Fri, 15 August 2008 The LMP returns with another festival concert, this time from last years moe.down. The lineup for moe.down 8 was stellar and included the up and coming singer/songwriter Amos Lee. I’m not as familiar with his music as some of the other bands that I have featured so I’m going to keep this intro fairly short. I would describe his music as a hybrid of folk and soul with Norah Jones coming to mind with a few of his songs.
The live performance of his songs came across very well and it sounded like the crowd was digging it even if the style of music different from that of the festival’s founding fathers. The band also seemed to have a lot of fun, even pulling a Rick Roll on the crowd with a medley including Rick Astley’s 80s pop hit. Please enjoy Amos Lee and company from their September 02, 2007 performance in Turin, New York. Follow the link below to listen to the full concert Amos Lee - Turin, NY - 09/02/07 1) Dreamin'

Wed, 13 August 2008 In case you missed it on the Live Music Blog last week the Raconteurs have launched a live section on their website where you can listen to streaming audio from several concerts. Currently there are nine shows from 2007 and one for 2008 but hopefully more will be added in the future. If you like the Raconteurs you are definitely going to enjoy this. http://theraconteurs.com/live/ Category: Other -- posted at: 8:32 PM Comments[0] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Thu, 24 July 2008 The music for this episode comes once again from Bonnaroo 2008 which was just too jam packed with great performances to be contained in one episode. This time I will be playing songs from the Saturday night headliner concert featuring Pearl Jam in their Bonnaroo debut.
There is no doubt that Pearl Jam was more than due to join the amazing group of musicians that have played Bonnaroo. Not only are they a great band but they have also been a champion of the live music scene since their early days. Back in 1994 they went head to head against the mighty Ticketmaster in response to inflated service charges. In addition to this they have provided their fans with a huge collection of live music content through the Pearl Jam Official Bootlegs series. These bootlegs have captured almost every single show the band has played since 2000. The recording that I will be playing is not the official bootleg but Pearl Jam’s taping policy is kind enough to allow for unofficial recordings as well. Interesting to note on this recording is that taper makes note that some of his equipment was confiscated at a Doobie Brothers show and had to borrow gear from other tapers at Bonnaroo. That pretty much sums up the scene at Bonnaroo, great music and great people coming together. I hope you enjoy the tunes.

2) Corduroy

Thu, 10 July 2008 It seems to be festival season here at the LMP with back to back shows featuring 2008 music festivals. For this episode I will be playing music from the quaint little music and arts festival known as Bonnaroo. As always the lineup this year was stacked which made it pretty difficult to pick just one. However, I recently downloaded a show that distinguished itself from the pack, Mark Lynn's taping of My Morning Jacket. Up to this point I hadn't heard very much of their music, but I've been seeing a lot of buzz about them in the live music blogosphere. I especially had heard good things about their Bonnaroo set and had to check it out for myself. The first thing that I noticed about this set was the length, just shy of 4 hours. To entertain a crowd for that long you need to bring your A game and they definitely did that. Powerful musical performances, a great selection of covers, and guest appearances by Kirk Hammett of Metallica and comedian Zach Galifianakis all added up to one unforgetable show. The sound quality of the taping was also stellar which is made even more impression when you consider that it was raining for part of the set. Follow the link below to listen to the full concert My Morning Jacket - Manchester, TN - 06/13/08 1) Evil Urges
2) Off the Record
3) I'm Amazed
4) Hit it and Quit it
5) Anytime
6) One Big Holiday
7) Wordless Chorus
8) Mahgeetah

Mon, 30 June 2008 I suppose if you've made as much money as Microsoft you can afford to stream concerts for free. Good news for Jack Johnson fans out there because you can watch his entire performance from this year's Kokua Festival here. This almost makes up for all those blue screens :) Category: Feature Streams -- posted at: 6:25 PM Comments[0] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Thu, 19 June 2008 Welcome to episode #28 where I am pleased to bring you a band that I wasn't sure I'd ever see on the LMP. When I saw that Cake was in the line-up for this year's Wakarusa festival I hoped there might be a chance that a taper would get their set. Fortunately for me Brian Price was able to pull off a great sounding recording and especially fortunate since I missed out on Wakarusa this year.
Cake's catchy guitar riffs, blazing trumpet solos, and off the wall lyrics all make them a great band, but I don't know if they've gotten a lot of live attention. I've seen them a couple times in the past and take if from me if you are fan you will enjoy the show. You can't really argue with the statistics, 9 out of 10 German tourist interviewed agree that their songs rock even though they miss the rising action a little bit. If you didn't get the reference check out the the video to Short Skirt, Long Jacket at about 3:30 in. Follow the link below to listen to the full concert Cake - Lawrence, KS - 06/06/08 1) Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town
2) Stickshifts and Safetybelts
3) Comfort Eagle
4) War Pigs
5) Wheels
6) Love You Madly
7) Sheep Go To Heaven
8) Never There
9) Short Skirt, Long Jacket
10) Jolene

Thu, 5 June 2008 For those unfamiliar the Raconteurs they are a band of amazing musicians who’s lead singer also doubles as the front-man for a band called the White Stripes. On the music scene since 2005, I only recently became a big fan of theirs. A friend of mine lent me their latest album “Consolers of the Lonely” which I listened to almost exclusively for a solid couple of weeks. I followed that up with seeing their concert in Kansas City last April, which converted me into a devoted fan for life. If you get a chance to get out and see them on their current tour please take it and you will not be disappointed. Here’s a recording of their October 28th, 2006 performance in Las Vegas, Nevada if you need some nudging to drop your hard earned cash on tickets. Thanks to Carrington Crawford for the taping duties! Follow the link below to listen to the full concert The Raconteurs - Las Vegas, NV - 10/28/06 1) Intimate Secretary

Wed, 21 May 2008 So this is an email I received the other day from the Itunes Store... Dear Podcast Owner The following podcast has not been included in the iTunes podcast directory. Name: The Live Music Podcast Feed URL: http://www.livemusicpodcast.net/rss Submissions may not be included in the directory for a variety of reasons. For more information, please see the podcast technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html. Sincerely, The iTunes Store Team As you can imagine this was quite a shock to me since I have been podcasting for a little over a year and have been listed in the store for almost as long. I have tried emailing them back for more of an explanation as to my termination but so far have not received a response. The only explanation that I can think of is that 1) the management of one of the artists I featured complained or 2) someone who works for the store thought I was infringing on copyrights. It's tough for me to know since the email contained such little information and rather than emailing me to allow me to remove any particular episodes they kill the entire show...way to take the shotgun approach. Whoever it was probably failed to read my website's MP3 disclaimer which explains that I will voluntarily remove any music at the owners request. The good news....fortunately this will not affect anyone that is already subscribed to my podcast. Subscribed listeners should receive new episodes of the show automatically but if not you may have to re-add the rss feed. If you haven't subscribed in Itunes you can still subscribe by selecting "Subscribe to Podcast" from the Advanced menu and entering http://www.livemusicpodcast The biggest downer of this is that new listeners will have a much harder time finding my podcast without the aid of the Itunes store. That being said, word of mouth will probably be the most effective advertisement which I leave in your hands. Another thing you can do to help out the LMP is email the Itunes Store to try to get the show reinstated. If you would like to file a complaint click here and maybe if enough people bother them they will listen. Thanks in advance for your support!

Sun, 11 May 2008 As you might remember from the last episode, this show marks the 1 year anniversary here at the LMP. It has been a year filled with some pretty amazing live performances and I'm hoping the following year will bring more of the same. Looking back on the last 12 months I am blown away at the number of listeners that we have received and also the positive comments I have gotten from some of you. Thank you to everyone for tuning in and for your support of the show.
On that note I'll begin the 2nd year of the live music with a download featuring two of my favorite musicians which were also featured in the very first LMP. This time however they will be joined by a few more friends. During the winter of 2003-2004 Dave Matthews and a few close pals including Tim Reynolds and Trey Anastatio combined musical forces for a limited stop tour in support of Dave's solo album "Some Devil". I was lucky enough to catch their stop in Chicago and to this day it still sits at the top of my all time concert list. In all fairness to other shows I've seen, this was really 3 or 4 shows in one. The concert began with Dave and Tim on acoustics, followed up by the full band, then by Dave and Trey on acoustics and finally an encore with the full band. The variety of songs and band's energy really stand out to me and you can tell my the crowd's energy that everyone else there was equally impressed by it. The songs I am featuring were included as part of a Best of Dave and Friends compilation I downloaded from dreamingtree.org. Thanks to Brian at antsmarching.org for assembling it! Follow the link below to listen to the full concert Dave Matthews & Friends - Winter 03-04 Compilation 1) #40
2) The Maker
3) Spanish Moon
4) Waste
5) Everyday
6) Bathtub Gin
7) Up on Cripple Creek
8) Thank You

Sun, 27 April 2008 Tristan Prettyman's second release entitled "Hello" came out recently and fully exceeded all of my expectations. A solid listen all the way through, instead of her sophmore release slumping it appears that she has had a sophmore sensation making her way to #2 on Itunes top 10 most downloaded albums. Amazingly the full album can be downloaded from Itunes for only $5.99 which makes it a sure bet if you are looking for somthing new to listen to!
