Lovely Bootlegs...: Radiohead at the Palace, Hollywood, 15.06.95

A nice radiohead bootleg can be downloaded at the link above for free.....

Bootleg: Radiohead Newcastle Arena, Newcastle, 23, November, 2003, 23.11.03

Also.... I added the Radiohead bootleg from Newcastle, England on the 23rd of November 2003 (23.11.03)

I actually went to this gig myself. Hooray for me! I'll add a player soon and a write up, as I intend to do at some point will all the bootlegs. As mentioned in previous blog, the download link is halfway down the page for some reason??? So scroll down.

Also, I forgot to mention that the media players I am using on the website do not work on internet explorer. (suprise...not.)

Anyone would be doing themselves a LARGE favour by downloading some other web browser which isn't internet explorer. Like say, google chrome or firefox....

and not just because they'd get to listen to my radiohead bootlegs either....

Someone recommended the same thing to me about 5 years ago and I just quietly agreed with the advice whilst wondering... what's a web browser? Good times.

An interview with Colin Greenwood pre-performance of Radiohead T In The Park 1996

Hello Earth,

I've just found this really cute youtube video of Colin Greenwood from Radiohead being interviewed before performing 'at the back of the stage' for Radiohead's set at T in The Park Festival, 1996. He clearly has no idea of how HUGE radiohead were going to be!

YouTube - radiohead high and dry T '96

Also, here is the complete audio performance of Radiohead's set at T In The Park 1996 for your listening and downloading pleasures!

Radiohead Bootleg: T In The Park 13th of July 1996

It really is one heck of a performance... The whole set is brilliant, but their closing song - 'Thinking About You' is well worth a listen, if not purely for the fact that it's not a song you'd ever hear Radiohead play nowadays, but it's also a really emotive performance too, far more angst ridden than the Pablo Honey version, but then it was generally the case that Radiohead had a tendency back then to perform Pablo Honey songs better live than they did for the actual debut album. The 'Live at the Astoria' DVD is a testament to that.

All in good time though....

Bootleg: radiohead, T In The Park, glasgow, 13, July, 1996, 13.07.96

Bootleg: radiohead, T In The Park, glasgow, 13, July, 1996, 13.07.96

Hello.... I am persisting with my bootlegs website... although to be honest, doing the whole thing from scratch is proving to be a ridiculously tedious and slow process. For some reason I can't get the player for this one to work yet and I can't understand why... even so, it is still downloadable. (You just can't listen to it yet!)

It is the bootleg of radiohead performing at T In The Park, (Strathclyde Park) Glasgow, Scotland on the 13th of July 1996 - (13.07.96)

It really is rather an excellent setlist too. The sort that would make one fall over if half of the songs on there were ever played at a Radiohead gig now!

Rant about N.M.E and music magazine sections in supermarkets.

Okay so aside from getting a lovely letter back from Nadine Shah today... (I'll get to that later. But not today.)

I feel the need to have a rant about something.

For the last few weeks I have been buying N.M.E magazine... now to be perfectly honest, I do not rate N.M.E... I see it as lazy, dictating, fad journalism alot of the time. A 'cool' persons magazine bought by 'cool' toff kids who get their daddy's from the south to get them tickets to festivals and then hold up queues for the tap water because they're using it to 'wash their hair'.... Give me strength.

I get tricked by N.M.E every time the manic street preachers are on the cover. Granted, it's the cheapest option from all the other music magazines (Q, Mojo, Uncut etc... which are all nearing the £5 mark) and so therein lies it's only real appeal. I pay a couple of quid for a feature on the manics and then the rest of the magazine is tripe. Mostly full of rubbish, egotistical, hyped up, boring, poncey bands.

The other thing about N.M.E which annoys me is how it nearly always, almost every single week places the word 'Radiohead' on the cover and almost every single week you will also find that there might only be a few sentences at best regarding radiohead which will justify highlighting their name on the cover. The sheer cheek of it being that Radiohead - Thom Yorke in particular have never had a good relationship with N.M.E. In fact, from the outset, Radiohead had no support from them, only cruel and esteem battering reviews. How the tables have turned. They're one of the biggest bands in the world now and N.M.E need to include their band's name on every cover because it's helps them sell copies. Quite pathetic.

But in anycase, the reason I've purchased the last three issues in a row is because they've been covering Glasvegas, and I LOVE Glasvegas. I went to see them in Hawick a few weeks ago and shall be seeing them again in Sunderland next month. Brilliant.

I wasn't actually intending for my rant to be about N.M.E magazine, but it was the purchase of N.M.E that lead me to my main gripe...

Music magazines in tescos? Where abouts will they be located do you think?

Mens Interest!!! (No, seriously!)

Music magazines in Sainsbury's?

Men's Lifestyle!!!

(I haven't checked the other supermarkets, but If I get the chance to do so you can bet your bottom dollar that I will!)

Oh. My. Goodness.

This can't possibly just be me, but is this not, surely - blatant sexism???

In a men's magazine section, I expect to see (sad, but true) FHM, Zoo, Nuts etc... and then probably something more tasteful, like 'Men's health'...

But shouldn't Music magazines... and while we're at it, photography (yes, that too!) be in a general interest section? I mean for goodness' sake, women are not the minority in music. They're not! Maybe 50 years ago they may have been, but half the bands and artists today in these magazines feature women and I am certain that those buying the magazines can't be alot different in numbers???!

As a point of interest, I should also make a point of saying that the editor of N.M.E is in fact... shock! horror! of the female variety, as are most of the team of writers... I can't speak for the other magazines because I don't have them on hand to check, but I don't really think I need to take my point any further than it is already.

Confining music magazines to the 'men's interest, is just completely and utterly ridiculous.

The End.

I can't think why I have never noticed this before. It could well be because I am 5.4 in height.

Radiohead at Coliseu dos Recreios - Lisbon, Portugal July 24, 2002

Dear Jack,

I have just uploaded another Radiohead show...

Here it is:

Radiohead at Coliseu dos Recreios - Lisbon, Portugal July 24, 2002

I was planning on uploading the bootlegs I had first, except I had some problems with my CD rom drive thingy, namely that it keeps ejecting all my copied cd's before I get the chance to rip the music they hold.

In anycase, I found a random bootleg online and uploaded it. It takes such a long time, but I've had a good amount of interest so far and hope that in time it might be worth it.

Radiohead played this show in 2002 just prior to releasing their 2003 'Hail To The Thief' album. The first half of the set was used as a sounding board for the songs which would end up on the album and this is for the most part what makes for interesting listening as with some of the tracks - Go To Sleep, I Will and Sit Down Stand Up in particular now serve as alternate or rough draft versions of the better known studio ones.

The banter between the crowd and the band was notable - both being in good cheer. The sound quality is slightly scratchy and distorted in places but certainly not unlistenable.

I have made do with using a picture of Ed and Thom at the Q awards 2002 for now, which sadly was the only remotely relevant picture I could find. (Purely because of the year!) If anyone has or can find any better ones please let me know.

This was the third time I saw Radiohead perform.

Deer Hoof and Beck were supporting.

Deer Hoof were certainly interesting. A four piece band with oddly structured songs, a generous use of pauses, outstanding and unique minimalistic drumming (By this I mean the kit was minimalistic, not the actual style) with sometimes no more than a sentence worth of lyrics to a song and fronted by a fairly eccentric Japanese girl.

Beck... well everyone knows who Beck is. I only really know his well-known songs, but he was entertaining and the puppets, and pre-performance video of their time in Edinburgh was great.

By the time Radiohead opened with Airbag I was about one metre from the barrier at the stage. I remember singing my head off with the crowd and thinking how lovely Thom Yorke looked in his little denim jacket!

The following songs however were slightly torturous. The crowd for some odd reason were really violent! This is not what anyone would expect from a Radiohead gig. This is the same band that hung up posters around the huge blue tent they had made on the the Big Top tour saying “Radiohead kindly request NO MOSHING”

This was without a doubt the scariest crowd I ever had the misfortune of being in, though I think it was possibly a case of a small number of people spoiling it for everyone else. After the fourth song I’d had quite enough. My jeans were half way down my backside, my hair was getting pulled in every direction, I had actually been lifted up and suspended off my feet for a good few seconds by the sheer force of the crowds’s movement and left there until dropped and had absolutely no control whatsoever over any of my limbs or which direction I was headed!!!

In hindsight I should have gone over the barrier but as that's where the crowds undercurrent was coming from - I decided to go back through the crowds which took forever as it is rather a large stadium. Thankfully during 'Morning Bell', Thom decided to stop the song half way through in order to calm the crowd down and express his disapproval. This bought me enough time to get out without too much casualty.

So all in all this was a bit of a strange gig for me because there was a fair amount of shock and tears involved. :( But heck, crying at a radiohead concert! I’m sure it’s not the first time it's ever happened right?

The open air stadium was an excellent venue and made for an enjoyable atmosphere. The band were in full swing as usual and Thom's voice seemed to get better with each song. Videotape, Nude, All I Need, Bodysnatchers were all new songs on the setlist at that time and were to be recorded a year later for the 'In Rainbows' album.

Radiohead closed the set with a rather sarcastic version of ‘creep.’ A song that I never in a million years expected I would ever get to see them perform!

All in all it was nothing if not a memorable gig!

I will be adding more gigs soon on my bootlegs website !!!

Lots of love,

Girl from winter jargon.

Hello Earth,

Okay, so I had this idea to create a place online where you can listen to and download bootlegs taken from live performances of various bands - for FREE!!! It's all thanks to bandcamp really.

bootlegs.bandcamp.com

Most bands are okay with this sort of thing I think. I'll have to obviously check first before I start uploading everything, but for the most part, this is free live music recorded by fans and shared with other fans for the sake of furthering the interest and promotion of music. I am not interested in selling or buying in this sort of thing as that would be illegal whichever way you look at it. It's all for free.

I have a number of bootlegs myself and will be uploading them regularly in the following months.

(It takes a fair amount of time and I want to make a good job of it and include lyrics and photo's etc... so it's not just a case of simply uploading a huge file.)

Radiohead are going to be the obvious choice to begin with for many reasons:

1) They are probably my favourite band of all time.

2) I have a whole bunch of live bootlegs from them. Some of which are of gigs I actually went to, and so there's this need that I have to proudly display those recordings and say, 'I was there!'

3) They are a very popular band with fans that will almost certainly appreciate what I am doing and get the whole 'recording of gigs and sharing online' thing.

It's very strange as even though bootlegs are not exactly a new thing, I never fail to be amazed at the amount of people that go to gigs and do not think to either record it themselves somehow, or look for a recording online afterwards from someone else. For some reason it just doesn't occur to people - or fans of certain bands - that it be done. Then again, last year I came across someone who had never heard of getting setlists from the stage. I also met another person who didn't understand what a soundcheck was. You tend to come across people like this as a result of free local festivals. I guess you have to start somewhere though.

Anyway, it probably about a decade ago (gasp!) that I spent a brief period of my life obsessed with swaping bootlegs, as in actual physical cdr's with people all over the world. It's actually quite amusing to be now that this is what i used to do. I wasn't overly internet savvy at the time and knew nothing about online file sharing or anything like that. There was plenty of other people that did it though, and it was quite good fun. A hobbyist sort of thing. Searching for the bootlegs you wanted, negotiating swaps, (remined me a lot of collecting pogs at school!) and sending them through the post. You also had to rely on each other's trust to an extent.

I'm pretty sure this was the website I used to use for it: http://www.tapetrader.com/

There doesn't seem to be much going on there at the minute. I don't really know if the whole tape trading thing is active anymore. But at the time it enabled me to get lots of radiohead bootlegs so i was happy! The funny thing is that I got into Radiohead through my older brother and he had the first three albums on cd and for years I just used to steal them. But then he moved out and I just became content with listening to live Radiohead music only and for some reason it took me years before I would revisit and purchase the studio albums again.

But there you have it. The website is up, currently with just one complete show. I'll tell you more about that in a second...
