Hello everybody, it's been a while since I last posted a nice bootleg here so this is sort of my comeback, I hope you enjoy this. Here's an excellent 2 CD David Byrne bootleg titled "No Titles Please", which was released in 1995 by label Crystal Cat. It includes a complete show recorded in Sweden during DB's 1994 "In Constant Motion" world tour (25 tracks), and another eight "bonus" tracks (on the second CD) which are from two other shows in Sweden but from 1992. This is definetly one of my favourites DB bootlegs ever (along with the great "Unplugged+More" and Nashville 2001), and although "This Sensuous World" might have better sound quality, this one is just mindblowing, I adore everything about it, from the cover art to the recording itself. It includes great live renditions of tracks such as "Empire", "Sympathy for the Devil", "Stay Up Late", "Love-Building on Fire" and "Blind", which are not very common in DB's setlists (especially for Stay Up Late!), a lot of tracks from the 1994 "David Enryb" album and of course all the TH classics we know and love. I think my favourite track here would be "Back in the Box", the drums just rock (David, please bring Todd Turkisher back for your next record!
).I downloaded this bootleg a long time ago in huge FLAC files made directly from the "original" silver CD, and now I've made high quality MP3's from them (fully tagged by me), so it's easier and faster for you to download and play everywhere. Still, the whole package is pretty large, 280 Mb. (in three Rapidshare parts), but believe me it's really worth it, not just for DB fans but for everyone. This is good stuff. The package also includes a .txt "notes" file with some info about the recording and a .jpg file with BIG scans of both the front and back covers, which were originally included in that torrent I downloaded. The front cover is amazing, a great picture of DB at CBGB's, probably from when he performed there a year earlier and played tracks from his then upcoming David Enryb album. He played there three times (I think) in late 1993, I have those bootlegs too
will post them someday.This is from the "notes" txt file, which I improved a bit:

http://rapidshare.com/files/236532344/N ... .part3.rar
To extract it properly, you need to download these three files into the same folder and then just open the first part (with WinRAR) to extract all the files. The other parts will be recognized automatically, but only if they're in the same folder and the filename wasn't modified.
ENJOY!!!
Just like Francey said about this bootleg, Two-and-a-half-hour of pure enjoyment!!!
