Blink 182
"Live EP"
(Unreleased)
Before the band released "The Mark, Tom and Travis Show" the only places you could find live Blink recordings were online bootlegs or as b-sides from their European releases. This EP takes all the live b-sides from the singles that were released from "Enema of the State." There are some pretty good performances here and the banter is top notch. Many of these were recorded in 1999 so you can hear some really rough live versions of these hit songs.

New Found Glory
"Live in Seattle 2000"
(Unreleased)
This is recording is a bootleg from the same show as the Fenix TX post below. Interesting sidenote: this is the band's first Seattle show. How about that?

Death Cab for Cutie
"Live at the Crocodile Cafe 11/2000"
(Unreleased)
This is a short, 10 song set from Death Cab when they were the support for Pedro the Lion. Many of the songs are culled from "The Fobidden Love EP" and "We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes." There's some pretty awkward banter from Gibbard and the live version of "President of What" is pretty rad.

Fenix TX
"Live in Seattle 11/2000"
(Unreleased)
Fenix TX is not a mind blowing pop-punk band, but they had a couple of pretty solid albums with their self-titled debut (originally released as River Fenix) and "Lechuza." This San Diego-by-way-of-Texas quartet led the way for Drive Thru to (briefly) take over the pop-punk scene for a minute.
This recording is from the Graceland (now El Corazon) on their headlining tour with New Found Glory, Good Charlotte and Lefty.

Jimmy Eat World
"Live at Sonic Boom Records"
(Unreleased)
Whether you're a 30 year old Jade Tree Records devotee or an 18 year old college freshman, you've surely crossed paths with Arizona's finest band, Jimmy Eat World, at one point or another. Maybe it was the first time you heard "The Middle" while shopping at Macy's, or it could be getting drunk on New Year's Eve and pontificating the meaning of life while listening to "A Sunday."
This recording was made using a Mini-Disc recorder and edited by yours truly. It was during a stop on their 2002 fall tour with Weezer and Tenacious D. The band was really just Jim and Tom, along with Rachel Hayden of That Dog and The Rentals playing an acoustic set at Sonic Boom Records (Ballard) in Seattle.
