LDB Special Series #30

Hello! Here is a new series from my collection. After the Master Series, here is the Special Series.
Out of my 6,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

If you are curious to know what are the top 5 bands for me, you should check Mercury Rev because this band is indeed in this
list! And the album 'All Is Dream' my favourite one from the band. Infact, the show I saw in Milano back in October 2001
is in my Top 10 list ever! I am really into this band. Plus they are really nice folks, I had the chance to have a drink with
them prior to the show and what a great bunch of guys!
This one is another of my favourite shows, and it gives the chance to listen to their music with top quality. The Black
Session programme from Bernard Lenoir is quite famous in france and he invites band to perform live in the studios of Radio
France. You should know the Black Sessions because Radiohead performed there twice in the early days.
But here we are with Mercury Rev. If you like psychedelic, floydian atmospheres melted with pop and inventive, you should
download this one (and of course buy all their official releases!)

Please, do NOT encode my shows in mp3!!! If you want to do so, just do it for your personal use but I hate to know that they
are shared somewhere else in mp3. Eventually I would stop seeding shows if this happens again.

Enjoy!
