DJ Compilation of the Month: Shut Up and Play, Vol 1

This month's DJ compilation is Shut Up and Play Volume One - Forgettable Moments on Stage, Brian Turner's 2001 Marathon premium CD. Ranging from Klaus Kinski's "I Am Jesus" tour to Jim Morrison's drunken on-stage ravings to regrettable ramblings from Elvis and Mike Love, Shut Up and Play isolates amusing between-song banter from the distracting musical numbers that often accompany it. Here are 27 MP3s of on-stage breakdowns, rantings, musings and tunings:

Elvis Presley 1  |  Freddie Hubbard  |  Donovan  |  Slayer  |  Mercyful Fate

Mark E. Smith  |  Nirvana Fan  |  Venom  |  Jim Morrison 1  |  Jim Morrison 2

Steve Albini  |  Klaus Kinski  |  Jefferson Airplane  |  Courtney Love 1

Stoned Hippy MC  |  Roger Waters  |  Anonymous Folksinger

Black Sabbath Tour Manager  |  Courtney Love 2  |  Woodstock MC

Tom Jones  |  Lou Reed  |  Elvis Presley 2  |  Iggy Pop

Mike Love 1  |  Mike Love 2  |  Mike Love 3

Thanks for the fun! The Mike Love 2 & 3 seem to have broken links. At least I couldn't download them.

Same here.

Another good compilation of this type of stuff is Celebrities ... At Their Worst, a grey label release of Celebrities going off in various ways. There were some sequels as well.

I fixed the links on those last two Mike Love tracks, sorry about that!

Is there any audio of Mike Love's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rant?

If there's a volume II, I suggest Sepultura, I've heard some of their live albums at work, and their between song banter is pretty awesome.

man...that Mark E. Smith one is great. It beats his two shitty 'spoken word' albums by a mile.

Judging by the music and MES' general disorientation, this was recorded during the LUS/Levitate era...a severely underrated Fall era in my book. I have a couple bootlegs of live shows from that time...and, sheesh- I think they were at their most vital and demented at that time. And it always sounds like there's only 20 people in the audience.

That 'Nirvana Fan' clip is insane, that guy sounds possessed. Maybe it was Venom.

I seem to remember a clip posted on this blog that was some K-Rock P.R. guy going nuts while introducing a Pavement gig. That would be a worthy addition.

...maybe it was Kronos, is what I meant...

i think the MES clip is the brownies show.

[Brian Turner]

Yes, it's the last show with the Scanlon/Hanley era lineup, for obvious reasons.

[Michael]

How about that show where David Cassidy said "If I lived here I'd slash my wrists"!

i think the MES clip is the brownies show...
