Various Artists @ 1997 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas night #1 (with some extras from Anaheim 1999) Jane's Addiction, No Doubt, Scott Weiland, Sarah McLachlan, Beck, Matchbox Twenty, Rancid, Fiona Apple, Smash Mouth, Blink-182, Sneaker Pimps, Chumbawamba

 


The KROQ "Almost Acoustic" Christmas. I remember when they made the transition to Lollapalooza Junior in 1994 but kept acoustic in the name for whatever stupid reason though 90% of the people attending don't have the first clue the difference an acoustic guitar and an electric one. At least for a few years they would broadcast on the radio so I would have no interest whatsoever in going no matter who was playing. Even Bowie.

To be honest since this what put together piecemeal over time not sure if all the interviews were properly included but I might still have the DAT tape somewhere. And in the days when I was still mastering to CDR I would sometimes fill out the disc with other sets. On top of that, a lot of the folders were erroneously dated as Dec 5 but since Wikipedia is always 100% correct I used that to fix the dates.

Enjoy!

    I am going to try to get to this but none of this stuff is in the same folders. Anybody have Smashing Pumpkins video stream from the latest?

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

Anniversary Posts Are Back! (Or are they?) Or is it still back on Friday?

 I cracked open the text file where I copied in all the anniversary dates and decided to listen to some overflow shows I never got to in years past and arrange at least the next few days. As usual only posting stuff that's been listened to and only if I feel like listening. The amount of garbage shows with CD skips and the like is pretty incredible. CD skips? Really? The fact that I am the only one who makes a note of this just confirms most of us are mindlessly feeding the OCD monkey clicking and downloading anything to file away in case they find a cure for death and want something to listen to in 500 years. That and more than 3 bursts of DAT diginoise gets the recording deemed useless and the folder automatically deleted. Doubt I am resurrecting the method for good and definitely not redoing anything. If anything this might signal me demoting myself to passive listener. In the meantime, enjoy and reshare. More transfers on Friday. I did go to the first show of 2025 Friday though...

Band Of The Month - Iggy Pop / The Stooges (updated - 2020's + more)

  since I called Oasis band of the month a few months ago let's try this again. This may include video a little further out. LIMITED TIME / LAST TIME Round 1 - 1970's NYC Palladium 1977-03-18 (SB) NYC Palladium 1977-03-18 (SKOTF) DETROIT, MI 1977-03-25 SEATTLE, WA 1977-04-09 HAMBURG, GERMANY 1977-09-17 NYC Palladium 1977-10-06 DETROIT, MI 1977-10-20 HAMBURG, GERMANY 1979-05-26 BOSTON, MA 1979-11-02 ROSILYN, NY 1979-11-04 MINNEAPOLIS, MN 1979-11-20 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 1979-11-29 (FM) LOS ANGELES, CA 1979-11-30 (FM) everything at https://pixeldrain.com/l/gSzaUZJu anything earlier I have is official release apparently or miscatalogued. These are scattered across several different collections so it's always possible something is missing. Can't say I am on the hunt for anything except maybe random LA shows I might have missed.  Working on 1980's now but might not be til tomorrow or a few days. Every post or 2 will be a separate decade and might wrap up with some odds and e...
