James Gang - Allen Theater, Cleveland, OH, 2-24-2001

Here's a concert by the James Gang, Joe Walsh's band in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It's from a rare reunion in 2001.

I recently came across an audience bootleg recording of the James Gang performing at the Fillmore West in 1970. I thought, "great, with the latest improvements in audio editing technology, I can upgrade that into something worth listening." But the sound quality was too poor to be redeemable. However, I also noticed a soundboard concert from 2001. It was better in every way than the 1970 recording, including being much longer. The only problem was the date. But I figure, what the hell, it's too bad we can't get a concert recording like this of the band in their prime, but at least we got one. (Plus, there is a good official live album, "James Gang Live in Concert," from 1971.)

Compared to most bands from their era, there haven't been that many James Gang reunions. Probably that's because the leader of the band, Joe Walsh, had a very successful solo career, as well as a career with the Eagles. The two other band members, Jim Fox and Dale Peters, kept the James Gang going through most of the 1970s, including having a few notable years with Tommy Bolin on lead guitar. However, they broke up the band by the end of the 1970s. 

The classic line-up of Walsh, Fox, and Peters first reunited in 1991, playing three songs at an encore of a Joe Walsh concert. They played a few songs again in 1996 and 1998. But their very first full song together since 1971 was this one. They played a few songs at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on February 22, 2001. Then this concert happened two days later, also in Cleveland. They did one more concert at the same venue one day later. But that was the extent of their 2001 reunion.

They got together to play two concerts in 2005. Then there was a short tour in 2006, with about 17 concerts. After that, it was a long time until they played again. They played three times in 2022. There haven't been any reunions since, and there may not be, given how all of them are in their late 70s as I write this in 2026. I haven't been able to find any recordings with soundboard level quality from their 2006 tour or any other reunions. So we're lucky at least we have this one.

The vocals were pretty low in the mix. So I used the MVSEP program to boost them relative to the instruments. Also, the cheering at the ends of songs was pretty quiet. But there was enough there that I was usually able to increase the volume of those parts to make it sound like a more reasonable amount of cheering. 

This album is an hour and 14 minutes long.

I couldn't find any good photos from the band's brief 2001 reunion. So this comes from the time of their next reunion, in 2006. Specifically, it's from back stage at a concert at the Northfork Theatre in Westbury, Connecticut, on August 12, 2006.

Bettye LaVette - Soulville - Non-Album Tracks (2017-2023)

I've been posting a few Bettye LaVette albums lately. Here's another one. It's another collection of non-album tracks, from 2017 to 2023. This gets us caught up to current day, since I didn't find any non-album tracks worthy of inclusion since 2023.

Six of the songs here are unreleased: tracks 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12. All of them are from concert bootlegs. They generally come from tribute concerts. I removed the audience cheering from all of them so they'd fit in better with the studio tracks.

Tracks 1 and 3 come from the deluxe edition of "Music from The American Epic Sessions." Track 4 is from the Todd Rundgren album "White Knight." Tracks 8 and 11 are from tribute albums. For more details, look at the mp3 tags for each song, as usual.

This album is 52 minutes long.

Neil Sedaka with Helen Reddy - The Midnight Special, NBC Studios, Burbank, CA, 2-14-1975

Singer-songwriter Neil Sedaka died just two days ago as I write this. Specifically, he died on February 27, 2026, at the age of 86. Reports say he was in good health, eating at a restaurant just two days earlier, then had a sudden medical emergency. I wasn't going to post something to mark his death if I didn't have some album worthy of posting. But, as it turns out, I actually have two worthy albums. I've been posting episodes of the "Midnight Special" TV show for months now. I hadn't gotten around to making albums for him. But I quickly did that after I heard about his death. So here's the first one.

Sedaka was a big star in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Unlike most big stars at that time, he not only co-wrote most of his hits, along with songwriting partner Howard Greenfield, he and Greenfield wrote many hits for others. But then musical tastes changed in 1964 with the rise of the Beatles and Bob Dylan and others, and he fell off the charts for a long time. However, he'd never lost his performing talent, or his songwriting talent, and he had a major comeback in the mid-1970s. His song "That's When the Music Takes Me" made the Top Forty U.S. singles chart in 1972. But he really came all the way back in 1974 with the song "Laughter in the Rain," which went all the way to Number One in the U.S. More hits followed from 1975 to 1977, especially "Bad Blood," which was another Number One in 1975, and a slow ballad version of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," which hit the Top Ten, also in 1975.

Because of this success, Sedaka was on the Midnight Special quite a lot from late 1974 onwards. In fact, he hosted the show a bunch of times: twice in 1975, once in 1976, and twice in 1977. As I write this in March 2026, high quality YouTube videos of this TV show have only reached the end of 1975, with more being slowly released chronologically. So all I can deal with are his appearances on the show in 1974 and 1975. It turns out there he played some songs twice. So I did a lot of moving around of songs for the two albums I've made to make sure no song appears twice on the same album.

Thus, this album is more Frankensteined together than any Midnight Special album I've posted up until now. It's taken from four different episodes. Tracks 1 through 6 come from the February 14, 1975 episode mentioned in the title. That was a unique episode, with three hosts, each getting exactly one third of the show time. The other two hosts were the Spinners and Todd Rundgren. I've already posted the Rundgren portion, and the Spinner portion will be posted eventually. 

Tracks 7 through 9 are from a July 25, 1975 episode. That included Sedaka singing "Love Will Keep Us Together." He wrote that song with Greenfield, and it was released on a 1973 Sedaka album. It was released as a single and failed to even make the charts. However, in 1975, Captain and Tennille released a version of it as a single in 1975, and it was a massive hit. Not only did it reach Number One in the U.S., it was the best selling song that year! In that same episode, he performed a duet with Helen Reddy, "Don't Let It Mess Your Mind."

Tracks 10 and 11 are from the November 14, 1975 episode. That actually is the date of the second Sedaka album I'll be posting. But I moved those songs here because one is another duet between Sedaka and Reddy, "Sad Eyes," and the other is a song just sung by Reddy, "Emotion." I wanted to put all the Reddy songs on the same album.

That leaves tracks 12 through 17. Those come from a November 29, 1974 episode. Together, they made up a big medley of his best early hits. I broke most of them into their own mp3 files though. 

By the way, note that I've created two "Covered" albums for Sedaka and his main songwriting partner, Howard Greenfield. So if you haven't listened to those yet, I suggest you do. Here are the links:

Arlo Guthrie - Hesterly Armory, Tampa, FL, 11-11-1971

Arlo Guthrie was a prominent folk singer in the early 1970s, yet there are very few live recordings from that time with worthy sound quality. I've posted live recordings from him from 1969 and 1974, but there's basically nothing in between. So I decided to try to make something worthy. I found the best sounding audience bootleg from that era and used audio editing to bring it up close to soundboard-level sound quality.

I checked out a handful of audience boots from the era, and this one easily had the best sound quality. I wouldn't have given this a try if I didn't find this one with potential. The biggest problem was a lot of echo on the vocals. So I used the MVSEP program to split the vocals from the instruments. While I was at it, I boosted the vocals to a good level in the mix. Then I took the vocals track and ran it through the Reverb Removal option in MVSEP. But even that wasn't enough. I further ran those results through Adobe's vocal enhancer. I also ran all the banter between songs through that.

Between all these things, the very echo-y vocals sound almost normal now. Not quite, but close. So, while the sound quality still isn't ideal, I'm confident this is very listenable, and the best sounding live recording of him between 1969 and 1974.

In 1972, Guthrie would have the biggest hit of his career, with "City of New Orleans." But this is some months away from that, so that song wasn't performed here. According to the original notes I found, there was at least one more song played at the end of the concert, "Hobo's Lullaby." It's quite possible there were other missing songs, since this is relatively short compared to most concerts from that time period. Also, it seems the beginning of the first song, "Anytime," is cut off. So there could have been one or more missing songs there too. The way "Anytime" started sounded okay to me, even with the cut off, so I left it that way. Plus, I didn't have any other good live recordings of that song from that time period to use to fix it.

By the way, I find it interesting that although this concert is only two years after the 1969 concert I posted by him, only two songs are the same between those concerts: "Coming into Los Angeles" (his other hit) and "Stealin'." 

This album is an hour and two minutes long.

Bob Seger - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 7-8-1974

Here's a Bob Seger concert from 1974. In terms of sound quality, this may be the earliest live record of Seger that sounds this good.

Seger achieved massive success in 1976. In that year, he sold millions with his live album "Live Bullet," and then later in year sold millions more with his studio album "Night Moves." Prior to that, he'd been in the music business for many years, but usually at the level of playing at clubs. He'd had just one song in the U.S. Top Forty, "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" in 1968. The venue he was performing in here, Ebbets Field, only held a couple of hundred people. Whereas a few years later, he would be filling enormous arenas and even stadiums.

So it's interesting to hear Seger before he hit the big time. About half of the songs here would appear on his "Live Bullet" album two years later. But the other half are songs that would soon be permanently dropped from his concert set lists.

The reason we have this bootleg recording with outstanding sound quality is because many concerts at this Ebbets Field venue at the time were broadcast on a local radio station. So they were professionally recorded. I've already posted a few others of those, and I plan to post a lot more in the future.

This album is an hour and eight minutes long.

The cover photo is from a concert at the Highway Drive-in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on October 19, 1974. The original was in color, but the colors were off. So, I think for the first time for this blog, I actually colorized a color picture. I like the new colors a lot better.

The Rising Sons - Ash Grove, Los Angeles, CA, 5-30-1965

The Rising Sons were a band in the mid-1960s that looked like they were headed for big things. But they broke up and never even released an album. However, the two main band members, Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder, both went on to have long successful solo careers. In 2021, I posted a short concert bootleg of this band recorded in 1966. Now, here's another one from 1965.

Given this band was only in existence from 1965 to 1966, and never achieved any commercial success, it's a miracle we have any live music from them at all. But it turns out there are multiple bootlegs with stellar sound quality, due to the fact that the often performed at the Ash Grove, a small club in Los Angeles, and the people running that venue often made soundboard recordings of the concerts there.

However, there was one big problem: these in-house recordings were often done in a sloppy manner, probably someone just turning the recording device on and walking away. As a result, the balances were usually off. For instance, with the Rising Sons concert I previously posted, the prominent harmonica playing by Taj Mahal was buried in the mix. That was the same problem here, with the harmonica sounded like it was recorded several rooms away from everything else. That's why, even though I had these recordings, I only posted the 1966 one.

Happily, now it's 2026, and audio editing technology has improved by leaps and bounds since 2021. The bad mix of that 1966 concert bugged me. So I went back and fixed the buried harmonica problem. Here's a link where you can get the fixed version:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-rising-sons-ash-grove-los-angeles.html

Then I did the same thing here: I used the MVSEP program to separate out just the harmonica from everything else. Then I boosted that volume relative to everything else. While I was at it, I made some other fixes. For instance, Taj Mahal did most of the singing, but sometimes he would sing little asides with his mouth away from the microphone. In many cases, I was able to fix those so you could clearly hear those bits. Now, in my opinion, the sound quality here is really impressive, especially for 1965, when bootleg recording was rare and usually poorly done.

This recording is actually a combination of four different concerts. Most of it, tracks 1 through 20, is from May 30, 1965. But I had a few extra bits from partially recorded sets on other nights, so I added those in at the end. Tracks 21 through 24 are from May 29th. Tracks 25 to 30 are from May 31st. And the last two tracks, 31 to 32, are from June 29th.

All the studio recordings by this band were finally released an album in 1992, with the title "Rising Sons Featuring Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder." But quite a few of the songs here were not recorded for that album, including an original by band member Jesse Lee Kincad, called "I'll Always Be There." (There actually were two versions of that song in these recordings, but I only included one. It was the only case of there being a duplicate.) 

These concerts used to be available at Wolfgang's Vault. But that site stopped working a few months ago. And they never spread very far. For instance, none of this music can be found at SoulseekQT as a type this, and SoulseekQT has an amazing amount of stuff. So hopefully this post will put this music into wider public circulation. 

If you aren't familiar with this band, you should check this out. Their sound doesn't seem that unique today, but that's because so many other bands went on to make music in a similar vein in later years. According to AllMusic, Rising Sons' "languid, bluesy, folksy sort of sound anticipated future recordings by outfits like Moby Grape, Buffalo Springfield, the Grateful Dead, and even the southern rock Allman Brothers, and the country-rock Byrds."

This album is an hour and 21 minutes long.

The cover photo is from a photo shoot either in 1965 or 1966. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the help of the Kolorize program. Taj Mahal is the Black man wearing a hat, and Ry Cooder has a hand on his shoulder.

The Loading Zone - The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, 2-10-1968

A few days ago (writing in late February 2026), I posted a 1968 concert by the fairly obscure band the Loading Zone. I was pleasantly surprised by the positive response that got. One commenter noted there is another concert bootleg by this band that took place just two days later. Turns out that is correct, so here it is.

For the basics about the Loading Zone, please check out my write-up for the other concert I've posted by them. Thanks to commenter johncream who pointed me to this recording. It only seems to exist as an audio recording on YouTube until now, so I converted that to audio format and chopped it into mp3s.

What's nice is that although this concert only took place two days after the other one I've posted, the set list is entirely different. Also, there isn't much overlap with their self-titled 1968 studio album. Only three songs from that were performed here: "Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead," "No More Tears," and "Shop Around." 

The only original song written by band members is "No More Tears." That also was a single they released. (It flopped.) The rest of the songs are generally classic hits. The band leans more into soul music here. Note they were a mostly white band but their lead singer, Linda Tillery, was a Black woman, which was rare for the San Francisco scene they were a part of. (She can be seen on the far left in the cover image.)

The album is 50 minutes long. This appears to be the full performance. They played a relatively short set because they were an opening act that night.

I had a hard time coming up with a cover for this album. It seems there are only two even halfway decent photos of the band on the Internet, and I used up the best one for the first album I posted by this band. I ended up using the second one for this cover, but with a twist: I found a version of it the band used for the cover to their single "No More Tears." I kept that for the middle section, with its tinted colors and everything exactly the same. But I got rid of all of the text above and below, and replaced it with my own text (but still with the same font and background colors). 

Various Artists - BBC Proms: Northern Soul, Royal Albert Hall, London, Britain, 7-15-2023

Here's something I randomly discovered due to it appearing on my YouTube suggestions. At first, it didn't look too appealing, because I wasn't familiar with any of the singers or other musicians. It turns out that's because they're not well known. But this is a BBC celebration of the musical genre "Northern Soul," and I really like Northern Soul. I gave it a listen, and I enjoy it very much. So here it is. If you're into Northern Soul, or soul music in general, you should give this a try.

For those who don't know, what is Northern Soul? As far as musical genres one, it's very strange, because it was mostly defined by the geography and tastes of people who came to love a certain kind of music. 

Being an American that lives far away from where all this happened, I only have a limited understanding. But from what I gather, in the mid-1960s, the British public basically discovered Motown and other soul music after many years where that music hadn't been available. Some people really fell in love with it. And when musical tastes changed around 1967 with psychedelic music and other musical trends, they still couldn't get enough of the danceable Motown-ish sound of soul music circa 1966. So, mostly in the midlands and northern parts of England, people kept listening to that sort of music, and dancing to it in clubs. Thus the name "Northern Soul," for Northern England. 

However, they soon got tired of the really big, well-known classics, and there was very little new music of this type being created. The solution was they dug deeper into obscurities, finding many worthy gems. Well into the 1970s (until disco in the late 1970s), there was a thriving music scene where many clubs played obscure American soul songs every weekend, allowing people to dance and party to that music late into the night. The music scene continued into the 1980s and beyond, though at a lesser level, with periodic revivals.  

Here's Wikipedia's article, which explains it better, and in more length, than I can:

Northern soul - Wikipedia

Anyway, so while Northern Soul isn't that different from the big soul hits of 1966 or thereabouts, there are hundreds of songs that are big in the Northern Soul scene but totally obscure everywhere else. For this concert, six upcoming and relatively unknown British singers were chosen to perform a kind of "best of Northern Soul" song list. Each of them took turns singing lead vocals, while the remaining five would sing backing vocals. And they were backed by a large BBC orchestra. 

The popularity of this genre shows in how the Royal Albert Hall was sold out, despite all the decades passing since Northern Soul's heyday. And I'm writing this in February 2026. I understand there is going to be another BBC Northern Soul concert this summer, and then a short tour, with most or all of the same singers.

I looked up these six singers at Wikipedia and/or rateyourmusic.com. All of them are pretty obscure, with some of them not even having entries. But they were selected for their soulful vocals, and all of them did very well, in my opinion. So if you just want one album to show you the best of Northern Soul, this is a good one. Unless you're into the genre already, chances are you won't be familiar with the vast majority of the songs, with a few exceptions, like "Tainted Love." So if you're listening to this type of music for the first time, chances are you'll discover some excellent obscurities.

I took the video I found on YouTube, converted it to audio, and broke it into mp3s. According to the BBC website, about six more songs were performed in the actual concert. If anyone has any of those extra songs, please let me know. 

This album is an hour and 16 minutes long.

I wanted a cover image showing all six of the singers. But I couldn't find an instance in the video when they were all standing together. So instead I went with three of them, more or less randomly chosen. At least that's better than showing just one. From right to left: Frida Mariama Touray, Nick Shirm, and Vula Malinga. You can see part of the BBC orchestra in the background.

The Flying Byrds Brothers Fly Higher

A few days ago (as I write this in mid-February 2026), I posted a 1970 concert in which the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Bros played extensively together. One commenter noted that there was recording of an earlier part of that concert with the same excellent sound quality. I looked into it, and found that recording, which indeed sounds as good as the rest. So I added it in. It extends the concert by 50 minutes.

Here's the link (or just scroll down a bit):

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-flying-burrito-bros-byrds-flying.html

This addition works out very nicely, because only one of these added Byrds songs, from the early show, was repeated when the Byrds and Flying Burrito Bros played together in the late show. 

Thanks to Psyclist for pointing out the existence of this extra material.  

The Steve Miller Band - Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco, CA, 5-11-1968

Here is an excellent Steve Miller Band concert from 1968 that I have drastically improved through audio editing. The source is a great soundboard bootleg, but there was one major flaw: the vocals were way, way down in the mix for most of the songs. In fact, they were so far down in the mix that it was almost like an all instrumentals version. I used the MVSEP program to bring the vocals back to their proper levels. So now, in my opinion, this becomes of the best live recordings of this band in the 1960s, if not the very best.

At the time of this concert, the band had only released one album, "Children of the Future," in 1967. Later in 1968, they would have a minor hit with "Livin' in the U.S.A.," a song from their second album. This concert contains a version of that song. Also, Boz Scaggs was still part of the band. He would leave in September 1968, just prior to the release of the second album. He would go on to have a long, successful solo career.

The band played at the Carousel Ballroom a lot around May 1968. I didn't realize this until recently, but in July 1968, the management of the venue was taken over by promoter Bill Graham, and it was renamed the Fillmore West. (I had thought the Fillmore West was just the Fillmore renamed due to there being a Fillmore East started in New York City around that time. But the original Fillmore was about a mile away, and also changed ownership and names.) Anyway, for some reason, there are a bunch of soundboard bootleg recordings of Steve Miller Band concerts at the Carousel Ballroom around this time, for instance on April 26, 27, 28, and May 10, 11, and 12. A lot of the other ones are incomplete or have other problems. Now that the vocals problem has been solved, I think this is the best one.

Actually, I did a lot of work on this recording, in addition to the vocals problem mentioned above. Another issue was that the recording captured very little of the audience noise, so it seemed like there was an odd lack of audience reaction at the ends of songs. To fix this, I ran many songs through the MVSEP program again, separating the crowd noise out, and then greatly boosting the volume. I also copied and pasted some crowd noise from one song to another where there wasn't enough crowd noise to use the other method. I made some other fixes too. There was a lot of annoying buzzing coming from one of the instruments on some songs. I made more edits to get rid of that. I didn't get rid of that entirely. But now there's only a little bit of it on a few songs. I did still more edits. As one example, the harmonica on "Just a Little Bit" was buried in the mix, but I fixed that by using MVSEP yet again. 

In short, this is way better than the previous version. But the original version had a lot going for it. One nice thing is that the lead guitar work is very prominent and clear. 

This actually combines two sets. The song "Living in the U.S.A." was played in both sets. However, the second version was cut off before it finished. So I chose not to include that one. That was a lucky break, that the one song that got cut off was the only one that was played twice. Also, this began with the song "Can't You Hear My Daddy's Heartbeat." But I didn't include that, because it was only the last two minutes out of an eight minute long song. It was played the night before, and since there's a soundboard recording of that, I tried to combine them, but the two versions were too different for that to work well. 

The recording I found ended with two unnamed jams featuring Steve Miller Band playing with Jorma Kaukonen and Elvin Bishop on lead guitars and Jack Casady on bass. I'm pretty sure this was some sort of backstage, after hours kind of thing, because there was no audience noise whatsoever. And there was several minutes of tuning and doodling between the jams that also had no hint of any audience. So I've included those as bonus tracks, since they weren't part of the concert.   

This album is an hour and 17 minutes long.

The cover is the concert poster for this exact concert. However, I made some changes. One is that I had to do some reshaping to get things to fit into a square shape. I kept the image in the middle unstretched, but there are parts that got cropped. Also, I removed the names of the supporting bands, which were right below where "The Steve Miller Band" is mentioned in the striped area. The other bands were Kaleidoscope and the Youngbloods.

Bettye LaVette - Blackpool International Soul Festival, Winter Gardens, Blackpool, Britain, 6-22-2024

Here's a really interesting concert by Bettye LaVette. I'm not totally certain, but I think it may be the only one like it she's ever done in her long career. In short, in this concert, she ONLY performed songs from the 1960s phase of her career.

As I've explained in other posts, LaVette pretty much had two music careers. She was a decently popular soul singer in the 1960s, but that career petered out in the early 1970s. Then, in the early 2000s, she had a career revival that has kept going strong ever since then. She ended up being more popular as a senior citizen than she ever was when she was young. 

Generally speaking, since her career revival began, she's only played songs from her recent albums, with only a few exceptions. The biggest exception is "Let Me Down Easy," which she plays at all her concerts. It wasn't a big hit at the time, but it's grown to be considered a soul classic, and her signature song. I looked up her song stats at the setlist.fm database website, and it's pretty clear that she's never performed the vast majority of these songs in concerts ever, at least not since the 1960s. 

I don't know what inspired her to do this. According to a knowledgeable commenter, the promoters hired her to perform this kind of concert, and even chose the songs. Even so, it's a pretty bold and challenging move, when she could have just rested on her laurels and played the same songs as usual. Keep in mind she was 79 years old at the time of this concert! Yet her voice was just as soulful as ever. 

I found this concert on Bettye LaVette's YouTube page. It hasn't gotten much notice there, and I haven't seen mention of it anywhere else. I did my usual thing of converting the video to audio then chopping it into mp3s. I couldn't find a song list anywhere, so I had to figure out the song titles myself. I got a couple of them wrong at first, but a commenter corrected me, so they should be good now.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality on this is as good as typical soundboard or FM radio broadcast. 

This album is an hour and four minutes long.

The Tubes - Live at the Record Plant, Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 11-21-1974

Here's a concert by the Tubes for the "Live at the Record Plant" radio show, in 1974.

I have to admit, I'm not familiar at all with the music of the Tubes, other than a couple of their best known songs like "White Punks on Dope," "Talk to Ya Later," and "She's a Beauty." I've heard intriguing things, though. Although I've also heard that Tubes concerts were visual spectacles that needed to be seen as much as heard. The cover image gives a hint at just how theatrical and visually arresting they could be. Be that as it may, I plan to post most all the "Live at the Record Plant" concerts I can find, and this one randomly came up next.

The Tubes were formed in San Francisco in 1972. Before long, they were as much as performance art as they were about music. Their unusual concerts and music attracted a lot of fans, but they had trouble getting a record contract because they were so unusual. Thus, this concert took place when they had gotten pretty well known in the Bay Area, at least, but they still hadn't released an album, or even a single. Their debut album, "The Tubes," would come out in June 1975. 

Here's their Wikipedia page: 

The Tubes - Wikipedia 

The music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is very good. There's just a little crowd noise, since they performed before a small audience in the Record Plant recording studio. 

This album is an hour and three minutes long.

Brandi Carlile - Target Center, Minneapolis, MN, 2-21-2026

Here's a concert that I'm posting (on February 24, 2026) only three days after it took place. One thing that often stops me from posting recent music is sound quality. But this is a rare exception because the concert was broadcast live on a local radio station. That means the sound quality is excellent.

This concert had special significance because of the city it was taking place in - Minneapolis. This was a regularly scheduled stop on Brandi Carlile's national tour, planned months in advance. But with the battles between I.C.E. and the local populace in Minneapolis, Carlile wanted to broadcast this concert on the radio to help celebrate the successful resistance efforts there. It was also livestreamed nationally, and available for a fee for 24 hours. The concert thus raised $600,000 for a non-profit, the Advocates for Human Rights, who are supporting legal efforts of those detained by I.C.E. So good for Carlile! I hope more musical acts make similar efforts.

If you also want to donate to the same cause, here's their link:

https://www.theadvocatesforhumanrights.org/Home 

This concert got some media attention. Here's a Rolling Stone Magazine article about it, which mainly consists of an interview Carlile gave right after the concert finished:

Brandi Carlile on Resisting Trump, Protesting ICE in Minneapolis 

And here's another article with some further links and photos and so forth:

https://www.jambase.com/article/brandi-carlile-twin-cities-singing-resistance-minneapolis

The song list was pretty similar to other ones on her tour. It mostly consisted of originals, with a few covers thrown in: "Long, Long Time," "Viva la Vida," and "Uninvited." And just for the concert, it ended with "It's Okay to Change Your Mind," which had become a theme song for protesters in Minneapolis. For that song, Carlile was joined on stage by the Singing Resistance, which is a group of hundreds of locals who have been conducting singing vigils to help protest illegal actions by I.C.E.

I didn't change the music here. However, there were frequent interjections by radio DJs between songs to mention the radio station name and so on. I edited all of those out. And there was much longer DJ banter before and after the concert, plus during an unusually long break before the encore. I cut all that out as well.  

Thanks to commenter nytvf for suggesting I check out this concert. I might have missed it otherwise. 

This album is two hours and 22 minutes long.

The Loading Zone - The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA, 2-8-1968

As I've mentioned many times on this blog before, I think the late 1960s were a special time for music. It's my opinion that often even little known bands from that time were better than most bands that came later. I've been making an effort to post music from such talented less bands. Here's one: the Loading Zone. Although they never found critical or commercial success, somehow there's this one bootleg recording that sounds professionally recorded.

One thing that makes music of that time special, in my opinion, is that a lot of what was happening was brand new. The concert is a case in point. At the time, the Loading Zone were pioneering what would later be called "jazz rock." That would soon be made popular by groups like Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears. But "jazz soul" might be a better name, because there's a large soul element here.

The Loading Zone were formed in Berkeley, California at the start of 1966. In my opinion, they stood out by their musical talent, which was on a different level than most Bay Area bands of the time. Their lead vocals by Linda Tillery were a particular highlight. (Note that she had only recently joined the band in late 1967, but that's definitely her on this recording.) However, their weakness was they didn't come up with much original material. Thus, their self-titled debut album mostly consisted of covers. It wasn't that well received, being especially criticized for excessive production. Tillery left the band for a solo career in 1969. After some personnel changes, the band put out one more album in 1970, "One for All," then broke up in 1971.

Here's their Wikipedia page: 

The Loading Zone - Wikipedia 

In my opinion, the band probably would have been wise to release this concert instead of their debut album. It shows their musical talent without the overproduction issue. It's actually quite different from that album as well, with only three songs being on both: "Love Feels like Fire," "I Can't Please You," and "Kali Yuga-Loo."

By the way, it's frustrating that the recording ends with the emcee announcing that Arlo Guthrie would be on stage next. Too bad that recording doesn't exist (or at least hasn't been made public). Also, note that this took place at the Fillmore a few months before it changed its name to the "Fillmore West" (due to a "Fillmore East" opening up on the East Coast).

This album is 38 minutes long.

I tried finding a photo of this band in concert, but I came up snake eyes. This was the best photo I could find, by far. It was used on the back side of their 1968 album, though more cropped than this. The version I found was in black and white (as it was on the album), but I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program. The only person I can identify is Linda Tillery, who is the Black woman in the leather jacket and cap second to the left.  

Bettye LaVette - Season of Change - Non-Album Tracks (2012-2017)

I recently came across a recent Bettye LaVette concert I was impressed by and plan on posting here soon. That reminded me that I've never finished posting a couple more collections of non-album tracks from her. So here's the next one.

As I've mentioned previously, LaVette has had an unusual career. She had some success in the 1960s as a soul singer. But then she struggled for a long, long time, only to have a big and prolonged career revival since the early 2000s. That revival gave her a lot of opportunities to appear in tribute concerts, on other artists' albums, and the like. This album is a mix of those sorts of things.

Tracks 6, 7, 8, and 11 are unreleased. All of them come from appearances at tribute concerts. Track 9 is a live performance too, but it comes from a deluxe edition version of one of her albums. For all these live songs, I used MVSEP to get rid of the crowd noise.

The other songs are all released, and from studio albums. The first two tracks here are actually from an EP she released, called "More Thankful, More Thoughtful." It consisted of extra songs from her 2012 album "Thankful N' Thoughtful." The rest (tracks 3, 4, 5, 10, and 12) are mostly from appearances on albums by other artists, and generally are duets.

By the way, in addition to getting this album ready for posting, at the same time, I went over her past non-album track albums and improved them. I added a song to the "Heart of Gold" collection, a duet with Joe Tex that only recently emerged on YouTube. Here's the link to that one:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2021/04/bettye-lavette-heart-of-gold-various.html

And for the album in this series previous to this one, "Change Is Gonna Come," most of the songs were unreleased live versions. I used the MVSEP program to get rid of the cheering, so they'd fit in with the other songs. I also improved the sound quality of two bonus tracks enough to add them to the main album. Here's the link to that:

Geno Washington - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Cambridge Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton Hall Grounds, Cambridge, Britain, 7-28-1990

Back in 2024, I posted an album of 1960s BBC studio sessions by soul singer Geno Washington. I thought that was all I'd ever post from him. However, I got this BBC concert from musical associate Progsprog. I'm pretty sure it has been publicly unavailable until now, because an Internet search doesn't even come up with a hint of such a recording. So, a big thanks again to Progsprog for sharing. 

Washington was an American who was stationed in Britain as a U.S. soldier in the mid-1960s. He began singing in clubs during his free time, and discovered there was a big demand for soul singers in that country. He had some minor hit singles. But more importantly, two of his live albums were huge sellers. What he did wasn't that original, especially since most of his songs were covers. He was very much in the mold of upbeat singers like Wilson Pickett, James Brown, and Sam and Dave. But he performed that style very well. Those live albums were big sellers because they contained fun music you could dance to.

Washington's career petered out in the 1970s, as styles changed. He quit music entirely for a time, and became a professional hypnotist! Then, in 1980, Dexys Midnight Runners had a Number One hit with a song they wrote about him, "Geno." That revived interest in him, and he resumed performing in clubs in Britain. He put out some new albums in the 1980s. But his bread and butter has been performing the same material he did in the 1960s.

I find it odd that this concert took place at the annual Cambridge Folk Festival, because this is upbeat soul. If this is "folk music," then any music is folk music. But never mind about that. It's a rocking good time.

By the way, I couldn't find any song list for this concert, or even for other concerts he did around this time. So I had to come up with the song titles myself, as I split a single mp3 file into pieces. I had to guess on some of the songs. If anyone has more accurate titles, please let me know. 

Oh, one last thing. Now that I have this "Volume 2," I renamed that 1960s BBC studio sessions collection I mentioned above "Volume 1." Here's the link to that:

Considering how obscure this recording has been, I was very pleasantly surprised to find a photo from this exact concert. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program.

The Flying Burrito Bros & the Byrds - The Flying Byrds Brothers, Whisky-A-Go-Go, Los Angeles, CA, 9-19-1970

If you're a fan of country rock, this is a very special concert. The Byrds helped invent country rock in 1968. But a couple of key members left and started a new band, the Flying Burrito Bros, that kept developing the country rock sound. The various band members remained friends, however. So when they happened to be on the same bill together, they decided to merge their bands together for most of one concert. So that makes this concert very unique and special. But, even better, it was recorded with soundboard quality, despite still being unreleased.

By 1969, the main leader of the Byrds was Roger McGuinn. The Flying Burrito Bros were jointly led by ex-Byrds members Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, but by the end of 1969, Parsons had left, making Hillman the temporary leader. (He in turn would leave in early 1972, passing the leadership to others.) McGuinn and Hillman went way back, both being founding members of the Byrds in 1964, and they remained on good terms. So when their bands were on the same bill one night at the Boston Tea Party club in Boston in February 1969, they merged bands together for about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, there are no known recordings of that show. 

But then, in September 1970, they shared the same bill at the Whisky-a-Go-Go club for three nights in a row, playing two shows a night. For the first two nights, and the first show of the third night, they just did their sets separately. I have included the Byrds set from the first show. (If there's a Flying Burrito Bros set, I don't have have it.) Then, for this performance, the late show on the third and final night, they had something special planned. The Flying Burrito Bros did their second set as usual. Then, when the headlining act, the Byrds, came on, the two bands merged. And they didn't just perform together for a couple of songs. No, they were together for a full hour! They mostly played Byrds songs, since Hillman was in the Byrds from 1964 until late 1968, so he no doubt remembered many of them well.

At one point between songs, McGuinn jokingly suggested the name "Flying Byrds Brothers" for the merging of the two bands. That sounded pretty good to me, so I added it to the title and the cover art. 

It could be there were more Flying Burrito Bros songs at the start that didn't make the recording. The version I found started with the last minute of "The Train Song." I cut that because there wasn't much left of that song at that point, just one line repeated over and over. So it's possible there were other songs prior to that one before someone started recording. I'm not aware of any complete set list so we could check.

Also, it's possible that the Byrds set from the early show is incomplete. There isn't a clear start to the first song, with an introduction of the band, so there could have been more there. And the last song, "This Wheel's on Fire," was cut off about 30 seconds before the song ended. I patched that up by adding in the end from a concert in Ames, Iowa, a month later. That's why that song has "[Edit]" in its title. But it also suggests there could have been more songs after that cut off.

This album is two hours and six minutes long.

UPDATE: On February 26, 2026, a few days after I first posted this, I was told about all the Byrds songs from the first set, so I added those in. This addition works out very nicely, because the Byrds clearly tried to play all different songs in the first set than in the second set. There's only one song played in both, "You Ain't Goin' There." It's telling that the leader of the Byrds, Roger McGuinn expressed surprise at the start of the song that the other band members wanted to play it again.

There is a photo of the Flying Burrito Bros and the Byrds playing in concert together in 1969. But to call it "low quality" is putting it mildly. It's about as bad a photo as you can imagine, with the people looking little more than black blobs. So I didn't want to use that. Instead, I kind of created a fake picture. This is a real picture of McGuinn (left) and Hillman (right) on stage together when they were both members of the Byrds. It was taken at the Grand Old Opry in 1968. But at that time, McGuinn kept his hair very short, and he grew it out by 1970. So I found a photo of him in concert in early 1970 and pasted that over his head in the original photo. I hope this comes close to what they might have actually looked like at this concert.

Also, the original photo was quite low-res and in black and white. I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program. And I used Krea AI to help with the detail.

Various Artists - The Big TNT Show, Moulin Rouge, Los Angeles, CA, 11-30-1965

A few days ago (writing this in February 2026), I posted the audio to the "TAMI Show" concert. As I mentioned in my write-up, that's one of the all time great 1960s concerts, which was made into a movie in 1964. The people who made that movie basically repeated the formula in 1965 with this one, "The Big T.N.T. Show." Although this concert isn't as famous as the TAMI Show, I'd argue the star power and performances here are even better.

Just like the TAMI Show, what sets this apart from other musical shows on TV and the like is that there was no lip-syncing. Everything was done live in front of an audience. Actually, each act performed their set three times, and then the film footage from the best versions were used for the movie. 

By the way, technically "T.N.T." was an acronym for "Tune n' Talent," but clearly they just wanted to call it "T.N.T." for the "explosive" connotation, and then made up an acronym for it.

The idea was to use the most popular music acts popular with kids at the time. Musical trends had changed a lot in the year since the TAMI Show. One big change was that folk-rock was suddenly all the rage. So this concert had some folk music acts that had been lacking in the TAMI Show. In addition to folk rock like the Lovin' Spoonful and the Byrds, Joan Baez and Donovan performed in solo acoustic mode. One curiosity is that Baez sang "You Lost that Lovin' Feeling," which didn't seem like her type of song at all. But the music in the show was directed by legendary producer Phil Spector, and that's a song he actually co-wrote, so my guess is he got her to sing it.

Additional, some classic soul acts were included, like Ray Charles, Bo Diddley, Ike and Tina Turner. Country was represented by Roger Miller, and pop by Petula Clark. It was a very diverse line-up, with no repeats from the TAMI Show. 

It seems like this movie was commercially successful, as was the TAMI Show. So it's a shame no similar film was made in 1966 or after. However, I read one mention that the movie wasn't as successful as the TAMI Show. This was blamed on the fact that it was edited and released so quickly that there wasn't time for proper production. Remarkably, the movie was in the theaters by the end of 1965, less than a month after the concert!

Also, perhaps, with musical trends changing so fast, it grew too difficult to bring these many big stars together for one concert. These sorts of variety concerts with lots of acts performing short sets were rapidly fading away at the time, replaced by having just a couple of acts performing much longer sets.

Just as I did with the TAMI Show, I converted the video to audio format, then chopped it into mp3s. The sound quality was a little bit better with this one, so I didn't have to make any adjustments. 

Here's the Wikipedia article:

The main picture in the cover art shows Tina Turner in this exact concert. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the help of the Kolorize program. The text and design at the top and sides are taken from a concert poster. I did some repositioning and cleaning up for those areas.

The Guess Who with Bachman-Turner Overdrive - The Midnight Special, NBC Studios, Burbank, CA, 1-3-1975

A few days ago (writing this in February 2026), I posted a Midnight Special episode hosted by the Guess Who in 1974. They did another one that was broadcast in very early 1975 (though it was almost certainly recorded in late 1974). So here it is. The band broke up later in 1975, so this was their last appearance on the show.

As I mentioned in my write-up for the 1974 Guess Who album, the band had their first big hit in a few years that year with the song "Clap for the Wolfman." Wolfman Jack, host of the Midnight Special, loved the song, since it was about him, and he had some spoken lines in the recording. He performed the song with the band in their 1974 appearance, and did so again here. In fact, he was so keen on the song that the episode began straight away with the song before the usual introductions, then it ended with a short reprise of the song! 

Note the band Bachman-Turner Overdrive didn't appear on this episode of the show. They were only on the show once, in 1973, and played two songs. This album was rather short, and I didn't think any of the other musical acts from this episode were a good fit with the Guess Who. But the key member of Bachman-Turner Overdrive was Randy Bachman, former lead guitarist of the Guess Who, so I thought that made a very good fit. Thus, I included their songs from an earlier episode on this album, even though that took place over a year earlier. 

Between this album and the other Guess Who Midnight Special album I've posted, the band played most of their best known songs, with no overlap. For instance, in this performance they went back to some earlier songs, like "No Time" and "Bus Rider," as well as playing some that were new for the time. The band's last significant hit was "Dancin' Fool," which was performed here. That was released in October 1974, and made the Top Forty in the U.S. singles chart. 

In case you're curious, the other acts in this episode of the show were the Spencer Davis Group, Montrose, and the Charlie Daniels Band. 

This album is 39 minutes long.

Fleetwood Mac - Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, CA, 4-15-1973

The band Fleetwood Mac went through many personnel transformations, with only the bassist (John McVie) and the drummer (Mick Fleetwood) remaining constants. I'm interested in pretty much all versions of this band, because they remained consistently good despite all the changes. As far as live recordings go, I always though 1973 was a lost year. I couldn't find even one decent recording from that year. But recently (writing this in February 2026), I came across a worthy one. So here it is.

In 1972, the main creative forces in the band were Christine McVie on keyboards, Bob Welsh on lead guitar, and Danny Kirwan on lead guitar. By the end of 1972, Kirwan was out of the band. The band brought in two new members: Bob Weston on slide guitar, and Dave Walker on lead vocals. That's the line-up for this concert: Christine McVie, Bob Welsh, Bob Weston, Dave Walker, plus the two unchanging members, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.

Walker, who had been the lead vocalist for the band Savoy Brown, was brought into the band because the band's manager thought the band needed a charismatic lead vocalist. However, he didn't last long. He was included in the album "Penguin," released in March 1973. But he only sang lead vocals on two songs, one of which he wrote. At the end of the tour to promote the album, he was ejected from the group. So, in the larger history of this band, Walker is a minor blip, only remembered for singing two songs on one album. But he actually dominates this concert, singing most of the songs. 

The band carried on with just five members. Later in 1973, the band released another album, "Mystery to Me." Shortly after the tour to promote that album started, it was discovered that Bob Weston was sleeping with the wife of Mick Fleetwood. The tour was immediately cancelled, and the band actually broke up for several months. When they finally got back together, Weston was gone. So this is probably the only decent concert bootleg out there prominently featuring both Walker and Weston. One can tell Weston's guitar playing since he pretty much exclusively played slide guitar.

Now, let me address this recording. This is an audience bootleg. I generally shy away from those, due to sound quality issues. But it was an unusually good one. The main problem was that the lead vocals were buried in the mix. So I used the MVSEP program to bring them back up. That made a big difference. I also ran MVSEP over all the songs again to get rid of the crowd noise during the songs. Furthermore, the banter between songs was hard to understand. I ran those tracks through the Adobe vocal enhancer program, and that helped a lot. After all that, I think this concert sounds almost as good as a soundboard boot from the time. 

The one disappointment I have in this concert is that McVie only sang lead vocals on one song, "Get like You Used to Be." That's curious, because the lead single for the album they were promoting at the time, "Penguin," was "Remember Me," a song written and sung by McVie. 

This album is 55 minutes long. It's relatively short for a concert, but that's because they were an opening act. You can hear right at the end how the emcee announces there will be a short break before the main act, Deep Purple, takes the stage.

The cover image is kind of a creative invention. I found a photo of band members Bob Weston and Bob Welch in concert in 1973, and another photo of Dave Walker in concert in 1973. I put them together in Photoshop. Both original photos were in black and white, but I colorized them using the Kolorize program. From right to left: Bob Weston, Bob Welch, and Dave Walker. 

Wilson Pickett with Edwin Starr - Rose d'Or Festival, Pavillon Montreux, Montreux, Switzerland, 5-3-1972

I keep coming across really interesting music on YouTube that doesn't ever make it to audio bootlegs. I keep trying to fix that. Here's another example. It's a Wilson Pickett concert from 1972. Edwin Starr is here too, but he only has a lesser role on one song.

In my opinion, the prime period of Pickett's music career was from about 1965 to 1973. When it comes to live recordings, surprisingly, there never has been an official live album from those years. And when it comes to bootlegs, there's only one well known one, which I've posted here at this blog, which took place in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1969. So it's quite nice to find this second one.

The sound quality is good, due to the fact that it was broadcast on TV. You can find multiple versions on YouTube. A couple of them have lots of little gaps of silence in the songs, but I was able to find a version without those.

This concert was part of a four-day-long festival. For this year, it was known as the Rose d'Or Festival, but it would soon be renamed the Montreux Jazz Festival, which continues until the present. Most years, this was held at the Montreux Casino, but it had to be moved for this year, due to the fire at the casino documented in the Deep Purple song "Smoke on the Water." I looked up the schedule, and Edwin Starr performed at the festival one day later, so it was easy for him to drop in on Wilson Pickett's set.

By the way, I think "I'm a Midnight Mover" turned into a different song halfway through, but if so, I don't know the name of that other song. If anyone does, let me know, and I'll fix the song list. 

Also, it's kind of hard to tell just when Edwin Starr was involved, since neither his arrival nor his departure was clearly announced. But he joined the song "People Make the World (What It Is)" right after Pickett asked if any members of the Rolling Stones in the audience wanted to join him on stage. (Either they weren't there, or didn't want to join.) Then Starr traded lead vocals through the end of the song. 

This album is 43 minutes long.

The cover image is a screenshot I took from a video of this exact concert. That's Edwin Starr closer to the camera, and Wilson Pickett slightly behind him. Although Starr didn't have that big of a role in this concert, finding an image like this showing the top of them together was too good to pass up. 

Various Artists - The TAMI Show, Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, CA, 10-29-1964

When I recently posted the 1964 NME Poll Winners' Concert, I got a request to post another stellar 1964, known as "The TAMI Show." Like the NME concerts, this has to be one of the greatest collection of musical talent on one stage in the 1960s. The TAMI Show was made for a movie, which was released at the end of 1964. But I haven't seen just the audio available. So I converted a video of the movie into audio and chopped it into mp3s.

There's so much to say about the TAMI Show. I'm going to try to be relatively brief. It seems some clever people decided that rock music was all the rage in 1964, so if they could get enough big stars together for a concert, it would make a profitable movie. They did, and it did. The result was a classic, regularly cited as one of the best music movies of all time. In 2006, it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

The key about the concert is that all the songs were performed live, at a time when lip-syncing was standard for TV appearances. Jan and Dean emceed the concert. They also performed its theme song, "Here They Come (From All Over the World)", written by songwriters P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri. The concert brought together some British Invasion bands (Gerry & the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas, and the Rolling Stones) with Motown acts (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, and the Supremes), plus some other big names, like the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, and Lesley Gore.

The concert is probably best known for the performance by James Brown, and for good reason. The whole thing is worth watching, but especially his part. The Police even immortalized it in their song "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around," with the lyric:  

Turn on my V.C.R. 
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the T.A.M.I. Show
Same tape I've had for years

In other words, Sting (who wrote that song) has a video of the TAMI Show, and is fascinated by James Brown's performance, watching it over and over. It's easy to see why. Brown's dancing is so extraordinary, it almost defies the laws of physics. He was moonwalking, and more, back when Michael Jackson was just a little baby. The lyrics are also interesting in that the TAMI Show was very hard to find for decades, generally only being available as a bootleg video, so that probably was an especially prized possession for Sting. It was finally remastered and rereleased as a DVD in 2010.

I worked from the DVD version, converted it to audio, and chopped it into mp3s. The sound quality isn't great, but it's as good as you could hope for from a 1964 concert. The lead vocals were rather low in the mix, so I used the UVR5 program to boost them relative to the instruments.

There was some controversy at the time whether James Brown or the Rolling Stones should be the final act in the show. At the time, the Stones had barely toured the U.S. at all. In fact, this would be only the third stop on their first big U.S. tour. But they were rapidly rising stars, enough for them to be chosen as the final act. However, James Brown wasn't pleased about that, and made sure to steal the show.

Mick Jagger, lead singers for the Stones, later said, "James Brown was probably the best thing about our trip. He is a fantastic artist. When you've seen him, you've seen the act to end all acts. We appeared with him on the TAMI Show and we had to follow him. It was a disaster in a way because nobody can follow James Brown, it’s impossible." Despite the competition, it was a friendly rivalry, and they were on good terms with him when they crossed his path at various times in later years.

By the way, the "TAMI Show" stood for either "Teenage Awards Music International" and "Teen Age Music International" - the producers were inconsistent about the meaning. The fact that they were inconsistent shows it didn't really matter much. Apparently, they just wanted an interesting sounding acronym. 

Here's a good article about the concert, written in 2025, if you want to know more:

Since James Brown had the most renowned performance in this concert, I decided it was fitting to have a photo of him on the cover. That photo is from this exact concert. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the help of the Kolorize program. All the other text and graphics comes from original promotional material for the concert. But I used Photoshop to do some repositioning and other editing.
