\"\"<\/a>After my tape deck crapped out in 1997, I was stuck listening to either the radio or full albums in whatever order the artist intended. That all changed in 2001, when the new-fangled MP3 technology got combined with my new CD burner.<\/p>\n

In addition to the\u00a0occasional\u00a0series of CDs I had burned in order to keep abreast of new music, I had created a bunch of genre-specific mixes that could be used both in the car and at the gym. This week we will take a look at the first disc covering the\u00a0world of live music. \u00a0One of the best things about the confluence of music and the internet in the early 21st century was the availability of bootleg live performances that, at one time, would have been available only to serious collectors or the lucky few to attend the concerts. \u00a0In fact, there was so much of it that this was the only collection to go beyond 2 discs. \u00a0So, without further ado, \u00a0I bring you Live Music, volume 1.<\/p>\n

Tesla – Signs<\/p>\n

Tesla’s biggest hit was this acoustic cover of the Five Man Electrical Band hit from 1971.<\/p>\n

Garbage – When I Grow Up<\/p>\n

I’m assuming the live version on this disc is from the 2005 show at Metro that I attended. \u00a0The only reason I’m not sure is that I have so many Garbage bootlegs, it’s hard to be sure.<\/p>\n

iTunes stats:\u00a06 plays, most recently on 1\/6\/2011<\/p>\n

Stone Temple Pilots – Dancing Days<\/p>\n

An acoustic version of their Led Zepplin cover, which I think may be from the Howard Stern show.<\/p>\n

This live version was performed locally at the Vic and broadcast on WXRT.<\/p>\n
