The Music. Well that is the main reason we are all here and are all fans of this great band! Well this page is going to be a central location for various links, sites, downloads and all around place's to find The Samples music. Enjoy!

www.archive.org


This site is one of the best resources you can find for live Samples music to download listening (among 100's of other bands). They have an archive (hard to believe I know with the name!) of just over 40 Samples shows. All of which you can download in various formats and bit rates. As well about half the shows that are archived there you can stream and listen to right on your computer. It's a great thing for anyone who can listen to music at work.

So check the site out! Download some shows to your mp3 player, burn some on CD, or just stream away and enjoy the tunes! Here is a direct link to the Samples shows. http://www.archive.org/details/TheSamples

Another site (which does not appear to be actively maintained) has live recordings from two older Samples shows that are downloadable - song by song - in .mp3 format. 18 years ago, Sean Kelly (with a higher pitched, younger sounding voice) introduced many of the same songs that rock their current shows. Check out this young live recording of The Samples performance at Wetlands Preserve, NYC, 1989.

Ten years later, the Samples were still performing favorites at a live show recorded at the House of Blues, L.A., 1999. This show highlights an emphasis on percussion in the band's live performances, and compared with the 1989 show from the same site, Sean is much more "relaxed" on stage. (Pass it forward!) Check out the reggae jammin' with "Seany Boy."

Download of the week:


This is going to be a weekly (as you can tell by the name:)) download of a favorite Samples tune. Something old, something rare, or just something you're digging at the time:) And a short description of what the track is and why you're into it:)

Well I'll try my best to keep this updated weekly, but as I'm sure some have noticed I've not been able to do so of late. Not that I've forgotten about it. Just between work and moving, I've had almost no free time. But I'll do my best:)
