Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

Yes, I started a blog: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

It is going to mainly focus on fuzzy live recordings from the past 50 or so years. So far, I've posted an incredible Television show from 1978, and a similarly incredible Neil Young show from 1974. So, yeah, that kind of thing. Future posts will include: Pavement, Richard Thompson, Don Cherry, Hank Williams, Sr., the Velvet Underground ... and more Neil Young and Television. Expect good times and tape hiss. And long-winded reminiscences in the comments section from my older brother.

Looks great! Thanx!

New post up now -- Yo La Tengo KCRW radio session from 1995. A good one!

bookmarked!

Another post -- an early Luna show + Peel Session.

Good blog, this.

Thanks! Hope it is not terribly annoying to keep a rolling thread going here on ILM ... I'm basically doing it for my real life brothers, friends and y'allz.

Great stuff tyler, keeping my fingers crossed for Feelies material ;)

Feelies are up next! Just having trouble deciding, early, middle or late period ...

ok, posted a 1986 Feelies show! Grab it, it's amazing.

great blog! I listened to the Television show and it's great; I already knew the "Marquee Moon" (totally epic version, maybe definitive?) from this set but the rest is great too.

Yeah, I think in terms of live "Marquee Moon"s it's between that one and the one from "The Blow Up" ... Just awe-inspiring music.

I think I downloaded the Neil Young one a coupla times but the extraction fucked up both times :(

Will try again later

ooh, yeah, thanks for reminding me -- i need to re-up that one ... I think it's in m4a format, so maybe it doesn't work on PCs? The other ones are straight up mp3s.

fully agree with you about the feelies. great blog! thanks

OK, there's a new link for the Neil Young show up -- let me know if you have trouble with that one ...

THANKS A LOT!

no prob! hope it works for you, that recording is pretty much my favorite thing ever.

Thank you! Great blog!

...and more Feelies!!!

Yes, more Feelies shall be forthcoming ... probably an early show.

Keeping things rolling ... some George Harrison All Things Must Pass-era demos ...

More Neil Young up now, this time the original Chrome Dreams ...

Bob Dylan Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid outtakes up now! :D

holy crap, this feelies show is awesome

i mean i knew they were good live, but this just slays. only life era is my favorite though. the television is great too.

glad you like it! those feelies bootlegs occasionally take the coveted "my favorite thing ever" title. i reeeeealllly want to be in a band that sounds like that. but i can't find other people who want to be in a band like that. anyone? lots more television coming up -- i think i'm going to do a series of posts through the years, starting with the richard hell days.

aight, Television week has begun! Some rehearsals from 1974. Rough stuff, but worth it!

More Television -- the legendary Eno demos!

tyler:

this neil boot is obv awesome.

but what the hell is up with the audience..they are like cutting up during "long may you run" like it's some kinda fuckin' joke...wanna travel back in time and strangle these smug hippies.

yeah, and they all laugh at the ambulance blues "you're all just pissin in the wind" line. Funny, "Long May You Run" sort of *seems* like a joke song, but I actually think it's one of Neil's most touching songs. The Beach Boys line (which yeah, the audience on that boot totally guffaws at) always gets me, as a former SoCal guy.

yeah i think long may you run is totally touching.

but i guess the beach boys line would hit ppl different then, pre all the "OMG smile is a lost classic brian is a genius" stuff...i guess they were just nerd band then probably.

yeah, i'm sure a beach boys reference in 1974 would have people thinking lol corny beach boys ... though I'm sure Neil was always pretty into them -- "Let's Go Away For Awhile" is on that Journey Through the Past sdtk from around the same time.

he was also bros with dennis wilson back in the manson days i think. some sweet times, i'm sure.

I don't see how "Long May You Run" could be heard as a joke song, but the Bottom Line version is so...downbeat and intense, I don't see how they bust out. At first I thought it was because of something else that was happening, like someone falling over in the audience, but no, they laugh at particular lines of the song. The reaction to "the last time I saw you alive" is especially weird.

well, there's something funny about the concept of singing a downbeat, intense love song to your car, but Neil ends up selling it more convincingly than some of his actual love songs.

hah! I've never listened closely enough to the words to pick up that it's sung to his car (despite listening to the song for 20 years now). Even in the original version he emotes so well that yeah, it comes across as serious rather than jokey.

yeah, it's def. about his car! kinda wry, but overall, I think it's in earnest! Dude loves his cars.

yeah I get it now, the "chrome heart" business, long may you run rather than malfunction. I could see laughing now except for the way Neil pulls it off on the boot, so slow.

plenty more Neil on the way, once I get through with this epic television overview I've got planned. might go deep into the 80s with neil next time. was just listening to a great int'l harvesters set.

hey tyler since u seem to be a neil bootleg ninja...

is there a different version of "ordinary people" floating around, without the bad 80s production that's on the "chrome dreams II" version?

there's a live version with the Bluenotes, but it sounds essentially the same -- almost like they recorded it on the same day! i made a neil young in the 80s bootleg mix a while back with that, the 20-minute crime in the city, interstate and a bunch of other interesting stuff. maybe i'll post that as the next neil installment.

wow, that would be great! I've never heard the 20 min "Crime In The City".

What about the Eldorado EP? I guess that's not technically a bootleg but I've never heard it...the ones floating around the net seem to just be the versions off Freedom plus "Cocaine Eyes" and "Heavy Love", but I gather there's a different version of "Don't Cry" that's like a minute longer (all feedback). I'd love to hear it sometime.

i might be wrong but i think the songs from the el dorado EP that also show up on Freedom are the same versions? Maybe they're different mixes. the long "Crime in the City" is definitely worth hearing! A lot of verses!

ok, even more Television has been posted. We're not even past 1975! This show is a great one though. Maybe the best pre-Marquee Moon show ...

wow that television show! thank u so much

wow dude I'm still catching up. This Feelies show!! Slipping Into Mayhem! I've only heard the mislabeled 86 show at the Rat w/r/t live Feelies, which is terrific but this... scorching stuff.

"Dude loves his cars"

And his dogs.
A friend of mine had a 1976 bootleg from Osaka, I think - I remember it being totally killer, do you maybe have something like that too? :)

yeah the osaka 1976 show was one of the first neil bootlegs i ever heard, i think -- a friend bought it on tape at some random pasadena record store. it's incredible -- that whole 1976 Japanese tour is one of the best Neil Young/Crazy Horse period. There'll definitely be some of that on the blog soon.

there's a live version with the Bluenotes, but it sounds essentially the same -- almost like they recorded it on the same day! i made a neil young in the 80s bootleg mix a while back with that, the 20-minute crime in the city, interstate and a bunch of other interesting stuff. maybe i'll post that as the next neil installment.

man i keep wishing that some awesome version done by him and crazy horse around ragged glory or something like that will surface

would love to hear that 80s stuff though.

listening to the george harrison now, really nice!

this blog rules.

thx dude, glad you're liking it. i'm having a good time digging through all this stuff.

Thanks, Tyler!

Adding in again. Some mighty fine stuff here.

aw, thanks. more Television demos up now. The "Little Johnny Jewel" sessions. This Television thing is becoming kind of epic. I just have a lot of it.

lovin this feelies

sooooo good

it's so fast!

for such a mild-mannered looking band, they're actually kind of ferocious. i mean, i hear about how intense and nuts bands like sonic youth and husker du and big black were in the 80s, but these recordings of the feelies are just as intense, if not moreso.

my foot tapping is driving my roommate crazy i think

crazy

rhythm

yet more Television -- a tasty set from early 1976.

a double shot of Television at the end of 1976 is up now. This is one of the must-haves.

yuk!!!

can't wait to hear this.

even if yr not downloading, it's worth a look just for the CBGB ad posted. Feelies, John Cale, Television, Talking Heads all in the span of a couple weeks. Twas a hot time on the Bowery.

another late 1976 Television show up now ...

"Feelies, John Cale, Television, Talking Heads all in the span of a couple weeks"

its disgusting! :)

in tiny print: "Ramones canceled."

and that must've been one of the Feelies first gigs, too. I think they formed in 1976.

Television were really channeling VU in that '75 version of Breaking in my heart.

Not that Kingdom Come is bad.

yeah, "Breakin In My Heart" is definitely their version of the "Sister Ray"/"Roadrunner" riff there. Love that recording so much ...

Weird to know that most of the best Verlaine's songs were already written before their 1st album.

right? the bulk of the second album was already written in 75 ... he had a pretty productive period. i like Verlaine live in the 80s, but mainly for the guitar playing/band interplay. He definitely didn't write that many classic songs after Television called it quits.

so we've finally made it to 1977 with this Television overview. I've posted one of the weirder shows I've got: Television opening for ... Peter Gabriel.

now up, Television plays Manchester, spring of 1977 ...

annnnd another Television set from 1977 -- a thoroughly enjoyable all requests show played deep in the heart of Westchester County.

so here's the last Television post for the time being -- sorry, got a little "carried away" haha. The band's final show at the Bottom Line in NYC, summer of 1978. Will probably come back to Television at some point, but for the time being this is probably plenty of versions of Marquee Moon. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

thanks, man! I have only begun to listen to these, but the Portland show is deeply great so I'm expecting awesomeness from the rest too!

since the blog is all about bootlegs, i decided to post a link to a bootleg of my own band's show last month ... don't judge too harshly! we were drunk.

new post in honor of new Dylan album up now -- Bob live in 2000. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

ok, more Dylan -- this time, outtakes from the New Morning sessions. Some really great stuff here.

Dance remixes, the blooze, Crazy Horse and more! It's Neil Young in the 1980s, up now!

ah sweet DLing the 80s stuff right now....although i would like to say that perhaps "hippie dream" off landing on water might have been a good pick...i sort of like that record

wow the massive breakdown on that ghost riders in the sky song is o_O!

i sort of like Landing On Water too, maybe I'm harsh on it. "hippie dream", "pressure" ... yeah, that "grey riders" song is nuts! that is sort of a great band there.

to celebrate two months of blogging, I posted ... more Neil Young. Part 2 of our exploration of the strange days known as the 1980s. Even better than the first installment!

<3 <3 <3

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7luq7_neil-young-rockin-in-the-free-world_music

yeah I watched that SNL thing twice this afternoon after reading your blog blurb, fuck, that is an aggressive performance!

i like how none of them ever stand fully erect

yeah that is an intense caveman band

like Neil seems surprised by how the performance has worked out

goddamn best guitar tone ever

just goes to show that it is possible to sound incredible on SNL ... if you're Neil Young, that is.

Soft Boys live in New Jersey 1980 up now! This one is so good. Best band ever.

So, given the name of the blog, when are we going to see some Richard Thompson?

Soon! I've got a Fairport Convention show queued up, and probably some Richard & Linda stuff as well.

OK, that Fairport Convention show is up on the blog now! It is nuts.

Very good Wilco show from 2000 up now -- RIP Jay Bennett ... :(

thanks for bloggin dude

more Feelies up now -- this time a 1979 set at CBGB.
http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

verrrry good pavement show from 1999 up now

aight, after a month off due to general busy-ness ... more Feelies. The first set from that 79 CBGBs show and a jam w/ Richard Lloyd. :D http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

shaking things up a bit, I've posted a couple of cool R. Crumb-hosted radio shows originally broadcast on the BBC. fun!

couple of new things up: Earth live in 2006 and "The Great Lost Velvet Underground Album."

Thanks so much for that VU one!

Doing some catching up, but that Pavement gig from the Terror Twilight tour is superb, and your critique of what happened to their sound on TT is spot on. Keep up the great work!

thanks dudes, glad you're enjoying it. The lost VU album is currently my favorite VU album! Which is saying something! Once again, good to be reminded how much those guys accomplished in such a short span of time. those were different times! And yeah, the Pavement show hopefully proves that they were actually a solid live band up til the end -- ramshackle, sure, but in a powerful way.

Q: Do you have any more Soft Boys/Hitchcock stuff to share? I'm on a serious kick right now...

was planning on putting up a RH & Egyptians show from 1992 soon, which I think is waaaaay better than the live disc that came with the Luminous Groove box set ... sometime this week probably. i actually don't have any other Soft Boys live shows -- would love to find more!

The boot you shared is the only one I've seen from the original run. I just this week filled some glaring holes in my collection - Live at Portland Arms, Two Halves, and The Day They Ate Brick.

Looking forward to the Egyptians set - the Luminous Groove one was kinda bad, at least compared to how I remember them live.

yeah, i know there are a few original Soft Boys live recordings out there, but I haven't tracked them down. Portland Arms is incredible, one of the funnier live albums ever. i agree, though, I was a little disappointed by the Luminous Groove live disc, even though there is good stuff on there. This one I've got is in an unplugged sorta setting, but the backing vocals/arrangements/setlist are perfect.

You folks should go see Richie Unterberger audio-visual, multi media presentation for his Velvet Underground book if he comes to your town (he was just in the UK, is now in Philly with NY shows next. I saw the dc appearance last night

what is he showing/playing? i need to get that book, it actually looks great.

great blog, thank you!

x-post. Richie is showing unleased photos, video clip focussing on dancers and light show from way back, clip from 72 of Lou, Cale and Nico in Europe; audio from an acetate; pre-Velvets stuff...

too much VU is never enough! thnx tylerw!!!

yeah, there'll be plenty more VU forthcoming.

more good stuff! a Tom Verlaine show from 1987 is up now. if you haven't heard Verlaine live in the 80s, you haven't heard Verlaine! guitar ecstasy.

now up! covers of syd barrett, nikki sudden, arthur lee, buck owens and grant mclennan by ... me. be nice!

Listening now - these are good! I like your voice. "Terrapin" might be a little too faithful, but I don't know how one could arrange it differently and make it work.

thanks! "Terrapin" (and Syd Barrett) is hard to do justice to. So much of it depends on his weird timing ...

just put up an excellent Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians live show from 1992.

Thanks so much! Robyn always equals win in my book.

More more more. Yo La Tengo in London, circa xmas 1999. Also a re-up of the previous YLT radio show I posted a couple months ago ...

is this the show with the peel intro, and trouble with ira's guitar? i was at this show, and have cherishbed a boot of it for years... 'night falls on hoboken' is so wonderful here.

yeah, i believe so -- Ira sorta struggles throughout the night, but there's still some great stuff. the date I have written down is Dec. 4 1999. John Cale cover here is worth the download!

Huh, I'm interested to hear this. I saw YLT around that time, the tour with Susie Ibarra where she played gong on "Night Falls On Hoboken". They opened with it that night too, and it was pretty stunning: maybe 40 minutes? Longer? I loved it but then I was already blissed out from Lambchop's opening set, still the best set I've ever seen by any band. But YLT was fun too, despite Ira only letting one solo rip all night (on "Cherry Chapstick"). It wasn't what I'd hoped to see, but I've loved "Night Falls On Hoboken" since. It's a perfect late (American) summer song, for the end of the day when the heat dissipates and the crickets start chirping.

yeah, seeing that song live really made it the standout from that album for me, and i usually prefer ira in full-on gonzo mode.

wow, 40 minutes? crazy. would've loved to see that, esp. w/ Susie Ibarra. Was that the tour where David Kilgour and Mac from Superchunk were playing with them as well? this version of "Night Falls" isn't 40 minutes, I don't even think it's quite as long as the album version. But it is lovely. Even though it's maybe a strange thing to open a show with, I'm not sure where else you could play it in a set.

It looks like that was March 4, 2000, so a little after the 1999 show you posted. I don't really know how long it was, but it was very very long and great. They could end the main set with that song, but maybe it would kill momentum. As it was, it was captivating. I don't think that was the Mac/Kilgour tour; I saw that one too, but I think it was a few years later.

the few times i saw them play this, they opened with it, and it was a perfect opener...

do any of y'allz have favorite YLT bootlegs/live recordings? The QEH and KCRW things are by far teh best ones I have, though the nyctaper.com hannukah things are good. I've got a few that are really BAD. Not that the performance itself is bad, but something about the sound on a lot of them just doesn't translate. Vocals too loud, or not loud enough, or the guitars don't sound powerful or something ... It's funny -- I love seeing them live, but can't find that perfect bootleg.

There's a "Balck Sessions" french radio session from 1997 that is pretty great. I also have a boot from Pustervik’s Bar, Göteborg, Sweden (11/15/97) that has a pretty good mix.

I know what you mean about the balance seems off on most YLT bootlegs. That's why I only have a few.

For some reason, I have a boot (11/15/07, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) from that "Freewhelin' Yo La Tengo" tour a few years back. Sound is fine, but the show is kinda blah. My understanding is that most people felt theat whole tour was kind of blah.

heyo, because it's been almost three months since I've posted any Neil Young (crazy, I know), I've put up another installment of my Neil Young Bad News series of rarities/live/etc. This time around -- the 90s! omg. the promo single of ARC is included, don't worry!

Hey Tyler do you happen to know of any live Verlaine recordings from the shows he did in 2006?

hey! yeah, there are definitely some live recordings from that tour. I think I have one from NYC? band was the same from the 80s except for Jay Dee Daugherty I think?

Yeah I saw him two nights at Bowery Ballroom-- it was so goddamn incandescent. The drummer was the only new face-- young dude named Lou somebody, a hard hitter but he had swing.

I thought the album from that year was an excellent display of songwriting, but once I'd heard the new songs live I couldn't enjoy the album versions anymore. I keep hoping I'll come across a good live recording from that tour.

i think that might be the show i have -- i'll get it up on the site soon. amazingly, i still have never seen Verlaine live. Another great boot I have is at the Bowery in 1998 or so -- mostly instrumental stuff w/ Jimmy Ripp and a guest spot from Patti Smith. Gorgeous stuff.

Was that him and Ripp doing their live movie accompaniment thing maybe? I never caught that.

yeah, i think so? i know they do that, but I'm not sure if there were actually movies played at this show. Anyway, there's this 15-minute long version of "Spiritual" from Warm & Cool that is sooooo beautiful ...

That sounds amazing. The rapport between those two is interesting to hear & watch, so different to the Lloyd/Verlaine dynamic.

Congratulations, Tyler.

"Bring me little water, sylvie" playing right now.

Congrats to you and yours Tyler. Beautiful girl!

thanks dudes! overwhelmed, underprepared, but mostly very, very happy! my wife and I hadn't heard the song "Sylvie" before, but we were searching around to see what cultural connections the name had, and discovered it. amazing song!

Congratulations, Tyler! It'll be brutal, but hopefully not too brutal. Rock out to "New Mama". For some crazy reason, with kid #1 in the very early days we listened to Magical Mystery Tour a lot.

congrats tyler! if you father as well as you blog your little one is in good hands! : )

yeah more congrats from over here, love the picture on the blog.

Congratulations! That's wonderful! Hurrah for lucky Sylvie, tylerw, and mom!

thanks again for all the congrats, ILM-ers. And we're back, sorta! Sylvie is resting peacefully and I've posted a very very cool Big Star Sister Lovers-era radio show. It's loose!

annnnd now a recording of the Go-Betweens' last show of the 1980s! it's a good one.

new post: Bob Dylan & the Hawks, late 1965, recorded by Allen Ginsberg (?)!

Hey, amazing work on the blog. I'm a big fan.

I was wondering if you'd be able to re-up some stuff when you get chance? All the Television links are down :(

yeah at some point I'll reup some stuff -- is there a better service than sendspace where files last longer? that's the only one i've used.

Drop.io keeps files up for one year after their last download. No ads, either.

hmm i'll check that out ... it's free?

yeah

cool -- well, if anyone's reading, feel free to make re-up requests here or in the comments ... Dunno when I'll get around to it, but I'll take note!

Chrome Dreams too please!

oh man, Chrome Dreams is incredible!

Might have missed it -- will the comprehensive Feelies covers thing be posted on the blog?

It will -- still in the process of putting it together. Should be a doozy.

Too kind and thanks!

speaking of that Feelies covers comp ... I'm only missing one song! "King's Lead Hat," an Eno cover they did a couple times back in the early 80s. Anyone got it? I'll ask on the Feelies threads too. Looks like the covers comp will be two volumes, with some Yung Wu stuff thrown in as well.

That'll be hard to track down (well it's already proven it is..).

In this pretty exhaustive Feelies bootleg database (I'm sure you know the site), I find only two mentions of it being performed/recorded:

1) Gig on March 1, 1983: Peanut Gallery, Haledon, NJ (44 min.)
2) King's Lead Hat (Brian Eno) from May 29 1983, unknown venue

yeah that site is where I've drawn from mainly. Maybe I'll just email the dude who runs it ...

Send this guy an e-mail, who knows...
http://mytradinglist.blog.ca/2005/08/17/audio_list/

xpost

Cool, yeah, I'll shoot him an email. This is IMPORTANT!!!

there was some guy on DIME who uploaded approximately 200 Feelies shows as well...

as far as upload services I use and endorse Mediafire.

tyler, at the risk of going overbored thanking you for your blog work- that last neil post - bad news in the 90's is COMPLETELY sublime, dude. thanks.

thanks, man, glad you like it. there is a lot of really great stuff on that comp -- "Interstate," "Separate Ways," "Ambulance Blues" w/ REM ... So good.

amazingly, i've just been sent an mp3 of the feelies playing "King's Lead Hat" -- by Stanley Demeski's wife! The internet is crazy. So the Feelies covers comp should be finished soon!

that's fantastic!

:-D Wow that's nuts. Can't wait!

tyler u are a gem of the internet!

lol, finally someone recognizes this

Matt H and Tyler W in The Fan

Celtic Pride II: Electric Dylan Bootlegaloo

tyler u are a gem of the internet!

Thanks, dudes. Everything I do, I do it for you.

hey could i get the feelies version of that^^^? no?

You will, sir, you will.

you haven't lived til you've heard the Feelies doing "Cuts Like A Knife"

WHOS THE GERM OF THE INTERNETS, NOW?????

okaaaay, finally finished the long-awaited Feelies cover comp! enjoy! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

Haha I was going to be looking for this today myself. Wonderful stuff.

Thanks! There are a handful of not-so-hot recordings included for historical purposes, but on the whole it's very listenable ...

sweet getting now, thank u sir.

Putting this together made me realize that the Feelies really were one of the more intense live bands of the 80s! I've heard bootlegs of the Replacements, Black Flag, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, etc., and none of them match the more hardcore stuff here. And that's when they're covering Beatles songs!

(tyler does your ILX webmail work? i have something u might be interested in)

yeah it works!

sent u an ilx mail lemme know if it works

oh heyo, one track added that I forgot "Powderfinger" by Yung Wu. U can dl at same mediafire link ...

dude thanks for all this. and sylvie is adorable!

no prob, glad you're liking it. and the sylvie-related action has been moved to another blog: http://voicisylvie.blogspot.com she didn't like being mixed in there with all the bootlegs.

oh by the way, did the feelies comp come out with the right song order when y'all imported it into your itunes? someone told me it came out random, but it worked for me ...

Came out random for me as well -- not really minding but anyway.

huh! thought I had tagged the mp3s w/ a tracklisting, but maybe I don't know what I'm doing. ah well -- it doesn't matter too much, I suppose ...

doesn't matter at all. thanks again!

More of those R. Crumb radio shows posted now! Totally fun stuff.

yeah it doesn't matter, i love it anyway

this blog roolz

also lol at yr girl in a hueg onesie

now up! Flaming Lips - Zaireeka, the single disc mixdown version. No substitute for the real thing, but you can listen to this one on headphones, which is nice.

new Television post! A 1992 show featuring vastly improved versions of the songs from that reunion LP they put out. Seriously great.

more Richard Lloyd guitar madness up now, with an insanely good WFMU session by Rocket from the Tombs .... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

Just kicked off Jazz Week w/ a Coltrane/Dolphy show from 1961 ... Alice Coltrane up next!

Man, sendspace sucks lately. I've been trying to download that Television set for about a week now and keep getting told that the "Free service is over capacity". Hopefully I'll be able to get at these soon enough.

tylerw, which Alice?

Sorry about the sendspace woes, Jon -- I had planned on switching over to Mediafire but was having uploading issues ... Maybe I'll try again.
The Alice show is 1972 Carnegie Hall, w/ Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp ...

!!!

I finally got it to work, I think you just have to keep at it. Not bitching, I love the blog - keep it up! I'd just been very anxious all week to hear that set.

OK, the Alice Coltrane is up! Jon, you're going to like that Television set -- it is pretty different from Television in the 70s, but still very very very good.

Woah, thanks!

Unreleased Mingus broadcasts from 1962 up now ...

heyo, more jazz week -- wynton kelly trio w/ wes montgomery up now ...

Miles Davis Quintet, Berlin 1967 up now! So good.

listening to the coltrane in copenhagen with dolphy, lovely stuff, pretty good sound quality too!

how long are the download links good for?

yeah, i love that Coltrane show -- not as off-the-hook as, say, the Village Vanguard recordings, but really nice.
Download links seem to be around for about 2-3 months? Not sure how Sendspace works. Thinking about switching up, but haven't gotten around to it.

yeah so far it seems more breezy and laid back almost trad than the village vanguard stuff, i'm not that far in

Sendspace used to delete files 30 days after no downloads. So theoretically, stuff could last forever if downloaded periodically.

xpost You can't help but wonder what the audiences who went to see these shows were expecting -- I'm not sure what records were out in Denmark. Were they expecting "Blue Train"? I know Coltrane was booed by some crowds on his last Euro tour with Miles Davis ...

good to know about Sendspace ... maybe I can just dl stuff myself from time to time to keep the links active ...

yea i tried to hit up one of the old neil young stuff and it said the file was no longer available. listening to the REAL COOL TIME stuff now. is nice

yeah feel free to request any re-ups. might not happen immediately, but I'll get around to it. Might just do a big week of re-ups.

Can you re-up the Wilco show soon? I thought i'd downloaded it but can't find it now.

sure thing! just don't tell all the wilco-haterz on ilm ;)

Boo! More Neil, less Wilco!

haha. up next: WILCO WEEK

crossing my fingers for some super charged nels cline going off live show shit.

i should actually put up a great Nels Cline trio show I have from the 90s ...

not to make this "request line" or anything but do you have any geraldine fibbers 90s gigs with nels in the lineup?

oh feel free to make it a request line. I don't have any Fibbers bootlegs. Weirdly, I never saw the Nels Cline version of that band, even though I lived in LA at the time and they were always playing. They might not've played all ages shows all that much. I did see the original Fibbers lineup a couple of times, and then saw the Cline/Bozulich duo thing a few times as well. Cool band, though I just checked and I don't seem to have their albums anymore ...

Just finished up Jazz Week with a Herbie Hancock/Headhunters show from 1973 ...

tom waits 1975 show up now ... and scroll down for that neil young ditch trilogy post, if you didn't see it on the other thread ...

Started up a little "lost albums" series over the weekend. Up now, SMILE! (And a repost of the Great Lost VU Album).

Oh dang I need to get you that Verlaine ish.

yeah, that'd be awesome if you can swing it, Jon

*writes note on hand*

*furiously*

that Manchester show is seriously some godheadlike NY. cheers!!

yeah it's definitely in the top 10 Neil bootlegs of all time! OF ALL TIME! interesting that he never got that whole band back together ever again, I don't think? Obviously he played with them all again quite a bit over the years ... Maybe it's time! Amazingly, they're all still alive!

I sent you a message, tylerw. :D

yesss! Thanks, Jon! u da man.

aight, the original Blood on the Tracks is up now ... one of the best things ever.

more lost albums! The Go-Betweens' Freakchild -- or my approximation, thereof ...

neil's chrome dreams (a different version than posted a few months back) up now. Worth a look just for the artwork which has to be one of the great bootleg covers of all time.

OK, the Tom Verlaine lost album Jon hooked me up with is up now - totally good! Maybe better than Flashlight? Maybe?

Hey, Tyler, you have a handy tracklisting for that Waits show?

here ya go --
Introduction / Diamonds On My Windshield / On A Foggy Night / Eggs And Sausage / Ice Cream Man / San Diego Serenade / Big Joe And Phantom 309 / New Coat Of Paint / Spare-Parts / Ol' 55 / The Ghost of Saturday Night / The Heart of Saturday Night / Nobody

Thanks, mister!

rolling stones kinda lost album Necrophilia up now ... actually a really good listen!

yeah, it's great. showcases their psuedo-brill building/pop side in a way that they were probably trying to downplay in the early 70s.

yeah, it is not very low-down, badass stuff. But still good! Love "Sleepy City" and "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind" which Vashti Bunyan recorded when she was a Marianne Faithfull wannabe.

Richard & Linda Thompson's original Shoot Out The Lights up now ...

Dylan's original Infidels up now

Oh, remember the days when it used to be so much work to track down stuff this awesome? Sniff. Makes me wistful.

ah yes, the days when a two-disc bootleg would cost somewhere around $60 ...
one last lost album up now -- Brian Wilson's Adult Child! Scary!

finishing out 2009 with the year's four greatest psych jamz! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

pre-VU recordings by Lou Reed/John Cale up now. Do the Ostrich!

man tyler you are spoiling us!

more spoils! pavement live in 1997 ...

a guest contribution -- the audio from a whole bunch of Elvis Costello TV performances through the years ... http://ow.ly/X0ky

Eno - Fripp LIVE in Paris up now!

Talking Heads 1979 Fear of Music tour up now!

shit, i see i have some catching up to do

hey willem, you're partly responsible for this eno kick I'm on currently ....

just chiming in w/a big T H A N K Y O U ! great blog.

yr welcome!

which eno kick? did you upload anything enoesque. i am reading geeta dayal's book on another green world right now, i didn't know about the anecdote about the origin of the title. it is kind of intriguing especially in view of the current state of planet earth.

i didn't read the thread properly, sorry. i don't think i have ever consciously listened to that paris concert.

it's good!

something a little different: some friends and I have started putting together a handful of "best of the 2000s" single artist mixes. Up so far: Dylan, Robyn Hitchcock, Elvis Costello, Yo La Tengo, David Byrne, Go-Betweens. Several more in the works! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

hey tyler

your dylan post of the alt infidels inspired me to go out and pick that album up on used vinyl...

it's pretty good but DAAAAAMN...this version is clearly better in every respect...obv he left off what might be the two best songs on the album (though jokerman and i and i are amazing).... but yeah this one feels so much better sequenced.

glad you dig it, matt -- yeah, i really prefer it to the released version. but it is a great "only Dylan would do that" moment -- leaving off "Blind Willie McTell"! but i love infidels. such a weird sound, dire straits meets sly & robbie ... he should make another record with those guys.

yeah it's got a cool sound...and it's weird because it sounds EXACTLY like what you'd expect a reggae rhythm section would sound like with a real button-downed FM rock band around them...the bass line on jokerman is awesome

yeah, if you hear the 1984 tour recordings, the songs really suffer for not having that sly/robbie lope ... he just hired a pretty boring rhythm section for that tour ... if only he'd played with that band from the Letterman appearance!

Friend of mine put together an audio mix of Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers tv appearances! Very very good! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

been trying to keep up with everything i want from your blog, but just now listening to the alt. Infidels trax. "Sweetheart Like you" is such a frickin' beautiful song, i'm about to weep openly...

yeah, i love that song ... i kinda think of it as Dylan doing Knopfler and blowing him away.
more jonathan richman up now -- very early modern lovers demo/live recordings ...

i actually don't like blind willie mctell (the song) very much. strikes me as bombastic. doesn't have the virtues i most treasure in dylan. sort of his version of "elephant art"--a big, self-consciously important statement without irony or playfulness. i prefer his modest stuff like nashville skyline, new morning....

that j. richman comp is great, thanks tyler. you have a fantastic blog.

though blind willie is probably better than anything on infidels. but even if the alternative album is better than the released one, this strikes me as one of dylan's lowest periods.

hey when it comes to Dylan, I've learned to each his/her own ...

hey when it comes to Dylan, I've learned to each his/her own ...

i think Abraham Lincoln said that

iirc Lincoln was a big Street Legal fan ...

since it's been so long ... more Feelies! A live version of Crazy Rhythms w/ the original band pieced together from various 1979-80 shows ....

tyler, is it cool if I ask you to re-up (or just to send me privately) these Feelies boots you're posting? I don't have the time + disk space right now for them, but I will in 9 months or so.

yeah, just let me know when you want 'em! is that what you meant?

Yeah, that's all I mean. O/w I'd hoard them now but time+space are at a premium for the time being.

there is nothing more important for your hard drive space than hissy audience tapes of the feelies imo

haha well I already have a few from your blog from before! the Eno demos set and a live set from 79. I don't really know the band after the first album but I'll remedy that soon. And then it'll be boot time.

and good grief my brother tried to give me like 30 gigs of Dead bootlegs recently. I'll never have the time...

Thanks for more Feelies! I probably have several of the performances, but a good comp is always nice.

Yeah, several of the songs are from that 1979 show I posted a few months back -- the others are from 1980 shows at CBGB and the Whiskey A Go Go in LA ...

backing up a bit - thanks for the pre-vu thing! some pimple-faced dreck for sure, but also some gold... "why don't you smile now" is especially great. I've known the Delmonas cover for years, never knew it was a Reed song.

and can't wait to get home and hear the richman stuff - thanks a million!

yeah, "why don't you smile now" is a great tune - i've hoped that someday a VU version of that song will surface. Probably not, but who knows! The Pickwick saga is pretty interesting -- according to the Unterberger book, there are demos of "Heroin" and some Cale stuff in the vaults.

Downliners Sect did a great version too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uyepraHu6U

Spiritualized do a decent cover of it, too.

Love Pre-VU. "Why Don't You Smile" is a stone classic - who knew it was written by Reed? That alone must have funded some serious binges. I've just added "Tiger in My Tank" to the non-Beach Boys Beach Boys songs thread. And is "It's Hard For a Girl in a World Full of Men" a pisstake on Peggy Seeger's engineer song? Who knew it had been popular enough to require one?

In all the overviews of this material people hold up "The Ostrich" as an example of Reed's hackwork - "Oh, he was writing this Dance Craze stuff" - but it's a truly freaky track, with hints of the drone/noise side of the VU. Very cutting-edge in comparison to Paul Simon's (truly dreadful) hackwork of roughly the same era.

Wicked comp, Tyler. Thanks again.

on a blog called perhaps "ice clothes" there are like 300 CDs of the same type of material as the pre-vu stuff. it's insane.

and yeah some of that early lou reed stuff is interesting. no way was he a credible brill building-type songwriter though.

it's a truly freaky track, with hints of the drone/noise side of the VU
Yeah, I think so too -- like the Sonics but even more unhinged, and that bizarre ostrich guitar sound. and Reed's vocal definitely predicts "White Light/White Heat" ...

modern lovers stuff is great. never liked that "fly into the mystery song" much before - the early version is nice.

whole comp is pretty stellar imo ... made me think that Jonathan Richman is in need of a career-spanning box set or something ...

Hm. Not all that stuff might be Reed-related. Can anyone cast any light on the accuracy of this Allmusic entry for the Pickwick album from which a lot of this was taken?
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jnfoxqu0ld6e

what a weird review. the album cover is definitely wrong, and what's up with that tracklisting? Anyway, I think there is a bit of confusion as to what Pickwick stuff Reed actually had a hand in (other than the stuff where he's obviously present). A lot of the songs have like four or five writers ...

Jonathan Richman is in need of a career-spanning box set or something ...

yes but too many parties involved, small labels who haven't even bothered to keep his albums in print mixed with big labels (warner etc.) that aren't likely to cooperate on such a thing.

tyler what is your interest in a boatload of GNR rarities/demos/unreleased/guest appearances/etc?

hmm, i don't know, i don't have any GnR rarities ... are they good? I'm looking to friends to put together more comp type things for the blog ... you want to give me the cream of the crop?

A definitive Richman box would be so tough to pull off not just for the logistical reasons - but also because he's just so prolific. Even just for the first album-era songs there are at least 3-4 completely different studio versions floating around + live stuff. It is pretty cool to be able to see all the fine-tuning and revising he does to his songs, especially as keeping things direct, unmediated and spontaneous-sounding seems to be his goal.

I wonder if making and remaking and remaking that one record may have been part of what turned him away from the initial Modern Lovers sound. But then again I think that recording multiple versions of his songs might just be his M.O., as the "Lost Album" on Doom & Gllom shows - or even his revisting of "Old World" on his last record.

tyler i will go through it...my friend bought it at this mom and pop record story in south dakota, it's called "Attitude For Destruction" and its one of those old early 90s type bootleg double CDS that were made to look like legit releases

haha actually i'm looking now and it's on Deadline "A Division of Cleopatra Records" so who knows what it's like

there appears to be a fair amount of Hollywood Rose stuff (axl's pre-GNR band)....

also some apparent "gems" like "Kevin Dubrow, Tracii Guns & Gilby Clarke - Welcome to the Jungle"

if Kevin Dubrow is involved, I'm there!

and re: a Richman box, I think it could be done, aside from label issues
one disc of original modern lovers stuff
one disc of late 70s/early 80s
one disc covering the rest of the career
one disc of live material?
i mean, you'd have to leave plenty out, but as far as an overview, i think it'd work ...

But you'd never please everybody - you got yer Hippy Ernie and the Hippie Johnny factions, yer I'm A Little Airplane guys and yer I'm A Little Dinosaur people. Could get ugly.

yr a god!

btw gerald the last post on doom & gloom was a Robyn Hitchcock comp of odds n sods (mainly TV appearances) my friend put together. nothing terribly rare, but nice nonetheless!

http://lagrimapsicodelica.blogspot.com/2010/01/jonathan-richman-and-modern-lovers.html

eeyowch ... (actually pretty amazing how many of those I own).
has anyone tracked this down? http://jojofiles.blogspot.com/2007/10/great-71-recordings-found.html
I don't do dime a dozen but I guess it was uploaded there ...

yeah, i grabbed that.

is it good? can you hook me up?
just put up a nice guided by voices radio session comp btw.
http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

been listening to that GoB's set you posted awhile back recently. s'nice!!!

Tyler - apparently GBV's "Bug House" is a sampler of a larger set called "Broadcaster House". Do you have a lead on that? I'd love to hear it all.

i don't have the whole thing. this is where I got it from way back when I think: http://www.gbvdb.com/bughouse.asp
but yeah, this single disc makes me want the whole thing ...

that whole gbv database is crazy by the way.
i get to re-live my first GBV live experience: http://www.gbvdb.com/album.asp?albumid=1133

Oh yeah, I've long loved that site. An absolutely essential bookmark for Pollard fans.

in honor of Doom & Gloom's one year anniversary -- a Neil Young covers comp! actually inspired by the ILM thread ... some fun stuff.

is it good? can you hook me up?
just put up a nice guided by voices radio session comp btw.

i can burn you a dvd-r with some rare richman stuff (would take too long to upload)--give me your email address and i'll contact you?

The Neil covers are awesome. I just made a comp of dylan covers/ripoffs kinda in the same vein as your neil one - lots of soul/r&b, garage rock and french pop versions.

yeah it was fun to hear all the interpretations! would love to hear the dylan comp ... you wanna be a doom&gloom contributor?

would be honoured! let me send you a cd-r and you can decide if you think it's worth it

following up the neil young covers ... we've got a comp of Dylan live in 2002 covering Zevon, the Stones, the Beatles, Van Morrison, and ... Don Henley.

tyler, have you checked out the ice clothes blog? some great homemade comps there.

yeah, i just discovered that blog! the VU in the Cale Era thing looks pretty amazing.

yeah, don't sleep on the bacharach/david/warwick thing too.

heyo, Brio's excellent Bob Dylan covers/pastiches comp is up now!

heyyy, it's been awhile, but I've got a great Robyn Hitchcock solo show from the mid-90s up now. lotsa stuff planned, when I get the time.

also, if you haven't checked out Brio's Dis Nous Dylan mix, do it! I think it's what I've been listening to the most in the past month or so. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/445730279/dis-nous-dylan-for-this-lovely-saturday-morning

Glad you like it - very cool to have it up on Doom & Gloom.

hey tyler I knew the real McCabe, here in Eugene! he just died a few months back. I thought about starting an RIP thread but didn't. a co-worker of mine was kind of responsible for his living space, he's married to the guy's granddaughter.

huh, no kidding! i seriously loved that place as a kid. I wished I could live there. Seems like they still are bringing in pretty cool acts: http://www.mccabes.com/condata.html
Kinky Friedman, Mia Doi Todd, Gary Lucas ...

i'm hoping my friends from back then digitize some of the other shows. we have some more hitchcock, jonathan richman, frank black ... I think Martin Carthy ...

I have a Liz Phair show somewhere on cassette... also Fahey from the 70's.

nice! would love to hear that Fahey show ... i've got a weird 80s McCabe's show with Steve Wynn, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and various other college rockers. Actually not all that good, but interesting.

i've got some 70s fahey too. one where he plays a very long version of "fare forward voyagers."

hey tyler, you gonna share those modern lovers boots i sent you? do it--they should be heard. will need to transcode them to mp3 i suppose.

Yes! Those Modern Lovers boots (along with some other stuff you sent me) are in the queue. They're great -- especially that Stonehenge one ...

Dis-Nous Dylan is awesome! A nice slice of how far his influence spread in pop at the time. Love that Beau Brummels track. And I think the Faces cut is my favourite Rod Stewart moment ever (which admittedly ain't saying much). Also some super-funky cuts... well done, Brio.

nice! would love to hear that Fahey show ... i've got a weird 80s McCabe's show with Steve Wynn, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and various other college rockers. Actually not all that good, but interesting.

is that the one with Leaving On A Jet Plane? Haven't heard that in years, although I have fond memories of it. Do some of the REM reissue bonus tracks come from that show?

yeah, i think it's got Leaving On A Jet Plane on it. Haven't listened in ages ... don't know if any of them were officially released? Maybe?

Just put up another McCabe's Robyn Hitchcock show ... quality not quite as good as Ned's tape from last week, but still great! special show for me, since this was the first time I saw the guy play.

Very nice blog. Kudos big time!

another stroll down memory lane, this time a John Cale show, deep in the heart of Orange County ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

just put up one last 1994 show that I attended -- Pavement at the Palace!

up now, a Dylan show from 1995, including Patti Smith's opening set. Really, really good.

zappa/mothers of invention rarities grab-bag up now!

Thanks for the heads-up(s)!

I still need to check out that Zappa...

hey tyler if you ever read Ulysses: Stuart Gilbert's chapter-by-chapter guide is apparently somewhat controversial but I found it very helpful.

thanks for the recommendation--I plan on getting to it someday. I've read everything else, except for Finnegan's Wake. The sort of thing I regret not taking a full class on in college.

tyler man u are killing it!

the only reason i don't go to your blog sometimes is cuz i get overwhelmed! too much good shit...

grabbing the patti/dylan gonna get the zappa

that eliza randazzo is intriguiging!

hey have you heard the Catherine Howe reissue on Numero Group?? just got that and it is a gorgeous record.

thx dude!
Yeah, a friend burned that Catherine Howe record for me a while back, but I haven't given it a lot of time. I should dig it out again. randazzo record is very nice -- occasionally verges on a little too pretty sounding, but her voice/lyrics kinda cut through.
should be finally posting the early modern lovers shows amateurist was so kind to send me a while back later this week.

btw sorry i never sent u that first jayhawks record, moved this summer and am still digging out from the mess....now it's been reissued anyway!

yeah, i saw that -- figured it was the same thing you had been talking about. i've thrown the door open to contributors so if anyone has anything bootleggy they desperately want to share with the world, let me know.

yep its the same one, honestly it's a really good record IMO you should check it out

woah it occurs to me that i must've seen bob like honestly a few days either before or after this patti/bob show!

because i lived above some hippies and they were full-on mourning jerry garcia and bob did alabama getaway and dedicated it to jerry

weirdly, the jayhawks opened, bringing this all full circle

nice! i saw dylan in the spring of 1995 and I think it was the best bob show i've witnessed. i mention it in the post, but the acoustic sets are pretty astonishing. patti set is really good too.

yeah, I d/l'ed the 95 show from you, tyler, & it's great---fierce guitar playing throughout

re-uploaded that Television 1992 disc by request from nerve pylon ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/243843224/no-glamour-after-a-14-year-hiatus-television
it's a killer, if you didn't get it the first time.

finally posted that Modern Lover 1971 recording amateurist sent my way. all thanks to him! it is great.

following up the modern lovers show, i've upped my comp of the best of (imo) those VU professor tapes that were unearthed earlier this year.

heyyy, started posting a series of 1976 Neil Young/Crazy Horse shows. If you like Neil, you want these.

cool; pulled this one down

tyler, do you have any recommendations for International Harvesters boots?

yeahhhh, the austin city limits show is prob your best bet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB5bGDPJakE&feature=related

yeah it looks great, as I read around about that show; can't find it right now unfortunately but I'll keep looking.

lemme know if it doesn't show up on the interwebs, i can up it for you at some point.

more neil young/crazy horse japanese 1976 tour up now

ok the "Cowgirl In The Sand" on the Budokan set is hilarious---sounds spraying all over the place. But it mostly works!

ok I'm pretty blah on "Southern Man" usually but this one, on the Budokan set, is far out...totally jagged

haha, yeah, crazy horse really bludgeons that one, in the best way possible. it's always exciting -- are they actually gonna pull off that tempo change!? barely!

hey euler, if you're still looking for int'l harvesters, this show is great, too. http://infinitefool.blogspot.com/2010/08/this-is-pretty-widely-distributed-but.html

huh cool---pulling it down

"down by the river" is pretty nuts on that iirc. neil does this long, intro monologue.

DANG tyler, your blog is always full of treasures, but that Budokan set is something else...

oh nice, glad you're liking it. i really do think neil's guitar playing in this period is incredible. just like everything i want in a guitarist.

yet another neil/crazy horse 1976 show up now (i'm really going to run this into the ground). next up, the dreaded stills/young band. a nice contrast to the previous shows.

ok, the stills-young show is up. worth a listen, even though some of it is kinda bad.

aight, finally done with this Neil Young 1976 overview. Bernstein Tapes and a Chicago show are up now!

i've mainly just been linking to other stuff in the past few weeks, but I've got one of my own things up now -- an hour's worth of the Floyd jamming on "Interstellar Overdrive." Why? Because i love you. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

awesome! i LOVED those Bernstein tapes, btw.

yeah, those are great -- the Bottom Line 1974 solo show and the bernstein tapes are the essential neil solo acoustic bootlegs.

mentioned it over on the Stephen Malkmus solo albums poll, but I uploaded a couple SM radio sessions over the weekend ...

more 90s indie rock -- the guided by voices 1996 bootleg Jellyfish Reflector up now ...

hey man there's a present at Shards Of Beauty blog for you :)

oh nice! thanks, man!

jellyfish reflector is glorious... i still have the vinyl somewhere (and of course the cd)...

yeah, i still have the vinyl, along with crying your knife away. takes me back to the days when pretty much every visit to the record store yielded some heretofore unknown GBV bootleg/seven inch/ep/album.

just put up the massive, monumental Roxy Night Springsteen bootleg from 1978.

As far as the '78 sets go, it's between this one, Winterland and Passaic. No coincidence the Roxy and Winterland sets (in edited form) comprise so much of the Live box.

heyyy i just put up a Floyd 1974 show! you know you want it.

Feelies show from 1991 up now ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com

That's my favorite Feelies boot.

yeah, it is pummeling, in a good way.

new stuff up now, including rolling stones, monkees, john peel, go-betweens ...

a bunch of new posts in tandem w/ not coming to a theater near you's Rock Follies series (www.notcoming.com). Dylan, Simon, Bowie, McCartney, Young, etc.

dude that mono Safe As Milk is AMAZING! would you happen to have it in FLAC or CD quality?

another thing to add to my want list.

also, check Shards Of Beauty for more Beefheart.

jesus christ, the drums on that portland version of little johnny jewel... AMAZING. great share, tyler.

no prob! that portland show is unbelievable.

TYLER!

this television...my lord....they are ripping it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha, yes!!!!!!!

16+ running time on marquee moon = :)

not long enough!

okay yes now marquee moon WOW
have heard so many versions of this song. but this could be the best yet.

the Can 'Queueing Down' set is fantastic. many thanks!!

I got an ilxor email from "Confusion" who didn't leave an e-mail address, asking for a repost of the Jonathan Richman box set. Happy to send the links, e-mail me at geraldmcbb (at) hotmail (dot) com.

jamming so much good music from here. thanks tylerw.

cool! good to hear.

Wow, Mickey Newbury was from Springfield (i.e. next door to me)! I know the guy from Triad who recorded that session... oh how time flies.

Who is this deity that they caller Tyler, TylerW? I just discovered this blog, and am looking at something called L.A. Gemstones: The Rock Set 1960s, 5cds....oh.my.god!

tylerw is a dude that posts some cool ass music and knows that pink floyd rules

That's what it says on my business card.

listening to It Might Have Been today and wanted to say thanks. So, so good.

glad you're digging it!
weirdly i finally posted the hank williams sr. show i was referring to in the first post of this thread, all those years ago. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/15298758989/when-that-evening-train-goes-by-heres-one-of-the

tyler! is it possible that the fukuoka neil young show you just shared (via aquarium drunkard) is the same show i have on my hd as budokan march 11 1976, or was neil cleaving to very similar setlists back then?

nope it's from the same tour, but a diff show. setlists were pretty static during that tour. i think the budokan show has "cowgirl" in place of "down by the river" but they might be exactly the same otherwise.

thanks!

uncle tupelo show ROOLS btw

yeah that's a good one -- i'll go a couple years not listening to UT and then get back into them heavily. might post another thing by them, an earlier radio show.

hey this is a good opp for me to ask you about that UT show -- is this the one where they play "truck drivin man"?

best blog btw

that's the one! "everybody knows this is nowhere" too.
big project currently is putting together an imaginary version of Homegrown, Neil's lost 70s album. it is pretty difficult.

That's one of his constant threats for inclusion in the Archives, isn't it?
When is the second installment of that due?

OH MAN! i gotta listen to that again. i haven't heard it since i was in college. my next door dorm neighbor had it and that's how we became <3 friends <3 (we are still friends)

archives vol. 2 due 2022 iirc.
yeah, homegrown is part of the "lost albums" series which they teased like 5 years ago. homegrown, odeon/budokan, chrome dreams, oceanside/countryside, i think.
my version of homegrown is just from live tapes.

haw, i became friends w/ someone in college because i heard him playing uncle tupelo bootlegs too.

aight i just put up homegrown over on you know where. go get it, neil young fanatics!

Is this little guy soarin' on acid or what?

totally in tune with the mystic vibrations of the american desert

Tyler did you see that Rain parade live video from Japan that went up on D1me this week? I nearly shit my pants.

ha, i was not soaring on acid there, my dad was like two feet away from me when that picture was taken. but the contact high was increddddible.
didn't see the rain parade thing! good? do you have any goo dlive recordings of them? i have nothing. listening to that kendra smith comp i made right now though!

I have some bits of live stuff, and a semi-bootleg thing that came out with demo's for the very last record - http://wilfullyobscure.blogspot.co.uk/2008/02/rain-parade-demolition-1991.html

The vid is great, it's just one camera and maybe 3rd gen but decent enough, it's from the same Japanese tour that they culled tracks for Beyond The Sunset which is a record I love.

tylerw, if i haven't told you lately, you rule. your blog is a thrill. thanks for this.

thanks jon!

Stream ‘Doom And Gloom’, the first new single from The Rolling Stones in six years

RIP SuperHeavy

i got them boots like jagger

They had single 6 yrs ago?

how long ago was A Bigger Bang? Seems like a lifetime.

I looked, it was from A Bigger Bang which was 2006, I forgot that album even existed!

turned into more of a whimper i guess

Bigger Bang is solid!

in case anyone wants to catch up with the exciting world of bootlegs, there's a d&g 2012 overview w/ my favorite things I've posted this year up now: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/38174115967/the-year-in-bootlegs-alrightee-in-keeping-with

Keep forgetting to visit yr blog. Got that Beefheart instrumental "Clear Spot" from you which is definitely worth listening if you are stupid enough to think that Beefheart had lost some sort of edge on "Clear Spot" - something like "Crazy Little Thing", which sounds sort of conventional on the actual album, is actually completely nuts when you hear the instrumental version. Zoot Horn is giant.

tylerw's blog is the best! most recently i never would have known about that ISB movie but did i enjoy watching it? goddamn right i did! the pirate costume was totally ridic, but what a good looking band in a good looking time.

it is a pretty good little movie. the "little" might be key -- if it was like three hours long, i might not have time for it, but at 50 minutes it's kinda perfect.

that is amazing. thanks tyler!

Doom and Gloom is a national treasure...so sad Mick and the boys ripped it off! Also, Dangerous Minds and Aquarium Drunkard sometimes have amazing little gems...

stelllar work tyler, great year.

i really like dangerous minds, i swear they have a cool little gem every day.

(not necessarily even music but just something interesting)

working at dangerous minds has gotta be high up on the list of ILX dream jobs (if they pay you to work there?)

oh yeah, my goal for my yearbook blog is to be featured on dangerous minds without any intervention or prompting from me
i just want it to appear there

magically
like maidens by a stone circle

link me one yearbook blog, LL?

sorry to be so selfish when really i came here to thank tyler for his excellent blog

haha! everyone feel free to plug their blogs here.

i'm still doing this! can't stop won't stop. here's a roundup of good bootlegs from the past year
http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/70401138958/lucky-13-as-the-sun-sets-on-another-year-heres

nice!

Yum yum, thank you, sir! But---dare we trust mediafire---anymore---? Seems like a big fat Gov. target, at best.

i don't know!

Have described your blog as an embarrassment of riches to quite a few folks, and indeed it proves to be so again.

obama's new world order can pry my neil young bootleg mp3s out of my cold dead hands!

that shit is in the constitution mannnn!

Love your blog, Tyler, always full of treasures! Thanks for the hard work!

2014 year-end roundup! 5+ years of blog nonsense!
http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/105813612462/doom-gloom-2014-wow-what-a-year-right-at

How's the Stereolab live stuff? Typical audience boot or something special?

well, it's nicely curated -- a good span of time covered... i like it!

congrats on 5+ years!

Oh man, congratulations on 5 years! I still need to catch up with so much stuff there, thanks for putting the time in.

happy bday!

Congrats! Woo-hoo!

:D

happy bday to this blog!

thx!!!!
every now and then i think about moving D&G off of tumblr ... tumblr is pretty irritating for a variety of reasons ... has anyone ever done that kinda thing, move a tumblr blog over to, say, wordpress?

My considered advice is that it'd doable, but put a pain in the arse. Congrats on the birthday - it's a fantastic blog!

yeah, that's what i figured ... maybe i need a fresh-faced intern who wants to be paid in bob dylan bootleg CDRs....

go tyler!

cheers to seven yeers

2018 roundup! this blog is still a blog!

https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/181220258037/the-year-in-doom-gloom-the-sun-is-setting-on

i still try to keep up with it on the regular

This live Richard Thompson set is fantastic - thanks, Tyler.

Re: The Velvets Hilltop Pop Fest set just posted

You had me at "longest version of What Goes On," but the wrong show is posted. The download I just got is the Boston Tea Party 7/11/69.

oh shit! thanks for the heads up, the real link is up there now ...

oh shit you have me at "longest version of What Goes On" too

2019 bootleg roundup ahoy! https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/189775584462/doom-gloom-2019-the-year-in-bootlegs-another

Great line up!

I wondered if you maybe caught the Peter Tork boot from CBGBs in '77 that came up on D1me early this year (just after he passed)?

Really interesting and curious, I meant to bring it up at the time.

i haven't heard that one! would be interesting for sure ...

Listening to the Salsburg/Shelley boot now and it's gorgeous. Thanks Tyler.

All of this does beg the question: how do I get Joan Shelley to come and play in my house? Do I just ask nicely?

ha, it does help to be friends with a friend of salsburg's but they do seem like they enjoy the house concert scene a bit more than the club scene ...

A damn shame.

I saw that earlier - the situation really sucks. Any hope of retrieval from the internet archive or anything?

hopefully tyler kept all these files, bummer

I was just marveling at the excellent unreleased John Cale stuff I got from Doom & Gloom. I hope you work something out!

Tumblr say it ain't so. Ugh

Anyone heard about this new site, Toom & Dloom?

Lol, all a big misunderstanding apparently. We are back in business. Was a stressful day yesterday though!

Happy for you and for us

oh good!

undoomed and degloomed

Gloom Exhumed From the Tomb

like jesus, rising from the tomb on a sunday morning.

i do have to get off of tumblr though.

I pay about $100 a year to host Burning Ambulance on Wordpress and the site's never gone down or given me the slightest problem in 11 years.

Big round up of live tapes posted in the year 2021. https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/671827546213646336/doom-gloom-the-year-in-bootlegs-pharoah-sanders

Too good. Lose yourself....
