I thought it was time to start a live/rarities thread, there's been a lot of different songs posted recently and it to save mulitple threads I've decided to try and keep them all here. This thread should not be used for the downloading of full albums or commercially available songs, you know where to get those! If I'm missing some, when new songs become available or links expire please post on this thread.

Hot.

What an amazing thread. Thanks so much.

By the way, the No Professionals and Robyn de Sade sendspace links are identical and therefore one must be wrong.

This is the real one for Robyn de Sade:

Sorry about the confusion, I'm sure it was because I messed it up when I first posted the sendspace links. If you want, you can edit the original post and I'll delete this.

Wow! Thanks!

You're a good man klagg! I wasn't aware of the radio libre session so thanks a lot!

Has anyone ever seen any other Later with jools holland media floating around on the interweb? I watched that show and it was part of my introduction to the national. I know they played lit up as well as secret meeting. I saw the video of lit up live on later on some torrent sites but i wasn't sure if it was available or not.

Good post Klagg! Can it be pinned?

Klagg,

Is the May 7, 2007 show correct? When I imported it into iTunes, in the comments section, it reads May 8th.

Ha ha! I got 'em all.. That just further confirms that I'm a complete TN-nerd!

Does Clampdown exist in mp3? Wma is poo.

That's what I was thinking. I tried to convert it but it cut out a quarter of the song for some reason when I tried, so an MP3 version would be much appreciated.

Here you are:

Clampdown
320 VBR MP3

And here's another demo:

High Beams
128 MP3

Now, does anyone have the alternate version of "Wasp Nest" mentioned in the Cherry Tree liner notes?

Thanks a lot. Much better.

As for the alternate version of Wasp Nest, I'd completely forgotten it existed. I don't have it unfortunately, but do you know what's different about it? i.e. does it have a different ending, like Brainy, or is it something else?

Wow, thanks for all this!

Where did the "High Beams" demo come from? What Year? Never heard of this one...

On my iTunes it says it is from 2000, but I'm not sure how reliable that was. I didn't just make it up, mind you. I think it was available from American Mary in 2004 as a free download so I would have thought the year labelling would be accurate, coming from the band themselves.

Does anyone know how to save the Vincent Moon videos as audio files? I love the acoustic Start A War.
