadcast ‘72 Smokin’ Badger Yet another in the tumbling pile of live bootlegs taken from radio station broadcasts. These unofficial albums sometimes feel truncated and have patchy sound – even then they’re interesting. But sometimes you really feel like a jackpot’s been hit – as with this brilliant live […]

Bob Dylan: The Best of The Bootleg Series

Bob Dylan The Best of The Bootleg Series Columbia / Legacy We used to talk about Bob’s Never Ending Tour 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, only Covid could postpone it. And somewhere in there another anniversary started to pile up. The Bootleg Series. A three volume set of rarities was boxed-up to blow minds […]

Little Feat: Meanest Blues of All (Live 1973)

Little Feat Meanest Blues of All (Live 1973) Second Line This bootleg has been knocking around in various forms ever since there was digital music – and probably in some shape or form before that. Most recently it’s being credited to Lowell George solo rather than the band Little Feat but make no mistake this […]

Neil Young: Young Shakespeare

Neil Young Young Shakespeare Reprise Neil Young is really cleaning out his closet of late – another big box-set from his archives (Vol. II) finally arrived after many years of chat. And Way Down In The Rust Bucket was very recently released too. That’s a Crazy Horse gig from 1990.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse: Way Down In The Rust Bucket

Neil Young & Crazy Horse Way Down In The Rust Bucket Reprise This version and era of Crazy Horse is well-represented by official live albums – but Neil Young fans have loved passing around a bootleg of this particular show, now available officially as part of the never-ending story that is Neil Young’s Archives.

Sun Ra: Haverford College, Jan. 25, 1980 (Solo Rhodes Piano)

Sun Ra Haverford College, Jan. 25, 1980 (Solo Rhodes Piano) Enterplanetary Koncepts Sun Ra has become shorthand for a kind of controlled chaos – exploratory in the extreme. Herman Poole Blount – aka Le Sony’r Ra or “Sun Ra” was a person, but Sun Ra wasn’t just a musician, Sun Ra was a kind of […]

The Tremeloes: Moonlight Hour (Live 1970)

The Tremeloes Moonlight Hour (Live 1970) Hatbox The Tremeloes, probably Dagenham’s second finest. Which, given the number of good things that either came from or went to Essex is not bad really. Of all the British beat-groups that still get remembered The Tremeloes are nearly one.

Leonard Cohen: The Moon’s Too Bright

Leonard Cohen The Moon’s Too Bright: Los Angeles ’93 Syndicated Broadcast Second Line In 1993 Leonard Cohen embarked on his first tour since 1988 – he had the album The Future out and he had songs on the soundtrack to Natural Born Killers. In short: he was back on boogie street.

Billy Cobham: Live in Montreux (Live 1987)

Billy Cobham Live in Montreux (Live 1987) Lo-Light Records / Billy Cobham Billy Cobham – what a fucking player. He spun my head right around – that single disc greatest hits of his solo records, man. What a life-changer. When it comes down to it, so much of fusion leaves me cool but I could […]
