The Monday Set: Bear In Heaven – Katowice – 8/8/10
I was a day behind in getting this "Monday Set" posted, but hopefully it was worth the wait. Here's a fantastic live Bear In Heaven recording that I traded for last year. It was the first date of their fall/winter tour which spanned nearly four months (More...)
The Monday Set: Bauhaus – Wiesbaden – 11/28/81
For 30 plus (yeah 30!) years, Peter Murphy has been one of the most captivating front-men in show business. I recently took my wife to her first Peter Murphy concert and even though she knew next to nothing about his solo work short of "Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem" she walked away even more captivated by the performance than I did (more...)
The Wednesday Set: LCD Soundsystem – New York – 3/28/11 (Set 3)
So this was the opening night of the much-hyped "farewell" concert series for LCD Soundsystem. After the villainous triple threat of corporate America, scalpers, and free market capitalism hijacked the ticket sale for the Madison Square Garden show, snatching up all the tickets (more...)

The Monday Set: Joy Division – Leeds – 9/8/79
TSOI is finally back! And to correspond with Peter Hook's new release today we're posting a vintage Joy Division show to hopefully cleanse the palate. This audience recording was originally released as the bootleg "All God's Angels Beware" which combined this show with the July 27th, 1979 Blackpool gig (more...)
The Monday Set: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart – New Orleans – 4/7/11
I had been wanting to catch Brooklyn’s Pains of Being Pure at Heart ever since their debut album came out, but I missed them the one time they came through Louisiana a few years ago. Thanks to One Eyed Jacks’ regular ’80′s show being scheduled for Thursday night, POBPAH (if I can coin an acronym) had to play an early set (more...)
The Monday Set: Twin Shadow – New Orleans – 4/7/2011
Twin Shadow opened up for fellow Brooklyners Pains of Being Pure at Heart on their current national tour. I have to admit I didn’t know much about these guys, and what there is online tends to emphasize the role of singer-guitarist George Lewis, Jr. But the crowd was totally into them and were dancing up a storm (more...)
The Monday Set: Raphael Saadiq – Los Angeles – 3/23/11
I heard about a special Raphael Saadiq “American Express Card Holders Only” BS show that was going on at the Grammy Museum the day tickets were going on sale. Trying my luck, I busted out my corporate card (the only AmEx I have) and prayed to the Ticketmaster gods I would be one of the chose ones. As luck, and a $19 service fee would have it, I got through (More...)
The Monday Set: Air Miami – San Francisco – 10/11/94
Here's one of the better live Air Miami recordings I've come across. It was recorded in San Francisco during the '94 Teen Beat Circus tour which also featured a special one-off performance by Cath Carroll (More...)
