Thanks to Fat Reg for being the first person to leave a comment. He asked for the rest of this gig, so here's part 2, which is 3 more songs. I don't know the title of track 4 so if you know, leave a comment. The other two are Shake Well Before Opening and Reverend Black Grape.
I will upload the 3rd part soon, too, but here's the second block for now.

edit: Here is the third and final part with the songs: Shake Your Money, Yeah Yeah Brother and Kelly's Heroes.
I hope you enjoy the concert.

Nirvana live at Reading 1992

2008-09-14T17:07:00.002+01:00

Hopefully, this post should get people along here a bit more!
This is the first part of an 8 song section of their headlining festival set, which was broadcast on the radio. I'd seen Nirvana the year before, when they were low down the bill as it was just before they released their second album... can't remember what it was called... The following year, they were the last act of the festival and you've probably heard about it if you're a fan or if you were also there.
The first part has these four songs in it.

Breed
Drain
Aneurysm
School

Black Grape live in Brixton

2008-08-28T20:13:00.003+01:00

This is a 44 minute concert recorded at the Brixton Academy in Feb 1996. There are 9 songs, mostly from the "It's Great When You're Straight" album.
If you don't know Black Grape, they were the band formed by Shaun Ryder after Happy Mondays. They followed on the funky, indie sound and got even more dancy and their first album mentioned above is brilliant.
The first part has these three songs:

Tramazi Party
In the Name of the Father
A Big Day in the North

The first few seconds of the first song aren't great quality as was usual at the start of a cassette but it improves and stays good for the rest of it.
Let me know if you would like the rest of the concert.

Black Grape live part 1

Mercury Rev - 3 songs

2008-08-14T21:58:00.003+01:00

These three songs were recorded when David Baker was still in the band and, in my opinion, when the band still sounded good. I think they've gone mainstream since his departure and I have no interest in them now. Their first two proper albums, "Yerself is Steam" and "Boces" are great, quirky indie rock, similar to their friends - Flaming Lips. The sound quality of this recording is pretty much perfect and the songs come from those two albums.

Tracklisting:

Something For Joey
Chasing A Bee
Boys Peel Out

Mercury Rev live 93

Tiger

2008-08-12T19:29:00.003+01:00

Tiger were a band from the southeast of England and were active between 1996 and 1998. They were a great, different kind of indie pop band who didn't fit in with any style at the time (and still wouldn't and I like that way of thinking...)

I bought their first album "We Are Puppets" but had left the country when they released their second so I never got hold of a copy. However, this set, which was recorded between the two albums features their later songs.

The tracklist is this (thanks to Yoko Casionos):

Bee Song
I Was A Rolling Stone
Friends
Soho Soul
Root Cage
Speak To Me

Tiger - Six live songs

Madder Rose

2008-08-12T19:27:00.000+01:00

Madder Rose were from New York and recorded melodic alternative music during the 1990s. Their most well-known song was probably "Swim", being their second single in 1993. They have been compared to the Velvet Underground, Lush and Juliana Hatfield.
These live songs feature another track that made the Festive 50, that being "Car Song". Madder Rose split up in 1999.

Car Song
Lights Go Down
Margaret

The Sugarcubes - Murder and Killing in Hell extracts

2008-08-12T19:24:00.000+01:00

These songs are taken from a live video from the Manchester Academy, March 1992 that I have on VHS. I don't think it's available any more so I think it's only fair to put some of the best ones on here.

Gold
Deus
Birthday
Blue Eyed Pop
Delicious Demon
Motorcrash
