What live performances are broadcast in your area?


I live in rural (burgeonly-suburban) NH, USA about 75 miles from the Boston broadcast towers. I enjoy live (no tape) Boston Symphony broadcasts from Symphony Hall, such as the one I heard last night of the Previn Violin Concerto and Beethoven Symphony #7 on WCRB. We also have rock broadcasts from the River 92.5 live in studio (Shawn Colvin, the late Jeff Buckley, etc.) Obviously the immediacy and impact of these performances is unparalleled. Compiling a register of these for the Agon community is a "good thing." Question is:
1. What live broacasts do you have in your area? What stations? What kinds of music?
2. What equipment, including antenna and tuner, are you listening to them on?

1670 AM Allston Brighton Free Radio, part15 and webcasting at www-abfreeradio-org (Allston Brighton is a Boston neighborhood). You obviously can't get 1670 even in every part of Allston/Brighton. However, due to impending webcasting fees, we're making a push to broadcast local bands/performances of any kind. Many of these will be unsigned acts, or from small labels. We made an arrangement for use of a space and a link to our studio. We'll be way far from audiophile quality, as our budget is what people donate. However, you'll hear more unique live performances from us. The live music department has just been formed, so give us some time to get the schedule up. However, some shows have already begun having acoustic artists in studio.
Furthermore, there's no subsitute to actually attending a live performance. If you can't find shows of your liking in NH, check listings for shows in Cambridge/Boston. They may be worth the trip. I travel from Boston to Providence or NYC for some shows.
