As EZ is still dogging me and my mp3s around, I have decided to do a repost of my favorite live tracks posted on The Late Greats. Here are my favorite 22 converts, rips and etc...

I gotta say I think the Madeleine Peyroux live cuts are more enjoyable to me than the studio versions -- I like her guitar playing, and I can hear more emotion in her voice. Those are my favorites so far on TLG.

My own favorite has long been the Patty Griffin, for much of the same reasons as tvk mentions above. Her Kite Song, from the first-and-best mix of the three you provided, is a wonderful example -- more heartfelt, a slight bit more tremolo than the album, despite almost identical instrumentation as the album.

Some folks just plumb sound better live, I guess -- and you can't beat the production quality of a radio show over a bootleg.

first off, thank you for all of the amazing music.

yr posts bring out the best of modern music that you unearth like some holy trinity, a treasure chest of gems and jewels that are pricless in sound.

i have a favor to ask--

is there anyway you could re-post the imogen heap track "hide and seek" there seems to be an error when I try to download it.

muchas gracias,
