Bob Dylan Live at the Stadtpark, Hamburg, June 26, 2011 (Audience Recording)

Relaxed mood, great weather, and a stunning show in the Park - and if you tolerated Bob's once more often erratic keyboard playing you had a good time. I was espacially happy about the Versions of "Tangled Up In Blue", "Cold Irons Bound" and "Forever Young" as the final song (the days before it had been "Blowin' In The Wind"). Some people brought their grandchildren, and they seemed - well, to be interested in this weird phenomenon on the stage, moving funnily in his black suit. Read the discussion on Boblinks.
This acceptable audience recording is sampled on 192
kbps quality. Enjoy!

Arcade Fire - Live at the Knust, Hamburg, May 18, 2005 (Audience Recording)

What - a - show! Arcade Fire came and blew the crowd away. They sang, cried, played, hammered, danced and ran around, some band members even climbed up the stage lights - all that happening during the first song already, collectively even increasing the madness during the show. And it was extremely loud. (I was lucky enough having my earplugs with me.) After this evening everyone of us was sure having seen the concert of the year. It was a positive earthquake we'll never forget. My then-almost-lover S. - a dedicated Cure fan - felt unable to join the rest of us for an aftershow drink. He just slipped away in silence.
By DJFK's special request you find the whole 64 minute show here as a fine audience recording @ 320 kbps. The Knust club still has a small, but very nice photo gallery online where this thumbnail origins from. You might as well like Arcade Fire's superb radio gig on KCRW (aired Jan. 15, 2005), to be heard (and seen!) here.

Jeff Buckley - Live at Südbahnhof Frankfurt, Germany, February 24, 1995

On Friday, February 24, 1995, Jeff Buckley and his band attended at the Südbahnhof (southern railway station) in Frankfurt, Germany, to accompany a youth discussion programme of Hessen 3, a regional TV station. During a short break the group played "Grace" as sort of an appetizer. Later nine songs followed, though the transmission ended right in the middle of a second version of "Grace". "Eternal" Life", "Hallelujah" and "Vancouver" were lacking (some sources mention "I Know It's Over" before "Hallelujah" instead of "Vancouver" as the closing tune), and it seems that no soundboard recording of these three songs has surfaced yet, not even in the TV vaults. In Germany every now and then 45 minutes of the gig are re-broadcast without the first (complete) "Grace". Also the official 2009 DVD "Grace Around The World" presents "So Real", "Mojo Pin" and "What Will You Say".
The 51 minute recording here is based on a second generation copy of the original German production tape in superb quality @ 320 kbps with all songs in correct order.

Tracks

  1. Grace
  2. Chocolate/Mojo Pin
  3. (Band Introduction)
  4. So Real
  5. Last Goodbye
  6. What Will You Say
  7. Lilac Wine
  8. Grace # 2 (Edit)
