AC Newman --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date Venue Media Type Media Count Sound Quality Notes
08/15/04 Go! Rehearsals Room 4 CDR 1 A Very nice, full-sounding show; a bit more natural-sounding than the album versions. Recommended.

Aimee Mann --- Approximate Hours: 11.25
Show Date Venue Media Type Media Count Sound Quality Notes
08/24/96 Largo CD 1 B A good audience recording. The sound is a bit muted, but highly listenable despite that and the occasional high pitched clap or shriek from an audience member. Particularly interesting is the last number and the Jon Brion spin put on it; makes one wonder how Bachelor #2 would have been had he a greater hand in the production.
02/07/00 Rams Head Tavern CDR 2 A Amazing sound quality, terrific show. With patter by comedian Paul F. Tompkins? Yes, please.
06/11/00 Berklee Performance Center CDR 2 B+
02/10/03 Irving Plaza CD 2 A- Some diginoise in track 10, disc 2. Also includes a cover of Lynrd Skynrd's "Sweet Home Alabama".
12/12/06 Townhall CDR 2 B+ A super fun show, though most definitely an audience recording. Still, not much lost for it. Grant Lee Phillips, Nelly McKay and Paul F. Tompkins are charming guests.

Show Date Venue Media Type Media Count Sound Quality Notes
06/03/01 Garden Bowl Bar CDR 1 A- Yes, there is a slight buzzing, but it's inaudible when the guitar plays, doesn't distract at all. This is a great show, good mix of White Stripes originals and covers.

Joe Strummer --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date Venue Media Type Media Count Sound Quality Notes
11/02/99 Roseland Theater CD 2 A- The electric live set is a brilliant example of Joe tearing up a small club, playing an excellent mix of solo and Clash material; the in-store acoustic makes you wish he'd done a whole album of this stuff, mellower, good-humored, the lyrics and his personality really shine.

Show Date Venue Media Type Media Count Sound Quality Notes
??/??/89 Unknown CD 1 A-
03/15/91 The Borderline CDR 2 A Great sound and a small setting, complete, acoustic set and sounds like it was just after Out of Time was released. My only complaint would be Michael Stipe's endless ramblings, leading to some extended track times. But, then, that's Stipe, isn't it? You sorta know what you're in for. But you can't argue with the terrific set.
11/19/92 40 Watt Club CD 1 B includes bonus track, "Losing My Religion"

02/13/04 Beacon Theatre CD 2 A- A terrific setlist and Wainwright's amiable charm more than make up for an OCCASIONALLY shaky recording; highly recommended
