Crime & the City Solution - Zivi v Ljubljani

Same story as yesterday, a Birthday Party offshoot performing live in Ljubljana during the latter part of the Eighties - this time, featuring Mick Harvey, and having featured Rowland S. Howard (he was out before this show). This show was recorded on September 16th 1988 if the Internet is to be trusted, the cassette rip is rather nice sounding (although there really is no need for the FLAC format I found and kept it in, because some people prefer hissy unlistenable bootlegs to be preserved in 10 MB-a-minute formats), so enjoy.

Track listing:

1. All Must Be Love (5:42)
2. The Greater Head (4:24)
3. On Every Train (3:37)
4. Angel (6:09)
5. Stone (4:20)
6. New World (4:43)
7. Hunter (2:45)
8. Dangling Man (4:47)
9. Encore (3:49)

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Zivi v Ljubljani

Here is another one from the FV Music edition of "official bootlegs", featuring Nick Cave during the "Kicking Against the Pricks" tour. The sound quality is mostly rather good, although "Train Long Suffering" and "Wanted Man" unfortunately sound like shit for the most part due to a chewed source tape - I hope modern cassette enthusiasts will appreciate this "warm analogue sound".

Track listing:

1. I'm Gonna Kill That Woman (3:47)
2. Your Funeral, My Trial (4:11)
3. Long Time Man (5:26)
4. Train Long Suffering (3:53)
5. Wanted Man (5:33)
6. The Singer (3:37)
7. All Tomorrow's Parties (5:28)
8. Muddy Water (4:52)
9. I'm Gonna Kill That Woman (dif. source) (3:52)
10. Long Time Man (dif. source) (5:18)
11. All Tomorrow's Parties (dif. source) (5:28)
12. The Singer (dif. source) (3:42)

UK Subs - Live in Ljubljana 1986

Here's another one from the "Vsi zivi" series, sadly with not as great of a sound as the first one. I believe the original tape sounded much better, but the rip probably came from a tenth-generation copy; if anyone who owns a better sounding copy reads this, you know where to find me. Check this out: the Subs were already a 10 years old band when this was recorded. Twenty-five years later, they're still THE SHIT, at least live (not "shit", "the shit"!). Respect.

Pic stolen from this great blog (at least if you can read Croatian).

Sonic Youth - Live in Slovenia 1985 and 1987

This is an "official bootleg" tape released by the great Slovenian label FV Music, part of their "Vsi zivi" cassette series which also featured concerts held in Slovenia by bands such as Nomeansno, Swans, Pere Ubu, UK Subs and a few others. I hope I'll manage to complete the whole series one day; this is the first installment I got a hold of. The first five songs are from a 1985 show in Sentvid and the remaining seven from the one held in Ljubljana in 1987. The sound is quite good and so are the performances - if you're a fan you should like this.

Track listing:

1. Halloween (5:11)
2. Brother James (3:06)
3. Kill Yr. Idols (2:32)
4. Into the Groovey (Madonna) (2:23)
5. I Love Her All the Time (6:35)
6. Schizophrenia (4:20)
7. Expressway to Yr. Skull (5:54)
