Various Artists - A Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys, Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, CA, 2-8-2023

A few days ago, a commenter suggested I should post this concert. It so happened that I already had it all ready to go (except for making the cover), which is the case for countless hundreds, if not thousands of albums. But since it was requested, I put it at the top of the pile, and here it is. It's a Grammy salute to the Beach Boys from 2023.

This tribute was shown on prime time television, so that meant it was faced paced, and with lots of guest stars. Famous actor Tom Hanks started things off with a spoken tribute, and actors John Stamos and Drew Carey also had turns to speak. 

I found a video of this concert, converted it to audio, and then broke it into mp3s. So I don't think it's circulated as an audio bootleg before. The music is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent.

This album is an hour and eleven minutes long.

My Morning Jacket - VH-1 Storytellers, VH-1 Storytellers Studio, New York City, 6-3-2011

Next up with "VH-1 Storytellers" is My Morning Jacket.

My Morning Jacket is a band led by singer-songwriter Jim James. They haven't sold as many albums as most of the other artists on the Storytellers TV show, nor have their had big hits. But they've developed a sizeable devoted following, and have been critically praised. Personally, I haven't really gotten into their music, but they're worthy of this post, since I'm trying to post all the Storytellers episodes I can find that I deem at least decent.

This concert took place just after the release of the album "Circuital," the band's sixth studio album. However, only two of songs here, "Circuital" and "Movin Away," are from that album.

Most Storytellers episodes I've found are about 45 minutes in length. This one is about half an hour longer, which is still not long enough for a double episode. So probably a bootleg included some or all of the other songs the band performed. The sound quality is excellent, as usual for these episodes.

This album is an hour and 16 minutes long.
