Found a few bands whose names I recognise. :) * Midnight Oil: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... This one has a fairly decent quality recording of "Beds are Burning" too. Australian Classic Rock. :) --- * Tracy Chapman: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... Audio quality is decent here too. Listening to "Fast Car" now, and the quality is solid. :) --- * Ben Folds Five: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * R.E.M: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Björk: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Born to Run: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Captain of Industry: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Depeche Mode: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Lemonheads: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: https://archive.org/details/aadamjacobs?and[]=creator%3A%22n... * Nirvana: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Sonic Youth: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * Suzanne Vega: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * The Bangles: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... * The Cure: https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection?and[]=c... | ||||||||

It is especially amazing considering this recording was made in 1988, just one month and one day (how poetic!) after Fast Car was released as a single. | ||||||||

There are several Dinosaur Jr recordings, two from the late 80s / early 90s, of which this is the best one: https://archive.org/details/ajc02597_dinosaur-jr-1993-04-10 The other has the better set list (IMHO!) but unfortunately a very "thin" recording with only mids. No Pixies, but The Amps have one appearance: https://archive.org/details/ajc02207_amps1995-10-31 The performance is ... "uneven" And four stunning Guided by Voices sets, of which the best is https://archive.org/details/ajc00711_gbv-1999-12-10/GBV1999-... | ||||||||

It is an utterly amazing collection, although not the era I am the most familiar with. However, let me add a few as I love your initiative and went through them all and skimmed the ones below to get a sense of the quality. Billy Bragg: * https://archive.org/details/ajc02362_bbragg1986-12-04.ajcpro... * https://archive.org/details/ajc02359_bbragg1988-05-06.ajcpro... Not the cleanest vocals on either of the recordings, but the former is overall higher quality from what I could tell. Boogie Down Productions: * https://archive.org/details/ajc02338_bdp1988-05-18 Excellent recording and great live act, just a pity that it is rather short. Mojo Nixon: * https://archive.org/details/ajc02226_mojonixon-skidroper1987... Another great live act and recording. I am sure Mojo would very much approve of this being shared as well. | ||||||||
