The Nirvana gig mentioned is https://archive.org/details/ajc00795_nirvana-1989-07-08 The quality is surprisingly good for a bootleg and the band are super-tight!

I don't know, I also feel like 'data hoarding' is something that's been getting more popular in recent years. Maybe because the ephemerality of the internet is starting to show.

#6Absolutely amazing collection, and it has lossless FLACs too! Many thanks to the fans and IA for making this possible.
Remember to donate and help keep the Internet Archive alive.

#7Some fantastic albums here. Clearly dedicated to his craft of recording. There are still a few quality bootleg bloggers out there that give me hope the web can still be special and enjoyable.

It's not the data hoarding that reminds me of the old Internet.
It's one person's curated collection.
It's it being made available for the sake of it.
It's novel, unexpected. a gift.

#9I remember when a collection like this had to be kept secret, otherwise the recording labels would sue. Nobody cares anymore?
