>he has expressed that his obsession with music prevented him from having a social life and caused a romantic partner to leave him: "She said 'I never see you,' because I’d been running around recording Pavement", he said. "I would rather have these recordings of Pavement’s first tour of the Midwest than have had the relationship which I really don’t remember well at all."

Holy fucking based

>no big black, rapeman, or shellac

this is kind of awesome.
listening to Gastr Del Sol right now

>>129984284
lots still to be uploaded, though he was banned from the metro for 6 years so depends if they played there or not during that time

>>129984137
I have nothing nice to say to autists and the hyper-obssessed

This interface is really bad to be able to find things and it will be even worse if they actually upload the 10k concerts.

>>129984137
Very extensive. Gonna jam this Tortoise show from 2005. Also have to say though, as a taper of shows myself, people are garbage. The constant noise of chatter, even during songs, is tragic. You're either there for the music or you're not. Stay away if you don't give a shit about it enough to have a meaningless chat during an experience of live art.

>>129984476
too based for /mu/

this is why I stopped going to shows, the crowd doesn't shut the fuck up, no matter how loud the band is.

Fuck's sake shut the fuck up for 90 minutes, put your goddam phone down and just experience the art.

>>129984284
I didn't see any wesley willis either, though that still might be forthcoming.

I went to a Greg Freeman show at a fairly small venue recently and these douchebag college bros would not stop talking at full volume until this guy next to me yelled at them. You're walking distance from multiple bars, go there and talk.

Without this I would have never geard of Galaxy of Mailbox Whores.
I don't know what a mailbox whore is, but now I have access to a galaxy of them.

>>129986299
That's funny, a friend just told me to check them out recently.

go here bros, it's easier to navigate

Fag lol

I see some shows from 2026. Are they done uploading?

>>129990343
11 have been uploaded today. only a quarter are up assuming the 10k figure is accurate

bizarre how the quality of the mbv show in 92 is top notch for what kind of portable recording equipment was but the 2018 ones are absolute ass

Getting me some Lozenge rn. Cool shit.
>Chicago
No Shellac?
No US Maple?
Who does this cocksucker thinks he is.
>>129990413
I recall looking up for Bungle bootlegs. All the disco volante ones were obviously recorded on tape, gritty as shit sound, meaty and midrangy. Then, on california tour, all boots were digital, and they sounded like trash, boomy, hollow, shrill.

>>129990654
>Chicago in the 90s
>zero Jesus Lizard shows
wtf

>>129984137
Holy shit this is amazing! Thanks for posting this, this is what /mu/ should be about.

>>129984284
only one Tortoise show as well

https://archive.org/details/ajc01319_tortoise2005-07-16.ajcproject?webamp=default

>>129984284
seven Bastro shows though

75% of it hasn't been uploaded yet, come back later and maybe it will have the albini's stuff

>>129990988
hopefully. Very little grunge at the moment too. Though there's a Nirvana show from '89 where hardly anyone is there it seems which is surreal to listen to

kind of crazy that this guy was doing this for so long, literally 40 years, and he never got good at it
wildly inconsistent recordings from pretty good to completely unlistenable

Apparently it will still take them a few years to complete.

>Once a month, Brian Emerick makes the trip from the Chicago suburbs to Jacobs' house in the city to pick up 10 or 20 boxes each stuffed with 50 or 100 tapes. Emerick's job is to transfer — in real time — the analog recordings to digital files that can be sent to other volunteers who mix and master the shows for upload to the archive.
>Emerick estimates he's digitized at least 5,500 shows since late 2024 and that it will take another few years to complete the project.

God bless nerds.

It’s awful, but you need to get as close to the stage as possible. It gets really packed and cramped, but it’s your best chance to avoid people fucking talking around you.

>>129984137
anyone knows if this stuff its being uploading on any p2p community?

>>129984137
I enjoyed the Sonic Youth tape where they basically performed Daydream Nation right before it was released

>>129984137
is that being upload to any p2p community?

>>129993536
you can download everything as a torrent. You do it bro

Aaaa

>>129984284
You're supposed to be dead, Steve.

Listening to the Godspeed tape now. Very good quality.

>>129998317
It kinda sucked ngl. Theyre kind of basic.

>>129998996
>ngl
You just did.

Jonathan Richman at Lounge Ax is my favorite so far

fuck off anon, when an autist gets a useful obsession like OP's picrel, it's great

Obviously GYBE and probably the whole audience were all gigantic lefties, but it was still pretty edgy to play the George Bush piece publicly only three weeks after 9/11.

>>130001600
Not really. They never fell for the bullshit and knew exactly what he was. Time has proven them right.

haven't listened to the Husker Du ones but they probably sound better than their studio albums
