Hmm. For stuff pre-Boxer I would check out both Black Sessions and the sessions they did for Spin. The Spin session is amazing and my personal favourite rarity. For live session promoting Boxer then the White sessions (black sessions without a studio audience) and the show from the 9:30 club are both fantastic. I think all of these have been posted previously but if not just ask for a re-post and either me or someone else will put em back up.
Hope this helps!

I'm quite taken by the live version of 90-Mile Water Wall and the Daytrotter Session - Lucky You especially.

Wow. Thanks. That's a nice start.

Awesome stuff! Thank you!

Does anyone have the ability to post both Spin sessions (from 2005ish and 2007 I think)? I am having trouble with the 2005 set linked on this page, and I really want to hear them. Thanks!

BTW, I highly recommend the Bonnaroo show -- it was a really great show with a lot of energy.

hey...if anyone is interested....
I have the new Band Of Horse album "Cease To Begin". Its pretty amazing and if anyone would like it..just send me a message and i'll put it up.. cool.

mistakenforfamous

Mistakenforfamous, you're my new best friend. Thanks!

O.K. I Put up the new Band Of Horses album "Cease To Begin" over on the "Unrelated Sounds" board, because the last time i put up anything non National related over here, some people got pissy with me for not keeping the board "Clean" or something gay like that. so if you want Cease To Begin, just go over there for it. I hope you all enjoy it.
forever a board dirtier,
Mistakenforfamous.

Thank You so much! I have just recently discovered this amazing band, the rarities are a nice addition.

anyone have any copy of the newest Nat'l live song that they just started doing?

I just uploaded these songs for a friend so might as well add the links here:


Robyn De Sade - http://rs212.rapidshare.com/files/54886226...byn_de_Sade.mp2

High Beams - http://rapidshare.com/files/54887142/thena..._beams.mp3.html

No Professionals - http://rapidshare.com/files/54887621/08_No...ionals.mp2.html

yeaah... i have those too.... i found "Robyn... and "High Beams" particularly crappy.........but i like "No Professionals". i also would like that new song theyve been fiddling with live...... i hear its pretty cool.
but still...the ultimate acquisition for me would be the "Mission On The Hill" cover they did at the Springsteen tribute to Nebraska. Thats insane....but i dont think there's a recorded version out there....at that same show they played with The Boss himself, also, covering a Woody Guthrie song.
i would kill for both of them.

sorry....i meant Mansion on the hill...im retarded today.
