Live Boots

Hey, my name is Eric (1st post here!) and I was thinking of rounding up some notable recordings of Joanna's shows.
I think one that everyone should have is the fantastic soundboard recording of Joanna and the band live at the Bottletree just after the release of Ys.

i've uploaded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?d12gjymgnnm

One in particular I hope is out there is a recording of her solo performance in Reykjavik, opening for Bjork, I believe. I would really just love to hear a performance of Only Skin in its entirety, on harp alone. Or on the contrary, live with a full-blown orchestra as in the performance at the Riverbend Centre (of which I only have a recording of Emily).

So, if you have any spectacular or rare recordings of any performances, I'd love for them to be shared here.

I really really really like the concert in the Sydney Opera house, I think you can download parts of that on the link below:

There are definitely boots of her playing at BAM in Brooklyn in New York, 2008. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Full 2 hour set, 1 hourr of Ys with full orchestra then MEM and new tunes with the beginnings of the folk band. I was there.

i can't find a trace of a BAM bootleg. if anyone has it, please post it!

also, does anyone do torrents? i must be some kind of retarded, because i can't figure them out. not even with the most direct help from others. anyway, if this royal albert hall bootleg is worth it, will anyone get it? http://www.torrentz.com/ba5a905735c249c ... d37419dc54

A little while ago I heard about dime on this site, where live recordings are uploaded, all torrents.
http://www.dimeadozen.org/index.php
You have to register first, but it's worth it. This is their list on Joanna Newsom:

Joanna Newsom - Royal Festival Hall - London, UK - 11 May 2010
Joanna Newsom - Royal Festival Hall - London, UK - 12 May 2010
Joanna Newsom - Berlin - 2010-05-17
Joanna Newsom - Washington DC - 2010-03-23 - FLAC
Joanna Newsom - Tokyo, Japan - February 8, 2010
Joanna Newsom - Forum Theatre - Melbourne, Australia - 2010-01-20,
Joanna Newsom - Sydney Opera House, Sydney - NSW - 2010-01-18
Joanna Newsom - Austin, Texas - 27 Oct 07
Joanna Newsom - First Unitarian Church - Philadelphia Nov-16-2006 (video)

Some recordings are poor, and some are awesome (like the video). If you need help on how
to work with torrents, or how to play the songs (they are in FLAC-format) you can send me a PM!

alright, well my joanna bootleg collection is... kind of a perversion for purists. lol i just make "best of" shows pretty much... and any version of a song that is particularly different then recorded versions. OR, just incredible performances, or quality. i'll make a quick list of songs, just let me know if there's any single songs anyone wants. i know some people like whole shows, and flac files, but honestly, i just like my own live mixes. i do it for every band... lol i have like 10 live mars volta mixes haha.

(PS http://sawdustanddiamonds.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=live this link has the church... video show, greenland festival, along with others. good place to start if you don't do torrents...)

OKAY so here's what i normally listen to;

covers and shit:

ca the yowes to the knowes (no idea what show, but i searched for every version i could, and this was, in my opinion, the best)
man's road (only one version that i've found)
little wing (" ")
angel (" ")
ring the living bell (" ")
same old man (" ") [edited a bit i think, cuz the zipper was really loud and annoying if i recall)
three little babes (live at greenland festival)

i also have all those um.. early versions of only skin, and baby birch and such. a few versions of ribbon bows. everything pretty much. tightttttt.

alright, now that covers and junk are out of the way... here are my required shows:

1) GREENLAND FESTIVAL http://www.mediafire.com/?nmm2gly11zm
a bunch of old songs have flute or something on them, and i think it sounds nice...
such good versions of songs in general, and a lot of new songs played SOLO yeah yeah. this version of emily that she says "i just finished writing this one like 3 nights ago" so it's pretty fresh.. i think this is the version of only skin that i uploaded too. there's also sawdust and diamonds :o

2) mm my other MUST have is the show she did a few months ago that was broadcast live on the radio? that version of kingfisher is beyond anything, it is soooooooo goooooood i hardly even listen to the original anymore, im too obsessed with this version. the whole show rules, YEAH YEAH good show, i'm tellin ya. get it.

3) SYDNEY
it's been said, but ill say it again. this version of "have one on me" kicks the ass of every other version i've ever heard. this show is worth it just for this track... and emily. actually, just check out the whole show. do ittttt.

4) that church show, http://sawdustanddiamonds.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=live&action=display&thread=6 i got the actual version back at my parents, from when it first came out, like i downloaded it so that its not in separate videos like this, butttt i dont have it right now unfortunately, maybe someone else can upload it? i also just remembered i have a video at my parents of an old old joanna show; this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu5uB8-IKgQ i got it back in the day, andddddd... hmm maybe ill find it next time im home if no one else has it. it's also a really beautiful show, i recommend it, especially the version of peach plum pear. actually, it deserves spot 5.

5) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu5uB8-IKgQ this show. let me know if no one else has it, and wants it, ill find it next month when i go home :) (PS the audio is nowhere NEAR this muffled on the actual version, the youtube version lost quite a bit of quality)


those are the 4 shows that my best of is mostly made up of. yeahhhhhh check all 4.

thanks babe, you're a darling. i never liked that song 'mans road', though. you should really upload that birmingham show, because i've heard from my friend that it's one of the most beautiful shows she played. it's too bad the youtube upload is awful.

werd. i remember that show as the moment i fell in love with her. i remember her face in peach plum pear "iiiii... WASSSS BLUEEE.... " then stares off into space... i almost snapped haha. and the whole show, just watching her play that harp... i swear, i didnt touch my guitar for like a month after that, i just wrote haha

yeah, good show. ill upload it in about a month or so if no one else has :)

That's from Green Man Festival, 8/21/05. She also Sawdust & Diamonds and solo versions of Emily and Cosmia that night. I don't remember where I originally got the bootleg, but I'm sure you could find it on torrent somewhere.
