Fear - 1985/12/21

Ok, hear is something a lot different for this blog. It's in no way psychedelic. Although, it is all the way a good fucking time. I've loved this band for years and years. Fear "The Record" is one of my all-time favorites. I've warn out many a copy of that one. What we have here is a great sounding FM recording live on KPFK in Los Angeles. This is the Anti-Christmas show. 35 years ago today, Fear was having no fear at all. Tearing it up, and blasting out 30 songs in under an hour. So, if the Christmas Holiday is getting you down, like it has to me, I suggest this. Turn it up loader than loud, play "Fuck Christmas", and jump around the room. If that doesn't put a smile on your face. Play it again.  Hope this helps everyone get through. Besides there is only four more days left. Merry, Merry.

Beck - Beck, Like Beer

Here's a very interesting demo tape from Beck. I've had this for several years now, and just recently came across it again. Beck, Like Beer came out in 1992. It wasn't released to the general public, but fortunately for us it made it out anyway. There are some real good songs on here. I really like "Puttin' It Down." As far as how it made it to us, Breathmint explains it all in the info, enclosed with the music. Thankfully, Breathmint is the one who made it available to us.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 2010-12-08

It's been along time since Godspeed You! Black Emperor played together in a live venue. They are back on tour and sounding as good as they ever have. From what I've been reading about the tour so far, they are playing strong and LOUD. So,if you are lucky enough to catch them, bring your earplugs. I hope to see them in March at The 40 Watt in Athens, GA. But until then, there is some great stuff being recorded from this current tour. This is one of them. Clawhammer did a great job with this audience recording. Live at The Barrowland in Glasgow, Scotland. You can feel the intensity in the music coming through this recording. Along with a couple of drunk fools between songs. Fortunately, they don't take away from it. This band brings back some great memories for me. I hope they do for you too.

Set List:

01. drone (intro)
02. Albanian
03. Gathering Storm
04. Moya
05. Chart#3 > World Police and Friendly Fire
06. Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls

The Byrds - 1970-01-04




Haven't put up any music by these guys yet, and I think it's about fine time.  I'm trying to put up music everyday till Christmas. So far so good. And it's been  a challenge not only to find the time, but also to share something worth while. I think this recording fits that bill. What we have here is a crystal clear soundboard recording, of both the early and late night concerts. Don't you wish bands still did this? How great would it be to go see your favorite band twice in one day. You could go sober for the first one, and then hit the bar, so you could tear it up on the late night show. That way you could at least remember one of the sets. Anyways, enjoy this beautiful recording of the first psychedelic country rockers, The Byrds. Recorded live at the Fillmore West in San Fransisco.

Set List:

early show:
You Ain't Going Nowhere
Feel A Whole Lot Better
Old Blue
You All Look Alike

Moby Grape - 1969-02-12





I've had a couple request for more Moby Grape. I have a few recordings by this great band, but not many that sound all that good. It's disappointing because they really had a lot to offer. Just listening to the bad recording you can tell they really put it all out there. But alas all is not murky, hissy, garbled and aged. I have one that does not tax your ears. Instead it lights them up with psychedelic love. There is a bit of weather, but only slight. It's a very satisfying soundboard. "And I'm So Grateful."

The Kinks live in Detroit, Michigan, at Cobo Arena on the 10th of August 1979. This soundboard is amazing A++. Crisp, crisp, crispy, crisp. Not to mention it's the tour for my favorite album by them. Low Budget. I absolutly love that album. This concert plays all the best cuts off the record. "A Gallon of Gas" being one of my favorites. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. Like six hours longer. Hey, I can dream. My work around is hitting repeat.

Arlo Guthrie - 1967-10-01


Arlo Guthrie performing live at The Bitter End Cafe, in  New York city. I love this recording. Arlo is a funny guy. Through out this show he shares his humorous wit. This is a nice simple mono soundboard. Just Arlo and his git fiddle, and it sounds amazing.  He plays a twenty-five minute version of "Alice's Restaurant," which he introduces as "Alice's Restaurant Part 2".  The song "The Pause Of Mister Claus" has some interesting lyrics. All in all it's a must have for Arlo Guthrie fans. And if you are not that familiar with his music, it's great way to get turned on to it.

Set List:

01. The Motorcycle Song>
02. Alice's Restaurant ("Part 2")>
03. The Pause Of Mister Claus>
04. Closing Remarks

Loading Zone - 1968-10-02


The Loading Zone peforming live at The Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA on February 2nd, 1968. This is the third night of a three night stretch. What we have here is  a nice crisp sounding board recording, of this psychedelic rhythm and blues band. Though they didn't make it big in record sales, they did play a strong role in the San Francisco psychedelic music scene. You will see their name on many a tripped out concert poster through out this time period. They've opened for The Grateful Dead, Quick Silver Messenger Service, The Jefferson Airplane and many other big bands. This band is tight and the singers have strong pipes. 

Set List: 

01   Got My Mojo Working
02   Summertime
03   Danger Heartbreaker Dead Ahead
04   No More Tears
05   Shop Around
06   Cold Sweat

LSD, A Documentary Report - 1966


Released by Capitol Records in 1966.  With the growing popularity of LSD at the time, Capitol felt the need to capitalize on LSD. This album is definitely tripped out. I mean Dick Clark is the narrator. That alone trips me out. The music and the sound effects are great. Listening to people trip out.  Dr. Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsburg also make an appearance on this album. I'm not sure if Capital is trying to scare you away from LSD, or drive you straight to it. Lord knows after I listened to album, I was ready to find a travel agent and drop a cap. And remember "Before you pass judgment. Please listen to it."  Then drop out.

Spacemen 3 - 1989-05-14 Stuttgart


Seethelight7 has shared with us this fabulous audience recording, of our psychedelic brothers The Spacemen 3. It's real tough to find quality sounding recordings of these guys. I really like how this one came out. There is a few brief volume drops, but nothing that hinders the listening experience. If you are a fan of Spiritualized, you should give this one a go. This is where it all started for J. Spaceman. It's the dirty, dirty, dark, dark, druggie, drug, drug, drug psychedelia. Did I mention druggie, drug, drug? So, paint your brain brown, and get way down. 

Set List:
01 rollercoaster  
02 things'll never be the same
03 take me to the other side
04 starship
05 revolution--->
     suicide
06 mary anne
07 encore break

The Rolling Stones - 1981-09-26 JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, Penn.


Ahhhhh, The Rolling Stones. You never know what your gonna get with these lads. And that's the best part of the experience. This is the second night of their 1981 tour. Knowing this will instantly tell you that some of the songs are extremely loose. But that is not a bad thing. It just makes it more interesting. For the ones that don't quite make it, there are many others that really hit the mark. And hell shouldn't we all be sloppy drunk when we embark on such a musical mission anyway? This is a soundboard recording, it's not in stereo, but mono. This should not deter you. The music sounds great. It's very well balanced. So, once again it's time to get saucy, and shake your tail feather.

Set List:

DISC 1:

01. Under My Thumb
02. When The Whip Comes Down
03. Let's Spend The Night Together
04. Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)

Reconstruction - Civic Auditorium; Santa Monica, CA 7/22/79


The Reconstruction was a band put together by John Kahn, featuring Jerry Garcia on guitar.  This soundboard is packed with jam funk instrumentals mostly. If you are expecting this to sound like the Grateful Dead, you would be seriously mistaken. This is more funk psychedelia. It does not disappoint. Unfortunately  this band only lasted for about 8 months, it did make some amazing music. This concert is definitely one of them.

Set List:
1. Welcome to the Basement ->
2. Bass solo ->
3. Welcome to the Basement ->
4. Fast Tone
5. Nessa ->
6. Bass solo  ->
7. Drum solo  ->
8. Nessa 
9. That's What Love Will Make You Do
