Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

can't wait to hear this.

even if yr not downloading, it's worth a look just for the CBGB ad posted. Feelies, John Cale, Television, Talking Heads all in the span of a couple weeks. Twas a hot time on the Bowery.

another late 1976 Television show up now ...

"Feelies, John Cale, Television, Talking Heads all in the span of a couple weeks"

its disgusting! :)

in tiny print: "Ramones canceled."

and that must've been one of the Feelies first gigs, too. I think they formed in 1976.

Television were really channeling VU in that '75 version of Breaking in my heart.

Not that Kingdom Come is bad.

yeah, "Breakin In My Heart" is definitely their version of the "Sister Ray"/"Roadrunner" riff there. Love that recording so much ...

Weird to know that most of the best Verlaine's songs were already written before their 1st album.

right? the bulk of the second album was already written in 75 ... he had a pretty productive period. i like Verlaine live in the 80s, but mainly for the guitar playing/band interplay. He definitely didn't write that many classic songs after Television called it quits.

so we've finally made it to 1977 with this Television overview. I've posted one of the weirder shows I've got: Television opening for ... Peter Gabriel.

now up, Television plays Manchester, spring of 1977 ...

annnnd another Television set from 1977 -- a thoroughly enjoyable all requests show played deep in the heart of Westchester County.

so here's the last Television post for the time being -- sorry, got a little "carried away" haha. The band's final show at the Bottom Line in NYC, summer of 1978. Will probably come back to Television at some point, but for the time being this is probably plenty of versions of Marquee Moon. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

thanks, man! I have only begun to listen to these, but the Portland show is deeply great so I'm expecting awesomeness from the rest too!

since the blog is all about bootlegs, i decided to post a link to a bootleg of my own band's show last month ... don't judge too harshly! we were drunk.

new post in honor of new Dylan album up now -- Bob live in 2000. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

ok, more Dylan -- this time, outtakes from the New Morning sessions. Some really great stuff here.

Dance remixes, the blooze, Crazy Horse and more! It's Neil Young in the 1980s, up now!

ah sweet DLing the 80s stuff right now....although i would like to say that perhaps "hippie dream" off landing on water might have been a good pick...i sort of like that record

wow the massive breakdown on that ghost riders in the sky song is o_O!

i sort of like Landing On Water too, maybe I'm harsh on it. "hippie dream", "pressure" ... yeah, that "grey riders" song is nuts! that is sort of a great band there.

to celebrate two months of blogging, I posted ... more Neil Young. Part 2 of our exploration of the strange days known as the 1980s. Even better than the first installment!

<3 <3 <3

yeah I watched that SNL thing twice this afternoon after reading your blog blurb, fuck, that is an aggressive performance!

i like how none of them ever stand fully erect

yeah that is an intense caveman band

like Neil seems surprised by how the performance has worked out

goddamn best guitar tone ever

just goes to show that it is possible to sound incredible on SNL ... if you're Neil Young, that is.

Soft Boys live in New Jersey 1980 up now! This one is so good. Best band ever.

So, given the name of the blog, when are we going to see some Richard Thompson?

Soon! I've got a Fairport Convention show queued up, and probably some Richard & Linda stuff as well.

OK, that Fairport Convention show is up on the blog now! It is nuts.

Very good Wilco show from 2000 up now -- RIP Jay Bennett ... :(

thanks for bloggin dude

more Feelies up now -- this time a 1979 set at CBGB.

verrrry good pavement show from 1999 up now

aight, after a month off due to general busy-ness ... more Feelies. The first set from that 79 CBGBs show and a jam w/ Richard Lloyd. :D http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

shaking things up a bit, I've posted a couple of cool R. Crumb-hosted radio shows originally broadcast on the BBC. fun!

couple of new things up: Earth live in 2006 and "The Great Lost Velvet Underground Album."

Thanks so much for that VU one!

Doing some catching up, but that Pavement gig from the Terror Twilight tour is superb, and your critique of what happened to their sound on TT is spot on. Keep up the great work!

thanks dudes, glad you're enjoying it. The lost VU album is currently my favorite VU album! Which is saying something! Once again, good to be reminded how much those guys accomplished in such a short span of time. those were different times! And yeah, the Pavement show hopefully proves that they were actually a solid live band up til the end -- ramshackle, sure, but in a powerful way.

Q: Do you have any more Soft Boys/Hitchcock stuff to share? I'm on a serious kick right now...

was planning on putting up a RH & Egyptians show from 1992 soon, which I think is waaaaay better than the live disc that came with the Luminous Groove box set ... sometime this week probably. i actually don't have any other Soft Boys live shows -- would love to find more!

The boot you shared is the only one I've seen from the original run. I just this week filled some glaring holes in my collection - Live at Portland Arms, Two Halves, and The Day They Ate Brick.

Looking forward to the Egyptians set - the Luminous Groove one was kinda bad, at least compared to how I remember them live.

yeah, i know there are a few original Soft Boys live recordings out there, but I haven't tracked them down. Portland Arms is incredible, one of the funnier live albums ever. i agree, though, I was a little disappointed by the Luminous Groove live disc, even though there is good stuff on there. This one I've got is in an unplugged sorta setting, but the backing vocals/arrangements/setlist are perfect.

You folks should go see Richie Unterberger audio-visual, multi media presentation for his Velvet Underground book if he comes to your town (he was just in the UK, is now in Philly with NY shows next. I saw the dc appearance last night
