Live recordings of the Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats are phenomenal live. Like many people who love tMG, I adore going to live shows and listening to live recordings. These shows are so amazing for their emotional presence, John's love of his music, and John's famous storytelling between songs. The banter between songs is often as rich as the music itself.

This site chronicles the Mountain Goats formally through 2017. Accordingly, this catalog ends at the end of 2017, although live shows from later periods will of course continue to include the earlier releases explored on this site. To the best of my knowledge, this is the most complete list anywhere of available live recordings for this period. If you have a recording that isn't on this list, please email me!

John has said that he's OK with sharing tapings of live shows (see also Nall's FAQ). Consequently, here are the shows that I've found over the years and have been enjoying. They're all out there, as are many others that I'd love to hear. If you'd like to hear something on this list that you can't find, would like to share something that isn't here, or have corrections or more information about any of these shows, I would love to hear from you. I'm not able to share all of these shows, unfortunately, so please be understanding, but I like to help when I can. Don't be shy if you have something to offer: I believe in the value of tape trading and enjoy meeting fellow fans.

Two notes require some explanation. "Incomplete" is used when the available tape does not contain the entire show, while "partially available" is used when a more complete recording exists, only a subset of which is available for download. I'm delighted to have recorded a few over a dozen of these.

Tapes that I made personally can be found here!

Listings to archive.org downloads that have no link have been removed by the taper for a variety of reasons, but were once available there.

Occasionally, I find live recordings of songs which have no information connected to them about where or when they were played. At present, thanks largely to the exceptional memories of Stephen Plummer and Caliclimber, I only have two such tracks: Mutiny in Heaven (Birthday Party cover) and Loch Lomond. If you have any ideas about where these could be from, please be in touch!
