Your favourite bootleg -as in 'Unofficial Live Recording-

today? betty davis at le castellet '76

ysi?

Can Wahldbuehne 22 5 72

Einsturzende neubauten Frankfurt 93

Lifetime Village Gate 69 when they were a 3 piece and could play around each other more than as a 4 piece.

Birthday party Minneapolis 83 in both audio and now video.

Gun Club Lyceum December 83 cos it was the first time i saw them. May not be their best gig but it was one i was after for years and finally got hold of. & I think it is quite good listening.

Whipping Boy Pod 96 great gig captured live during the Heartworm era though still maintaining some of the improvisation of the earlier more shoegazey sound. Unfortunately I will probably never hear it again. The master was lost falling out of a pocket as I left an old shared house.

Allan Holdsworth, Jack Bruce, Didier Lockwood, David Sancious, Billy Cobham - Gathering Of Minds / Montreaux 23/07/83

ecstatic fusion-tastic

i prefer the lifetime newcastle show from 1970 nov 6. it's the four piece and a ropey sounding audience tape, but boy it's an interesting set. want to hear lifetime playing meeting of the spirits, noonward transformation, and the dance of maya? i got a thing for crappy audience tapes. my go-to can tapes are giessen 1971 oct 22 and birmingham 1974 feb 10 (they get ignored after damo left but i've never heard them with more _groove_ than they have here).

i don't miss the days of spending ten years trying to finagle my way into getting any "bootleg" that isn't by pink floyd or led zeppelin.

can i just put the betty davis link right here? i don't know what the rules are for absurdly rare bootleg live recordings.
