The Rolling Stones - Honolulu 1966

The Rolling Stones 1966 American Tour was the last concert tour by the Stones with Brian Jones in the United States.

The band had played 29 concerts in just over a month arriving in Honolulu to conclude the tour.

Back in England, one politician announces "Our relationship with the United States runs the risk of getting considerably worse as soon as The Rolling Stones arrive in America... Americans will believe that English young people have attained a new degree of degeneration and that this country is being recklessly ruined."

Having released 'Aftermath' in the spring of 1966, the first Stones album with all Jagger - Richards compositions, not surprisingly the tour featured a number of songs from the album.

This then is The Rolling Stones on the 28th July 1966, live in concert in Honolulu, USA, from a recording circulated as 'So Much Younger Than Today' by The Swingin' Pig (TSP 012).

Set list is:

1. Intro / Not Fade Away
2. The Last Time
3. Paint It Black
4. Lady Jane
5. Mother's Little Helper
6. Get Off Of My Cloud
7. 19th Nervous Breakdown
8. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

Broadcast live by Hawaiian radio (K-POI) this is a 320kbps, conversion and is excellent for the time.

Paul McCartney - Liverpool 1st June 2008

This one could well be on a couple of Beatles fans music blogs already, but having listened, it is well worth sharing here on Beehive Candy.

Paul McCartney performed live in Liverpool
on Sunday (1st June 2008), as part of Liverpool's 'year of culture' events.

The Liverpool 08 website summed up the concert as follows:

'Anfield football ground witnessed one of the greatest nights in its history on 1 June 2008 - with a stunning concert by Sir Paul McCartney to celebrate the city's year as European Capital of Culture.

Brilliantly supported by The Kaiser Chiefs and The Zutons, the ex-Beatle - who last played in Liverpool exactly five years ago - gave a magical show with a blockbuster set of hits from his Fab Four, Wings and solo career that had the sold-out stadium on its feet for a full two hours.

With touching tributes to George Harrison - on 'Blackbird' and 'Something' - and Linda, mingled with raucous renditions of 'Hey Jude' and 'Live and Let Die' the audience knew they were witnessing McCartney at the very top of his game.

Special guest Dave Grohl - of the Foo Fighters - joined on drums and vocals to take the show into rock 'n roll overdrive which, after an encore that memorably featured 'A Day in the Life' and Lennon's anthemic 'Give Peace a Chance', sadly but spectacularly ended with an amazing firework display'.

OK no firework display here, but the concert was broadcast on BBC Radio Merseyside, from which this copy comes.

Set list is:

1. Hippy, Hippy Shake
2. Jet
3. Drive My Car
4. Flaming Pie
5. Got To Get You Into My Life
6. Let Me Roll It
7. My Love
8. C' Moon
9. Long And Winding Road
10. Dance Tonight
11. Blackbird
12. Calico Skies
13. In Liverpool
14. Follow The Sun
15. Eleanor Rigby
16. Something
17. Penny Lane
18. Band On The Run (with Dave Grohl on guitar)
19. Back In The USSR (with Dave Grohl on drums)
20. Live And Let Die
21. Let It Be
22. Hey Jude
23. Yesterday
24. A Day In The Life - Give Peace A Chance
25. Lady Madonna
26. I Saw Her Standing There (with Dave Grohl on drums)
Sound quality is very good FM mono.

The Killers - Live In Santiago 2007

Time for something more recent, in this case The Killers, live in Santiago, Chile last year.

The Killers are of course an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, who it may be fair to say have combined music styles from the 1980s and 1990s with modern synthetic music.

Formed in 2002 and made up of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., (drums, percussion), they released their debut album, Hot Fuss, in 2004.

Their second album, Sam's Town, was released in 2006.

The compilation album Sawdust, containing B-sides, rarities, and some new material, was released in 2007.

Their first two albums to date have sold in excess of 12 million copies worldwide combined.

OK that's enough 'stuff' courtesy of good old 'Wiki', so hopefully it's predominately accurate, if accurate is your bag.

This is the band live at the Fenix festival Arena, Santiago, Chile, on the 4th November 2007.

Set list is:

01 - Intro
02 - Sam's Town
03 - Enterlude
04 - When You Were Young
05 - Intro Bones
06 - Bones
07 - Somebody Told Me
08 - Smile Like You Mean It
09 - Midnight Show
10 - Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine
11 - Tranquilize
12 - Read My Mind
13 - Outro Read My Mind
14 - Bling (Confession Of A King)
15 - Intro Mr Brightside
16 - Mr Brightside
17 - My List
18 - Can't Take My Eyes Off You
19 - Shadowplay
20 - For Reasons Unknown

22 - Exitlude
23 - Outro When You Were Young

This is from a Radio Broadcast, by Radio Horizonte 103.3 FM in Chile, thankfully with virtually no DJ talk and station ID's, and sound quality is good at 160kbps FM Stereo.

Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me

The 2007 official release of 'Family Tree' has at last delivered some of Nick Drake's home recordings in very good quality condition.

Originally surfacing as a three album vinyl release, and then a two CD version, 'Time Has Told Me' contains good audio quality material, predominately home recordings, of which many are covers of artists songs.
