Johnny Cash, "Bring It Back Alive" bootleg, Rocky Gap Music Fest. Cumberland Maryland, 25th August 1990

A good Cash boot for you today, with added The Carter Family material track 24 onwards for filler...forgot to label them correctly come to think of it now, but be buggered if I'm going to reupload now, you'll have to tag them yourself!

The Smiths - Salford Uni 1986

The Smiths, live at Salford University, 20th July 1986

A great setlist from what was the The Smiths (sounds weird, but surely the correct way of saying it?) homecoming gig in Salford, home of the famous above location of course. Not the original line-up at this point, as Andy had been fired for his heroin use via post-it note, a classy touch from Morrissey...despite that, this is probably the most celebrated period of The Smiths career as they were touring what's generally considered their best album, certainly my favourite, The Queen Is Dead.

Nouvelle Vague - Fort de St. Malo 2004

Nouvelle Vague (feat Camille), La Route De Rock, 13th August 2004

Broadcast on Bernard Lenoirs show on FM France Inter, this is French pop act Nouvelle Vague playing on the beach (Camille runs into the sea mid-way through Too Drunk..!). Their name is worthy of an SFA frontman Gruff Rhys song title, as it's pun-tastic. Basically it means New Wave in French, but in Portuguese it means Bossa Nova. As they do (on occasion) play New Wave songs in the Bossa Nova style...

01. Making Plans For Nigel
02. Guns of Brixton
03. Too Drunk to Fuck (part 1)
04. Too Drunk to Fuck (part 2)

Gods and Monsters - New York 92

Gods and Monsters, live at the Roulette Club NYC, 5th April 1992

Post the St. Anns Tim Buckley tribute show, Jeff hooked up with ex-Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas to sing for his band Gods and Monsters. It wasn't a long term affair, but was rather a productive period anyway. They recorded many tracks together at Lucas home studio and played several shows around New York. From these sessions along with Lucas originals, such as How Long Will It Take below, came fledgling versions of Grace and Mojo Pin, which Lucas played guitar for on the album Grace. Thankfully a much more subdued version than during the G&M period!

01. Dink's Song
02. Sweet Thing
03. How Long Will It Take
04. Mojo Pin
05. Hymn To Love
06. Grace
07. Farewell Angelina

Rufus Wainwright - Tokyo 2008

Rufus Wainwright, live at the International Forum Hall, Tokyo, 23rd January 2008

Rathr a different set from the one I posted a few weeks ago today, probably due to the fact he'd not played Japan for 10 years as he only has a small following there, so sticking to known songs was the the way to go. This does have some Judy Garland thrown in for good measure though.

Poney Express - Amiens 2008

Poney Express, live at Le Zenith Amiens, 25th October 2008

Poney Express are a pop/folk, twee indie kinda band, the French equivilant to the fabulous Scots band Belle And Sebastian, who actually took their name from a French cartoon as it happens. Only on their first album they show great promise, and as they only released their debut in the spring of this year, it's good to see them playing new songs. Enjoy!

01. Intro
02. Les Femmes De Milwaukee
03. Le Bruit Du Dehors
04. Paris De Loin
05. Une actrice
06. Les Pourquoi

02. Sweet Jane
03. Wainting For My Man
04. Martial Law
05. Legendary Hearts
06. Turn Out The Lights

British Sea Power - Glasgow 2008

British Sea Power, live at ABC 1 Glasgow, 11th October 2008

Another great sounding bootleg from BSP for you today, and I'm busy so this is all I'll write. Although, I don't know many bands that have song titles that are bird names which aren't known to the average layman, ala Great Skua as opposed to Blackbird. Enjoy!
