BEEHIVE CANDY

Ultra Rare Trax Volumes One and Two may well have been the first two Beatles boot CD's released in Europe. They had previously been on vinyl and allegedly originates from master tapes "borrowed" from Abbey Road, which obviously upset some EMI exec's. Released by prolific bootleggers Swinging Pig records on CD and made in Luxembourg, they were certainly in circulation by 1988. These are a selection of studio outtakes, and similar to material released on the official Anthology series. They are another piece of Beatles history, and make fascinating listening. Volume One track list is: 1. I Saw Her Standing There (take two) 2. One After 909 (take two) 3. She's A Women (take two) 4. I'm Looking Through You (take one) 5. If You've Got Trouble (take one) 6. How Do I Do It (take two) 7. Penny Lane (take nine) 8. Strawberry Fields Forever (take 26) 9. From Me To You (take two) 10. Besame Mucho (1962 Pete Best on drums) 11. The Fool On The Hill (demo take one) 12. P

You may have gathered from comments elsewhere on this blog, that I am a fan of Lucinda Williams music. I was therefore delighted when I first heard this concert, I will spare you the gushing superlatives, and just say it compliments the official release 'Live at The Fillmore' recorded later the same year. This was the first part of the press release, regarding the following show. 'Bono has been confirmed to host the debut of the new, nationally syndicated Lost Highway Radio Show, which is scheduled to air in late August. The Lost Highway Radio Show will feature one artist per each hour-long program, recorded live in concert. The kickoff program will feature a special 90-minute concert from Lucinda Williams, recorded at New York's Bowery Ballroom on May 27, 2003 '. It is an excellent concert! Set List: 1-Car Wheels on a Gravel Road 2-Fruits of My Labor 3-Those Three Days 4-Blue 5-Still I Long For Your Kiss 6-Ventura 7-Something About What Happen

I did not realise just how long ago Bob Marley passed away, until preparing this piece. Probably because some of his music is still often heard playing, either on the radio or TV, and the fact that time does indeed seem to fly by ever faster, whatever the case, sadly aged just 36, he passed on in 1981. Bob Marley played his final concert at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA, on September 23rd, 1980. The live version of 'Redemption Song' on 'Songs of Freedom' was recorded at this show. Afterwards he sought medical help from Munich specialist Josef Issels however sadly his illness was beyond cure at this stage. Songs performed are as follows: 01. Natural Mystic 02. Positive Vibration 03. Burnin' & Lootin' 04. Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) 05. The Heathen 06. Running Away 07. Crazy Baldhead 08. War No More Trouble 09. Zimbabwe 10. Zion Train 11. No Woman No Cry 12. Jammin' 13. Exodus 14. Redemption Song 15. Comin

Kate and Anna McGarrigle were singers, musicians and songwriters with a well earned international reputation. They have performed to critical and popular acclaim throughout North America, Europe and the Far East. Their albums have earned 'record of the year status and awards' from the likes of Melody Maker, Stereo Review, the New York Times along with many others. And songs they have composed have been widely recorded by other artists, including Maria Muldaur, Linda Ronstadt, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris, Billy Bragg, and Nana Mouskouri. Ever since I first heard them some thirty two years ago, I have been an unashamed fan, and I guess I can blame them in part, for my love of music sung in French. This is a concert recorded live at Red Creek Cabaret, Rochester, NY, USA, in June 1984. Both Linda Ronstadt, and Maria Muldaur guested on some of the songs. Set List: As Fast As My Little Feet Can Carry Me Complainte Pour Ste. Catherine Nacl The Work Song * Heart L

This is Eric Clapton during the first leg of his 1985 Behind the Sun - North American Tour. During the mid 1980's, Eric Clapton recorded two albums produced by Phil Collins, and spent much of that period touring. Having overcome his addictions, his performances were fresh and energised, as this concert demonstrates. The concert was recorded at the Civic Center, Hartford, Connecticut (United States) on the 1st May 1985. Set List: Tulsa time Motherless children I shot the sheriff Same old blues Blues power Tangled in love She's Waiting Wonderful tonight Lay down Sally Badge Let it rain Cocaine Forever Man Layla Band line up: Eric Clapton - Guitar, Vocals Donald 'Duck' Dunn - Bass Tim Renwick - Guitar Chris Stainton - Keyboards Jamie Oldaker - Drums Marcy Levy - Backing Vocals Shaun Murphy - Backing Vocals This is a good quality stereo recording - not sure of the source, some editing suggests FM radio.

Courtney Love may be the stuff of celebrity and show business gossip these days, she certainly seems to have found her own personal 'self destruct' switch, and flicked it a few times. All of which can easily overshadow the fact that with the band Hole , she recorded some good alternative rock songs along the way, some even Grammy award nominated. Live Hole were more than capable of being the 'grunge' act, however their 'rough' and sometimes 'edgy' sound, was more than complemented by some tight and professional musicianship. In June 1994 just four months before this recording, Hole appeared at the Reading Festival in England. Legendary British DJ John Peel wrote the following about that particular day: "Courtney's first appearance backstage certainly caught the attention. Swaying wildly and with lipstick smeared on her face, hands and, I think, her back, as well as on the collar of her dress, the singer would have drawn whistles of astonishment

This is Rod Stewart live at The Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow, Scotland recorded on June 18th 1983. Ibrox Stadium is home to Rangers Football Club (FC), Rod is a supporter of their bitter rivals Celtic FC, however his popularity in Scotland ensured he was well received at this venue. Rod has been an ambassador of the Scottish (national) Football Team down the years, and not surprisingly has played the game regularly himself, and is known to kick footballs into the audience at concerts. This is from his Body Wishes tour, and is limited to an FM broadcast of the show, featuring the opening two numbers, and the latter part of the concert. Set List: 1. Tonight I'm Yours 2. Sweet Little Rock n Roller 3. Dancin' Alone 4. Tonight's The Night 5. Passion 6. She Won't Dance With Me/Little Queenie 7. Sweet Surrender 8. I Don't Want To Talk About It 9. You're In My Heart 10. Maggie May 11. Sailing Sound Quality: Very good FM stereo. Some Rod Stewart and T

This is Janis Joplin live in Honolulu, USA, on the 6th July 1970. Sadly she would only perform nine further concerts after this, and died aged 27 on the 4th October 1970. She was with out doubt, one of the most popular and influential singers of the sixties and is considered to be one of the greatest female rockers of all time. This is a complete & unedited concert by Janis Joplin with Full Tilt Boogie, recorded through the soundboard (stereo quality @ 160kbs). Janis is in incredible form, her interaction with the audience and the whole concert is just wonderful. This is in my opinion an absolute must for any fan, and even those of you, with just a passing interest. Set List: 1-Tell Mama. 2-Half Moon. 3-Move Over. 4-Stage Problems. 5-Maybe. 6-Summertime. 7-Janis Banter. 8-Get It While You Can. 9-Kozmic Blues. 10-Encore Break. 11-Piece of My Heart. Much has been written about Janis Joplin since her passing, however her music remains as vibrant and timeless

This is from the tour promoting the band's last album to date, 1992's That What Is Not. John Lydon disbanded the group a year later after Virgin records refused to pay for the tour supporting the album and Lydon had to pay for it out of his own pocket. As far as I know John Lydon still considers the band to be on hiatus. This boot often goes under the name 'Rotten To The Core' whatever the name, this is one stonking performance. Performing in Finland at the Provinnssi Rock Festival on the 6th June 1992, - this is a full stereo soundboard recording (@192kbs). The gig consists of: 01. This Is Not A Love Song 02. Criminal 03. Love Hope 04. Think Tank 05. Rules & Regulations 06. Acid Drops 07. Cruel 08. Don't Ask Me 09. Body 10.

This is The Clash Live at the Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, California, on the 29th October 1982. They were the main support act for The Who on this occasion, whilst supporting them across the USA predominately in large arena's and stadiums. This was around the time that the band begun to suffer from a lot of 'internal wrangling' partly as Topper Headon had been replaced by Terry Chimes on drums, and probably due to the toll of constant touring and album recording. This remains however a very cohesive and solid performance, and the audio quality is spot on (stereo soundboard). Set List: 01. London Calling 02. Police On My Back 03. The Guns of Brixton 04. This Is Radio Clash 05. Spanish Bombs 06. Rock the Casbah 07. The Magnificent Seven/Armagideon Time/The Magnificent Seven 08. Janie Jones 09. Train In Vain 10. Tommy Gun 11. Clampdown 12.

Brian Wilson is one of a very few number of artists, that I feel comfortable about being referred to as, a musical legend or the like. It's not just the fact that he overcame his personal health difficulties, that kept him out of the music scene for so long, that gives him the right to such accolades. For me it is the music. Pure and simple, just that - the music. His contribution to the Beach Boys legacy in recent years, and the stunning recreation of so many classics live, along with some newer material, has been the proverbial 'breath of fresh air' popular music so often begs for. This is Brian Wilson at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark in 2005. The annual Roskilde festival has a number of synergies with the UK's Glastonbury festival amongst others, their web site is well worth a visit, I wonder if getting tickets is just as difficult? Therefore it is no suprise that he played Glastonbury just a few days earlier, as part of the Smile tour from that year.
