Hi thanks for the latest uploads, and yeah I think you have covered everything you said you could help me out with, so a huge thanks once again!
And about the Oxfam gig, we were lucky enough to go to that and get to the front row, but not so luckily they zoomed right in on my face during Losing My Religion and I'm singing along looking like a right goon! Still, it was a good night...
Here's some more from me:
Misc. 1 = 26MB
-Try Not to Breathe (live soundboard) - 30/07/95, Milton Keynes Bowl, UK

-Texarkana (live Mike Mills with the Possibilities feat. Bill Berry on drums) - 03/10/02, 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA, Benefit to re-elect Georgia State Senator Doug Haines
-'New Song' c. 80s (No idea where/when this is from, sounds a bit like an early 'Wolves' maybe? good quality nonetheless)
-Untitled AFTP acoustic instrumental demo
-Saturn Return (longer mix) v. similar but with longer intro
-Love Is All Around (live) - 19/11/92, 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA - only song never to have been commercially released from this '92 Greenpeace gig. Unfortunately this is not soundboard quality but still fair enough

... and I think that covers all the stuff I have for you, soundofthenorth. Looking over the list of what you wanted, I couldn't find the live version of Superman from '05 that I used to have, must have delted it... the last thing is to try and rip live versions of Me In Honey and Leave from the Rock am Ring vid I have... It's been a great trade, thank you so much for all your great uploads and hopefully more will crop up,
