youngteam.co.uk/brightlight/eng/gig230704.phpThere's no video for the first 6 minutes or so, but the audio is there. i had to get the audio going on the floor level before moving up to the balcony to film. view is obstructed for a bit, but eventually it got clearer. This venue no longer exists. I was back in jacksonville and walking through the area recently and decided to look for it. figured out where it was, but..

Thanks for the video/audio. Sound is great and I love seeing these audience vids shot from the balcony. Any chance of releasing just the audio?
Reminds me of my fav vid which has a not-too-dissimilar angle and sound.

yeah. I can do that. I'll have to track down an actual tracked copy that i probably have somewhere? I'm still going through my DATs and retransferring raw dumps to properly archive (i don't really care about tracking them at this point). only a handful of masters to go (but my dat deck is not very friendly these days). then i have about a hundred tapes of clones (some with multiple shows) to go through. currently uploading: youngteam.co.uk/brightlight/eng/gig120306.phpshould be up later tonight!

I actually have 2 balcony angles of 2006-05-10 (stuart's 30th), but they're different resolutions and i never did figure out how to do multi-angle video really. i THINK i have two different audio sources (it may just be one 24 bit?). I'm not seeing it currently on any of my connected drives but that doesn't mean it's not around. not sure 100% wher ethe video is
all in all i shot: 2004-07-23 2004-08-05 2006-03-03 (probably not all the show?) 2006-03-04 (only part of the show) 2006-03-07 (maybe a song or two? horrible sight-lines in another venue that not longer exists. shut down after the owner was convicted of narcotics trafficing. 2006-03-08 (should be the full show?) 2006-03-11 (a song or two?) 2006-03-12 (full show) 2006-05-10 angle 1: left balcony same camera as the above recordings, angle 2: prettymuch center from above the balcony (a third level), where the coat check actually was. nicer camera.
that's video. audio: 2001-06-21, 2003-09-09, 2004-07-23, 2004-08-05, 2006-03-03, 2006-03-04, 2006-03-07, 2006-03-08, 2006-03-11, 2006-03-12, 2006-05-10, 2008-09-16, 2008-09-17, 2009-04-24, 2009-08-03, 2012-06-10.
unfortunately i've only been to 3 total concerts since that last show and i'm honestly unsure how much i'll be recording anymore. still have all the gear, but can't really travel like i used to. i don't personally know anyone that records anymore, so i don't really trade. i've just mostly sitting on my recordings for years and trying to start getting some stuff out there.
several of the audios above are already on archive.org via the link in my signature.

Thanks a bunch! That's a lot of shows. Look forward to seeing more as you get time.
If you ever want someone to do the tracking/uploading of any of them, I'm more than happy to help out. Done plenty of that in my time.

sorry for the stuart-centric shoot here. as a non traditional venue, the lighting was not.... good. my camera was not good in low light. he was the only one that was reasonably visible from my vantage point. standing at the back of the section of the room (honestly less than 10 people from the 'stage' edge). standing on top of a stool and holding the camera above my head. fun times.
audio from this should be already up on the live music archive.

Really digging this show the more I listen to it. Thanks a bunch for recording it and sharing it. Seems that the band are having a great time and enjoy playing some old tunes to what seems like a rather empty venue. Is almost like a "best-of" setlist from about that time. Love it! Though in front of a small crowd, as Stuart states in his commentary on the gigography, they certainly seem like they were into the show.

it wasn't the most sparsely attended mogwai show i've been to, but it was on one of the off nights from curiosa in a weird venue in a town that probably doesn't get a lot of these types of bands. it's a little hard to remember exactly how crowded it was. i definitely remember the second show of that tour that i went to having a pretty full house (pittsburgh on another curiosa off-night).
unrelated -- kind of bummed about the lack of traffic these days on message boards. i am really not into social media at all.
i'm really glad to have been able to be a part of various things over the years and i kind of miss the travel and the shows, but it seems really hard to fit into my life now.

There's not a lot going on on social media as far as I can tell either. Or perhaps there is, but they're in places that I'm not part of....
Attending shows isn't something that can be so easily managed when you get old and accumulate responsibilities along with debt.
Liking some of the banter on that show... Favourite parts.... "These are all old songs. They're new songs in Jacksonville. They're old songs in Atlanta" & "You all know the names of these songs. We don't even know the names of the songs. We only know them by the name of the chord, and it's all the same chord, so...."

Agreed that the traffic here has diminished a lot. Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites may be more popular - but these channels are mostly commercial one-way streets.
Compared to 2014, my concert-going diary has decreased by more than 50%. Funnily enough, at the same time the number of open taping opportunities has greatly increased. There has been a lot of support from some long-standing musician friends, local bands, tour managers, promoters and sound engineers alike (to an extent I would have never imagined 10 years ago). Keep up your hobby. These shows don't document themselves. ;-)

i was going to 20-30 shows a year for several years -- most of them 2 hours each way from home. since my last mogwai show in 2012, i've been to 2 total shows. if i end up moving someplace that gets more interesting shows locally, i suppose i'd go to more.
and almost everything i've been to/recorded in the past ~15 years has been open and i've been given a lot of opportunities to do things like video (like with mogwai). it's something i never imagined when i was trading cassettes via usenet in the mid 1990s or even when i first bought some gear to record in the late 1990s.
luckily i am debt-free, so that's a help. i am hoping to make the next mogwai tour, though. unfortunately none of the 2019 stuff so far is anywhere near this side of the country.
re: social media. one-way streets are no fun. i miss the conversation between the fans and hell even sometimes you get situations like here where someone from the band converses. that's nice.
even though i've barely used my gear (once since 2012), i'm reluctant to get rid of it (though i've considered selling the mics/preamp for a full frame dslr)

Oh wow, while I agree entirely distance about the traffic on most websites (non-social media related) which like you I'm not a big fan of. I will go on instagram but that's it. Best thing I ever did was get off of facebook. I also am in the same boat re increased responsibilities and debt interfering with my concerts but in the last two years my wife and I have made it a point to go to more shows. I will forever cringe at the fact I missed Mogwai in Brooklyn in 2009, which was around my birthday and due to my wife being very pregnant I didn't attend...still haunts me to this day. Plus I missed out on the 3 LP version of the Special Moves release.

Put the Liverpool show from last year up on archive.org a few mins ago. Will get round to the Birmingham and Leeds shows as soon as poss. Hopefully this week. My first attempt playing with the software, so do let me know if I've badly cocked something up.
Nearly a full year. Awfully sorry.

Well, I tried to upload, but apparently there is a network error. Maybe it's the browser. In any case there's three from last November recorded that I'm in the process of putting up.

Just listening to the Liverpool recording. Decent capture, thank you. Seems a long time since those UK shows already.

Cheers Rob. Leeds now up too.
The Birmingham night was far and away the best as I recall. Liverpool undersold, and as a result there were a couple near me that spent the entire show shouting, kissing(!), and laughing inanely, as well as taking advantage of the sparse crowd to come and go to the bar every other song. Decent set list, but spoiled a little by poor gig etiquette. The band seemed a bit put off by technical bother throughout too. Leeds was a weaker set, and a bit of an odd room, but Birmingham was a blistering set in a tiny room.
Back to the recordings, am I doing it right? I saw something about naming conventions of the tracks, so wonder if I need to change them somehow to conform with some sort of standard.

I'm no expert on how the LMA works, but the one thing I notice from your filesets is that there's usually a txt file included with the recording info. Just downloading Leeds now, but it was certainly missing from the Birmingham and Liverpool filesets.
Good to hear the Birmingham show was the best you saw on that tour, as it certainly floated my boat too.

Hello! First time posting here in a while. Sorting through through my live music collection, and taking the opportunity and to share master recordings or other rare/uncirculated recordings. First up, Mogwai in 1996 at King Tut's. This was torrented a while back, so I've just uploaded it to the live music archive: archive.org/details/mogwai1996-10-17.fm.flacThanks to Rob, who originally tracked this one down.

Thanks for uploading that. I can't recall hearing that before, and the synth addition is really quite interesting.
Also reminiscing listening to the Vera 1999 recording which someone uploaded recently. Had this on cd-r from decades ago, but my copy had a few issues, so very nice to hear a pristine copy of a great recording.

I see there's a bunch of new uploads to archive.org by user fogelsong done recently. Some I've seen, but there's a few that are new to me. So thanks a lot to he/she for uploading them. A good way to see the new ones: archive.org/details/@fogelsong?and%5B%5D=collection%3A%22Mogwai%22&sort=-publicdateQuite interested to compare the recording here of 1998-10-29 of which I'm a massive fan of the copy I already have. If this is better than that - wow.
