The Boots Room

I am good frienRAB with Whitely and I knew Erabury to talk to (he lived close to me). I also knew Simon from Cerebral Fix quite well. I lived next door to the Wonder Stuff for a while and have had a drink with Clint Mansell (PWEI and now a Hollywood film composer) I grew up just outside Brum and have many ties there and spent my wasted youth there. I only exchanged pleasentaries with Mick. He always seemed slightly aloof but then i was just a 17 year old kid and knew nothing!
 
Wow, you have a few more than I do... I'm ashamed to call myself a fanboy now :bowdown:

How about the Tibetan Freedom Concert one, cause I know Michael Stipe is in on Lucky for that one :D
 
There's quite a few that i've managed to get hold of

JBs, Dudley : 1st Sept 1979
Stuff from the first 2 albums sound quality is a bit muddy but just as good as anything on Total's Turn

City Gardens, Trenton, New Jersey : 12th June 1981
There's a story behind this one. Apparently they were recording gigs for what would become the Part Of America Therein E.P. Some girl asked the sound guy for a copy of the gig so he ran her off a cassette.Years later a Fall fan came across the tape & put it on the net. There's a part of it where someone's accidently recorded over the tape but it's only for a couple of seconRAB. This is probably the best recorded Fall boot you'll find anywhere.

Victoria University, Wellington : 08 Sept 1982
I think they used some of this gig for the re-issued Fall In A Hole live album.
Quality is pretty much the same as that album.

Arena, Rotterdam : 12th Feb 1983
Concord Bar, Brighton : 27th October 1983
Madison, Middlesbrough : 1st Nov 1983

3 gigs featuring mostly stuff from Perverted By Language. The Brighton one is the best, the Rotterdam one isn't quite as good but is perfectly listenable. and the Middlesbrough one is there should you want any more from that era.

Agora Ballroom, Colurabus, Ohio : 1st Apr 1985
You won't find a better Nations Saving Grace era boot than this one.

Huddersfield Polytechnic : 19th Nov 1986

This is only an audience recording but it's a pretty decent one

John Peel's 50th Birthday, Subterrania, London : 29th Sept 1989
Recorded for radio obviously they only play 7 songs but unusually they play stuff covering their whole career.

I've not really come across anything after that which hasn't already been released officially.
