BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
Care to share your favorite live bootlegs? Some best recordings of otherwise too clean sounding bands are out there somewhere on tapes and blogs. Genre doesn't matter. I love lo-fi live recordings with nothing edited out or "fixed." Don't care if it's unofficial or official record (like VENOMs OFFICIAL BOOTLEG) or if it has been released physically anywhere. Here's some favorites of mine:

This clip of Black Flag playing 'Damaged 1' in Philidelphia, 1982. Heavy, man.

Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
So many great Dead Kennedys gigs, one of the most documented punk bands of the era.
A recent favourite is one of their last shows. Someone keeps throwing beer cans at the band and eventually Jello dives off of stage to rough the guy up and extract him from the venue. D.H. Peligro somehow manages to instantly get out from behind the drum kit and dive into the crowd to back Jello up.
The Clash - 1980-03-08 - Capitol Theater, Passaic NJ, USA
Very much looking forward to Philip Best's book on the subject, whatever form it may take.

Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
The video that got me into Godflesh. Still their best stuff imo (delay on the vocals really ramp up the bad vibes.)
My good friend and I actually bootleged this on Cassette about ten years ago when we were living together in Alberta.
Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
I go through semi-regular periods where I listen to little else besides VU boots. The ones you mentioned are great (especially love "I'm Not A Young Man Anymore" off Gymnasium, the only recording of it that exists). Other faves include Sweet Sister Ray, Live '68/Problems In Urban Living, Black Banana/'66, Warlocks/Falling Spikes Nov '66, Hill Top Festival. Lots of good ones on this list too: https://www.discogs.com/lists/Boots-on- ... -VU/341085D345 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 1:33 am

Not a bootleg per se, but this version is incredible.

Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
since there seems to be love for Lou Reed:
https://youtu.be/7dQ3P8knPDw
“At one of our last shows, we were performing Lou’s heartbreakingly personal song “Junior Dad.” We had turned it into a spoken word piece and Lou recited the lyrics while we played an atmospheric drone underneath.
It was a beautiful night in Dresden, Germany. A few blocks away, a big fireworks show began right in the middle of the song. I was worried that it would distract Lou and annoy him. Instead, while gesturing towards them, Lou improvised a poem about the fireworks:
State of grace, Stars that never last forever, Stars that burn out, and disappear, The cheapest imitation of God, The cheapest imitation of God, A make believe sun, State of grace.
Then he returned to “Junior Dad” as the audience cheered and the band built up and rocked out with Lou ’til the end of the song. It was just amazing. We all looked at each other, knowing this was truly special. Many of the band and crew had“.
btw nowadays Metal Machine Music sounds like birds singing. Nothing wrong with that.

Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
On the roughly half a million Sisters of Mercy bootlegs in existence, this one is usually considered the best one among fans:
https://youtu.be/TMhFtq3iYC8
The band’s last full-lenght came out in 1990, and there haven’t been any new studio recordings of any kind since 1993, and yet they’ve never stopped touring and writing new songs. Some of their best songs haven’t had an official release at all, and are only available as bootlegs. Which is probably for the best since it’s by now a couple of decades too late, at least, for a fourth album.

Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
And yeah, Peel Sessions aren’t technically bootlegs, but.
https://youtu.be/hJJM1Tm030Y
One of my favorites.
If you are, let’s say over 35, it’s almost certain your favorite band has done one too.

Re: BEST LIVE BOOTLEGS
I really like the Germs Cat's Clause release, especially the very shambolic pseudo-cover of PIL's "Public Image".
I like the saturated, slightly queasy coloration the recording adds to the super-loose, jangly guitar lines immensely.

Prime Nico, right near the end. The live a cappella versions she does of All Tomorrows Parties are always perfect.
