What Concert Did You Attend That Was Eventually An Official Release

October 1966: Standells opening for The Beach Boys, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
It took years, but both shows are available.

 

Anthony Braxton Quartet, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Santa Cruz CA 7.19.93
Quartet (Santa Cruz) 1993 - Wikipedia

I stayed for both sets. It was a great show!

 

Alice Cooper, Good to See You Again DVD concert release. Some of this was recorded at Dallas, Texas show I attended.

 

I was also going to say Zappa. Pittsburgh in 1988. Three songs from that show were released, one on each of the live albums he released from that tour.

On a side note, I turned 18 that year, and I registered to vote for the first time at that show.

 

Speaking of Phish's A Live One, I was at the 12.30.94 show for "Wilson" and the 12.31.94 show for "Bouncing Around the Room." As I did that entire run, I was also at 12.29.94 which was released as Live Phish 20. I was also at 11.20.98 which was released as Hampton Comes Alive.

Was also at seeing Robert Palmer date in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1988 when a video for "Early In The Morning" was filmed. Show stopped for a brief break of makeup/wardrobe before song played. I don't recall the live in concert footage making the actual clip, which was [I believe] primarily rehearsal/local travelogue footage.

Bruce birthday show at Met Life 9/22/12

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - September 22, 2012 MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ

 

I wish they made this a ‘stand alone’ release instead of a bonus disc in an expensive box set. I wonder if any other Isle of Wight 69 performances will be released as well

 

IIRC, I bought it on iTunes when it was officially released. Wasn't too expensive (definitely cheaper than the physical box) or I wouldn't have sprung for it!

 

I was extremely fortunate to attend the George Harrison tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall on November 29, 2002 - The Concert for George. This event was recorded and later released on CD, DVD, Blu-Ray and Vinyl. Every time I watch/listen to it, I find it hard to believe I was actually there.

Everyone who attended received a really cool concert program, and I was able to grab (as a souvenir) some of the coloured tissue-paper confetti discs that dropped from the ceiling of the Royal Albert Hall during Joe Brown's poignant closing performance of "I'll See You in My Dreams".

What an unbelievable concert.

 

I was at one of the shows they used for Neil Young and Crazy Horse's "Year of the Horse". The one where Neil said, "they all sound the same! it's all one song!" (Hartford)

 

Free Live
I was at the Sunderland Locarno show Jan 1970. I’m in the audience audio. I believe (need to Wiki this) that the recording equipment failed on some songs - either here or at Croydon - the other venue used - so they overdubbed Sunderland audience.

I was also def on the Lindisfarne Live from Newcastle City Hall on one their first or second Christmas shows. I don’t talk about that one as much..I def dine out on the Free one!

I’m in a Jesse Malin DVD from The Cluny in Newcastle. Seated in audience when he sang Helpless accapello while wandering around the audience.

Oh..also on the Dylan Tracks from Real Live that were recorded at St James Park 1984

 

The Hold Steady's Metro Chicago show that yielded "A Positive Rage." It was a Halloween show, with Art Brut supporting. A hell of a lot of fun.

 

I was at this show:

 

I've attended many dead shows that have been released.

I'll add simon and garfunkel in central park and the highwaymen at the Nassau Coliseum.

 

On the deluxe version of David Bowie's Aladdin Sane there is a live cut at the end of the second, bonus disc. It was recorded in Cleveland on November 25, 1972. My seat was in the second row of the balcony at the rear of Cleveland Public Auditorium. It was the first year of tenth grade for me and the guy who drove downtown, Larry, was in eleventh grade.

We managed to sneak in with a half of jar of whiskey (Old Grandad) that I stole from my Dad. I clearly remember hearing this song as it stood out from the Ziggy stuff that we were all ramming home eight times a day.

I was at the Paul McCartney in San Antonio, TX that produced the "My Love" track on Paul Is Live.

 

Forgot about this one. I was there for Life During Wartime and (on CD) Crosseyed and Painless.

 

Laurie Anderson - Live at Town Hall New York City September 19-20, 2001

 

Not sure if this counts, but I attended the taping of a John Fogerty performance for television a number of years back. That was interesting, with all the interruptions and breaks, partial songs before/after commercials, with the cornball smiling host appearing in different parts of the theater for visual variety, asking John a bunch of idiotic questions. Showbiz.

 

It's hard to know what's considered an official release when it comes to the Grateful Dead, but I was at a Chula Vista show in the '80s that supposedly became one of their most sought after tapes.
