After spending years painstakingly collecting and chronicling all of the various bootlegs, rare tracks and other items, I realized that there needs to be a place where this content can be made easily accessible. So with that in mind, I hereby announce the Unofficial Get Up Kids Bootleg and Rarity Archive. The goal of this catalog is to form a permanent, accessible record of every available non-commercial recording of The Get Up Kids for the purpose of personal use by fans.
Over the years, I have collected every live bootleg I could find. In that time, I have gone back through various internet archives to label unidentified locations, correct mis-labeled dates and tracks, tag each file with as much information as is available, and collect concert posters and photos for the purpose of album artwork to the best of my ability. Of course, whatever work I have done absolutely pales in comparison to the work done by those who actually recorded these shows, none of which I take credit for. I also plan to add whatever attribution I can find, although I have none of that information at this time.
But the most important thing: This should be an ever-changing archive. Not only do many recordings exist already, live or otherwise, but now that the band has officially re-formed and started touring, there are now new opportunities for further recordings to be made. So if you have any recording that is not already on this list, please let us know so we can make it available to fans everywhere! You will be credited here as well as in the actual file tags.
If you have any audio or video material and would like to share it, please let us know.
