What Concert Did You Attend That Was Eventually An Official Release

Couple of Dead shows - that became Nightfall of Diamonds and Saint of Circumstance.

beyond that, it's not an official release, but I was at a show that's become one of the most famous Clash bootlegs:

 

The Rolling Stones at Death Valley in Clemson, SC - several tracks were released on “Flashpoint”.
Debbie Gibson at The Omni in Atlanta - a majority of the concert was released on the “Live Around The World” VHS.
Both occurred in November, 1989.

 

A friend of mine was at the show that became Hard Rain by Bob Dylan. You can actually see him in the audience on the back cover.

 

Phish: 5/3/93 State Theatre, New Brunswick NJ

Overkill - Wrecking Everything
Anthrax - Alive 2
King Diamond - Songs for the Dead

 

The Who at The Summit, Houston TX, Nov. 20, 1975. Decades later, I was happy to have it on an official DVD...and in much better audio quality than the terrible sounding cassette I recorded that night.

That's all I can remember right now.

 

I saw McCartney in Glasgow from which Mull Of Kintyre was used as a b side to All My Trials

 

Not an album release, but a DVD from Brazil, I think, of Keith Richards at the Orpheum Theater in Boston in 1993. I can't be certain its me, but there's a point in the show where I was seated is shown, and pretty sure you can see me in the crowd.

Also not absolutely certain, but pretty sure I was at the Alarm show in Boston that was released this last Record Store Day.

And not full shows, but some tracks from shows I was at made it to live album releases. 3 tracks on John Hiatt's At Budokan; Sliver, from Nirvana's Muddy Banks of the Wishkah(I was maybe the oldest person at this show, and I was only 33). Bootleg Replacements show at The Channel in Boston

 

New Order, 2002, London aka New Order 511

 

Paul McCartney at the Rosemont Horizon in Dec. 1989. Some of the songs made it onto Tripping the Live Fantastic.

It was recorded Nov. 7th, 2012 at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco.

 

My first concert ever was at one of the shows recorded for Neil Diamond's HOT AUGUST NIGHT.

 

Stevie Ray Vaughan at Carnegie Hall.

 

King Crimson Live in Toronto 2015.

 

I was there when "Mr. Sting" joined Frank Zappa in Chicago for the "Broadway the Hard Way" tour in '88. They did Murder by Numbers. that's the only song that made it on the album. Not sure if that counts.
I also was there when Jerry Goodman (from the Dixie Dregs and Mahavishnu Orchestra) recorded his live album at the Park West again, Chicago.

 

U2 Zoo Tv in Sydney.

 

28 September 1984 at Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta

[Amy Winehouse sang "Love Is A Losing Game" with Prince and the NPG to kick off the 22nd September aftershow!]

 

The Leonard Cohen "Live in Dublin" 3 disc album included a DVD of the concert with four bonus tracks. One of those tracks, "Different Sides", was recorded at the concert I attended in Saint John, New Brunswick at Harbour Station.

Which seemed odd for a "Live in Dublin" release, but I was happy it was included...

 

The Fugs-Refuse to be Burned Out. At the Bottom Line.
