Tue, 30 June 2009 Bonnaroo 2009 was a few weeks ago and although I am a little late to the game I wanted to honor the greatest music festival in the world with a few Bonnaroo posts, followed by a podcast from one of this year's acts.
The first post I have is an amazing high quality video stream of The Raconteurs performance in 2008. I am really amazed that the website has kept this streaming video alive for over a year and hopefully it will not go away any time soon. Please support the artists by buying their music!

Thu, 18 June 2009 This show features a band that I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately called Backyard Tire Fire. This hardworking Midwestern rock and roll band plays honest music for the everyman, as you might expect with a name like Backyard Tire Fire. I was able to see these guys open for Grace Potter last November and despite the annoyance of the fire alarm going off several times, they put on an awesome performance. Fortunately the concert I have for you does not have any alarms. With so many great recordings on archive.org it was tough picking out just one, but special thanks go out to the band’s manager for kindly directing me to this one.

Sun, 7 June 2009 In case you missed this on fuse last Monday, Hulu is streaming the full Dave Matthews Band concert from the Beacon Theater. Despite Dave's noticeably strained vocal chords during a couple of the songs the band puts on an amazing show mixing in classic hits and new tracks from their latest release: Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.

Tue, 26 May 2009 Last month I received an email from a listener asking if I would do a show to mark the 15 anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. Although the actual anniversary has since passed by, I thought it was a great idea and especially wanted to do this because of Nirvana’s influence on me during my earlier years.
I looked around for some quality sounding live shows without much luck but not surprisingly there are a great many bands that cover Nirvana songs. I thought it would be fitting to put together a compilation of those covers recognizing the lasting impact that Kurt Cobain and Nirvana has had on rock music. Some of these are from well-knowns like Gov’t Mule and Disco Biscuits, but also included are several less established bands but equally inspired covers.

Thu, 16 April 2009 I want to take a minute from normal broadcasting to welcome back Justin from his short hiatus on livemusicblog.com. Those familiar to it will be glad to know that his jam friendly site is back with concert and festival updates, band news, and everything else related to live music. Just in time for the prime concert season. Also of interest one of the recent postings announced the creation of a new site, livemusicworkouts.com, started by LMB contributor Whit Person. As the name suggests this site features high energy live music sets to get your workout moving. It’s a great idea considering most people don’t usually consider live music recordings when they put together a workout mix.
Now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast, already in progress. For this show I am featuring a recent concert by Idaho born singer songwriter Josh Ritter. I owe my friend Susie, who very well might be his biggest fan, for introducing me to his music. The last time I saw her she burned a mix of his songs and I’m hoping on this episode I will have returned the favor. Please enjoy Josh Ritter and his band live at Baltimore’s Ram’s Head, March 26, 2009. Song Listing 1) Other Side

Sun, 15 March 2009 With St Paddy’s day just around the corner I thought it would be fitting to feature a concert with some Irish heritage. With that in mind you’d be hard pressed to find a concert any more suited than U2 in their hometown of Dublin. Combine that with the release of their new album, “No Line on the Horizon”, and this pick was a no-brainer.
The recording I will be playing was made during the On the Eleventh Hour tour, December 30th, 1989. Besides having impeccable sound quality it also includes special guest B.B. King towards the end of the show and is easily one of the best recordings you will find on U2Torrents.com.
