Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

"Dude loves his cars"

And his dogs.
A friend of mine had a 1976 bootleg from Osaka, I think - I remember it being totally killer, do you maybe have something like that too? :)

yeah the osaka 1976 show was one of the first neil bootlegs i ever heard, i think -- a friend bought it on tape at some random pasadena record store. it's incredible -- that whole 1976 Japanese tour is one of the best Neil Young/Crazy Horse period. There'll definitely be some of that on the blog soon.

there's a live version with the Bluenotes, but it sounds essentially the same -- almost like they recorded it on the same day! i made a neil young in the 80s bootleg mix a while back with that, the 20-minute crime in the city, interstate and a bunch of other interesting stuff. maybe i'll post that as the next neil installment.

man i keep wishing that some awesome version done by him and crazy horse around ragged glory or something like that will surface

would love to hear that 80s stuff though.

listening to the george harrison now, really nice!

this blog rules.

thx dude, glad you're liking it. i'm having a good time digging through all this stuff.

Thanks, Tyler!

Adding in again. Some mighty fine stuff here.

aw, thanks. more Television demos up now. The "Little Johnny Jewel" sessions. This Television thing is becoming kind of epic. I just have a lot of it.

lovin this feelies

sooooo good

it's so fast!

for such a mild-mannered looking band, they're actually kind of ferocious. i mean, i hear about how intense and nuts bands like sonic youth and husker du and big black were in the 80s, but these recordings of the feelies are just as intense, if not moreso.

my foot tapping is driving my roommate crazy i think

crazy

rhythm

yet more Television -- a tasty set from early 1976.

a double shot of Television at the end of 1976 is up now. This is one of the must-haves.

yuk!!!

can't wait to hear this.

even if yr not downloading, it's worth a look just for the CBGB ad posted. Feelies, John Cale, Television, Talking Heads all in the span of a couple weeks. Twas a hot time on the Bowery.

another late 1976 Television show up now ...

"Feelies, John Cale, Television, Talking Heads all in the span of a couple weeks"

its disgusting! :)

in tiny print: "Ramones canceled."

and that must've been one of the Feelies first gigs, too. I think they formed in 1976.

Television were really channeling VU in that '75 version of Breaking in my heart.

Not that Kingdom Come is bad.

yeah, "Breakin In My Heart" is definitely their version of the "Sister Ray"/"Roadrunner" riff there. Love that recording so much ...

Weird to know that most of the best Verlaine's songs were already written before their 1st album.

right? the bulk of the second album was already written in 75 ... he had a pretty productive period. i like Verlaine live in the 80s, but mainly for the guitar playing/band interplay. He definitely didn't write that many classic songs after Television called it quits.

so we've finally made it to 1977 with this Television overview. I've posted one of the weirder shows I've got: Television opening for ... Peter Gabriel.

now up, Television plays Manchester, spring of 1977 ...

annnnd another Television set from 1977 -- a thoroughly enjoyable all requests show played deep in the heart of Westchester County.

so here's the last Television post for the time being -- sorry, got a little "carried away" haha. The band's final show at the Bottom Line in NYC, summer of 1978. Will probably come back to Television at some point, but for the time being this is probably plenty of versions of Marquee Moon. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

thanks, man! I have only begun to listen to these, but the Portland show is deeply great so I'm expecting awesomeness from the rest too!

since the blog is all about bootlegs, i decided to post a link to a bootleg of my own band's show last month ... don't judge too harshly! we were drunk.

new post in honor of new Dylan album up now -- Bob live in 2000. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

ok, more Dylan -- this time, outtakes from the New Morning sessions. Some really great stuff here.

Dance remixes, the blooze, Crazy Horse and more! It's Neil Young in the 1980s, up now!

ah sweet DLing the 80s stuff right now....although i would like to say that perhaps "hippie dream" off landing on water might have been a good pick...i sort of like that record

wow the massive breakdown on that ghost riders in the sky song is o_O!

i sort of like Landing On Water too, maybe I'm harsh on it. "hippie dream", "pressure" ... yeah, that "grey riders" song is nuts! that is sort of a great band there.

to celebrate two months of blogging, I posted ... more Neil Young. Part 2 of our exploration of the strange days known as the 1980s. Even better than the first installment!

yeah I watched that SNL thing twice this afternoon after reading your blog blurb, fuck, that is an aggressive performance!

i like how none of them ever stand fully erect

yeah that is an intense caveman band

like Neil seems surprised by how the performance has worked out

goddamn best guitar tone ever

just goes to show that it is possible to sound incredible on SNL ... if you're Neil Young, that is.

Soft Boys live in New Jersey 1980 up now! This one is so good. Best band ever.

2023 bootleg roundup! https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/737147848129495040/the-year-in-bootlegs

some crucial re-ups in there ...

Cool.

nice!
