I’ve scoured the Internet and found maybe some two dozen or more bootleg SP3 live shows. I’m still going through them all and obviously many have very similar set lists but I’m curious which ones are your favorites?

One so far that stands out for me is August 24, 1988 probably because the drums hit harder than normal — whether because of how they’re played or recorded — especially on Revolution and Starship. January 12, 1987 is fun too for the Jazz Butcher sit-in. Anyway, curious for others’ standouts!

I just stumbled across this live recording of an Atlas Sound concert from 2011 in NYC and it is absolutely mind-blowing, perhaps one of the best non-jazz concerts I’ve ever heard period. The 30 minute encore is itself a masterpiece. You can download it for free, which IMO you should do immediately. https://archive.org/details/AtlasSound\_2011-12-18. Man I wish Bradford was still performing.
