Genesis - Empire Theater, Liverpool U.K. - April 19th, 1975

I've been listening to this one a lot lately. It is a crystal clear soundboard recording from the last month of Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" tour. The "Lamb" tour was original singer Peter Gabriel's last with Genesis. There are 6 "Lamb" soundboard recordings currently circulating amongst collectors and Liverpool is my favorite by far. The band are in top from and this show has an air of improvisation that other "Lamb" shows lacked.

Pink Floyd - Empire Pool, Wembley, U.K. - November 16th, 1974

This bootleg is sourced from "Pre- FM" tapes of the concert that were recorded by the BBC for broadcast in England. As far as bootleg collectors are concerned, "Pre-FM" sourced recordings are just about the best you can get. When a recording is a "Pre-FM" sourced it means that the recording came from the actual tapes that were broadcast over the radio. There are a lot of "FM" sourced recordings out there as well that were recorded directly from radio broadcasts and while they frequently sound excellent they are potentially prone to static and interference. "Pre-FM" recordings are the cleanest you can get.

This recording is a 2 CD set and it features the entire "Dark Side Of The Moon" album on Disc 1 and the song "Echoes" on Disc 2.

Black Sabbath - Asbury Park Convention Center, Asbury Park, N.J. - August 6th, 1975

Another "Pre-FM" gem that catches Sabbath in full flight on their 1975 "Sabatoge" tour. As a long time collector of live Sabbath recordings I can say that this show featured one of Sabbath's finest performances ever. Ozzy was still in great voice and the band are incredibly tight. Awesome versions of "Symptom Of The Universe", "Hole In The Sky" and "Killing Yourself To Live".

Led Zeppelin - Madison Square Garden, New York City, N.Y. - February 12th, 1975

This kicks so much ass! This soundboard recording caught Zeppelin just a few weeks into their marathon "Physical Graffiti" tour. The album had yet to be released in the United States when this show took place so it is very interesting to hear the crowds reaction to songs like "Kashmir" and "Trampled Underfoot" that would later become live standards. The performance contained on this bootleg is tight yet raw and exciting although Robert Plant's vocals are a little unsteady in places. Essential listening for any Zep fan.

Jimi Hendrix - Axis Outtakes

The title pretty much says it all. This 2 CD set features outtakes and alternate versions of songs recorded during the sessions for Hendrix's "Axis: Bold As Love" album. Along with alternate versions of such classic songs as "Little Wing" and "Spanish Castle Magic" are such unreleased gems as "Somewhere" and "Cherokee Mist".

The Who - The Summit, Houston TX - November 29th, 1975

An incredible soundboard recording of The "classic" Who on their "Who By Numbers" tour. The 1975 tour was largely a "greatest hits" tour and The Who's epic anthems are well represented on this 2 CD set. Highlights include "Baba O'Riley", "Dreaming From The Waist" and a blistering version of "Drowned".
