The Who - Woodstock
The Who at Woodstock. Shouldn't need to explain this one, but for virgin ears, The Who played a most spectacular set at Woodstock. The summer of 1969 found The Who playing Tommy for the world for the first time. Look up 'The Abbie Hoffman incident' - Pete Townshend rebelled against the rebels (the hippies). As the sun rose over Woodstock, Roger Daltrey sang, "Listening to you, I get the music.."

The Who - Live at Leeds
February 14, 1970 - Valentine's Day! The Who recorded this show to possibly be released. The New York Times called it the best live rock album at the time. The original album was made to look like a bootleg. In 1970, bootlegs were a new thing. The Who played a soecial version of My Generation that includes parts of other songs. Listen to it for this alone. In 2002, they finally released the complete Live at Leeds show so there's no need to get the bootleg. The official cd sounds better anyways - its the one I listen to! I call this power-pop rock.

The Who - Live at the Metropolitan Opera House
If Tommy is a rock opera, then this is the rock opera at the opera house. I love it! Four scruffy middle class kids playing for the rich in New York City.

The Who - Live in Charlton 1976
The loudest rock'n'roll show according to the Guiness Book Of World Records! This record lasted for decades.

The Who - Last Stand With Keith Moon and Final Stage
Last Stand With Keith Moon is Keith Moon's last concert with a regular audience. Final Stage was his last ever performance - The Who brought together a few hundreds "super-fans" to help record footage for The Kids Are Alright movie. Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again from this last performance.

The Who - John Entwistle's Last Show
John Entwistle's last show with The Who. An amazing bass guitar player.

The Who - The Tommy Demos
Pete Townshend's Tommy demos! His demos are so incredible that they've released the Scoop series - three cds of demo material. The Tommy demos weren't officially released yet and I hope one day they will be. This is Tommy as originally written and recorded. Amazing!

Pete Townshend - A Day in the Garden
In 1998, Pete Towmshend returned to Woodstock for the first time. In between songs, he talks about The Who's experience at Woodstock - the acid, the Abbie Hoffman incident, the aftermath of Woodstock. The gospel version of Listening To You shows a more mature Townshend returning to an old stomping ground.

The Beatles - The Ed Sullivan Shows
February 9, 1964 is the moment modern rock'n'roll was born. The Beatles appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show changed the world. This excellent bootleg has all of The Beatles performances on The Ed Sullivan Show. They returned to the show that gave them their start every year until 1970 - and when they didn't actually show up, they recorded something for Ed! This is an incredible look back.

The Beatles - Candlestick Park
August 29, 1966. The Beatles last live concert in front of an audience.

The Beatles - The Complete Rooftop Concert
On January 29, 1969, The Beatles played a set on the rooftop of Apple Records. They knew they were breaking up so they themselves were aware of importance of the occasion.

The Beatles - A Toot and a Snore
In 1974, John Lennon and Paul McCartney found themselves in a recording studio together for the first time since The Beatles! Its LA in the 70's.. This is the kind of thing that the record companies will never release. Listen to what John Lennon asks for at the beginning and you'll hear why! (And that's before we get to the quality of the music!)

The Beatles - I'm the Greatest
The last time so many Beatles played together! John, George and Ringo got together in the studio to help Ringo record his single, I'm The Greatest. This bootleg has a bunch of outtakes of that song.

Paul McCartney - The Cavern Club Concert
On December 22, 1999, Paul McCartney took the stage at the old Cavern Club for a show of 50's rockers. With David Gilmour on guitar, this is my favorite millenium show - a bunch of bands did retrospective shows at the end of 1999. I also have the video of this. Most of these songs are from Paul's Run Devil Run cd. If anyone has the right to cover 50's rockers, its Sir Paul McCartney.

The Doors - Miami
This is the famous show where Jim Morrison got in trouble for doing pulling his pants down on the stage. Jim Morrison and The Doors are a great symbol of 60's rebelliousness.

Bob Dylan - Newport 1964/1965 and Live 1966
Dylan went played at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. In 1965, he returned and shocked everyone by playing electric for the first time! The moment Dylan went electric is the next big moment after The Beatles' first appearance on Ed Sullivan. For the next 2 years, Dylan awed audiences by playing electric guitar on stage. Live 1966 is the best example of these shows. An audience member yells out, "Judas!" Dylan replies, "I don't believe you. You're a liar." And then tells the band, "Play fucking loud!" before ripping into Like A Rolling Stone. Newport is only available on bootleg and Live 1966 is at any self-respecting record store.

The Grateful Dead - Live at the Pyramids
During a lunar eclipse, The Grateful Dead played a long set at the Great Pyramids in Egypt. September 1978 - this is what The Dead were up to when Grease, Andy Gibb and Leif Garrett were on the airwaves!

Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison
On March 7, 1968, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter (he played at Woodstock and The Texas Pop Festival) and Buddy Miles (legendary drummer) found themselves at The Scene Club in New York City. Morrison is drunk and probably more. The most fun bootleg you'll ever have! Listen to The Door talk about entering someone's back door!

Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock
By Monday morning, most people had gone home. The 60,000 who stayed got to watch Jimi Hendrix close Woodstock. An official cd was released with all but two songs - get it!

Led Zeppelin - Last Show
July 7, 1980. Led Zeppelin's last show - Berlin, Germany (fitting, as Led Zeppelin are huge there).

Bob Marley - Last Show
September 23, 1980, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The last show of the man who taught us to smile.

Simon & Garfunkel - Back to College
November 11, 1969, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. In the mid to late 60's, Simon and Garfunkel toured colleges and universities. This is where they built their reportoire and career. These college shows are classics - a few are out there in soundboard quality. This one will take you back!
