Love that Elvis Costello show, thanks for posting.

The Patti Smith Group at The Konserthuset (Stockholm Sweden, October 3, 1976)

quote:

---

Rising from the New York punk movement of the 70’s, Patti Smith is an influential singer and musician known for combining spoken word poetry with primal garage rock. By 1976, she had released her debut Horses and the more raw-sounding Radio Ethiopia.

Her October 3rd, 1976 concert at The Konserthuset in Stockholm, Sweden was filmed and recorded for broadcast, documenting this early stage in her career. Prior to the internet, the audio portion had been circulated among fans with the bootleg title, ‘I Never Talked To Bob Dylan,’ a slight reference to the short interview that accompanied the performance.

Smith’s influence by The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed is well represented with the covers ‘Real Good Time Together’ and ‘Pale Blue Eyes’. Actually, there are quite a few cover songs here including the classics 'Louie Louie,' 'Gloria,' and the Smith original 'Land' which includes yet another rock classic, 'Land Of 1,000 Dances.' Patti's version of The Rolling Stone's 'Time Is On My Side' is prefaced by her own spoken-word piece.

‘Ask The Angels’ and ‘Land’ stand out as highlights of this show

The guitarist with glasses is Lenny Kaye, who started out as a rock critic, coining the term "punk rock" and compiling the epochal anthology Nuggets.

The Tubes - Full Concert - 12/31/75

Personnel:
Fee Waybill - vocals
Bill "Sputnik" Spooner - guitar, vocals
Roger Steen - guitar
Prairie Prince - drums
Michael Cotten - synthesizer
Vince Welnick - piano
Rick Anderson - bass

Summary:
The Tubes are a Bay-Area band best known for their skewering of popular culture issues of drugs, celebrity, and their namesake: Television. At this Bill Graham-produced show, the Tubes had sold out the Winterland for the first time. The band's stage antics are as lively as ever, owing to the festive spirit of New Year's Eve. Less than 25 minutes into the set they count down to 1976, with lead singer Fee Waybill endlessly insisting that there is another minute-and-a-half to go and feigning a broken watch.

From their debut record, the Tubes play "Up From The Deep," Space Baby "Malaguena Salerosa," "Mondo Bondage," "Haloes," and the aforementioned "What Do You Want From Life" and "White Punks On Dope." But they had been busy putting material together for six years at this point, and had already prepared a good portion of material that would end up on their second record. From that album, Young and Rich, they play "Tubes World Tour," "Slipped My Disco," "Stand Up And Shout," and "Proud To Be An American.

There is a load of vulgarity and fun throughout this show. And the long and irreverent program comes to a tee when Waybill puts on his "Quay Lewd" alter-ego and introduces his band as the Cocaine Piranhas.

The Long Ryders at The Mean Fiddler (London, April 18, 1985)




One of the greatest Cowpunk bands, The Long Ryders were among several notable acts to emerge from L.A.'s Paisley Underground scene of the 1980s. Led by Kentuckian Sid Griffin (now based in the UK and leading a bluegrass band called The Coal Porters), they blended rockabilly and honky-tonk country with garage rock.

I couldn't find a set list online, but included in the show are Ryders classics like "Run Dusty Run", "Ivory Tower" and the if-yer-heart-ain't-in-Dixie-git-yer-arse-out anthem "State Of My Union". There are also some great covers of the Flamin' Groovies' "I Can't Hide", Bob Dylan's "Highway 61", Bo Diddley's "You Can't Judge A Book By The Cover", and the Mel Tills/Waylon Jennings/Flying Burrito Bros country standard "Mental Revenge", as well as a few surprises.

Oddly they don't do their best-known song, "Looking For Lewis and Clark", which actually made the pop top 20 in England and even got some airplay on college radio Stateside.

Sam Cooke live at the Harlem Square Club, Miami (January 12, 1963)

quote:

---

Not only is this one of the greatest live soul albums ever released, it also reveals a rougher, rawer, and more immediate side to Sam Cooke that his singles only hinted at, good as they were. Working with a merged band that included guitarist Cliff White and drummer Albert "June" Gardner from Cooke's regular touring outfit and saxophonist King Curtis and his band, Cooke brings a gospel fervor to these whirlwind versions, which are fiery, emotionally direct, and hit with uncommon power. Every track burns with an insistent, urgent feel, and although Cooke practically defines melisma on his single releases, here he reaches past that into deeper territory that finds him almost literally shoving and pushing each song forward with shouts, asides, and spoken interactions with the audience, which becomes as much a part of this set as any bandmember. "Chain Gang" is stripped down to a raw nerve, "Twistin' the Night Away" explodes out of the gate like a runaway rocket, and Curtis' sax breaks on "Somebody Have Mercy" make it sound like the saxophone was invented for this one song alone. Throughout Cooke's voice is a raspy laser that makes it obvious what Rod Stewart picked up from this recording, and it is impossible not to hear Cooke's voice looming behind Stewart's once you've heard this amazing live set.

Although recorded January 12, 1963, at the Harlem Square Club in Miami in 1963, RCA didn't release it as an album until 1985. The set was remixed from the original first generation three-track tape for 2000's The Man Who Invented Soul box, and while the music (and Cooke's vocals in particular) sounded much cleaner, much of the crowd noise from the 1985 mixes was toned down, robbing the recording of some of its claustrophobic, frenzied power. The mix used here seems to more or less split the difference, but the crucial key is and was always Cooke's vocals, and while he was a marvelously smooth, versatile, and urbane singer on his official pop recordings, here he explodes into one of the finest sets of raw secular gospel ever captured on tape. It is essential listening in any version. -- Steve Leggett, AllMusic
