Concerts I recorded onto audio cassettes from the radio

 live on the radio

Concerts I recorded onto audio cassettes. There could be many more but i assumed if it just said “live” in most cases it was a recording of a once live show, not a live show at the time I heard it. There are a few live in person concerts listed here too.

5/15/81, at My Father’s Place

The full tracklist for the legendary May 15, 1981 live broadcast from My Father's Place in Roslyn, NY (often traded among tape collectors as the unofficial Live Shots 2 bootleg) captures the band touring right after the release of Musta Notta Gotta Lotta:

Hard Livin'
Good Rockin' 
Tonight
Dallas
Wishing for You
I Had My Hopes Up High
Dam of My Heart
Hold On
Standin' at a Big Hotel
Road Hawg
Fools Fall in Love
Keep Gettin' Paid the Same
Musta Notta Gotta Lotta
Not Fade Away
Fingernails
Cotton Picker
Suckin' on a Big Bottle of Gin
Long Snake Moan

The performance features the definitive powerhouse lineup of the Joe Ely Band, prominently featuring the unmatched, fiery guitar work of Jesse Taylor and Ponty Bone on accordion.
