Leon Russell with the Gap Band - The Midnight Special, The Church Studio, Tulsa, OK, 8-2-1974

Here's another episode of the excellent "Midnight Special" TV show. This one stars Leon Russell, with the Gap Band.

This is an unusual episode in a few different ways. The vast majority of the episodes were filmed in the same location, in the Los Angeles area, and featured one host plus a handful of guests. But this one was entirely filmed in Russell's personal recording studio, called the Church Studio (because it was inside a former church), in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It also had just one other musical act, the Gap Band. Furthermore, the Gap Band didn't just play a couple of their own songs, as usual. Instead, Russell and the Gap Band played together on every song. But Russell sang most of the songs, while the Gap Band only sang lead on two, while they also dominated one instrumental. Furthermore, there was no audience whatsoever, no doubt due to the unusual location.

I believe the reason for all of these unusual aspects is because the Midnight Special production crew went to this part of the country in order to film an episode that took place at a special Willie Nelson's Fourth of July concert that year. Russell was one of the stars of that, so the show people probably figured they could record another episode with Russell while they were in the area. The concert episode aired the week right after this one, and was also hosted by Russell. I'll get to posting that one eventually. I only know the broadcast date for this episode. But I'll bet the actual recording date was close to the date of the concert.

The Gap Band got to be pretty famous, due to a series of hits in the late 1970s and through most of the 1980s. But at the time of this concert in 1974, they were complete unknowns. They were formed in Tulsa in 1967, with lead singer Charlie Wilson and his two brothers as the core. However, they didn't have success until 1974, when they were the backing band for Russell's studio album that year, "Stop All That Jazz." He signed them to his record label, Shelter Records, and let them record their debut album in his studio, the same exact studio where this performance took place. However, the resulting album, "Magicians Holiday," didn't get any traction at all. It didn't make the U.S. album chart, and none of the singles from it made any singles chart either. It would be three more years before they released another album, and that one would come out on another label. So it seems their association with Russell only lasted around 1974.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.

This cover image is a screenshot I took of a YouTube video of this exact concert. I couldn't find an image with more members of the Gap Band, especially lead singer Charlie Wilson, since they were spread out all over the studio. But at least I got Russell (at the bottom with long light hair) with the bassist and some backing vocalists.

Chris Rea - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, London, Britain, 4-12-1983

Chris Rea died last week as I write this at the end of December 2025. I've never been much aware of his music, so I'm fast tracking the posting of a bunch of BBC albums from him to make up for lost time. Here's the second one, which is a 1983 concert. In case you're curious, I have at least six more that I've found so far.

The first song, "Guitar Street," is from a different source. That was performed by him on the "Old Grey Whistle Test" BBC TV show in 1982. I didn't have anywhere else to put it, and it helps flesh out a rather short album. Luckily, it was performed in front of a cheering audience, so it fits in well with the live concert that follows.

The rest of this album is from a 1983 concert, as I mentioned above. I don't know much about it. For instance, I don't know the exact venue. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can fix that.

Rea had a hit with his very first major label single, "Fool (If You Think It's Over)," released in 1978. But after that, he had quite a few years with only middling success. This concert took place during that time. His biggest hit since his first one was probably "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat." But that only made it to Number 60 in the British singles chart. He would start to have more success a couple of years later. We'll see that in the next album in this series.

This album is 36 minutes long. If you don't include the first track, from another source, it's 31 minutes.

Bob Dylan - SEC Armadillo, Glasgow, Britain, 11-17-2025

Early this month, as I write this in December 2025, I posted a Bob Dylan concert that took place in August 2025. I was happy to post that, because the sound quality was exceptional for having taken place only a few months earlier. Now, here's another one with equally great sound quality, and a set list that's almost entirely different!

For many, many years, there were next to no Dylan new concert bootlegs with soundboard-level sound quality. The only exceptions since 2000 or so (and I've posted most of them at my blog already) are due to IEM technology. "IEM" stands for "in-ear monitor." Basically, instead of everything going through wires, these days many concerts broadcast the music wirelessly so the band members can hear what the others are playing. And every now and then, people manage to pick up that signal and record it, even though it has a very, very limited broadcast frequency. I'm pretty sure that's what happened here, although it's just generically described as a soundboard by the people who made the original liner notes.

Actually, the people who recorded this also recorded the concert the day before, held in the same Glasgow venue. I decided to post only one, since the set lists were basically identical. (Dylan pretty much played the same songs for the entire short European tour this was a part of. But, as I mentioned above, it's a drastically different set from what he was playing earlier in the year.) So I read some reviews. Both shows were rated highly. Generally, most people think Dylan has been "on" during this tour, singing well and clearly, and generally being engaged. But I read slightly better things about the November 17th concert, so I decided to process that one.

And it turns out it needed a lot of processing. The main problem is that there was virtually NO audience noise whatsoever. Furthermore, the people who turned it into a bootleg cut out everything but the music, probably since they figured it would sound strange to hear dead silence between songs. But the downside is that made it sound like one long song. I think having clear breaks between songs really helps.

So I wanted to fix things, but there was no audience noise to work with at all. I decided on a drastic approach I've never used before. I downloaded an audience bootleg of a Dylan concert from Dublin, which took place a few days after this one. Then, using the MVSEP program, I split the crowd noise from the music for all those songs. Then I took the crowd noise from the beginnings and ends of each of the songs and pasted them into the same songs in this concert. It helped greatly that the set lists were almost exactly the same, with one extra song played in Dublin. Thus, what you're getting here is the real audience reaction to each song, song by song. It's just that the reaction is from a different concert that took place a few days later.

Anyway, I don't know how confusing that sounds. But the bottom line is that the appropriate sounding audience noise has been added, when there had been no audience noise at all. So I think that makes this a big improvement from the version I took it from. I've left in the original notes, so you can see who to thank, and what they did.

I made some other changes as well. The main one is that, occasionally, I noticed some brief dropouts, lasting a second or less. That's not long, but it's long enough for my ear to notice something was off. Every time I heard one of those dropouts, I tracked down the exact spot and did some audio editing to fill in the silence. Since they were very short dropouts, I usually fixed it just by stretching the music on either side a little bit to fill in the gap. That happened in a bunch of songs. I've included "[Edit]" in the titles of two songs where I found two or three such gaps. But there were some others where I found one, and fixed those as well. 

Oh, by the way, track 17, where the other band members are introduced, comes entirely from the Dublin show. Dylan makes those introductions in every concert. But it seems the people who made this bootleg cut everything but the songs so thoroughly that they cut that too. Since that comes from a middling sounding boot, I ran that track through the Adobe Enhance Speech program to make his banter more intelligible. 

If you want to know more about the concert, here's a good review of it:

I don't know where or when the cover image is from. I just know it's from 2025. I could have found a better photo probably, but I thought this was fitting with his face partially obscured, since he's taken to practically hiding on stage. Apparently, if you go see him in concert in recent years, you're lucky to get to see even this much of his face.

Steve Earle, Diana Jones, & Tom Morello - Bush Hall, London, Britain, 3-11-2012

Here's another episode of the excellent BBC TV show "Songwriters' Circle." Like other episodes, it features three singer-songwriters who take turns performing their songs on guitar or piano. This one consists of Steve Earle, Diana Jones, and Tom Morello.

Before I say anything more, I want to thank a musical friend named Peter. I had hit a wall finding many episodes of this series, but he sent me a bunch. As I write this, I think only three are still missing.

For this show, in my opinion, Steve Earle and Tom Morello are quite famous, while Diana Jones is relatively unknown. Earle has had a long and successful career in rock, folk, and country since the mid-1980s. While he hasn't had many hits, he's gained lots of respect as a songwriter, with many big names covering his songs. He's also won three Grammy Awards. Here's his Wikipedia link if you want to know more:

Steve Earle - Wikipedia 

Diana Jones released her first album in 1997. But, as he Wikipedia bio points out, "Jones's career gained wider critical acclaim in 2006 with the release of her album, 'My Remembrance of You.' The album made a number of critics end-of-the-year 'best of' lists." Her music has mixed country and folk. Here's the rest of her Wikipedia entry:

Diana Jones (singer-songwriter) - Wikipedia 

Finally, there's Tom Morello. He first came to fame as the lead guitarist for the band Rage Against the Machine. He's also been a member of the rock bands Audioslave and Prophets of Rage. However, he's done very different music in a parallel solo career, often under the name the Nightwatchman, consisting of acoustic folk music. That also is more of an outlet for his socialist, political views. The music he performed in this concert is in his solo style, and miles away from his rocking Rage Against the Machine style. Here's his Wikipedia entry:

Tom Morello - Wikipedia 

The Songwriter's Circle show didn't last long. There were a few episodes in 1999. Then it seemed the show was cancelled, but it came back for more episodes in 2010 and 2011. There were just three final episodes in 2012, and this was one of them. 

I got this from Peter as one big, high-quality video file. I converted it to audio, then broke it into mp3s. The music is unreleased and the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 57 minutes long.

Chris Rea - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: In Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 6-7-1980

We've lost another one. While I was on Christmas vacation, I heard that Chris Rea died. He died on December 22, 2025, at the age of 74. That came after many years of serious health issues. He almost died of a stomach ulcer in 1994, and had pancreatic cancer in 2001, a stroke in 2016, and much more. But he doggedly kept making music, with his last studio album coming in 2019. So I've decided to post some music from him.

To be honest, I'm shockingly ignorant about Rea, given how much I know of other music done by similar musicians. I guess that's mainly because I'm American. Rea only had one hit in the U.S., "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" in 1978. By contrast, he was a big star in Britain and the rest of Europe. For instance, looking at his discography, I count 47 Top 100 hit singles he had in Britain, with 13 of those reaching the Top Forty. He sold over 30 million records worldwide. 

And until now, I've been oblivious to nearly all of that. I literally only know him for "Fool (If You Think It's Over)." So I'm fast tracking some BBC albums by him, which will help me learn his music. It also happens that he only released one official live album ("The Road to Hell and Back," released in 2006), so posting some BBC concerts will help flesh out his live career. 

Rea found success right away. He was in a few bands for a few years as he developed his skills. But his first single release on a major record label was "Fool (If You Think It's Over)," which would become one of his best known songs. Weirdly though, it seems he didn't actually like the song very much, since it wasn't done in a style he preferred. He later said, "It's the only track I never played guitar on, which tells you something about the spirit of it. On top of that, it was just a huge hit. So there was nothing I could do. It was like: 'This is not me!'" Perhaps because of that, I haven't seen it on any of the BBC concerts he performed, and I found a handful of those. But I wanted to have at least one version of it on one album, so I found a good, live, non-BBC version, and I've included that at the end of this album as a kind of quasi-bonus track. It's from a concert in Newcastle, Britain, in December 1978.

Although "Fool" was a hit in the U.S., it only did okay in Britain. He kept plugging away, releasing new albums in 1979 and 1980. He didn't have any more hit songs or albums during that time, but he made enough of a name for himself to finally get a short BBC concert in 1980. The first seven tracks here come from that. 

Note that I've found different versions of this BBC concert floating around the Internet. Most of them are poorly labelled as only being from 1980, or August 1980. I was able to dig a little deeper and found a version with a specific date. This one also has an introduction by BBC DJ Bob Killby from the actual concert, whereas other versions had an introduction by BBC DJ Brian Matthew that was added later. That version also has the same songs, but the last song was cut short by about two minutes. So this is the superior version. 

Tracks 8 and 9 are from a 1978 episode of the BBC TV show "Old Grey Whistle Test." I didn't have any better place to put those, so I've stuck them here are more quasi-bonus tracks. They were done in the studio without any crowd noise, while all the rest of the songs have crowd noise.

This album is 43 minutes long. The main BBC show makes up 32 minutes of that.

R.E.M. - B&L Warehouse, Athens, GA, 4-24-1981

Here's a really interesting, great sounding concert recording by a very early version of R.E.M. This was so early in their career that they hadn't even released their first single yet. ("Radio Free Europe" would come out as a single in July.) This concert was available as a middling sounding audience boot for a long time. But apparently it was only a few weeks ago when a high-quality soundboard version emerged. That probably makes this the best sounding concert recording from this very early era for the band.

This was sent to me by musical associate Lil Panda. He got it from Rob, who is the person who runs the dB's Repercussion music blog. It's an excellent blog, and one I've mentioned before, but here's the link if you're not aware of it:

https://dbs-repercussion.blogspot.com/

Anyway, Rob wrote some notes about this concert, which I've included in the download zip file. In those notes, he mentions this: "T. Patton Biddle (aka Pat the Wiz) of Athens, GA, is the source for this recording. He was the sound tech for many of R.E.M.'s shows in and around Athens in the early 1980s. This comes from a first-generation analog copy of the master reel, recorded by Pat as he ran sound for R.E.M.'s opening set." So thanks to Lil Panda, Rob, and Pat the Wiz!

This contains all the songs the band performed. (It was a short set, since they were the opening act for XTC.) Unfortunately though, the taper didn't start taping until about a minute into the first song, "Radio Free Europe," and he ran out of tape after about a minute and a half of the last song, "Gardening at Night." So I found different early live versions of those two songs (from a concert in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1982), and used those to fill in the missing portions. I had to make some changes to get them to fit. It was especially noticeable that this version of "Radio Free Europe" was much faster than the 1982 one. Anyway, that's why those two songs have "[Edit]" in their titles.

When I first saw the song list to this concert, I was confused, because I didn't recognize about half of the songs. It turns out the band played some pretty obscure songs, all originals. Four of the songs here remain officially unreleased: "Body Count," "Dangerous Times," "Hey Hey Nadine," and "That Beat." Three more are rarities from the "Dead Letter Office" compilation album: "All the Right Friends," "Burning Down," and "Windout." Another, "Gardening at Night," is from the band's early EP "Chronic Town." That just leaves four songs from the "Murmur" album, which would be released in 1983, and the "Reckoning" album, which would be released in 1984.

This album is 46 minutes long.

01 Radio Free Europe [Edit] (R.E.M.)
02 Burning Down (R.E.M.)
03 Dangerous Times (R.E.M.)
04 All the Right Friends (R.E.M.)
05 Shaking Through (R.E.M.)

The cover image is from an advertisement for this exact concert. When I came across it, I saw that it was close to square (I widened it a bit), so I thought it would make a good cover. The only change is that the concert actually featured XTC and R.E.M., with XTC the headlining act. So I erased XTC and made R.E.M. larger to fill in the difference.

Curtis Mayfield with the Impressions - The Midnight Special, NBC Studios, Burbank, CA, 4-19-1974

Here's another episode of the excellent "Midnight Special" TV show. This one is hosted by soul music singer-songwriter Curtis Mayfield.

Mayfield hosted the show twice, once in 1973 and once in 1974, as well as appearing on it a few other times. I compiled his 1973 appearances into an album I've posted here already. This one mainly consists of the 1974 episode he hosted, but it has bits from three other episodes as well, one from 1974 and two from 1973.

In addition to Mayfield, the main guest here is the soul band the Impressions. From about 1960 until 1970, Mayfield was the main lead vocalist and songwriter for the Impressions. But after he left the band for a solo career, he continued to stay closely involved, producing many of their new songs, and even writing some of them. That continued collaboration can be seen here, by the fact that he was on the same episode of the Midnight Special with them twice, and performed one song with them in a 1973 episode.

The first eight tracks come from the 1974 episode mentioned in the title, broadcast on April 19, 1974. "If I Were a Child Again" comes from a February 1, 1974 episode. "Back to the World" is from a September 14, 1973 episode. (I included it here because he did another version of that song in the 1973 album I've posted from him.) 

The last five tracks, 11 through 15, come from a February 2, 1973 episode. I put those songs here even though they're closer in time to the 1973 episode I've posted from him because those involved more collaboration with the Impressions, as well as a repeat of another song ("Superfly") I posted on the other episode from him. That episode was hosted by Helen Reddy, who would go on to host the show a surprising number of times. I didn't want to bring her into this too much, so I could keep the focus on Mayfield and/or the Impressions. But she did join in singing "Amen" with Mayfield and the Impressions, a traditional gospel song that the Impressions had a hit with in 1964, when Mayfield was the band's lead singer.

In case you're curious, the other guest stars on the 1974 episode that Mayfield hosted were Gladys Knight & the Pips, Status Quo, Phil Ochs, and Sugarloaf. I already have use the Gladys Knight songs on a different album I've posted from them. 

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. As I often do with these episodes, I did a lot of editing to smooth the transitions between songs, usually by adding in some extra audience cheering. A couple of tracks have "[Edit]" in their titles due to extra editing. For the first one, I used MVSEP to remove the theme song and replace it with more applause. For the second one, I merged some different talking bits together from different parts of the show. 

This album is 45 minutes long.

Chris Isaak with Stevie Nicks, Michael Buble & Brian McKnight - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 9-21-2004

Here's a little Christmas gift - some Christmassy music. This is another episode of the excellent "PBS Soundstage" TV show. Chris Isaak was the host, but he also had three guest stars: Stevie Nicks, Michael Buble, and Brian McKnight.

I actually posted a Soundstage episode starring Chris Isaak already, from 2003. But he came back only a year later probably because of the Christmas theme, so all the music was different. He actually would go on to host the show yet again in 2005. I'll post that one eventually as well.

Isaak generally sang most of the songs, and then sang duets with the guests. Then everyone came back to take part in the final song.

I should have posted this earlier in the winter holiday season, but at least I posted it a few days before Christmas. Happy holidays!

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.

Leon Russell, Nick Lowe, & Paul Brady - Songwriters' Circle, Porchester Hall, London, Britain, 10-7-2011

Recently, a musical friend named Peter sent me several episodes of the "Songwriters' Circle" BBC TV show. That inspired me to organize some that I had already. So while I didn't get this one from Peter, his sharing is responsible for me finishing getting it ready to be posted. This episode features the singer-songwriters Leon Russell, Nick Lowe, and Paul Brady taking turns performing their songs.

I've already posted a bunch of music by Nick Lowe, with more to come, so I don't feel the need to say much about him. Suffice to say that he's great.

I've also already posted a joint Leon Russell and Elton John concert. But I didn't say that much about him then, so I'll say a bit more now. Actually, to make it easy on myself, I'll just quote the introductory paragraph to his Wikipedia entry:

"[Russell] was an American musician and songwriter who was involved with numerous bestselling records during his 60-year career that spanned multiple genres, including rock and roll, country, gospel, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, southern rock, blues rock, folk, surf and the Tulsa sound. His recordings earned six gold records and he received two Grammy Awards from seven nominations. In 1973, Billboard named Russell the 'Top Concert Attraction in the World.' In 2011, he was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame." He died in 2016. 

Here's the link if you want to read the rest of the very informative Wikipedia entry about him:

Leon Russell - Wikipedia 

So that leaves Paul Brady, who is the least well known of the three. The Wikipedia intro isn't so good for him, so I'll try to write something myself. Brady is a singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland. His career began in the late 1960s and 1970s when he concentrated on playing traditional Irish music. But starting in the early 1980s, he switched to doing his own songs, in pop and rock styles. He didn't have big commercial success on his own, but many musical acts covered his songs, including Bonnie Raitt, Santana, Dave Edmunds, and Tina Turner. 

Here's an interesting quote that Bob Dylan included in his "Biograph" box set, released in 1985, that names Brady:

"[P]eople get too famous too fast these days and it destroys them. Some guys got it down - Leonard Cohen, Paul Brady, Lou Reed, secret heroes, John Prine, David Allen Coe, Tom Waits. I listen more to that kind of stuff than whatever is popular at the moment. They're not just witchdoctoring up the planet, they don't set up barriers."

Here's his Wikipedia page if you want to know more:

Paul Brady - Wikipedia 

In terms of the musical content of this album, I don't have much to say. It follows the same format of other episodes of this TV series. Russell stuck to playing piano, while Lowe and Brady played acoustic guitars. They mostly just sang their own songs, but there are some backing vocals where they helped each other out, especially on the last couple of songs. 

The music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 58 minutes long.

Nirvana - Palaghiaccio di Marino, Marino, Italy, 2-22-1994

I've never posted a Nirvana album until now. That hasn't been deliberate, I do like their music. But it seems to me there's a huge amount of attention on the bootlegs of just a few musical acts, like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, and so on. I figure other websites are taking care of them, and I'd rather post more obscure stuff that's getting neglected. But if I can post something from those big acts that's different, I will. Recently, I got a request to post this Nirvana concert. I looked into it, and realized there were things I could do to improve the sound quality, so here it is, hopefully sounding better than ever before.

In late 1993, Nirvana released the album "In Utero." It was a big hit, going on to sell about 16 million copies worldwide. This appears to be the only truly excellent sounding live recording from the tour to promote the album, due to it being broadcast on Italian radio at the time. (That's not counting the "MTV Unplugged" concert, which was a different type of concert.) 

It's also important because it was one of the very last concerts Nirvana performed before the band's leader Kurt Cobain committed suicide, ending the band. This concert took place on February 22, 1994. After that, the band had one TV show appearance, plus four more concerts, with the last one on March 1st. On March 4th, Cobain very nearly overdosed on drugs, resulting in a canceling of the rest of the tour. About a month later, he was found dead of suicide back in Seattle, Washington. Apparently he died on April 5th, though his body wasn't discovered until three days later. So this concert is close to the last word from the band.

In terms of sound quality, this was almost too good. What I mean by that is the recording made for radio focused so well on recording what was happening on stage that very little audience noise was recorded. So I used MVSEP to split the tracks into crowd noise and everything else. Then I greatly boosted the volume of the crowd noise, and put the tracks back together. The crowd noise is still rather low sometimes, but at least now the songs get an expected crowd reaction. While I was at it, I noticed the vocals were also relatively low in the mix, which I've noticed is all too common for live recordings. So I fixed that too, using the same MVSEP method.

This recording already sounded excellent. But it should sound even better now, due to those two fixes. 

This album is an hour and 16 minutes long.

The cover photo of Kurt Cobain isn't from this exact concert, but it's close. It's a concert in Milan, Italy, that took place just a couple of days later. I actually tried to use a screenshot taken from this exact concert, but I decided the quality was low and it was better to try something else.

Tony Joe White - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, American Music Festival, Crystal Palace Bowl, London, Britain, 7-2-1992

I recently posted two Tony Joe White BBC albums from the 1970s. This one is from much later, 1992, when he had a career revival.

White had a lot of commercial and critical success in the late 1960s and early 1970s. But he didn't have much success in the late 1970s and through most of the 1980s. Things started to turn around for him in 1989, due to his songwriting. Four of his songs were chosen for Tina Turner's 1989 album "Foreign Affair." Two of those were hits, "Steamy Windows" and "Undercover Agent for the Blues." (Both of those songs are performed here.) That gave his own music career a new lease on life, resulting in a new record contract. His 1991 album "Closer to the Truth" was mostly ignored in the U.S., but it sold pretty well in Europe and Australia. All the songs here are from that album, except for "Polk Salad Annie," which was a big hit for him in 1969.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 29 minutes long.

Diana Krall - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: Wigan Jazz Festival, The Mill at the Pier, Wigan, Britain, 7-17-1998

At first, two months ago in October 2025, I posted a Diana Krall BBC concert from 2004. I thought that was all there was, and I was lucky to find that, because searches of her name and BBC basically came up empty. Then, last month, I found another one from 2009. I thought that was all there was, and I was lucky to find that (due to Progsprog sharing his music with me). But a few days ago, yet another Diana Krall BBC concert appeared for the first time at a bootleg sharing site. So here we are again.

This one is from 1998, early in her career. (She released her first album in 1993.) Because of that, I'm renaming the other two, to "Volume 2" and "Volume 3," respectively. Here are the links to those updated versions:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2025/11/diana-krall-bbc-sessions-volume-2.html

This is a relatively short concert. It's just a trio, with Krall on keyboards, plus a guitarist and bassist. So one could say it was an acoustic performance.

The music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent.

Let's hope more Diana Krall BBC concerts mysteriously emerge. 

This album is 50 minutes long.

Various Artists - Concert for a Landmine Free World, Point Theatre, Dublin, Ireland, 1-14-2002

I just found this the other day, and I liked it so much that I'm posting it straight away. I've posted a bunch of "Songwriter's Circle" BBC TV shows. This isn't from that show, but it follows the same format: several singer-songwriters sitting next to each other and taking turns singing their songs. In this case, there were four: Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Elvis Costello, and John Prine.

The concert was one of six concerts in Europe in 2002, all called "Concert for a Landmine Free World." This, in turn, was just one of several concert tours for that cause, which took place from at least 1997 to 2017. Most of them have been helmed by Emmylou Harris. However, I can't find much information about these tours. There was one official album containing some highlights from a 1999 tour, but it's very hard to find. Other than that, there are only a small number of bootlegs, and they generally are audience boots with sound quality too poor for my standards. 

This one concert is an exception though. This recording has been called a soundboard boot. I doubt that though, because one often hears clapping between songs from what sounds like people extremely close to the recording spot. I think it's more likely that it's just a very, very, very well recorded audience boot. Not all audience boots are the same. Every now and then, you can find one that sounds as good or better than a typical soundboard, if superior recording equipment was used, and the location was ideal, and the people nearby were quiet, and so forth. But whatever the case, this sounds good enough to be an official live album, so don't worry about the quality.

Of the six concerts in 2002, five of them also had Nanci Griffith in it. For some reason, in seems she couldn't attend this one. That's a bummer, but on the plus side it means we got even more songs from the remaining four stars, who in my opinion are all major musical talents. For the most part, each of them just sang and played guitar on their own songs. But later in the show, Emmylou Harris, who is kind of the queen of harmony vocalizing in the music world, sang backing vocals on some songs. And everyone joined in on two songs ("God's Comic" and "Paradise").    

This album is two hours long exactly.

I couldn't find a photo from this exact concert. However, I found one from a concert in Belfast the day before. It had two other people in it, including Nanci Griffith. So I carefully zoomed in and cropped them out. The quality is a bit rough, and Krea AI didn't help much in this case.

Little Feat with Bonnie Raitt - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Town and Country Club, London, Britain, 12-8-1988

Here's the second and last Little Feat BBC album that I've found. Like the first one, it's a concert. It also features Bonnie Raitt playing on a few songs, and even sharing lead vocals on a couple of them.

At the end of the 1970s, Little Feat broke up. They also lost their main musical force, lead vocalist and lead guitarist Lowell George, who died in 1979. But the regrouped with the album "Let It Roll." Not only was it a surprise hit, but they actually had more commercial success than ever before. It contained two big hit songs, " Hate to Lose Your Lovin'" and "Let It Roll." I was just watching an NFL Thursday Night Football game last night, and the show played part of "Let It Roll" as background music at one point, showing how that song has become an establish classic. 

I think the key to their resurgence was Craig Fuller. You may not have heard of him, but he's a very talented songwriter. For instance, he wrote "Amie," a hit by the Pure Prairie League in 1972. He joined Little Feat when they reunited, and cowrote eight out of ten songs on their "Let It Roll" album. He also became one of the band's main lead vocalists. He stayed with the band until 1993, and occasional reunions after that. 

Anyway, the typical version of this concert bootleg is just short of an hour long. The BBC often cut concerts down to that length to make it fit an hour-long radio show time slot. But I found one version that was longer - an extra 40 minutes. I also found a set list of the correct song order, and saw the longer version had a scrambled song order. So I put the concert back pretty close to the correct order. ("Down on the Farm" is slightly out of place.)

As I mentioned above Bonnie Raitt was a guest star on some songs. For four songs, she played slide guitar and sometimes sang backing vocals. But for two songs, "Man Size Job" and "Rock and Roll Doctor," she shared lead vocals. Check the song list for the songs she was on, because she came and went from the stage multiple times. Note that Raitt has a long history with Little Feat, as she absolutely loves that band. For instance, I've also posted an episode of the "Midnight Special" from 1977 when she performed with the band then as well.

Here's a random side note. For years, I've been using the program TagScanner to help with making the mp3 tags and fixing the file names for the albums in my music collection. I've never had any notable problem with the program in all that time, except for one weird quirk: any time I have a song with "Little Feat" in the name, and I save a change, it changes it to "Little feat" (lower case "f"). Every single damn time! If I try "Little Fead" or anything else similar? No problem. Just the exact spelling of "Little Feat" specifically. And it's never happened with any other musical act name. It's so bizarre! Would anyone have an explanation for this? (Luckily, I also use a second program, called Mp3tag, so I fixed this problem in that program.) 

This album is an hour and 39 minutes long.

The cover photo is from an appearance on the "Saturday Night Live" TV show in 1988. I believe one band member got cropped out because he was way to the side. I would have liked to use a photo of the band with Bonnie Raitt from this time, but I couldn't find any like that except from the 1970s. To be honest, it was hard to even find a decent photo of the band from around 1988 at all.

In Concert Against AIDS, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA, 5-27-1989, Part 4: The Grateful Dead with Clarence Clemons

Here's the fourth and last out of four albums I made from the "In Concert Against AIDS" concert in 1989. This one consists of a set by the Grateful Dead. Furthermore, they were joined by saxophonist Clarence Clemons for more than half of the songs they played.

In the late 1980s, the Grateful Dead had a surge of popularity. This was due to their 1987 hit album "In the Dark," and especially one song from it, "Touch of Grey," which was their only song to ever reach the Top Ten of the U.S. singles chart. As a result, they were the headliner for this benefit concert. 

They proceeded to play a typical concert, with a typically long length. This album is nearly two and a half hours long, and that's after I cut out many lengthy pauses between songs. But they did make a nod to the fact that many in the crowd weren't the usual devout Deadheads by performing their two best known songs, "Touch of Grey" and "Truckin'." 

By most accounts, their performance wasn't extraordinary or unusual compared to their many other concerts that year. But what did set it apart was the presence of Clarence Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band joining with his saxophone on a majority of the songs. I mentioned Clemons in Part 2 of this concert, because he also played saxophone on a couple of John Fogerty's songs.

I looked it up, and it turns out Clemons joined in a Jerry Garcia Band concert earlier in 1989. But this was the first time he played with Garcia in an actual Grateful Dead concert. His soulful style added an interesting element. It was so successful that he went on to play at about a dozen more Dead concerts later that year. He sometimes played with the Dead and/or splinter bands after that, but not as frequently.

This album is two hours and 23 minutes long.

In Concert Against AIDS, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA, 5-27-1989, Part 2: John Fogerty with the Grateful Dead

Here's the second out of four albums I made from the "In Concert Against AIDS" concert in 1989. This one consists of a set by John Fogerty, backed by the Grateful Dead. Well, kind of the Grateful Dead, as I'll explain in a minute.

At the time, Fogerty hadn't been on tour since 1985, and he didn't have a backing band, so he got some very talented musicians to support him just for this concert. Specifically, he was supported Jerry Garcia on lead guitar, Bob Weir on rhythm guitar, Randy Jackson on bass, and Steve Jordan on drums. Jackson and Jordan were very well respected session musicians at the time. Jackson would later go on to greater fame as one of the judges on the "American Idol" TV show. And if you know anything about the Grateful Dead, you'd know the two best known members were Garcia and Weir. They were the lead vocalists and songwriters for the vast majority of the band's original songs. So whether one can consider this the Grateful Dead is debatable, since the other band members were missing. But in my opinion, at least, I'd consider anything with Garcia and Weir in it to be the essence of the Grateful Dead, even if it was just the two of them in a duo.

On top of that, Clarence Clemons added his saxophone playing for the last two songs. He was a long time member of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Band, but he also had a hit of his own in the 1980s. 

Fogerty is best known as the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) in the 1960s and early 1970s. He effectively retired from the music business from 1976 to 1985. But then he came back with a big hit album in 1985 ("Centerfield") and another album in 1986. When he went on tour in 1985 and 1986 to support those albums, he avoided playing all of his many CCR hits, due to a dispute with his record company. But in 1987, he was persuaded to resume playing his CCR songs, and did so at a one-off benefit concert that year. I think this was the second big concert where he played those songs, and it was a big deal at the time. Furthermore, the fact that Garcia and Weir were going to back him on was announced in advance, adding to the anticipation.

Here's what a Los Angeles Times article from the day after the concert had to say: "Fogerty's set... [was] a wonderful occasion in and of itself. It wasn't just that Fogerty devoted most of the show to old Creedence Clearwater Revival hits that he rarely plays because of bitterness toward his old record company. It was the sheer, smiling delight and vocal aplomb he brought to the performance. Grateful Dead guitarists Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir lent unremarkable support, but Fogerty, drummer Steve Jordan, and bassist Randy Jackson supplied all the sizzle one could ask. Saxophonist Clarence Clemons, the day's only surprise guest, turned up to haunt through an encore rock-out to 'Suzie Q' and 'Long Tall Sally.'" 

As the article noted, Garcia and Weir were pretty restrained in their playing. Fogerty's songs were short and simple, so they respected that. That meant Garcia didn't go off on lengthy solos like he did with the Dead, but stuck to what the songs needed, based on the original versions. They also added backing vocals on some songs, with Weir singing more than Garcia. It looked like Garcia was having a ball, smiling through most of the set. Probably, he enjoyed simply being a backing musician through a bunch of classic songs that he loved, instead of having to be the main star, which was almost always the case for him. 

This album is 41 minutes long.

In Concert Against AIDS, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA, 5-27-1989, Part 3: Tracy Chapman

Here's the third out of four albums I made from the "In Concert Against AIDS" concert in 1989. This one consists of a set by singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman.

By 1989, Chapman was a big star, after her self-titled debut album sold about 20 million copies. At the time of this concert, she was still a few months away from releasing her second album, "Crossroads." A couple of songs she performed, "Subcity" and "All That You Have Is Your Soul," would appear on that album.

None of the other musical acts spoke about AIDS in their banter between songs, but she did. Here's how a Los Angeles Times article at the time put it: "Chapman, known for her pointed avoidance of between-song chatter, told a respectful audience that the occasion demanded talk as well as music. She decried a lack of government commitment to fighting AIDS, then called for listeners to have personal commitment that might lead to change."

Note however that while the other musical acts didn't directly address the issue, there were video presentations between the sets about AIDS, as well as a lot of informational pamphlets handed out, and the like. 

The music is unreleased, but the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 50 minutes long.

In Concert Against AIDS, Oakland Coliseum Stadium, Oakland, CA, 5-27-1989, Part 1: Tower of Power, Joe Satriani, and Los Lobos

Here's another big benefit concert with lots of big name stars. It's another case where these kinds of concerts seem to have mostly been forgotten, so I'm trying to give them the attention they deserve. I found enough for four albums from this concert. Here's the first one.

In the 1980s especially, the disease AIDS was a big issue. There was a lot of misinformation and fear about it. Ronald Reagan, who was president of the U.S. from 1981 to 1989, didn't even mention AIDS in public until 1985, despite it being a big news story since 1981, and he didn't give a speech addressing it until 1987. Foolish people were saying AIDS was a punishment from God for homosexuality (though eventually way more non-homosexuals would get it), and that one could get it from toilet seats and kissing and the like (which was untrue). So this concert was meant to help raise awareness about to issue as well as raise money to fund non-profits that were working on the issue.

The concert was held in the Oakland Coliseum, which could hold about 50,000 people. But I've come across some articles from the time period. It turns out there was so much fear and misinformation about AIDS at the time that about 20,000 tickets were unsold, and the articles cited opinions that some people were staying away out of fear of AIDS. For instance, famous music promoter Bill Graham, who helped promote this festival, said at the time, "There are people who are staying away out of fear, and they need to be educated." As if you could get AIDS just by attending a concert about AIDS! Sheesh!

Anyway, this first album essentially contains the warm-up acts before the bigger names performed later. Los Lobos was already a pretty big name, especially after they had a Number One single in the U.S. with "La Bamba" in 1987, so they get most of the time here. However, it's possible the first two acts, Joe Satriani and Tower of Power, performed more songs. I don't know. I put these albums together from multiple sources, and none of them had everything, which increases the chances there are more pieces I couldn't find.

This album is an hour and two minutes long.

Oingo Boingo - Reseda Country Club, Los Angeles, CA, 5-21-1984

The other day, I wanted to listen to Oingo Boingo, but I wanted to hear something different. I thought I had all the really excellent sounding live recordings from the band's early years, which is my favorite time period for them. There are only a few worthy bootlegs, and I've posted most of them. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover one more.

This took place almost a year after the release of the 1983 album "Good for Your Soul." But they still hadn't released anything new since then, so the songs generally come from that album, plus the two previous ones.

This comes from a soundboard bootleg. The sound quality is excellent, and there were no problems to fix. But there is one unfortunate thing, and that's that it's not complete. I looked it up at setlist.com, and around this time, the band usually ended the show with an encore of "Violent Love" and "Only a Lad." Those are missing. Plus, they played one or more songs before the first song here. For instance, they almost certainly played "Wake Up (It's 1984)," since it was very relevant in the year of 1984. But hey, at least we have the vast majority of the concert, with maybe ten to 20 minutes missing. 

I looked around for versions of "Violent Love" and "Only a Lad" to add as bonus tracks, but I couldn't find any with worthy sound quality from 1983, 1984, or 1985. So I decided to just stick with this.

This album is an hour and seven minutes long.

Madness - BBC Sessions, Volume 7: In Concert, New Broadcasting House, London, Britain, 12-11-2025

Here's a concert from a mere week ago (as I post this in mid-December 2025). It's the British band Madness performing a concert for the BBC. 

True, they're getting pretty long in the tooth by this time, and I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to post this or not. But they've done pretty well in their later years, both commercially and critically. In fact, their most recent album, "Theatre of the Absurd Presents C'est la Vie," released in 2023, actually reached Number One in the British album charts. Surprisingly, that was their first number one album (though it should be noted that doesn't mean nearly as much as it used to, since album sales have plummeted in general). 

Most importantly, I listened to the album and though it was a strong performance, so I decided to post it. This could easily be mistaken for a recording from decades earlier. That's true of the song list as well. They were promoting a new greatest hits album, released the month before, so they concentrated on their best known songs and didn't play anything from their latest album. The only surprise is they finished with the cover song "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday," a hit for Wizzard in 1973, to mark the Christmas season.

I found a high-quality video file of this concert at a bootleg site. I converted it into audio format and chopped it into mp3s. The music here is unreleased, but the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is an hour and 12 minutes long.

Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt & Joe Ely - Songwriters' Circle, Bush Hall, London, Britain, 10-15-2010

American singer-songwriter Joe Ely died yesterday, December 15, 2025, of age-related issues. He was 78 years old. It so happens that I'm not very familiar with his music. I've heard good things, but there's just so much music out there, I haven't gotten to everything I'd want to. So I hadn't planned to post anything to mark his passing. But it also just so happens that I had an episode of the BBC TV show "Songwriters' Circle" in which Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, and Joe Ely took turns performing their songs. I figured this was the ideal time to post that, so here it is.

Before I say anything else, I want to give a thanks to a musical friend named Peter. A few weeks ago, he sent me a bunch of high quality full-length videos of this show, including this one. So I plan on posting a few more in the near future, knock on wood. He didn't have all of them, however. Here's a list of the ones I still don't have:

Joan Baez, Matraca Berg & Gretchen Peters
Paul Heaton & Dave Rotheray, Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham, & John Martyn
Allen Toussaint, James Dean Bradfield, & John Grant
Bill Anderson, Clint Black, & Bob DiPiero

If anyone has any of those and wants to share, please do. I've noticed the one with Toussaint, Bradfield and Grant is on YouTube, but only individual songs in no particular order, and no banter between songs. So I'd rather hold out for the whole show with that one.

Another comment before I get to the details of this album: some of the videos that Peter sent me were of episodes I already had. I didn't need to make any changes to the audio for those. However, some of the album covers I made weren't very good, based on low-res YouTube videos. I was able to remake some of the covers, and they look much better now. In fact, I've made at least some changes to all the Songwriters' Circle covers I've posted so far, standardizing the font type and size, and things like that. So I recommend you redownload those. Look to the label on the side of this blog called "Songwriters' Circle." There should be five of them prior to this one.

Okay, getting to the content of this album already, if you look at the cover image, you can probably tell that all three singer-songwriters here had long careers by the time they appeared on this show in 2010. Joe Ely's first album (with the Flatlanders) is from 1972, John Hiatt's first album is from 1974, and Lyle Lovett's first album is from 1986. They all are influenced by folk and country, so their styles fit well together.

As is the usual format for the show, each of them took turns performing songs, then they came together to all perform the last song. However, there were some instances where they backed each other on guitar or backing vocals. I only included that in the song credits if it was significant, such as "Thing Called Love," a Hiatt song where Lovett also had a prominent singing role. 

The music is unreleased, and the sound quality is excellent. 

This album is an hour and two minutes long.

Little Feat with Tower of Power - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: In Concert, L'Olympia, Paris, France, 2-3-1975

Here's a BBC concert album from the band Little Feat. It took place when they were at or near their musical prime, in 1975. It also contains a short opening set by the band Tower of Power.

This concert was a popular bootleg for a long time, ever since people recorded it off the radio. In 2024, the Little Feat portion was finally officially released, as extra tracks on the deluxe edition of the band's 1974 album "Feats Don't Fail Me Now." I used that recording for that portion of the concert. However, I was surprised to discover that recording has a serious flaw (and one not shared with the Tower of Power section), in that the vocals were quite low in the mix. So I brought the vocals back up to where they should have been, to match the Tower of Power section, using the MVSEP program. So now this should sound better than it ever has sounded before.

The Tower of Power section is 20 minutes long, while the Little Feat portion is 55 minutes long. The Tower of Power section is still unreleased. The sound quality is excellent throughout.

There's been some contradictory information about when this concert took place. I've seen some sources say February 1st, while others say February 3rd. When I first posted this, I had it as February 1st. But then I was sent some more information by a commenter, and that swayed me to change it to February 3rd just one day later. 

Note that I found a second BBC concert Little Feat did much later, so this is "Volume 1." I hope to post "Volume 2" soon as well.

This album is an hour and 15 minutes long.

The Bee Gees with Chuck Berry - The Midnight Special, NBC Studios, Burbank, CA, 10-12-1973

Here's yet another album from the Bee Gees on the "Midnight Special" TV show. They hosted the show four times in 1973 and one time in 1975, and I've made albums of each of those episodes. This is the last one I'm posting from them. What makes this one stand out is they performed with one of the show's guests, Chuck Berry.

By the early 1970s, it seemed Berry's hit-making years were over, he had tons of hits from 1955 to 1964, but none since. But then, in 1972, he had a novelty hit called "My Ding-a-Ling" that didn't just do a little well - it went all the way to Number One on the U.S. and British singles charts. That made it the biggest hit of his career. As a result, his career was revived for a while, leading to TV appearances like this one, as well as a one-hour long concert on BBC TV. Luckily, he didn't actually play "My Ding-a-Ling" - it's a long song that gets old fast. Instead, he played some of his classics. And for two of those, he sang with the Bee Gees. 

However, more of the songs were performed by the Bee Gees on their own. They played some rather unexpected songs. For instance, "Lay It on Me" appeared on a 1970 album, but it wasn't a hit. And "Bye Bye Blackbird" is a cover of a song from 1926 that they never officially released in any form. 

In case you're curious, these are the other guests on the episode they hosted: Lee Michaels, King Crimson, Apple & Appleberry, and Barbara Mason.

The music here is unreleased, and the song quality is excellent. As usual with Midnight Special shows, I did a lot of extra editing, for instance adding applause to smooth over transitions between songs. I cut out some talking from the talking bits, for instance when performers for future episodes were discusssed, which is why some of those have "[Edit]" in their names. 

This album is 32 minutes long.

The Small Faces - Live: 1966-1968

I recently got a request by a commenter to post updated links for all the Small Faces albums I've posted. (Sorry, I forget the commenter or where that request was.) I'd like to update all the upload.ee links eventually anyway, so I decided to do that. But that also reminded me that I have this album I made a long time ago and never got around to posting. It's a collection of stray live tracks.

So, first off, note that, as of today, I did post updated links to nearly all the existing Small Faces albums on this blog. The only exceptions are the two BBC ones. I want to make some fixes and additions to that, enough to create a third volume, so expect those to be reposted soon.

There never has been a widely officially released Small Faces live album, and even bootlegs are few and far between. However, note that I did post a great concert from 1966, which I've called "Live 1966." Here's the link, in case you missed it:

https://albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-small-faces-twenty-club-mouscron.html 

Aside from that one recording, plus some BBC stuff, we just have dribs and drabs, sometimes with poor sound quality. So this gathers the best of the rest. Most of it is non-BBC, except for the first four tracks, which all come from a 1996 session in front of a cheering audience, and were released on "The Decca Years" compilation. I put that here instead of on one of the BBC albums I've made mostly because most of the songs are ones that repeated on other BBC sessions around that time.

The next song, which may or may not be called "Baby Please Don't Go," is from a video I found on YouTube. It shows the band performing in a small club in 1966, and apparently was taken from some unknown British news program that was showing what the rock scene was like at the time. There were two snippets of other songs, but I didn't include them because they were well under half a minute each. And this song is incomplete and fades out, but I thought it was good enough to include anyway.

The next three songs, tracks 6, 7, and 8, are from the German TV show "Beat Beat Beat." The next year, it was renamed "Beat Club." The band made more appearances on that show in 1967 and 1968, but all of them were lip-synced, so I didn't include them. This appearance, though, was fully live. 

The next two songs, tracks 9 and 10, are from an appearance on "The Morrcambe & Wise Show" in 1967. Like the "Beat Beat Beat" songs, they're still unreleased.

The remaining songs, tracks 11 through 15, are from a concert in Newcastle, Britain, in November 1968, a few months before the band broke up. They all were first released on the "In Memoriam" album in 1969, shortly after the band broke up. There were more songs recorded from that show, but they were lost. They also had fake audience noise slathered over them. Decades later, they were released on the "Here Comes the Nice" box set without the fake audience noise, which is where I got them. 

But I discovered the lead vocals were very low relative to the instruments. So I fixed that using MVSEP. I think they sound much better now. Also, there were some spoken words, which I have put on track 15. They were so very low in the mix they were almost unheard by me. First I boosted the volume greatly, again using MVSEP. But I still couldn't understand what was being said, so I ran the comments through Adobe's Enhanced Speech program as well. Now, I can at least catch the gist of the comments.

That leaves just the bonus track, "Long Black Veil." This comes from a bootleg of a concert in Vienna, Austria, in January 1969. This was one of the band's very last concerts, as they broke up by the end of that month. Unfortunately, the bootleg is only about 20 minutes long, and the sound quality is poor. So I only included one song as a bonus track, because the others were done live elsewhere. Yet this is a song that has no other recording, official or otherwise.

This album is 42 minutes long, not including the bonus track.
