Queen - London 1971

Queen, De Lane Lea Studios, London, Autumn 1971

Todays bootleg is the original, well a copy of it anyway, 1971 demo. As you can see from the above image, it was recorded and pressed by Trident Studios (now Trident Audio Development), who let Queen record during the quiet periods (no doubt the middle of the night), and after 8 months of trying to help them get signed eventually released Queens full debut themselves. Enjoy!

02. The Night Comes Down

Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, live at the Maine State Pier, Portland, 17th July 2009

After listening to Conors music for several years now, it's great that he finally has a real band, and not just guys playing his songs. The Mystic Valley Band have come of age with their second release, helping Conor reign in those self indulgent moments, and contributing alot more than just instrumental ability. Enjoy!

The Dead Weather - New York 2009

The Dead Weather, live at Terminal 5, New York, 16th July 2009

I really think Jack White should start a Michael Jackson tribute act, with Jack Black, and call it...It Don't Matter if You're Black or White. Hey now! That's not too bad a joke for something I thought of this very second! Anyway...this is a cool set from Mr. White's latest musical daliance, with a few interesting covers. Enjoy!

Madeleine Peyroux - Montreal 2006

Madeleine Peyroux, live at the Théatre Outremont, Montreal, 20th October 2006

Madeleine is an American born singer/songwriter, who after moving to Paris in her teens has made her name as a quality jass and folk singer, in the mould of Billie Holiday and her ilk. She's released 5 albums to date, after first struggling with the pressure placed on her after the debut Dreamland, there were eight years between that and the follow-up Got You on My Mind. Anyway, she sings alot of covers, from both the jazz and folk worlds (Leonard Cohen, Serge Gainsbourg, Elliott Smith), many of which are amongst this fabulous set. Enjoy!

The Pixies - Newcastle 1989

The Pixies, live at the Newcastle Poly, 27th April 1989

Yet another band I'm surprised not to have posted shows of before now, although there is a Breeders show up. At this point in their career, The Pixies had released three albums in as many years, and had toured an awful lot too, no big shock then that the band had issues. Enjoy!

John Frusciante - Kentucky 1997

John Frusciante, live in Kentucky, April 1997

Recorded in an unknown location on an unknown date, very handy that, and sadly nowhere near a complete show. That aside, there are some rather rare tracks here. Two of the songs are unreleased John compositions, tentatively titled by fans probably, and another is a cover of Nirvana's Moist Vagina, b-side to the also snappily titled Rape Me. Enjoy!

They've been playing together for quite a few years now, although only one album released thus far, and they've played with some fairly illustrious bands including, Biffy Clyro, Siouxie Sioux, Maximo Park and Rage Against The Machine, to name a broad ranging few.
