Image
If you are not a fan of The Black Crowes - Get Off of my blog !!! Well actually your welcome to stay, have a look around if you like, but expect some Black Crowes along the way! A pristine recording awaits, recorded at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on the 19th March 2006. An excellent venue for a rock'n'roll gig, not to big, so it gets hot, and you can get up close to the band.. This is the full concert. REPLACEMENT LINK IN DOWNLOADS BELOW OR CLICK ON THE PICTURE (21ST OCTOBER 2009). A little feed back is always appreciated, especially as I am sitting on some more Black Crowes treasure. You can buy The Black Crowes albums HERE . You can visit the official Black Crowes site HERE (it's excellent if you have not been there before get there now!).

Jeff Buckley - Liquid Room Tokyo 1995

This is Jeff Buckley live in japan in 1995. The audio quality on this concert is superb for an audience recording. The concert took place on January 30th 1995, and as far as I know was just one of two gigs he undertook in Japan. The full concert listing is as follows: 1. Dream Brother 2. Grace 3. So Real 4. Last Goodbye 5. What Will You Say 6. Lilac Wine 7. Mojo Pin 8. Eternal Life 9. Improvisation / Lover, You Should've Come Over (10. Vancouver) (11. Kanga-roo) 12. Hallelujah / I Know It's Over (Smiths cover). I am afraid that my copy of the gig does not include Vancouver and Kanga-roo. This was a wonderful concert. My life flies by. It is now over ten years since the tragic loss of Jeff Buckley, I still often wonder what may have followed if only... This is the last full concert bootleg of Jeff Buckley for a while on Beehive Candy, however more are planned to follow. I am in the process of going through 'one offs', studio rarities and so forth, and as time permi

Jeff Buckley - Arlene's Grocery - 1997

Image
Jeff Buckley was born in California's Orange County in 1966. He died in a tragic drowning accident on May 29 th 1997. He left one near perfect album, several live concerts recorded and released in full or part prior to, and/or after his death, and the material that may have lead eventually to a second 'proper' album. If you are a fan this leaves a void, that can never be filled. Sadly for an artist as talented as Jeff, the 'unofficial' recordings remain sadly few and far between. In away this is a good thing, as a badly recorded concert, would be such an injustice, to someone who was capable of such incredibly moving music, and never had the chance to expand definitively beyond his debut album. The bootlegs that I have of Jeff Buckley are few in number. I know of around fifteen, that are supposed to be of good quality, the live radio material seem to be those most widely circulated. This is my favorite. The copy I have was called 'The Grace Of J&#

Steely Dan - The Rainbow Finsbury Park London 1974

Image
Steely Dan - precise, cool, bluesy, jazzy, mature, thoughtful, clever, serious, catchy, timeless, flawless, and hopefully you get my drift. Steely Dan were one of the bands that taught a younger me, that there was much more to music than three chord rock anthems, or in them day's who looked the part. When I bought Pretzel Logic, it became my favorite album of the time. I obtained a copy of a 1994 concert a while back, and was impressed with how good they sounded. I went to see them in London in 1974, I even remember the hassle our driver had finding somewhere to park, and the subsequent frantic search for a bar, before the gig. Arriving at the venue, the foyer was a sea of faded denim, and hair, so many long haired blokes, it seemed the hippies were back, from memory it seemed a rather male audience. So when I obtained a boot of the show recently I have to say I was over the moon. I was almost nervous when I began to play it, hoping it was at least listenable, and looking for s

A Trip With The Beatles - Part Three

Image
The 'Get Back' or ' Twickenham sessions', took place in 1969. Paul McCartney, wanted to get The Beatles playing together again as opposed to just recording. It was an opportunity to help the band gel together again, have some fun, and maybe lead to some new live performances. It was also a chance for band members to share new material, some of which would surface later on solo albums. In the end the now legendary roof top performance, was all that was to happen, as public performance's go. The actual sessions were filmed, and each film reel was accompanied by a mono soundtrack. The soundtrack has surfaced in different forms down the years. Recently I acquired the full soundtrack set, from a generation of copies quite close to the originals (so the sound quality is very good). These copies are not broken down into individual songs, rather they are inclusive of what was included on the film reel in use. I will when time permits try and edit these down to songs, to
