What Concert Did You Attend That Was Eventually An Official Release

Brian Wilson at the Roxy.

 

Rush - Time Machine in Cleveland. What a great show.

 

My first King Crimson concert. You can get it here and read a review:

King Crimson, 2nd of November 1995 at Music Hall

 

No full albums, but a few songs:

Phish - Bouncing Around the Room from A Live One (recorded 12/31/94 - Boston Garden, Boston, MA)
R.E.M. - Undertow from New Adventures in HiFi (Fleet Center, Boston MA 10/3/95)
Tori Amos - Somewhere Over the Rainbow Hey Jupiter EP (for some reason I believe it was recorded at the Wang Center in Boston on 5/21/96)

 

King Crimson - The Wiltern Los Angeles 1995 is a Collector's Club release. A good show.

Paul Westerberg - Whiskey A-Go-Go 1993 a couple songs appear on a UK CD Single of World Class Fad. Not so hot sounding, like a cassette recorded off the board.

 

Phish - Hampton Comes Alive (11/21/98 & 11/22/98)

Also, at least one of the tracks on Slaughter’s “Stick It Live” ep was recorded at their Nashville show opening for Kiss, which I attended.

Jeff Beck at BB King Blues Club, Sept 10, 2003. Best show I ever saw. I could read the set list off his notes by his feet, right in front of me. It took my friend a couple of days to decide it was only the second best show for him. He'd seen The Who at Leeds.

BTW I kept getting jostled by a cameraman. There were three. I've never seen a film. Has anyone?

I was at two concerts in the Bay Area that ended up on video releases

1. Fleetwood Mac at the Cow Palace, San Francisco in 1987. The concert ended up on a full concert release (Tango In The Night) on VHS back in the day.
2. Crosby Stills & Nash at the Bridge School Benefit at Shoreline Ampitheater, Mountain View, CA in 1990. A clip of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" was included in the CSN "Long Time Comin'' video. During Stills guitar solo, you can hear some high-pitched "whooooooooos" in the crowd. That's me : )

 

I was at the McCartney show in Charlotte that was broadcast on US network tv. A couple of songs were on Paul Is Live.

 

Metallica Seattle 1989 eventually released on Binge & Purge and later as part of the And Justice For All box set.
Nirvana Halloween 1991 eventually released as Live at the Paramount; also, there appears to be a blurry photo of me in the crowd in the In Utero inner sleeve.

 

Here are shows that I’ve been to that have been officially released in some form over the years:

Pretenders - 9/4/81 - Santa Monica Civic - (radio broadcast, eventually released on deluxe edition of Pretenders 2 cd.)

Ozzy Osbourne - 6/12/82 - Irvine Meadows (broadcast on cable and released on home video as "Speak Of The Devil" or other titles on vhs, laserdisc and dvd).

WASP - Spring 1983 - Not really a concert. Troubadour club film shoot (unpaid extra) for the (terrible) movie "Dungeonmaster."

US Festival - 5/28, 29, 30/1983 - all three days. I recorded most of the bands including Van Halen's entire set. The live clip linked below is the oft-bootlegged video with my own audio recording with an AIWA cassette recorder when I used to record shows that includes me and my friends drunkenly yammering at points through the song.



Judas Priest - 5/5/84 - Long Beach Arena (released on the deluxe edition of JPs "Defenders Of The Faith" cd.)

Iron Maiden - 3/5/85 - Long Beach Arena (one of the shows recorded for the Live After Death album and home video)

Sam Kinison - 5/2?/89 (Memorial Day weekend) - Las Vegas - (show released on home video)

Jane's Addiction - 12/19/90 - Hollywood Palladium (recorded and filmed, but only "Ain't No Right" released as promo video, entire audio released on "Cabinet Of Curiosities" box set)

Nice list. I envy you seeing the Stones at MSG in 1969 as I was too young. Which concert did you attend? Where were your seats?
