What Concert Did You Attend That Was Eventually An Official Release

EELS - Tremendous Dynamite, live at First Ave, 2010/2011

And then I bought my copy at the merch table when they played First Ave AGAIN in 2013!

 

Billy Joel Live From Long Island. Third concert I ever attended when I was 18. I remember being annoyed by the bright lights that were on the entire concert because it was being filmed. But still great concert

 

Pearl Jam - A Drop In The Park (Seattle, 1992?). Released on LP as part of the Ten deluxe reissue.

 

The "breakfast show", Thanksgiving day matinee. Seats were upstairs, but we snuck into the orchestra.

 

Toots & The Maytals - Santa Monic Pier, August 7, 1997.

It was a part of the free summer concert series. Toots and the band played for over 2 hours with an intermission. Around an hour was released on DVD in 2001.



Toots is still one of the most energetic performers I have ever seen. He was in his 50's at that show and the crowd had trouble keeping up with him. I saw him again about 10 years ago and he still had the same energy.

 

Quite a lot as I worked underground & F.M. during RocknRoll radios golden era 1969-1979 with that said here are a few that really stood out...

1.James Brown / Say It Live & Loud Dallas 1968
2.Stones / Oakland 69
3.Grateful Dead / Fillmore East 2-70
4.Dylan & Band 74 Tour
5.Lynyrd Skynyrd / One More From The Road
6.NY&CH / Weld...sides 3 & 4 were recorded in Dallas
7.Band / Watkins Glen Festival (1973)
8.New York Dolls @ Gerties Bar '74 in Dallas, I believe the record has been released as official rather than the 1st bootleg issue
9.Stones / Ft.Worth Texas 72 was Ladies & Gentlemen movie
10.Nugent / Double Live Gonzo...Electric Ballroom on back cover & some of the tracks were recorded at the EB in Dallas Texas

 

Was also at The Clash Concert at the GlasgowApollo which was featured in the Rude Boy film

 

I attended both the Nanci Griffith shows at the Paramount here in Austin when they were being filmed for the official video release of Other Voices Other Rooms in 1993. Our view was blocked by a camera on the first night, so we were given free passes to see her band play at La Zona Rosa following the end of the tour (the night after the second performance). All three nights were fantastic!

The two nights at the Paramount ended up being released on VHS and LaserDisc.

 

I was Christine Lavin's show at the Cactus Cafe back in 1993 that was recorded for radio broadcast and later issued as an official CD. It was a great night!

 

Ramones It’s Alive. Recorded at The Rainbow Theatre London New Years Eve 1977.

Great Line Up The Rezillos, Generation X and then finally De Brudders! Awesome.

 

...Melbournes' brilliant but short lived Mackenzie Theory. One ' Live in the Studio' set titled " OUT OF THE BLUE" staked the claim to 'ahead of their time ' compositional and performance excellence, only let down, as a recording, by an indifferent studio audience.
Recorded at the beautiful and acoustically perfect DALLAS BROOKES HALL ( now destroyed) " BON VOYAGE" ( May 14th 1974) was a recording of the final concert by the band before tossing it in. Never receiving the blessing of Rob or Cleis, who felt it was sub-standard, it still sounds excellent. I was three rows from the front.
If you ever enjoyed Jean-Luc Ponty, and can imagine him ignoring the staff and going for the vision, this is one to look out for.
The full concert presumably languishes in the vaults of MUSHROOM RECORDS , along with their epic SUNBURY ROCK FESTIVAL performance.

 

Iron Maiden - Donington ‘92

Live at Donington (Iron Maiden album) - Wikipedia

 

......June 13 1971, Melbourne Town Hall. The city at this stage had a " don't blow smoke in the face of the nice Police Officer" policy re jazz cigarettes, so this was, as I recall, one very stoned evening. Bily Thorpe later found some recognition in the U.S. for his " CHILDREN OF THE SUN" album, but this is Billy on home turf inventing pub rock, but in a Town Hall.
Think of Neil Young back in the saddle with CRAZY HORSE, and that is what happened when Billy was at home with The Aztecs.
Rough as guts recording. Some very raw musicianship, but this is where Melbourne found its signature sound.

 

Bauhaus, Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool, 31st October 1981 - some of which ended up on ‘Press The Eject And Give Me The Tape’.

 

Black Sabbath- The End

 

Marillion - Recital of the Script DVD, Hammersmith Odeon 18th April 1983. They played everything they'd released up to that point including the whole of the Script for a Jester's Tear album and all single A and B sides - including Grendel!

Having lived that cassette/album as a 18yr old, I can only imagine that scene. I’m sure it was a Halloween to remember...and the people watching had to be fantastic!!!

 

Peter Gabriel Secret World Live

 

Spiritualized at the Royal Albert Hall, October 10 1997

 

I was at one of the 4 shows that were recorded for the Allman Brothers' "At Fillmore East" album. I attended the 8pm show on Saturday, March 13, 1971. I don't know which songs, if any, from that show made the final cut for the album. I do know that was I saw was great. I had hardly heard of the Allmans before that night. We went to see the headliners - Johnny Winter And.
