The Teardrop Explodes 1982-01-30 Coliseum St Austell Complete audience recording, unknown taper, though I have my suspicions who may have done this. "tex punk" had uploaded "The Culture Bunker" back in 2013 https://youtu.be/XQKi5BP8NqM This is the complete recording. Original format of these files is 192kbps MP3, I've combined them and edited out gaps, and upped as WAV to prevent any more degradation.

Prior to this, the only tracks on YouTube from this performance were opener "Second Head": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrql8eYKDo4 ...and instrumental Straight Rains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNa2VNwfcmc The story about this track is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20151006203404/http://www.bombedoutpunk.com/history/mystery-solved-the-naming-of-teardrop-explodes-and-julian-cope-records/ As was Eric's standard, there was both a matinee and evening show. Posters show 15th September which was a Saturday, except for one which was mistakenly listed as the 13th. The files were labelled as 16th September, so am guessing this is likely to be the evening show, which matches with setlist.fm: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-teardrop-explodes/1979/erics-liverpool-england-6bf68e16.html Eric's Posters taken from the New Corn Poppy blogspot... https://thenewcornpoppy.blogspot.com/2015/06/1979-erics-mathew-street-liverpool.html

Superchunk 2004-07-29 Cat's Cradle Carrboro, NC Skip the following if you eschew "nerd stuff"... From the info file that came with the 192kbps MP3 fileset for the Superchunk set, concatenated in Adobe Audition (all lossless) with track gaps removed, and automatic phase correction applied, with normalization to bring the volume up a couple of dB over what the fileset had. This means that I'm using DaVinci Resolve 20 to do the media composting, to provide a few still visuals while this plays, which also can handle the upload to YouTube. Thus, this should be no worse-sounding than my original source....and is better for longer sets which otherwise need to be re-encoded at lower bitrates for TunestoTube to handle with its lame 100Mb limit...even if none of you can tell on here whether MPEG-4 High Efficiency AAC (48kbps) has been used, I still like the more conservative route of avoiding double-encoding whenever possible. --------------------------- MERGE RECORDS 15 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND - July-August 2004 Recorded by Brandon on a Sony TCD-D7 portable DAT recorder (in SP mode) with binaural cardoid microphones. TOTAL: 243 tracks, 16:13:15 I recorded complete sets by all listed artists. Lou Barlow and Arcade Fire played Wednesday the 28th, but I couldn't make it. --------------------------- THURSDAY, JULY 29, 2004 THE CAT'S CRADLE, CARRBORO, NC SUPERCHUNK 20 tracks, 75:29 Guest vocals by Ash Bowie and Lou Barlow. There was a whole lot of applause before they came back out for "What Do I". I cut most of it, since I was talking right over the mics during the break. This one sounds great in headphones.

Charm Fueled November 1994 Lava Lounge Chico, CA Patricia Rowland Howard of Vomit Launch and Empty Gate's mid-90s band, whom really to me sound a bit like 28th Day, Barbara Manning's old group before going into full-frenzy guitar freakout mode. There are four live videos total of CF, of which this is the second chronologically, the first three filmed at Lava Lounge and the last one at Blue Room, ranging from late 1994 to early 1995. Filmed by James Johnston. Master VHS transferred to DVD in 2007, and sent to me in 2013. You can see I was in a huge hurry to share these (/s), but not due to a lack of quality of what was on offer, at least in my humble opinion. This one doesn't say whom they played with. This is the show where Trish was holding a guitar but never actually appears to play it, also a stunt she pulled in her prior group, cue to the three minute thirty second mark to see that inaction here. It appears that the Lava Lounge room was pretty dark, so for me, it's more important as a means to preserve the audio, which luckily is clear as a bell, no processing or tinkering has been done at all for either. Visually, this one is the worst of the lot. Setlist, keeping in mind this is *all* unreleased material. The guitarist / occasional vocalist is Sean Gowan of The Vertels, but don't know much else about this project, or the names of the other players.

My Bloody Valentine 1992-02-03 Slim's San Francisco CA (full show) One of the tracks (Blown A Wish) was previously featured here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6GSr2juuLY Sourced from a 192kbps MP3, and different than the full versions you can download, which are linked above. Quite a good recording considering how difficult this group was to capture, due to excessive volume. I subsequently managed to find the whole thing though it was mislabeled as 08 Feb, but it's definitely NOT the Austin show due to the track sequencing. Most likely someone's 3 looked like an 8 and it got mis-transcribed along the line. At the start of "To Here Knows when", someone yells out "bummer", which you can hear at the 51s point of the alternative recording, which helps to positively ID this show. I'll also make this fileset downloadable, available here: https://tinyurl.com/2ujnvvn8 Setlist When You Sleep [1:24] Only Shallow [6:10] I Only Said [10:35] Slow [17:20] Nothing Much to Lose [21:05] You Never Should [25:12] Blown a Wish [29:17] (end of "What You Wish" segue) [33:00] Honey Power [33:48] Soon [37:23] To Here Knows When [46:25] Feed Me With Your Kiss [53:58] (fades out after a couple of minutes, the other recording has this complete) You Made Me Realise [55:55] (fades in, but fairly complete)
