Springsteen at Winterland, 1978. Should have been in the Darkness box set, have no idea why not. An amazing show.
I'm no expert at all on bootlegs...
but I'd like to see Little Feat's 'Electrif Lycanthrope' get an official release. I heard it once and it was fantastic.
Ultrasonic!
PM me. Or not.
You beat me to it
I dished a few copies out at the last Mingle.
The copy I play
is a composite of the material from Lycanthrope and "the other one" - all the material recorded at Ultrasonic, without duplications, in sparkling hi-fi sound. Plus I added a niftyswell Neon Park cover. It's as good as Columbus, which is high praise. Feat boots (ha!) tend to be a bit samey, given their restricted setlists, so you only really need the best.
Patrick needs to know
that the two Ultrasonic studios radio broadcast sets of which you speak are easily available from archive DOT org, fully legal and both in lossless flac format.
The two sets are here:

Six of the Best
Genesis with Peter Gabriel - Milton Keynes Oct 12 1982. And yes, we know it was really filmed too, release the DVD as well.
Shame Hackett
only made the last song.
Was it multitrack recorded?
I thought that the only boots around were audience jobs. I can't imagine that, after this long, nothing has slipped out of any soundboard audio or pro-shot video.
Rumours
suggest that both soundboard tapes and pro-shot film exist, perhaps at The Farm.
The only bootlegs in the public domain are audience tapes, although a soundboard of the Hammersmith Odeon rehearsal is now out and about and not that bad.
It can only be...
...the Mahavishnu Orchestra 'Wild Strings' bootleg: live in Cleveland, 1972 - opening for Procul Harum and West,Bruce&Laing. Imagine being in ANY band and having to follow this.
Recorded on multi-track by Columbia, mixed for release several years ago and then... nothing.
Listen to this, ye mighty, and despair!
Or, on the other hand, just put on some headphones and sail forth on an ocean of bliss.
Yikes...
I think I might be becoming a Mahavishnu Orchestra fan! That first song is really powerful.
Sadly I don't think my insistence upon the greatness of Supertramp has had a similar effect on non believers.
Too bloody right...
...it hasn't! :-D
But welcome to the Mothership Mahavishnu, Patrick!
Oh, and also...
...Roxy Music's BBC Sessions (available on several boots under several titles, though I only have a dodgy cassette version from 100 years ago)...
Any Super Furry Animals live one
Especially if it were the Halloween one I saw at Portsmouth Guildhall years ago!
Hell yes
The best live band I have ever seen.
I wish I could get hold of the Lightning Fryday show they did at the Festival Hall in 2004. I've got a couple of shows recorded...let me know if you want them
Neko Case & Her Boyfriends
Live in London. This recording of a Peel session is the best thing she's done
Oh
Bowie

- the complete Austin 1983 show with the TKO Horns
- Royalty Theatre 1986 (although a box set spanning the original Spinning Songbook tour with guest spots from Tom Waits, The Bangles etc)
- the 1991 Rude 5 tour rehearsals
I'll leave it there
Great list
and I would also add Dylan/Cash session
I have
a nice vinyl copy of that. And recent too - boot vinyl still lives on
Uh-huh.
Love the bit where Cash, after launching into a few standards and finding himself alone, enquires "what songs do you know, Bob?"
Adding to your Zeppelin list
"Destroyer" from 1977, and "Live At Filmore West" from 1969.
Yep
plus the audio of Albert Hall 1970 deserves a release all of its own
Oh and some more Stones they could release next
Marquee 1971 (with DVD)
Get Your Leeds Lungs Out 1971
Heading For An Overload \ LA Friday - LA Forum 1975
Beat Beat Beat! BBC Tapes
Perth 73 (just for Jaggers most cockerney of accents - he actually says "gawd, ain't we bin lucky" at one point)
Stones 1972 Tour rehearsals with NYC sbd
and the soundtracks to "Gimmie Shelter" and "Ladies & Gentlemen"
and in honour of our cover star
Cathy's Home Demos (will never happen as it would be like showing her finger paintings but the solo piano demo of "Babooshka" deserves to be heard in pristine quality
U2 - the Sunday Bloody Sunday gig from R&H
Just that song as audio. The rest of the set a bonus.
The Smiths
There must be more than enough material for a properly mastered, annotated 'anthology' style box set of Smiths outtakes. I used to have dozens of those cassettes you would get at record fairs and market stalls in the 80s and 90s, with the badly typed track listing on fluorescent paper and a photocopied pic of Moz on the front.
Did you catch the recent alleged "Joyce Tape"?
http://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/112376-The-Smiths-Unreleased-Demos...
shows there is some nice stuff from across the years
Does this count as a bootleg?
I'd have thought
the Glyn Johns "Final Mix" of Get Back (or Let It Be), plus the complete rooftop concert from the Penny Lane Chart-toppers.
never mind that
for starters why the buggery isn't there a Beatle promo collection?
I have several boot ones - the best set covering 4 DVDs between Studio and Tour Years but it is staggering that a easy moneyspinner like that isn't out there
Off the record
Just rewatching The Thick Of It...
'You mixed up on the record and off the fucking record. What if George Martin had done that?".
Prince / Small Club
My favourite bootleg of all time is Prince / Small Club - and I wouldn't call myself a massive Prince fan. Would love to see an official video release of this (if it even exists).
Given the sound quality of the "Small Club" CD, I've always suspected its a semi official release anyway...
From it this.....
[Forever In My Life / Prince "Small Club'}
