What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?


For me, that song is a live version of "Chest Fever" by Humble Pie. My guess is that it's a vinyl bootleg that is virtually impossible to find. So, if anyone knows anything about this recording, please provide some details. In the meantime, maybe one of us knows something about a rare song and/or recording that some of you are looking for.

@garebear, I think I remember hearing (and liking) George's version of "It Don't Come Easy;" but, I don't remember how or where I heard it.

Both the Smithereens ("Attack of the Smithereens" or "Covers:) and Bettye LaVette ("Interpretations - The British Rock Songbook") have done excellent versions of that song. The Smithereens cd's are easy to find and reasonably priced; but, the Bettye LaVette CD is out of print; so, that will be a pricier option.. 

@whiteknee , I read Jerry Shirley's autobiography called "Best Seat in the House." It is one of the better rock biographies or autobiographies that I've read. Plus, major style points for the title!

Saw Yo Yo Ma on PBS many years ago.  Performance in a castle, I think in Scotland.  Sounded amazing on my old tube television at the time.  Have a fully decked out theater now and can't find even a hint on the internet that the performance ever took place.

@thecarpathian  Thanks for the suggestion of the 45's on Ebay.

@mitchagain  And thank you too, for the suggestion on the CD compilation.

I am going to look into both options. Appreciate it!

For some reason, I know that song by heart within my head!  That song had lots of energy and power when it came out.  Music really burns an imprint in our memory that never goes away!!!

I have a bootleg of Little Feat Live Oct. 31, 1975 at the Orpheum Theater Boston on cassette, burned to CD, but it's nowhere near the original broadcast quality heard on the day/date on WBCN.  My rommate recorded it on a Sony 10" RtR at 7.5 ips off a Pioneer TX9500 from our hilltop house roof antenna in Burlington, MA.  The SQ was fantastic.  Unfortunately, the machine and tape were lost in a home burglary...
