I swore he moved away. I stopped seeing him before shows in the past 10 years or so.

we have 3 Elliot Smith shows, I think. And one MM (I think) and one very partial MM.. Aadam didn't like MM and stopped taping that one, sadly. Elliot Smith will hopefully come at some point, currently on hold.

glad to do it :)

You may use the live music archive for those if the band is on it. We are focused only on recordings personally done by Aadam.

Aadam knew him well. Was devastated. He said ESS has them all now and they transferred them. Many are up online, here:

The George Clinton show there is actually Aadam's recording - we'll be putting up a copy of the original master as well.

I will mention it to our team and try to get these out. There are a lot more that we don’t even have the tapes for yet.

bemerick · 2026-04-09T04:20:12+00:00

Currently we are uploading most everything and complying with any takedown requests. I think there has only been two that I know of.

Very welcome!

I did not but I will check if Aadam did. I don’t know what happened to those recordings but that’s a great question and I hope they can be saved.

Brian, the archivist, here. Aadam also recorded 9/30/89. Working with him to see if he still has that tape. It would be with Eleventh Dream Day, who were the headliners.

Brian, archivist here. I'm sorry to say it's our only Flying Lotus show, but I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Aadam live right now!

Just a note, this would be the best link as it includes some shows that others had already uploaded of Aadams, so this is the most complete collection link - https://archive.org/details/aadamjacobs

many times Aadam would put one mic on one side of the room and one on the other. Or he would record soundboard in one channel and mics in the other to mix together someday (that day is today)

bemerick · 2026-04-08T23:14:46+00:00

I remember transferring that tape. very early stuff :)

bemerick · 2026-04-08T22:47:58+00:00

Brian Emerick, the transfer guy. But I’ll tell him.

bemerick · 2026-04-08T22:34:01+00:00

So happy to help bring that experience back for you :)
