Ideally this show would have came out sooner so everyone could have listened to it on St Paddys Day, but a busy weekend followed by a Hendrix Tribute concert caused a slight delay in production. The timing for it, however, brings up a great lesson that its ok to enjoy Irish music the other 364 days of the year. Its kind of the same way one would continue to drink Guinness after St Paddys Day due to it being a very fine beverage. Well, this compilation showcases another fine Irish export, their music and musicians. 4) Black Velvet Road - Josh Ritter - 2004-03-25

When I began this year’s podcasts with Episode 58 I mentioned having a stock pile of amazing shows to kick the year off with. Well this one definitely falls into that category. This episode features an audience recording that is truly a classic and also a first on my podcast featuring the artist known as the Boss. Back on November 19, 1984, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band rolled into Kansas City to perform a 3+ hour marathon of a concert in a building filled with thousands of screaming fans. The sound quality and song selection made this recording an easy pick, especially after hearing Bruce mention Ames, IA during his epic finale. Of course Ames is home of the Iowa State Cyclones which is my alma mater. As you can imagine it was very difficult to whittle 3 hrs down to just 1 but hopefully I did a decent enough job getting a sampling of the wide range of songs. I strongly encourage you to download the entire show in order to get the full experience. One highlight of the show that I didn’t include was about 20 minutes from the end of the set Bruce pauses for a moment just to announce that he got his second wind and goes right into a cover of “Twist and Shout” mixed in with “Do You Love Me?”. Listening to this concert, Bruce’s love for performing music is palpable and he truly earns his nickname of the Boss. That band of his can kick some butt too. Well here it is, I give to you Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band! Take the Live Music Podcast listener survey here!

I'm glad that they posted this since I didn't get a real good look at OK Go's laser guitars when they played in Kansas City a couple weeks ago.

My friend Nate recently told me to watch the pilot episode of Austin City Limits starring Willie Nelson and friends. Willie's music is legendary but I guess I didn't expect to enjoy the show as much as I did. I've always heard the slower songs but these guys blew me away with their ability to jam. It's a good thing Willie was available for the Pilot since who knows if Austin City Limits would have been picked up if some else, Barry Manilow perhaps, had played instead.

Podcast #60: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds (w/ Bob Weir and Carlos Santana) - San Rafael, CA - 3/14/99
I want to start the show by wishing everyone an early Happy Valentine’s Day or a late one depending on when you download this. Also I’d like to let my listeners know that I have noticed less downloads of the App bonus content than I would have expected. If you have purchased the App and need help accessing the bonus section please email me at livemusicpodcast@gmail.com. Thanks again for your downloads and support. This past Tuesday was the release of the new Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds concert album “Live In Las Vegas”. This album includes the music from night three of Dave & Tim’s Las Vegas trilogy last December and I highly recommend picking up a copy of it. Partly due to this release, I thought the timing was perfect to finally podcast what I consider to be the finest live acoustic set ever captured by a taper. I played a Dave & Tim recording on the very first episode of this podcast and you don’t know how close I was to using this one instead of the 2006 Vegas show. Picking a Dave & Tim recording is extremely difficult because there are so many flat out amazing ones in circulation. So you might be asking yourself what makes this one so special. Audio quality is pretty much a given so lets just skip that. Next up is a passionate performance and excellent song selection…check and check. Finally you need something extra unique to make it stand out from the rest. Do special guests the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and Carlos frickin’ Santana do it for you? I’d wager most of you will be in the hell ya category. Just a quick note before I get into it; you might notice a lot more space between the songs than I normally leave. This was done intentionally to highlight the often hilarious banter that comes out of Dave’s mouth, lovingly referred to as ‘Dave Speak’. Please enjoy Dave, Tim, and their guests from the March 14, 1999 performance in San Rafael, California. Take the Live Music Podcast listener survey here!

A while back I was contacted by Backyard Tire Fire's manager to help spread the word about their upcoming record release concert in Chicago this weekend. Unfortunately it slipped my mind until just now to post it on my blog (although in my defense I did contact all of my Chicago friends earlier in the week to spread the word). He also mentioned that they will be playing their hearts out to impress some radio people there so I'm guessing you are going to get your moneys worth ($15) and more. Tickets are still available so if you live near the windy city go get em! Here's a video for the title track "Good To Be"

I'm admittedly an OK Go noob so I've kind of been wondering what they sound like live. Well thanks to an update I just saw from their Facebook account I now know. That's right...get a free download for a live version of White Knuckles. The only catch is that you need to have a Twitter account. http://okgo.promojam.com/promotions/giveaway/authorization/new Oh and the answer to my question of how they sound live...really really good. Here's their live performance on last night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson as further evidence. Also anyone in the Kansas City area should check out their free concert at the Midland this Saturday (they're big fans of the whole free concept apparently).

Like most of you I watched the Super Bowl last night and although the game was absolutely spectacular I thought the commercials were a bit lacking this year. One of them, however, especially moved me. It was an ad for the Kia Sorento starring 5 child toys including the famous Sock Monkey taking the Sorrento for a joy ride and generally partying up the town. The fact that this commercial had the Sock Monkey getting an I Heart Mom patch stitched on its arm and the Robot toy dancing the robot at a club was enought to win me over. As awesome as seeing toys getting their party on is, each scene was greatly accentuated by the driving funk powered tune playing in the background. After some quick searching I discovered that the song is called 'How You Like Me Now' by a British band called The Heavy. I tried to find some audience recordings of this band but my quest was without any luck. I did, however, find some really great videos for live versions of this song. First up we have their live in studio performance at Seattle's KEXP. Also be sure to check out KEXP's Youtube Channel since there are lots of other great videos similar to this one.
Next is their 01/19/10 performance on Letterman. They rock it so hard that Dave asks them to play an unprecedented encore...Letterman knows his shit. The Heavy - Late Show with David Letterman - 01/19/10 Finally the commercial that started it all (for me that is).

You may have already seen this video since it has been making the rounds on the interwebs this week, but if not you are in for a real treat. OK Go made their break into the mainstream in large part thanks to the amazingly creative videos for "A Million Ways" and "Here It Goes Again". Well when their latest album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, came out January 12th the expectations were set pretty high for a new video. They did not disappoint.

Very quickly I would like to thank everyone that has download the Live Music Podcast App and shown your support for this podcast. I hope you are very happy with your new purchase and I look forward to bringing you more quality live music to play through it.
Well here it finally is, the podcast I have been hyping up for a full week on my site. Hopefully you will agree that it was well deserving of that. When I heard the news last spring that Jack White would not be touring with The Raconteurs in the coming year I was deeply confused and disappointed as a huge fan of theirs. I was also a little skeptical of the new band he had formed with him moving from guitar to drums and leaving the majority of the singing duties to Alison Mosshart of The Kills. Well that feeling of worry evaporated very quickly with my first listen of their debut album Horehound and having heard and seen some of their live performances I have now fallen madly in love with the new sound. At this point I will follow Jack White to a polka band if need be, because he has an incredible knack for surrounding himself with immensely talented musicians. Without further adieu I present to you from their November 17, 2009 concert in Brooklyn, NY, The Dead Weather. Take the Live Music Podcast listener survey here!

I looked at a lot of audience recordings before deciding on the perfect show for the podcast. The following concert was a very excellent recording and almost made the cut. One thing about this particular recording that gave it some extra bonus points was the creativity the taper used in describing the band. Unfortunately he left out "woman of my dreams" next to Alison Mosshart's description.

This is the first podcast of 2010 so I want to kick it off by wishing everyone a very Happy New Year. I’ve got a ton of great music lined up to get this year started off right so I hope you will continue listening. Just one quick announcement before I get into the music portion, I made a false statement in the last podcast when I was introducing the new Live Music Podcast App. I had assumed that the Itunes store used the same system for gifting apps as it does for music but apparently that is not the case. For now it looks like the only way to give an app to a friend is to email a gift card through the store. Unfortunately they are only sold in $10 increments so your friend will have to find another way to spend the eight dollars and one cent that they have left over. If you need a suggestion you might mention all of the great Itunes links that are found at livemusicpodcast.net.
Well the music I have for this show is Dan Auerbach and The Fast Five’s August 9th stop at last year’s Lollapalooza. This tour was in support of Dan Auerbach’s solo release Keep It Hid but you may recognize Dan’s voice from his other band, The Black Keys. I’m not totally sure why Dan and drummer Patrick Carney decided to spend some time apart for this album/tour but Black Keys fans need not worry. They have already been back in the studio to record the rap rock collaboration project Blakroc which came out last November and are also working on a new album which will be released in the spring. Similar to Dan, The Fast Five also have an alter ego outside of this gig and are more widely known as the San Antonio based group Hacienda. Take the Live Music Podcast listener survey here!
