Thread for Bootleg Concerts- soundboard, VG audience only

[Skylarker]

I've been meaning to do this for awhile; make a thread to post really good quality shows. I don't take credit for recording any of these or being the first to post them; most of these I've had for ages and don't even remember where I got them. Smithstorrents, Akiraware, Drifter, this place, and various other sources for sure.

Needless to say, many thanks goes to the original tapers/uploaders and if I know who they are I will credit them.

As for any conversions from original FLAC sources to mp3, I know that pisses some people off. Oh well.

These are all mp3 and sound really good; not all are 320 but I'm not a bitrate lunatic...if something sounds good I'm happy with it and don't care about that shit.

Anyway this project will be ongoing and feel free to add to it...but I'd like to keep this relegated to soundboard or else very good quality audience tapes only.

I won't include tracklists just dates and locations; the setlists are easy enough to find online with that information.

So I'm gonna go chronologically through my hard drive; here goes.

Amsterdam 1984

 

[Skylarker]

Hammersmith Palais 1984

 

[Skylarker]

Old Grey Whistle Test 1984

 

[Skylarker]

Oxford Apollo 1985

 

[Skylarker]

Brixton 1986

 

[Skylarker]

Brixton 1986 (Big Al version)

 

[Skylarker]

Irvine Meadows 1986

 

[Skylarker]

Kilburn 1986 (alternate Rank recording w/different songs)

 

[Skylarker]

Kilburn 1986 FM broadcast

This is the same tracklist as the soundboard sourced boot above but the impedence is slightly softer (both sound excellent though) and the tracks are cut a little but differently too. So I'm not sure what that means, maybe MozRecording knows.

Belgium 1991 (FM master)

Thank you very much for sharing the Belgium show. This is the best 1991 show I have...it's wonderful!

Dallas 1991

This is only in 128. It sounds fine, but I draw the line at 128; if anyone has it in a higher bitrate, please post it.

Costa Mesa 1991

 

[Twisted_Child]

Great stuff. "Cosmic Dancer" seems to be missing from the Costa Mesa bootleg though?

The presence of all the cameras seemed to have an effect on the atmosphere in some portions of the audience, but overall, the crowd in Costa Mesa was almost as enthusiastic as in San Diego. Many fans managed to successly climb on stage to hug their idol and shake his hand.
After entering stage, Morrissey shouted "Hello! Halla!" and teased the cheering audience. In "Interesting Drug", he changed a line to "You wonder why I'm only half-ashamed". After "Sing Your Life", he asked "Should I say something? Or should I not say anything?". After "Trash" he said "Well you've been very kind... which is very unusual... so thank you". In "Suedehead", for the first time in a while, Morrissey sang "Oh so many blank pages" instead of "Oh so many illustration".

The main set was again completed with a rocking version of "That's Entertainment" with frantic ending. After that Morrissey supposedly took Boz's guitar and pretended to play, but this might have happened earlier in the set because after that song everyone left stage for a break. As an encore, Morrissey did his cover of T-Rex's "Cosmic Dancer", and followed it by "Disappointed" without giving the fans time to applaude in between.

The 18000 tickets for this concert were sold out in only one hour. Soundchecks of "Sing Your Life" and "There's A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends" filmed before this concert were shown on MTV a week later along with interviews of the band members.

This concert and the pre-concert activities outside were taped by Tim Broad to be shown on MTV, but at this point in time, only "Will Never Marry", "Sing Your Life" and "Mute Witness" were shown on ABC's "In Concert '91".




The live performance of "Cosmic Dancer" from this concert can be found on the "My Early Burglary Years" album, while "Trash" was released on the 2010 reissue of "Everyday Is Like Sunday".




The three songs shown on ABC's "In Concert '91" are commonly found on VHS and DVD bootlegs of various television appearances.

An excellent soundboard recording of the whole concert is circulated on a bootleg cd titled "My Chance To Shine". The source may be the Tim Broad recording mentioned above.

The whole concert is also available on a manufactured bootleg cd titled "There's A Place In L.A. For Me And My Friends". It was produced from the same recording and sounds just as good. The plus side is that the gig is paired here with a full aborted concert from 1 November 1991 and a selection of songs from 4 October 1991 (although credited as London 1992).

The audio for the three songs broadcast on television programme "In Concert '91" is available on the mixed-content bootleg "Angelic Upstart".

All the above is also available on the internet, along with a useless inferior sounding audience recording of the complete concert.
