Bonnie Raitt - Wolf Trap 1977

Image
This is Bonnie Raitt live at Wolf Trap (1645 Trap Road , Vienna , Virginia 22182 USA), way back on the 20th July 1977. However a CD version of this gig, gives Washington DC as the location, and puts the show back a month to August. You can often spot a money orientated boot, I guess that was one, however keeping with the Beehive Candy tradition, we share free every time, and withdraw any material if officially requested (we occasionally like to restate that fact, out of personal interest) . Source: WLIR-FM Broadcast Reel Master (digital copy). Sound Quality: Extremely good stereo MP3 @192kbps. Genre: Blues, Country, and Rock (unique crossover of styles). Set: Full set (sorry cannot confirm). Set List: 01 Concert Introduction 02 What Do You Want The Boy To Do 03 Under The Falling Sky 04 Walk Out The Front Door 05 My Opening Farewell 06 Love Has No Pride 07 Kokomo - Walking Blues 08 Give It Up Or Let Me Go 09 Women Be Wise 10 Too Long At The Fair 11 About

Jeff Buckley - Live In Hamburg 1995

Image
It has been well over a year since Jeff Buckley last appeared on this site, my love for his music has not diminished. I guess in a way it's cyclical, time goes by, and for all types of reasons I am drawn back to playing one of his albums or songs. Because Jeff has already appeared a number of times on the Beehive, it has been easy to put this to one side, also some of the tracks can be streamed on Last FM. However this is a great concert recording, and with Jeff's passing almost twelve years ago (one month from now), lets remember him again as he was, a fabulous artist, a joy to listen to. This is Jeff Buckley recorded live at the Logo Club in Hamburg, Germany, on the 22nd February, 1995. Source: Pre FM (DAT clone). Sound Quality: Very good stereo quality. Genre: Alternative Rock, Folk, Singer songwriter. Set: Full Set. Set List: 01 -Announcer Intro 02 -Dream Brother 03 -So Real 04 -Last Goodbye 05 -What Will You Say 06 -Lilac Wine 07 -Mojo Pin 08 -Grace 09 -Eternal Life

The Beat - Live in Amsterdam 1980

Image
Known in the USA as The English Beat, and elsewhere simply as The Beat , this is the band live at the excellent concert venue, The Paradiso in Amsterdam, Holland, on this occasion back in 1980. One of the original 2 Tone bands, The Beat along with the likes of The Specials, helped revive Ska in the UK, and appealed to many who had got back in to music, through punk and new wave. Source: FM radio broadcast (Sorry not much info accompanied this boot) . Sound Quality: Very good FM stereo mp3 @320kbps. Genre: 2 Tone, Ska, Reggae, New Wave. Set: Most of set, however may have been edited for broadcast (total Playing Time 44:34). Set List: 1.Two Swords. 2.Tears Of A Clown. 3.Twist And Crawl. 4.Rough Rider. 5.Mirror In The Bathroom. 6.Best Friend. 7.Whine And Grine / Stand Down Margaret. 8.Noise In This World. 9.Big Shot. 10.Hands Off She's Mine. 11.Jackpot. 12.Click Click. 13.Ranking Full Stop.

Tom Waits - My Fathers Place - 1977

Image
This is Tom Waits live at Club Roslyn, Long Island, New York, USA, or as the venue is more affectionately remembered 'the homely and homey music club - My Fathers Place' (at 19 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn) . Indeed it is easier to talk about the venue than to know where to start with Tom Waits. I know I often use this as a get out clause, and I will unashamedly do so again now. For fans this is a must have recording, for those not familiar with Thomas Alan Waits, this captures said gentleman some 32 years ago, with the 'bourbon soaked' voice, on fine form at a wonderful venue. Source: Pre FM copy of WLIR recording. Sound Quality: Extremely good stereo MP3 @192kbps. Genre: Should be a personal genre called Tom Waits, however he ranges across, Jazz, Rock, Blues, Folk, Experimental, and we can throw in Vaudeville for good measure. Set: Possibly full set, cannot confirm (track numbered from 2 CD version) . Set List: 01 Standin' On The Corner

The Pretenders - Live In Amsterdam 1980

Image
I remember Chrissie Hynde from her days writing for the NME (New Musical Express - UK weekly publication) back in the mid 1970's. It was only a matter of time before her musical ambitions came to fruition, and after a couple of false starts, she eventually surfaced in late 1978 with a very up and ready band called The Pretenders . Their debut album remains a firm favorite of mine, it has that timeless feel that great songs and albums have, no logical reason and maybe just a state of mind. To come across a live concert boot (31st May 1980 to be precise) from that era obviously made my day. Source: Stereo radio broadcast (off air recording). Sound Quality : Extremely good MP3 @320kbps. Genre: Post Punk, New Wave, Indie Pop/Rock. Set: Radio edit, most likely majority of the gig, (total playing time 51:39). Set List: 1. The Wait. 2. Precious. 3. Talk of the town. 4. Cuban slide. 5. Private life. 6. Space invader. 7. I go to sleep. 8. Brass in pocket. 9. Ki

Lucinda Williams - Live in Switzerland 2007

Image
This is another superb live recording of Lucinda Williams , on this occasion in Basel, Switzerland, at the Festsaal Messe, AVO session on the 13th November 2007. Although Lucinda was promoting her 'West' album at the time she covered a range of other earlier material, that for me, seems a great introduction for anyone unfamiliar with one of the foremost modern country rock or alternative country artists. Source: FM stereo live broadcast on DRS3 radio Switzerland Sound Quality: Very good FM Stereo DAT conversion. Genre: Alt Country, Folk, Rock. Set: Full live performance see notes below. Set List: 01 Passionate Kisses (Broadcast started during the second part of opening number) 02 The night's too Long 03 Crescent City 04 Sweet Old World 05 Pineola (fade out) ** 06 (fade in) Pineola ending 07 talks with the audience 08 Lake Charles 09 Car Wheels on a Gravel Road 10 Can't Let Go 11 Steal Your Love (fade out) ** 12 Essence 13 Righteously - band intro 14 Real Live

Catatonia - Live and in Session 1998

Image
I remember seeing Catatonia in London back in 2000, they were really entertaining, and new how to play live, this recording was therefore a pleasure to get hold of. Performing at The Newport Centre, Gwent, in Wales, on Thursday 26th March 1998, Catatonia were on this occasion supporting Travis (Idlewild were also on the bill), nonetheless they played a full set. Also included is material from a BBC Radio One session. Source: FM Stereo recording. Sound Quality: Very good mp3 @192kbps.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Amsterdam 1983.

Image
This is the second of five mainland European dates The Sisters Of Mercy performed, during their 'Trans Europe Excess Tour'. The band who started performing live in 1981, had already developed a strong following with several independent single and EP releases, often being 'hailed' in the UK indie press of that time. Playing at the excellent venue The Paradiso, Amsterdam, on the 28th August 1983, this boot has apparently also circulated as 'Napalm Gods', 'Possession', and 'Live In Amsterdam', along with this copy entitled 'Beware The Ghost'. Source: Sound board recording. Sound Quality: Very good stereo mp3 @ 320kbps. Genre: Post punk, Gothic Rock. Set: Majority of concert (cannot confirm if full set). Set List: 1. Burn. 2. Valentine. 3. Anaconda. 4. Heartland. 5. Alice. 6. Emma. 7. Temple of Love. 8. Floorshow. 9. Adrenochrome. 10. Gimme Shelter. 11. Kiss the Carpet. 12. Body Electric. 13. Lights. 14.

Cocteau Twins - Live Black Session 1994

Image
The Cocteau Twins are one of my all time favorite acts. I will resist the inclination to give an over the top and gushing review and just say, for any fan this is a must have. For anyone not familiar with them, and at the risk of being accused of musical heresy, their recorded material is a much better starting point, then you will just want more, and settle for any bootleg, bearing in mind the principle that one persons pleasure, is another's poison... Live on the 4th February 1994, this is Cocteau Twins live in studio 105. Source: Live 'Black Session' recorded for France Inter (French radio station) in Paris, Maison de la Radio, Studio 105, (with studio audience). Sound Quality: Very good FM stereo @192kbps mp3. Genre: Dream pop / Ambient (1986-1997), Ethereal (1983-1986), Gothic rock / Post-punk (1979-1983). Set: This is the full studio concert. Set List: 01 - Pur 02 - Road River and Rail 03 - Bluebeard 04 - Heaven or Las Vegas 05 - Whales Tail

Golden Earring - Live in The Hague - 1989

Image
Considering Golden Earring formed in the mid 1960's, and have enjoyed popularity in Holland and a number of European countries ever since, it's great to see them still touring and recording right up to date, and with gigs scheduled into 2010! They scored their biggest UK and USA success with the classic rock song 'Radar Love', which in some ways over shadows a considerable amount of other great material they have produced down the years. For your enjoyment this is Golden Earring live in concert at the Parkpop Festival, Den Haag (The Hague), Holland on the 25th June 1989. Source: FM radio broadcast (this is from a later 're-broadcast'). Sound Quality: Very good, 320kbps stereo 'off air' recording. Genre: Rock (from 'classic' to 'prog' to 'Nederland beat') Set: This is the full broadcast material, it excludes the first two songs from their performance (Back Home & To Much Women), the total recorded time was 51:28 (117mb).

The Rezillos - BBC & WFMU Radio Sessions

Image
Here's another example of just how many great bands have come out of Scotland. The Rezillos formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, back in 1976, and were quickly associated with the punk and subsequent new wave movement in the UK, with their panache for short, sharp, three minute pop gems. The band toured constantly with the likes of The Ramones and The Undertones, by 1979 it was all over. In 2001 they reformed for a one off gig, and reignited, leading to their continuing and welcome musical presence in 2009. Source: BBC and WFMU Radio sessions - Total Playing Time 44:43. Sound Quality: Very good 'off air' stereo mp3 recordings @ 320 kbps Genre: Punk, New Wave, Power Pop.

Love - Live At The Fillmore West 1970

Image
Love started out playing the L.A. club scene in April 1965, and by the time of this concert in 1970, had already experienced a turbulent history, with line up changes, problematic tours, and the ravages of drug excesses. The one constant was the late Arthur Taylor Lee, along with some superb sixties albums and singles. This then is Love with both the early and late shows at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, USA, back on the 21st November 1970. Source: Concert soundboard. Sound Quality: Very good, 320kbps stereo (a few glitches due to age, that do not distract). Genre: Psychedelic rock, garage rock, sixties west coast. Set: Early and Late show performances. Set List: Early Show: 01 Product Of The Times 02 Stand Out 03 Keep On Shinning 04 Andmoreagain 05 Singing Cowboy / Good Times Late Show: 06 Stand Out 07 Product Of The Times 08 Bummmer In The Summer 09 Gotta Find Somebody 10 Signed D.C. 11 Slick Dick 12 Always See Your Face 13 Singing Cowboy Links: Excellent fan site HERE .
