Please note that for all the above we have just re-posted the shows where they headline - not any guest appearance. Some of those guest appearances may be availble via the re-posts we did of Festivals - see below for list!

Use the sidebar (at his site) where it says LABELS to click on the artists above to be taken to the posts we've put up for each of them.  Then scroll to the show you want and the new link will be there.

These new links, like all free ones, will expire in 30 to 60 days. That said, don't hammer the links all at once - that's the fastest way for the host to delete them for overloading traffic.  Grab a show or two a day, then come back the next day for another couple, and so on.

By the way, if  I missed a show along the way, or posted an incorrect link, just leave a comment below the post and I'll get it fixed.  Been dealing with dozens of re-posted links so mistakes are bound to have happened.

Enjoy the tunz!

Oh we will Speedyman we will!

Speedy says: I saw Tom Petty live once, in April 1983 at the Brendan Byrne (later the Continental Airlines, and finally, the Izod) Arena. Nick Lowe was the lead-in band, making for quite a new wave night of music. I've seen Bob Dylan on 3 occasions - with the Grateful Dead serving as his back up band for a set in 1987 (after the Dead played 2 sets of their own!), as a headliner in 1989, and as the lead in band for the Dead in 1995, their last tour before Jerry Garcia passed away.

What I haven't seen is Dylan and Petty on stage together, but that's just what happened in Minneapolis on June 26, 1986, 4 decades ago this very day, as captured in this soundboard recording. Believe it or not, the 1986 Dylan/Petty tour was an outgrowth of two major concert events – Live Aid and Farm Aid. At the end of his set at Live Aid, Dylan said "I hope that some of the money…maybe they can just take a little bit of it, maybe…one or two million, maybe…and use it, say, to pay the mortgages on some of the farms and, the farmers here, owe to the banks…". While that comment angered Live Aid organizer Bob Geldorf, it did help spark the effort to organize Farm Aid. The first Farm Aid show was held just 2 months after Live Aid, on September 22, 1985. Both Dylan and Petty played at that show and struck up a mutual friendship. That led to Dylan inviting Petty and the Heartbreakers to serve as his backup band for his 1986/1987 True Confessions tour. The Dylan/Petty collaboration would later continue in the Traveling Wilburys.

The Go-Betweens - The House Jack Kerouac Built (1987)

I’ve always wondered if this song was about the time when the Go-Betweens shared a house in London with Nick Cave and members of the Bad Seeds. Live, this song was always a highlight.

With friends like these; you’re damned as well

Blimey! Wonder what sharing digs with Nick Cave was like . . . . . . ?!

Remembering the blues legend Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1893 or 1903 – August 14, 1958) | Don’s Tunes

Although he struggled throughout his life to produce a sufficient income, Big Bill Broonzy played an integral role in launching the global popularity of Southern blues. Born to sharecropper parents on June 26, 1893, in Scott, Mississippi, Broonzy grew up in Mississippi and Arkansas. As a child, he experimented with homemade guitars and fiddles and, by the age of 15 proved he was skilled enough to play at special occasions. During the next five years, he mastered his unique vocal techniques and guitar skills that would assist him in his career which began after a stint in the U.S. Army in World War I.

In 1920, Broonzy moved to Chicago to work as a professional musician. He had some luck landing live performances for mostly Black crowds at Chicago nightclubs. In 1926 he made his first recording with Paramount Records, playing backup guitar for local blues artists Cripple Clarence Lofton and Bumble Bee Slim. By the early 1930s, Broonzy was finally given the opportunity to record under his own name for the Melotone, Oriole, and Champion labels. By the end of the decade, he was the top-selling male blues vocalist on the Perfect and Vocalion labels and established the widely known Bluebird Beat Chicago Blues sound while recording with the Bluebird label. By this time, Broonzy was no longer a solo performer. He began to play with small groups that incorporated the piano, trumpet, saxophone, and sometimes a rhythm section.

By 1945, Black musical tastes were moving away from the blues toward jazz and popular music. Broonzy, however, found and exploited the growing interest of whites in blues. By the late 1940s a new generation of white blues lovers praised him for his spectacular performances with fellow blues and folk musicians Brownie McGhee, Pete Seeger, and Sonny Terry. In 1951, his popularity reached Europe when, at the age of 58, he performed blues music at the London Jazz Club. He returned the next year to perform with Mahalia Jackson and continued to make appearances in England in 1955 and 1957, as well as in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.

Jo Ann Kelly - Jo-Ann Kelly (1969 uk) | Plain & Fancy

 Jo Ann Kelly - Jo-Ann Kelly (1969 uk)

The rock era saw a few white female singers, like Janis Joplin, show they could sing the blues. But one who could outshine them all -- Jo Ann Kelly -- seemed to slip through the cracks, mostly because she favored the acoustic, Delta style rather than rocking out with a heavy band behind her. But with a huge voice, and a strong guitar style influenced by Memphis Minnie and Charley Patton, she was the queen. 

Born January 5, 1944, Kelly and her older brother Dave were both taken by the blues, and born at the right time to take advantage of a young British blues scene in the early '60s. By 1964 she was playing in clubs, including the Star in Croydon, and had made her first limited-edition record with future Groundhogs guitarist Tony McPhee. She expanded to play folk and blues clubs all over Britain, generally solo, but occasionally with other artists, bringing together artists like Bessie Smith and Sister Rosetta Tharpe into her own music. 

After the first National Blues Federation Convention in 1968 her career seemed ready to take flight. She began playing the more lucrative college circuit, followed by her well-received debut album in 1969. At the second National Blues Convention, she jammed with Canned Heat, who invited her to join them on a permanent basis. She declined, not wanting to be a part of a band -- and made the same decision when Johnny Winter offered to help her. 

Throughout the '70s, Kelly continued to work and record solo, while also gigging for fun in bands run by friends, outfits like Tramp and Chilli Willi -- essentially pub rock, as the scene was called, and in 1979 she helped found the Blues Band, along with brother Dave, and original Fleetwood Mac bassist Bob Brunning. The band backed her on an ambitious show she staged during the early '80s, Ladies and the Blues, in which she paid tribute to her female heros. In 1988, Kelly began to suffer pain. 

A brain tumor was diagnosed and removed, and she seemed to have recovered, even touring again in 1990 with her brother before collapsing and dying on October 21. Posthumously, she's become a revered blues figure, one who helped clear the path for artists like Bonnie Raitt and Rory Block. But more than a figurehead, her recorded material -- and unreleased sides have appeared often since her death -- show that Kelly truly was a remarkable blueswoman.

T.U.B.E. : says 

This was a boot on the "Big Daddy" label.

It's a strange hodge podge of really good quality soundboard live material from 

this Beck Group and alternate studio versions from the Rough and Ready sessions. 

To me, that's the real draw of this.  

The 2 albums that Beck did with this band are my all time favorite material from him, and this is a great chance to hear some different versions of just about all of the songs from the Rough and Ready release, plus 2 versions of an unreleased track called July 13th.  

Only the album closer, Jody, is not here. Rayne's Park Blues was what Max's Tune was called on the LP version of this I bought when it was first released.  

Somewhere along the line it was re-named Max's Tune, and that's what it's been labeled as on later LP pressings and all of the cd issues of this material.  

Some of these songs are fairly similar to what you're familiar with from Rough and Ready, but all have something different, whether it's Cozy Powell's bass drum pattern, Max Middleton's comping, Bob Tench's vocal, Clive Chaman's feel or fills, Beck's Wah Wah rhythm pattern or solo, or an altogether different feel or performance.  

This studio material apparently came from tape reels of the sessions that Cozy Powell owned. These surfaced as a 5 cd set (one for each reel) on a Japanese bootleg label. That set went for a ridiculous price, and is not widely available.  

This 2cd set that I'm liberating has one disc containing all or almost all from these Cozy reels, and another disc of really good live material that's probably been up here in one form or another before. All together, it's a great listen and a great snapshot of Beck in one of his more overlooked eras

No, not Bob Dylan’s ‘In The Summertime,’ this is Bob’s cover of Mungo Jerry’s smash hit ‘In The Summertime.’  This is an early outtake from the Empire Burlesque sessions, November 1984.
