Geof’s New Music: 11-17 Feb 2007
Gracious, I’m terribly behind on this. [Not that you likely care, but I do.]
- 16 May 2006 [Cologne, Germany] concert bootleg of Keane.
- 9 Sep 2005 [Northampton, MA, USA] concert bootleg of Over the Rhine.
- 29 Jul 1990 [East Orange, NJ, USA] concert bootleg of Uncle Tupelo.
- 30 Sep 2003 [Los Angeles, CA, USA] concert bootleg of Beth Orton and M. Ward.
- 18 Aug 1995 [Tinley Park, IL, USA] concert bootleg of Wilco.
- 25 Nov 2006 [Chicago, IL, USA] concert bootleg of Wilco.
- 31 Jan 2007 [Charlottesville, VA, USA] concert bootleg of Jeff Tweedy.
Two weeks back was all bootlegs as I worked off a backlog:
- 11 Sep 1992 [Beloit, WI, USA] concert bootleg of Uncle Tupelo. This was a good-but-not-great bootleg. Three stars.
- 17 Aug 1995 [Cincinnati, OH, USA] concert bootleg of Wilco. Three stars. It’s pretty average-sounding, but nice to have from the very early days.
- 13 Jul 2006 [Fredericton, NB, CA] concert bootleg of Wilco. Three stars. ISTR the energy being off.
- 2 Dec 1984 [London, England] concert bootleg of R.E.M. I’m not familiar with this era of R.E.M., and the sound’s just not that great. I give it two-and-a-half stars.
- 27 Jan 2007 [Birmingham, AL, USA] concert bootleg of Jeff Tweedy. I gave it three stars. It’s pretty meh for a Tweedy solo show; those are usually a lot of fun to listen to because Jeff does a lot of give-and-take with the audience.
- 9 Jan 1998 concert bootleg of Derek Webb. Fun to listen to Derek from that long ago … man, his voice is different. Three stars.
- 17 Aug 1997 [Camden, NJ, USA] concert bootleg of Blues Traveler. Three stars … decent energy, good playlist, not the best recording.
- 6 Jul 1994 [Chicago, IL, USA] concert bootleg of Collective Soul. Now this was great. Great, great energy, and a good sound. Four stars.
