HUM
PJ Harvey
Radiohead
My Bloody Valentine (Really horrible sound quality, but I still have it.)
That's all I can remember at the moment.

I remember trying to record my own bootleg at an easyworld gig. The problem was, I kept my dictaphone in a pocket just below the knee of my baggy jeans, and jumped around a fair bit. The sound quality was something like this:
#I don't *thwack* know *thwack* *rustle* why but *chhhhrgggghhhhhh* I just *thwack*#...
etc.
Needless to say, it didn't make for good listening.
-
The only really good one is the Gringo on Peel compilation. It has a live Wolves! (of Greece) set as well as Bilge Pump in session. Fully mint.
-
Mayhem 'Dawn of the Black Hearts' bootleg*
I win.
*Only a copy though...Oh man, the real thing, with the cover and all...Kvlt as fuck!
-
all i have is a radiohead bootleg from paris ('97, i think) that i got at a little record store in a box labelled "Demos (wink wink)"
-
My bootleg collection is exclusively Nine Inch Nails:
Welcome to the Hate Machine: demos of Pretty Hate Machine material (including two tracks that were rejected), plus some additional studio tracks.
Solid Gold Hell: live recordings from the Pretty Hate Machine tour. Notable for the "Now I'm Nothing" live intro, and an early version of "Wish" with additional lyrics and cooler drumming than the studio recording.
Nassau '95: two discs, live from the The Downward Sprial tour. Adam Ant does guest vocals in the encore.
-
I have two Pink Floyd bootlegs from when they were here on the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour that I found at a garage sale for 50 cents.
-
I have a really good quality bootleg of the Living End at "the roundhouse" down in Australia, that'd probably be my favourite one.
As for others...uhm. I have Jawbreaker 8/11/90, 3/21/92, 6/18/93, and 5/18/96; three lawrence arms (one of which is just an acoustic set with Brendan and Chris), one of the Broadways; Half of some Warped Tour set by Alkaline Trio; one of Faraquet, one of Kid Dynamite's reunion shows...
now that I think about it, I have quite a few.
-
I also have a shitload of live bootlegs on my computer, but I'm much too lazy to list them and they're mostly just bands like the Frog Brigade and the Disco Biscuits.
-
FROG BRIGADE! YAY!
-
All about the acoustic Metallica disc. I guess it was done at like charity gigs or something, but it has a version of Nothing Else Matters where James Hetfield can't stop laughing.
-
oh good lord, according to my list at db.etree (http://db.etree.org/-sam) I've got over 600 "bootlegs," and I haven't updated that list in almost a year! Uhm, lesse:
David Byrne - Bonnaroo '04: I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't anything nearly as transcendent as Byrne's set at last year's Bonnaroo, awesome.
Dave Matthews Band - 12/8/98: Really hard choice here, anything from 11/20 - 12/8 is gold in my book. The Flecktones opened for that stretch and the resulting shows were staggering. The Last Stop encore for 12/8 in particular is a stunner, with Bela folding a little Bach into the outro.
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones - 9/14/01: It was a weird time and it was just good to see the Flecktones do their thing for two hours
Umphrey's McGee - Bonnaroo '04: Just because it's an epic ~4 hour show that includes two Metallica covers by two different bands.
enh, too hard to choose, I know i'm forgetting something.
