This is a show from the final XTC tour (this concert was broadcast on FM radio), from a gig at L'Ancienne Belgique, Brussels, Belgium, back on the 7th March 1982.
The last major hit of XTC's touring phase was "Senses Working Overtime," the first single from their double album English Settlement and a top 10 hit in 1982.
At the peak of their popularity, the band embarked on a major tour, but Andy Partridge suffered a mental breakdown on stage during one of the first concerts of the tour in Paris on March 18th, 1982. The European and British dates were cancelled and after completing only one show in San Diego the whole US leg was also abandoned.

From Wikipedia: XTC's Andy Partridge's breakdown, which manifested itself as uncontrollable stage fright, was reportedly precipitated by his wife throwing away his supply of Valium. According to the band's biography, Andy had become dependent upon the drug after it was prescribed to him as a teenager during his parents' divorce. He reportedly was never withdrawn from the drug and became dependent on it. Concerned about her husband's dependence on the drug, Partridge's wife threw his tablets away — without seeking medical advice — just before the Paris concert.
Andy Partridge particularly needed the medication to cope with the grinding monotony of concert touring, which he had always hated, but had endured for the good of the band. As a result, when deprived of the medication Partridge suffered anxiety attacks of such severity whilst touring that he was soon forced to withdraw permanently. Since then, XTC have been exclusively a studio band, although they have given occasional live-to-air performances from radio stations, and have made a handful of TV appearances as well. (XTC ceased in 2005, however expanded CD reissues are planned for this year).

In 1986 Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke decided to re team for a new project. Their label, Atlantic Records , however, insisted they resume the Bad Company name. But Paul Rodgers was already engaged with a new super group called The Firm.
So the remaining two members hired ex-Ted Nugent vocalist Brian Howe as the new lead singer, Steven Price as the new bass player and Greg Dechert (ex-Uriah Heep) on keyboards. Brian Howe's vocal style brought more of a pop-rock sound to the band, as opposed to Paul Rodgers' more bluesy style.
Over a six -year span from 1986 to 1992, this version of the band released four albums including Fame and Fortune, Dangerous Age, the platinum selling Holy Water and Here Comes Trouble.
The final studio album of the Brian Howe era, 1992's Here Comes Trouble, featured the Top 40 hit 'How About That', and 'This Could Be The One' (number 87). The album went Gold but the formula was growing stale. Before touring in support of Here Comes Trouble, the band added ex-Foreigner, Roxy Music and Small Faces bassist Rick Wills and Dave Colwell, a protégé of Ralphs, was now a full-time member.
This recording is from a performance at the Electric Ladyland studios in 1992 with a small audience, enjoying a show that was undertaken for FM broadcast and promotional purposes.

1. How About That 2. Holy Water 3. Rock & Roll Fantasy 4. Ready For Love 5. If You Needed Somebody 6. Here Comes Trouble 7. Shooting Star 8. Bad Company 9. This Could Be The Night 10. Good Lovin' Gone Bad 11. Can't Get Enough 12. Take This Town 13. Movin' On 14. Feel Like Makin' Love
The actual date of this show seems to have been lost over time however the middle of December 1992 seems quite likely. This recording has had band promos and any other material edited out and leaves just the actual live performance from Bad Company.
Having seen Bad Company perform one of their first ever gigs in Guildford, England back in 1973 or early 1974 (OK the memory ain't perfect), this recording sounds very different, from what was a blues driven band that still drew parallels with Free. Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke performed together again during the summer of 2009, playing ten shows throughout the United States. During November 2009, it was announced that the original remaining line-up will play eight exclusive UK dates in April 2010.

I was not sure quite what to make of Peasant (Damien DeRose) when I was first sent a song of his last year, for whatever reason something was missing for me, and however much this site is about supporting new artists and music, liking what you hear has to be a key part of any endorsement.
OK so you have guessed what happened next, but I will state it anyway, was I surprised and delighted when I received a copy of his forthcoming album!
His record companies promo actually states "While the last album gave many people their first taste of Peasant, in the eyes of the moniker’s human form, Damien DeRose, this was a mere appetizer to what would soon come to fruition". So that's what happened, it turns out I was not to keen on the appetizer, but I have to say the second course 'Shady Retreat' is absolutely delightful.
Shady Retreat is available via Paper Garden Records on March 2nd, 2010 in North America and April 5th in Europe.
Other reviews that I can only agree with, put the case for giving Peasant a good long listen...
“What becomes so beautifully clear in listening to DeRose sing – in that clear mountain stream, weepy-voiced way of his – is that none of his characters and none of us are ever rid of any of the people that we’ve shared the dark or a kiss with.”-Daytrotter
“Though his music is unassuming and acoustic, when armed with a guitar, DeRose makes music that beckons and calls out, as if demanding to be heard. DeRose also has a secret weapon: a voice that seems to expose his very soul.” – NPR Second Stage “DeRose’s vocals float above acoustic guitar melodies, evoking the lyrical eloquence and delicate arrangements of Rogue Wave and the late Elliott Smith.” – Magnet Magazine
OK the second offering this time round is for a band previously mentioned on Beehive Candy Emanuel and The Fear who, with less than a year under their belt since the initial self-titled EP release, Emanuel and the Fear have been building their profile and reputation rapidly, indeed some times the hype is worthy and in their case I tend to agree.
Now armed with a brand new 18-song album, Emanuel and the Fear are raising the bar yet again with 'Listen'. To be released in North America on March 9th and in Europe on March 22nd with Spring and Summer tour plans both domestic and abroad, not to mention playing two of NYC’s best venues (Music Hall of Williamsburg and Gramercy Theatre) in February and March, Emanuel and the Fear will be bringing their music and full live experience to listeners across the globe, so keep any eye out for them! Emanuel and the Fear has sequestered themselves for the better part of 2009 to record and build into its first full length master-piece titled 'Listen' at Ishlab Music Studios (Jet, Kudu, Dead Perez). The album was mixed by Patrick Dillett (David Byrne, They Might Be Giants, Mary J Blige) and Mastered by Doug Van Sloun at Focus Mastering (Bright Eyes, Cursive, The Faint, Tokyo Police Club).
The Hush Now have managed to gain a lot of attention in recent months and not surprising with reviews like this:
“...a little Stone Roses, a dash of Guided By Voices, a smidgen of Flaming Lips and a dose of Yo La Tengo; This is superior indie pop from a band well worth keeping a very close eye and ear on.” – UK Music Review
Oh and while we are all name dropping you can add in "a unique, ivy league, indie-pop-rock sound reminiscent of early Weezer and Wilco with the muscle of shoegaze’ s glory days mixed in".
Well OK lets give the guys a break as they have also achieved coverage from outlets such as the UK Telegraph, Magnet, The Devil Wears Tuna, Boston Phoenix, Green Shoelace, and My Crazy Music Blog, among countless others. What does Beehive Candy think? Yep we have happily jumped on the hype band wagon, and think you should check these guys out pretty sharpish.
The first single from their forthcoming album 'Constellations', 'Hoping and Waiting', has been circulating the web since it’s release in December 2009, and now it’s time for the second single 'Contrails'
I understand that Constellations will be offered to the public as a free digital download upon it’s release on the 16th February 2010 (The Hush Now's debut is also available for free download at their official Myspace page).
Paul Burch like most musicians is looking for angle to encourage the sale of his recordings, and any musician who has a photo of himself alongside Laura Cantrell and the late John Peel on his website is more or less guaranteed to gain the interest of Beehive Candy.
On March 1st (2010) Paul Burch & WPA Ballclub will begin the streaming and sale of an A side and B side single every month throughout the rest of the year.
For a one-time fee of only $5 fans can join the Paul Burch Record Club which will allow them to subscribe to the entire year-long series.
For $10, in addition to receiving all 20 tracks in mp3 form, Paul Burch Record Club members will receive, at the end of the year, a CD of the singles with custom artwork. An additional $15 level will get fans all the mp3s, a CD at the end of the year, and a personalized thank-you note from Paul!
Checkout his website that is currently streaming some of his music HERE, and finally for those not familiar with Paul here is some background information (and I quote):
Paul Burch, a writer of unmistakably modern but instantly classic American songs, arrived in Nashville in the early 90's and helped spark the honky tonk revival in downtown Nashville with marathon performances at legendary Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. Paul's 7th album Still Your Man was released to critical claim in 2009 and features his group the WPA Ballclub along with Tim O'Brien and Kelly Hogan. Paul Burch's ear for producing and arranging has made him a natural collaborator to performers from every kind of genre including Dr. Ralph Stanley, Vic Chesnutt, Mark Knopfler, Lambchop, the Mekons, Beverly Knight, and the Grammy nominated comeback by legend Charlie Louvin. Burch also served as music consultant to the PBS documentary “The Appalachians" and wrote a soundtrack to Tony Earley's debut novel and NY Times bestseller "Jim the Boy".
This is John Hiatt performing a solo acoustic set at the Take Root Festival in Oosterpoort, Groningen, Holland back on the 4th October 2008. The material is a mixture of songs from across the years, along with a few from his current album of the time 'Same Old Man'.
Some artists have the ability to grab my attention from the first chord and in this case the power, passion, energy and full sound just adds to the occasion.
The radio host mentioned that John was flown in especially for this gig, having performed in North America throughout the summer promoting the album. He has also worked alongside Lyle Lovett on a number of occasions since 2008 and is currently touring Europe performing undertaking both solo and joint gigs with Lyle.

Beehive Candy plans to continue to re-upload any missing bootleg concert files, as and when we can, after they are reported, using new file hosts.
The only exception to this is, when we receive formal notification from the artist or their genuine representatives, or if the web sheriff or similar requests us to withdraw the material.
Thank you to everyone who contributes material to this site both directly and through other forums, it is always appreciated.
Some very pleasant emails, and encouraging comments after postings, (just keep them coming), have made re-uploading deleted files seem much less tedious (see what a little gentle encouragement can do!).
Missing Files Reported & Awaiting Replacement: None outstanding as of Monday 1st February 2010.
If there are any additional files missing, that you would like made available again, just leave a comment below this article(and only this article), or email the Beehive at our usual highly spammed address.
Beehive Candy supports Radio Caroline - the legendary former offshore free radio station, that is now available world wide HERE.
The Foo Fighters are another one of those bands that have been around for a lot longer than it seems (for me anyway). Formed in 1995 by Dave Grohl originally as a one-man project after the dissolution of his previous band, Nirvana the Foo Fighters have of course gone on to stadium filling, Grammy award winning super group status.
What would have been if Dave Grohl had accepted a permanent position as the drummer in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers back in 1994 (he very nearly did). This is The Foo Fighters live at the Reading Festival (England) back on the 24th August 2002, and the recording comes with an additional four songs performed by the band on BBC TV's 'Later With Jools Holland' from November 2002.

I have to admit I was about ten years late in 'discovering' Andrew Bird. It was only a couple of years ago that I first gave his music a listen and I have been kicking myself ever since (OK not literally), however the back catalogue has been fun to say the least.
Back in the late 90's the music was quite different to today's indie rock and folk direction, with an element of old time swing and harmonies.
Taking on the role of bandleader, Andrew Bird released Thrills on Rykodisc in 1997 with his group Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, shortly followed by second album Oh! The Grandeur in 1998. Both albums were heavily influenced by traditional folk, pre-war jazz, and swing, with Andrew Bird relying on the violin as his primary musical instrument, as well as providing vocals along with his trademark verbose lyrics. The Bowl of Fire featured musicians from Andrew Bird's home town of Chicago, including Kevin O'Donnell, Nora O'Connor, Andy Hopkins, Jimmy Sutton, Colin Bunn, and Ryan Hembrey. During this period Andrew Bird was also a member of the jazz group Kevin O'Donnells Quality Six, for which he was the lead singer and violinist.

Tracks 1 to 8 were performed at Mad City Live, in Madison, WI, and Tracks 9 to 14 are from a performance at the Mercury Theater, Chicago, IL. As regards dates the Mad City gig was 1st January 1998. The latter is unknown however informed opinion says that May 1998 is most likely correct for the Mercury Theatre.

This is a wonderful four song set from 'Soul Men' Sam and Dave. Although this is hardly an exclusive to Beehive Candy it is a must have for any soul music fan and worthy of a share. The audio quality is incredible considering the age of the recording.
The following from wikipedia puts the whole show in context: Sam & Dave's live act earned them the nickname "Double Dynamite". Phil Walden, Otis Redding's manager, said "I think Sam and Dave will probably stand the test of time as being the best live act that there ever was.
Those guys were absolutely unbelievable. Every night they were awesome." An October 1968 Time article reads: "Of all the R & B cats, nobody steams up a place like Sam & Dave ... weaving and dancing (while singing!), they gyrate through enough acrobatics to wear out more than 100 costumes per year." Jerri Hershey described in Nowhere to Run: They carried red suits, white suits, three piece lime green suits, all with matching patent boots and coordinated silk hankies woefully inadequate to absorb a soul man's nightly outpourings. Both Sam & Dave talk a lot about sweat. To Dave, its proof that he's worked for his pay. For Sam its essential, almost mystical. He says he can't work without it. "Unless my body reaches a certain temperature, starts to liquify, I just don't feel right without it." Wayne Jackson said Sam & Dave left puddles of sweat onstage by the end of a performance.
In March 1967, Sam and Dave were co-headliners for the Stax/Volt Revue in Europe, which included Booker T & the MGs, The Mar-Keys, Eddie Floyd, Carla Thomas, Arthur Conley and headliner Otis Redding. For Sam & Dave, it was their first time in Europe, largely to all-white audiences, sometimes up to 2,000 people. Although Redding headlined the tour, many agreed Sam & Dave stole the show on many nights. According to Redding's and Sam & Dave's manager Phil Walden, Redding refused to be booked on the same bill with Sam & Dave again, not wanting to have to follow their explosive act. A live version of Sam and Dave's Double Dynamite LP track "Soothe Me" was recorded in Paris during the '67 tour. Released as a single in mid-1967, it continued Sam & Dave's string of top 20 U.S. R&B hits and was their first in the UK Top 40.

Band Line Up:
Sam (Moore) Dave (Prater) Booker T & The MG's The Markeys Horns
When Sam & Dave arrived at Stax, they worked with producer & engineer Jim Stewart and songwriters including the MGs' guitarist Steve Cropper, who wrote or co-wrote four of their first eight recordings. The duo then moved to relative newcomer writers and producers Isaac Hayes and David Porter. Hayes and Porter wrote and produced the duo's biggest hits (although they did not receive production credits until the Soul Men LP and singles). According to Moore and Prater, they also greatly influenced the duo's singing style, and had them shift their recording style from the style of their Roulette records to a more live, more energetic gospel, call-and-response feel and beat driven soul style the group is known for today.
Sam & Dave's Stax records also benefited from the musicians and engineering at Stax. The Stax house band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, and the Stax horn section, the Mar-Keys had world-class musicians who co-wrote (often without credit) and contributed to recordings—the same musicians who recorded with Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Carla Thomas and other soul artists. Sam & Dave's Stax recordings through 1967 were engineered by Stax founder Jim Stewart, who created the Memphis Sound by recording live in a single take. Stewart is credited for instrumental mixes that allowed for instrumental separation and the distinct contribution of each instrument to the overall feel of the song. Hayes and Porter are in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, The Mar-Keys are in the Musicians Hall of Fame, and Booker T. & the MG's, Jim Stewart, Isaac Hayes and Sam & Dave are all in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

This is the original line up of Renaissance live in concert at Ludlow Garage, Cincinnati, USA, on the 25th February 1970.
The band were formed in January 1969 by former Yardbirds members Keith Relf and Jim McCarty . In February 1970, they embarked on a North American tour, but this month-long trek proved a mitigated success, as because of their Yardbirds credentials they found themselves paired with bands like The Kinks and their new classically-oriented direction didn't always go down well with audiences.
Line up changes started not long after this tour and eventually left only Jane Relf and John Hawken from the original line up.
There are however some strong musical parallels that can be heard in this set that clearly continued to develop within the second incarnation of the band that would see Annie Haslam take over on vocals by 1971.

Sound Quality: Highly listenable (some tape hiss and low audio levels) mp3@160kbps
Genre: Progressive rock, folk rock.

Comments: I came across this recording by chance, however unfortunately there were not any details to accompany the recording apart from the line up and track listing. I have put soundboard as the audio is in my opinion to clear for audience and unlikely to have been FM with all the stops and gaps in the performance.

We start off our third round up of new and nearly new music for January with the superb Swedish indie band Sambassadeur.
With two albums behind them, the indie pop artists have transformed their sound with the third album European (Due out Feb 23rd on Labrador Records).
Receiving a considerable amount of praise in the past through their 'DIY' approach, Sambassadeur are able to express further growth on their latest release. With the help of producer Mattias Glavå, European maintains the bands personal style, with the addition of a classic and orchestrated sound.
OK regulars to Beehive Candy know our of love for the Swedish music scene and in our opinion these folk are another fine example of why we get rather carried away as soon as you mention Sweden & music in the same breath.
Since forming in 2003, Sambassadeur was one of the home recording artists that led to an explosive Swedish pop movement. As the years passed, Sambassadeur furthered their success through their second album Migration, leading to touring internationally. The quartet awed audiences throughout various countries including Spain, the UK, Austria, Germany, and Denmark, with offers continuing to come.Sambassadeur’s sound has evolved with each release, while their older recordings had a more aggressive sound, reminiscent of Jesus and Mary Chain, their music now conjures reminders of bands like Camera Obscura and Belle & Sebastian. European is the album that demonstrates the true talent of Sambassadeur. The foursome, along with the addition of a string quartet, three drummers, a saxophone player, clarinetist, and more, has created a unique style that will be sure to gain fans of all music tastes across the world.
From Dundee, Scotland, The Law have received considerable attention and recognition in the UK and are about to take their anthemic rock to the USA.
The young quartet delivers triumphant melodies with aggressive arena-scale rock that brings to mind a concoction of Queens of the Stone Age, The Libertines, and the White Stripes. The Law’s strong debut album, A Measure Of Wealth, was recorded at Sawmills Studios (the birthplace of Oasis’ Definitely Maybe) with producer Stan Kybert (Paul Weller, Massive Attack), and released in the United Kingdom last year on the band’s very own label Local Boy Records. A Measure Of Wealth will be released in North America in May, 2010.
The Law’s subversive anthems and hot-blooded performances have assaulted the UK press and commanded widespread support from XFM and BBC Music. Edith Bowman of BBC Radio 1 hails The Law as “Incredible, good rock n roll”, while NME proclaims that “The Law are Dundee’s new hope”.
Finally and in keeping with Beehive Candy's obsession with different musical styles, genres, or whatever (provided we like it), we have My Son The Hurricane.
The promo said: With their roots deeply planted in the big brass sounds of New Orleans, and an indie spirit that refuses to be pigeonholed or defined, Ontario’s My Son The Hurricane is ready to hit the road with their own original 11-piece take on brass, and a debut album that will blow away your pre-conceived notions of the genre.
Combining catchy horn lines and a thumping, driving bass with uniquely phrased, hip-hop inspired vocals that drive the album, My Son The Hurricane will appeal to Hip-Hop and Indie fans alike, while paying homage to the big brass bands that came before them.
Well that was enough to gain our attention and as we are in a cut and paste mood they also added: Celebratory and fun, but balanced by well thought-out, solid musicianship, CHECK THE BAROMETER is party music at its best. With strongly crafted grooves and driving vocals unifying the album, My Son the Hurricane’s debut release is a piece of art that works best when listened to from start to finish.
A perfect introduction to the band and to their unique approach to brass, listeners will not want to miss them in a live setting. Transformed by the audience and by the energy in the room, My Son The Hurricane puts on a live show that will captivate and excite, and always leave you wanting more. With tour dates in Ontario scheduled throughout April, don’t miss your chance to see how this band works live, pushing the envelope a bit more with each performance.
As it happens, having given this a play through, I fear my car stereo will be booming out some eleven piece brass arrangements real soon.
Beehive Candy will remove any live concert, demo, rarities and similar material permanently if the artist or their official representatives request this site to do so. We are sharing without any charge bootlegs and the like whilst promoting purchase of the artists commercially released material. All live or demo performances shared, are to our knowledge after checking not commercially available. This site provides links to bonafide websites to enable purchase of all featured artists merchandise (either CD, mp3 or similar purchase via legitimate stores). Individual MP3 tracks are provided in conjunction with genuine and official music promoters and are provided as part of our key strategy of helping artists to reach a wider audience. Again we will withdraw any promotion upon request. Our key goal in sharing non commercial releases in moderation and free of charge, is to be part of the solution to end profit orientated piracy through the illegal sale of bootlegs and the like.

This is a show from the final XTC tour (this concert was broadcast on FM radio), from a gig at L'Ancienne Belgique, Brussels, Belgium, back on the 7th March 1982.
