Links: Radiohead Official Site essential for anyone with a passing interest in the band. Also Wikipedia Radiohead for 'history' that's reasonably reliable.

Comments: I had great pleasure in travelling up to Manchester, England, on the 29th June 2008, to see Radiohead perform at the 'Old Trafford Cricket Ground' an excellent venue for a truly remarkable concert.

Support band(s) 'Bats For Lashes' and on this specific tour occasion 'MGMT' were highly enjoyable.

Radiohead were in a league of their own, and worth every penny of the 300 miles round trip, hotel bills, and my son who seemed to have sealed pockets, every time someone asked for money.

Hey Ho that's the generation gap for you. This concert is on a par with the Manchester gig, and with personal memories, comes with mega recommendations.

Moby - Live In Australia 2005

A man of many musical talents, this is Moby performing on tour in 2005.

In fact I was surprised just how many different projects he has been involved in, and if you are curious yourself, check his Wikipedia entry HERE.

Moby undertook a number of festival gigs in 2005, and clearly by his comments, this was one of his favourites.

With a new album to promote that year the concert still included many of the audiences favorites as you will note from the set list below.

This then is Moby live on the 24th July 2005, at Byron Bay in Australia.

Set list recorded is:

01 - Find My Baby (4:04)
02 - Raining Again (3:53)
03 - Natural Blues (4:52)
04 - Go (4:15)
05 - Beautiful (3:33)
06 - Porcelain (4:23)
07 - We Are All Made Of Stars (3:48)
08 - Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad (4:43)
09 - You Shook Me All Night Long (3:47)
10 - 30 Second Speed Metal Song (1:01)
11 - Bodyrock (4:34)
12 - Lift Me Up (4:22)

The concert was broadcast on FM (stereo) which is the source of this recording.

Kraftwerk - Tokyo 1981

This is the second concert from Kraftwerk during their 1981 tour, to be featured on Beehive Candy.

The tour itself, was more or less divided into two parts.

The first tour started May 19th, 1981 at Apollo Teatro, Firenze in Italy and kept going until they had played in Bombay, India on September 25th.

Then they went back to Europe and enjoyed a small break until November 19th when they started a smaller tour with concerts mostly in Germany.

The last concert was held in the venue Zeppelin in Bremen, on December 14th. During the year 1981 Kraftwerk performed on more than 80 occasions in 16 countries.

This recording is from their performance in Tokyo, Japan at the Nakano Sun Plaza on the 7th September 1981.

It has been circulated I understand, as "Virtu ex Machina", and the set list (edited, however a large part of the show nonetheless) is as follows:

01 - Beethoven (Intro)
02 - Nummern
03 - Komputerwelt
04 - Komputerliebe
05 - Heimkomputer
06 - Neonlicht
08 - Schaufensterpuppen
09 - Trans Europa Express
10 - Die Roboter
11 - It's more fun to compute

The sound quality is extremely good (stereo soundboard or high quality FM)

Coldplay - Isle Of Wight 2006

Coldplay are one of those bands that seem to be loved or loathed with equal passion.

Perhaps the fact that the safe playing world of mainstream music radio, and it's need to rotate some of their early hits with annoying regularity has never helped, and of course the 'celebrity' interest also 'grates'.

That said musically they remain a highly distinct sounding band, and lets face it the music blogs are currently awash with articles on the release of the new album 'Viva La Vida'.

So for those of you, who like a little Coldplay, here is a copy of their 2006 appearance at the Isle Of Wight festival in England.

Set list:

1. Square One
2. Politik
3. Yellow
4. Speed Of Sound
5. What If
6. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
7. Don't Panic
8. White Shadows
9. The Scientist
10. Til Kingdom Come
11. Perfect Day (Lou Reed Cover)
12. Clocks
13. Talk
14. Swallowed In The Sea
15. In My Place
16. Fix You
(plus intro & outro radio chatter)

The quality is quite good - sourced as I understand, from the UK's Virgin Radio DAB output, so not as clean as stereo FM, but highly listenable.

Replacement link in downloads (21st November 2010).
