Sinead O'Conner - Live Vredenburg - Utrecht - Holland

This is Sinéad O'Connor Live in concert at Vredenburg, Utrecht, in the Netherlands.

The concert took place on March 16, 1988, and was also broadcast on FM. Sound quality is excellent, as was the performance, it's a must have for any Sinead fan.

Her first album The Lion and the Cobra was "a sensation" when it was released in 1987 and it reached gold record status and earned a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. The single "Mandinka" was a big college radio hit in the United States, and "I Want Your (Hands on Me)" received both college and urban play in a remixed form that featured rapper MC Lyte.

In her first US network television appearance, O'Connor sang "Mandinka" on Late Night with David Letterman in 1988. The single "Troy" was also released as a single in the UK and Ireland.

Set List:

01 Jackie

03 Never Get Old
04 Just Like U Said It Would Be

The Doors - Live - Isle Of Wight - 1970

Known as 'Palace Of Exile' this bootleg is in a class of it's own.

The Doors played not long after midnight, whoever took the time to record this to such a high standard, and those who have ensured that the quality of the recording has remained until today deserve some thanks to say the least.

Considering this boot was recorded thirty seven years ago, it remains a fine quality recording, and really does justice to the highlight of that years Isle of Wight festival.

The art work in the picture contains front and back CD covers. I am not sure of the origins of these, and if they have any resemblance to the early vinyl boots in circulation, however Jim Morrison was certainly sporting the beard etc, at that time.

The gig was recorded live at the 3rd Isle Of Wight Festival at Afton Farm, Freshwater. Commencing at 12:05 am on Sunday, 31st August, 1970. This is a soundboard recording.


Set List:

1 Back Door Man 4:38
2 Break On Through 4:50
3 When The Music's Over 11:27
4 Ship Of Fools 7:22
5 Roadhouse Blues 5:31
6 Light My Fire 13:45
7 The End / Across The Sea / Away In India / Crossroads / Wake Up / The End 14:11

Line Up:

Drums – John Densmore
Guitar – Robby Krieger
Keyboards – Ray Manzarek
Vocals – Jim Morrison

The Black Crowes - Live In London

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.

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 permits will upload these shortly (some more real gems to share).

Official material HERE, in the Beehive Candy Store.

Finally I am after any standard of recording of Jeff Buckley's gig at CBGB's, NYC, December 18, 1993. If you can help - thank you...
