Looking For Some Help With Finding Bootlegs

As you know, we post quite an array of music here at So Many Roads.  That said, its next to impossible to find good quality recordings foe certain bands.

So, if you have any soundboard, FM broadcast, or high quality audience tapes of any of the following bands (or know where I could  find them), I'd greatly appreciate if you could help me out:

• Robin Lane & The Chartbusters
• Rachel Sweet 
• The Bongos
• Lone Justice
• Sam Cooke
• The Drifters
• Dion

Thanks for the help!

May's Theme At So Many Roads

For May we bring you a new theme which we call 1 Artist, 3 Decades. In others words, we'll bring you 3 shows from each artist we feature in May, with each of those concerts being from a different decade. So, for example, you'll get a concert from Eric Clapton from the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s. It will be a fun way to see how an artist or band evolved over the course of their career.

By the way, for the Grateful Dead, we'll bring you a pair of shows from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, because with the Dead every night was unique so a couple of shows gives you a better look at what and how they were playing in each decade.

Now this post has tipped you off to 2 artists we'll feature in may, but I'm going to leave the rest unmentioned so as not to reveal everything!

Enjoy the tunz!

Eric Clapton - 1987-04-27 - Madison Square Garden, NY (SBD)

Here's part 2 of our Same Tour, Different show entry featuring Eric Clapton in  1987, and its one of the best concerts I've ever attended. After watching Clapton at Live Aid on TV in July 1985, I came away with a renewed interest in the man and his music.  EC seemed to have found a new lease on life, and his playing, while maybe not at the level of his days with Cream or the Dominos, was certainly more inspired than it had been in years.  As a result, I decided that it was time to see Slowhand live in concert, something I hadn't yet done up to that point in my concert "career".  It took almost 2 years, but I finally got tickets to see Eric at Madison Square Garden on April 27, 1987, 29 years ago today, There was just one catch.  Demand for tickets had been so high that all we could scrounge up were tickets behind the stage.  Needless to say,  my buddies and I had were worried that the seat location might ruin the show for us.  Turned out that the seats weren't that bad after all.  We were front row, behind the stage, with a perfect view of Phil Collins on the drums. Even better that that, Eric came back behind the drums numerous times to play for the folks in the "cheap seats". We couldn't have been more than 10 feet away from him.  EC must have been inspired by being in New York, because he played a show for the ages. Download this soundboard recording to see for yourself and pay close attention to the incredible Badge into Let It Rain combo that brought the entire Garden to its feet!

Bobby Darin - 1973-04-20 - Burbank, CA (TV SBD)

In the summer, of 1972, Bobby Darin hosted a variety show on NBC that turned out to be a surprise hit for the network, The show was brought back in January 1973 as a mid-season replacement and ran until April. What no one knew at the time, however, was that the show would be Darin's swan song. The incomparable singer would die on December 20, 1973, after 5 hours of open heart surgery failed to repair his already damaged heart, which had suffered a fatal infection when Darin failed to take medications designed to protect his heart prior to a dentist visit earlier that month. He was only 37 years old.  In 1990, Darin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Nine years later, he was voted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. This TV Soundboard recording captures him on April 20, 1973, 43 years ago today, during the next to last episode of his variety show. Download this one, then come back on April 27 for part 2 of this Same Tour, Different Show entry featuring the last show of his TV series series.

Frank Sinatra - 1962-04-20 - Tokyo, Japan (SBD)

In 1962, Frank Sinatra launched a world tour that took him to Japan, Hong Kong, Israel, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, England, and Monaco.  He was backed by Bill Miller (piano), Irv Cottler (drums), Al Viola (guitar), Harry Klee (flue/sax), Ralph Pena (bass), and Emil Richards (vibes),  The tour was the largest humanitarian gesture of Fran;s long storied career.  Every concert was designed to raise money for children's charities. At the press conference prior to the tour, Sinatra said he was "an over privileged adult, [who] ought to help underprivileged children."  Frank  paid for the entire tour, even though first lady Jackie Kennedy had offered to have the State Department sponsor the venture. Buddy Rich, who had played drums for Sinatra, described the tour as follows: "He took [six] of the best musicians in Los Angeles, He chartered an airplane, went to Japan, went to London [to raise money] for the orphanages. He paid the transportation of the entire technical crew, plus the musicians, plus the entertainers. He gave every musician a set price plus their expenses for hotels and food. And nobody ever knew about it. He just went over and did this out of the goodness of his heart. You gotta be some kind of a beautiful man to do this."  This soundboard recording captures Sinatra during that legendary tour in Tokyo on April 20, 1962, 54 years ago today.  Download this one, then come back on tomorrow and on on April 28 for two more form this Same Tour, Different Show entry.

Bruce Springsteen - 2009-04-15 - Los Angeles CA (SBD Matrix)

On April 1. 2009, Bruce Springsteen launched the Working On A Dream tour, the title taken from his album released in January of that year. Yet, despite the title, the tour featured very little material from the new disc. Instead the set list and themes were more comparable to the Magic tour from a year earlier, including a focus on current topics such as the great recession. Overall the tour was a critical and commercial success, but its conclusion would have a sad aftermath. The tour would be Bruce’s last with Clarence Clemons at his side, as the saxophonist would pass away in 2011.  This soundboard matrix recording captures Bruce & The E-Streeters on April 15, 2009, 7 years ago today, in Los Angeles.  Download this one, then come back on April 28 and 29 for two more posts in this Same Tour, Different Show entry.

Elvis Presley - 1972-04-14 - Greensboro NC (SBD)

The King. Sure I was too young to ever catch him in concert but you're never too old to enjoy his music. No this isn't the Elvis of the 50's and 60's, and yes, he's wearing one of those infamous sequined suits, but Elvis could still rock at this point.  As mentioned in other posts on this blog, his 1972 tour featured numerous outstanding performances.  This soundboard recording from Greensboro on April 12, 1972, 44 years ago today, is no exception. The set list includes Burning Love, which was released as a single later that summer and reached #2 on the charts, the last Presley tune to hit the top ten. Rock critic Robert Christgau called Burning Love "the most exciting single Elvis has made since All Shook Up.

U2 - 2001-04-13 - Vancouver (SBD Matrix)

I've posted numerous shows from U2's 2001 tour on this blog and with good reason.  First, the shows highlight about 1/2 dozen songs from the band's album All That You Can't Leave Behind, which ranks among the best work they have ever produced.  The album received tremendous critical acclaim, sold 12 million copies and won 7 Grammys.  In addition, the songs Beautiful Day, Walk On, Elevation, and Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, all were successful singles. Second, the concerts from this tour show a band with a renewed energy and purpose.  The staging was more intimate than the previous Pop Mart tour, with U2 making a concerted effort to get closer to its audience.  Finally, and most importantly, I will always have an emotional connection with this tour.  I saw U2 on October 28, 2001 in New Jersey, in the wake of the September 11 attacks that struck nearby New York city. Songs from their new album such as Walk On, Peace on Earth and New York, all took on added meaning in the wake of that tragic day.  Moreover, the sight of the names of the victims of that attack being projected on a tall backdrop, scrolling up towards the sky during One, is something I will never forget.  This soundboard matrix recording captures U2 near the start of the tour, on April 13, 2001, 15 years ago today  Download this one, then come back on April 20 and 24 for parts 2 and 3 of this SAme TOur, Different Show entry from U2 in 2001.

Bruce Hornsby - 1996-04-12 - San Francisco (SBD)

As promised, here's the final show in our Same Tour Different Show entry from Bruce Hornby in 1996.  This one is a little special because of the backstory around this date and the special guests featured in the show we;re posting. On April 12, 1999, my lovely bride and I saw Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers at the Morristown Community Theater, a venue that barely holds 1200 people. My bride was pregnant at the time, so we always joke that it was also the first concert for my twin boys! Maybe the intimate setting inspired Mr. Hornsby, because the playing was on fire that night. Bruce unleashed awesome versions of many of his classics, including Western Skyline, Across The River, Fields Of Gray and The Way It Is. He did incredible covers, including Girl From North Country, Under The Boardwalk, Tupelo Honey and Madman Across The Water. The highlight of the night was an amazing segue of Rainbow's Cadillac into the Dead's Franklin's Tower, flowing back into Rainbow's. April 12 must have been a good day for Hornsby because 3 years earlier, he had played another amazing show. This soundboard recording captures Bruce on April 12, 1996, 2 decades ago this very day, in San Francisco. After about 15 of his own tunes, Bruce is joined by special guests Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, who help him through a set of Dead classics.Download this one, then come back on April 22 for another show in this Same Tour, Different show entry.
