A Bloy and his Blog

I recently discovered an outstanding resource at T.U.B.E.: The Ultimate Bootleg Experience. Featuring both live and studio recordings (outtakes, rarities, etc.), T.U.B.E. is veritable goldmine. Some of the more interesting things I found there include:

• Joe Strummer - Solos, Soundtracks, & Rarities
• Van Morrison - Gypsy Soul (Studio Demos)
• Peter Tosh - Equal Rights Demos 1977
• Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1969-08-26 - Los Angeles
  (the earliest completely recorded CSNY concert)
• Talking Heads - CBS Demos (1975)
• U2 - Pulled The Covers (1979-2006)

The one minor downside of T.U.B.E. is the slightly complicated downloading process.

For you Neil Young fans out there, That Truncheon Thing (an excellent music blog) has posted a bootleg of Neil Young’s Chrome Dreams.

Chrome Dreams is described as “one of those great lost albums, from the further reaches of rock history, that never saw the light of day, except to boot collectors.”

This particular bootleg also includes a “select batch of bonus cuts to give you a further taste of just how creative Neil was during this fertile period” (the mid 1970’s).

Definitely worth downloading. Share and enjoy.
