Any soundboard/radio recordings of Strummer and Pogues?

[sgil75]

Hey guys, new to this board and was wondering if there's any soundboard recordings or live radio broadcasts of shows with Joe singing with the band. I figure there has to be something other than audience recordings available somewhere. Thanks for any help!

There exists a set of multitrack tapes of a Pogues/Strummer gig in London in December 1991 which, one of these days, I will get around to mixing. Meanwhile, three of the tracks, previously used on b sides, are available on a Pogues box set called Just Look Them Straight In The Eye and Say Pogue Mahone! along with two mixes of "Afro-Cuban BeBop". We never did any radio broadcasts and as far as I know, all existing bootlegs, like the National Stadium, Dublin, are audience recordings, but there are Medusans better qualified in this department than myself who may be able to give you a definitive answer.

There are three or four tracks on the Strummer 'Generations' bootleg, I cannot comment on the source of the recordings:
Dirty old town
The sick bed...
If I should fall from the grace
Turkish song of the dammed

I made that bootleg. They're from the popular bootlegs, SF probably. Not even the best available source, I'd bet. I made it 6 years ago, when it was a lot harder to track source lineage and bitrate and whatnot. I'd go to dimeadozen to find lossless versions of those shows.

Hey Mr. Chevron - any word on this? Are the tapes usable? Not trying to be a gimme gimme fanboy about this, but I'm wondering if it's releasable. This year would be the year to do it, I'd think, since it's the 10th anniversary of Joe's death and there's talks of a book and solo boxset in the works, and it'd fit in nicely with the marketing blitz.

Ah yes, the tapes are more than usable, but I can locate no great enthusiasm for the project among my colleagues and we do, after all, have our own live album/DVD to record this year. Pogues tend to steer clear of marketing blitzes but I'd like to see the Pogues/Strummer live album available someday.

[DrugProwlingWolf]

Ah. Shame there's little interest. The bootlegs for those shows suggest a fantastic live album. Joe was really into those shows, or at least it sounds that way as a listener.

P.S. You doing one or two nights for the live DVD? It seems like Shane is more prone to fuck ups when the pressure is on.

I should note there was also an RTE television broadcast which included Strummer & the Pogues, from the earlier tour when he was subbing for Mr. Chevron. Hold on...

Joe wasn't subbing for me at that point, a fact illustrated by the presence of both of us in the axe section.

Er, ah, quite so . How did this come about, then?

We got to choose our guests for the show. We chose our mates.

Listened to an audience recording of the gig with Joe at Cambridge Corn Exchange Nov 91 (one I was at, actually) in the car today. Man, I would love to hear a soundboard recording of 'Straight To Hell' from that tour - you did an awesome version of it with Joe.
