Video from 1996 is very rare. The only one I'm aware of is 1996-11-26, Later with Jools Holland (That was My veil and Taut). You can see Rob on drums for Taut at 4:15:


The info file for a 2010 torrent that I got from Dime for the 1996-10-30 Amsterdam, Studio Amstel gig notes the band as:
"Polly Jean Harvey, John Parrish, Rob Ellis, Eric Feldman, Jeremy Hawk"

That's an obvious mistake at the end. It's Jeremy Hogg, not Jeremy Hawk.

Re: Dancehall at Louse Point Tour
As previously suggested the belief is that there were 4 dates played at the Bristol Fleece and Firkin - Tue/Wed/Fri/Sat evenings. 8th-12th October 1996
There's only 2 mentioned in the gigography, the 8th and 9th of October which would correspond with the Tue and Wed of that week.
My gig ticket from that week states the 11th October which would correspond to the Friday evening.
Hoping someone can update the gigography.

time for an update?

Thank you, the gigography has been updated. I listed both shows, but since you only have a stub for the show on the 11th, I left a question mark after the 12th. Not that I don't believe you, but perhaps we'll get another to confirm. Maybe a setlist!

If the 12th was a Saturday, pretty sure that was a gig night. Remember going to dance class as usual in the morning and finding someone to give my spare ticket to. I bought two tickets for each show and took a different guest each time. No idea who the support was or what they played, beyond the album tracks. I did grab a lipstick-encrusted cup from the stage - probably still in a drawer in the garage... It's odd there's no photos from that week on t'internet.

Found these for bjork (im an active bjork collector, more than with Polly but posting this here for you guys):

5 audience bootlegs recently published online, all from San Fransisco: https://archive.org/details/@neekrive?query=harvey (you can download a lossless aiff on the right of each page)

It goes with this website; https://bootlegconfessions.com/2020/07/29/1995/ where the bootlegger (Nick Baker) posts a little txt for each date, theres also the 1st part of some shows (tricky for 1995)

Hope its new to some of you

Thanks! I think some of these are new to me.

^ This is an exciting find for me! I attended at least two of these shows and the September 28, 1995 show was the first time I went to see her. I was not all that familiar with her catalalog, I went as a birthday gift to myself and was not expecting to be so blown away. The show was stunning, but as I now know, also very subdued compared to other shows that year. There was no garish makeup, no prancing around at all. I've always wondered what the setlist was for that show, it is not in the gigography but it will be soon. Lying In The Sun was the opener, unusual but not unheard of that year. Thank you!




ETA: I've only listened to some of the Sept. 1995 show and the quality is poor.

i downloaded the 1995 ones and the 2001 one ( i already had the 1998 one) and listened to them fully; these are the set lists i could make up listening to the 1995 ones:


1995-05-19:
To Bring You My Love (its audio is wrongly named "Lying in the sun") , Send His Love To Me , Meet Ze Monsta , One time too many ( end cut off) , Working For The Man ( missing the start of the song) , harder , Teclo , Long Time Coming , Down By The Water , C’mon Billy , Hook , Motorbike , Driving , 50Ft Queenie , Oh my lover , Long Snake Moan , Goodnight


1995/09/28:
Lying in the sun , Long time coming , Dress , One time too many , meet the monsta( the end is cut off) , Working for the Man( the first part is cut off and the song is divided in 2 different audios called, for some reason, "One time too many"), Send his love to me, Hardly wait ,Teclo , Down by the water , Hook , Harder , me-jane , 50ft queenie , Somebody’s down somebody’s name , Water , to bring you my love , Long snake moan , goodnight


the 2001 one is missing, according to the Gigography, The Sky Lit Up: an audio file is named "the sky lit up" but it's actually Man-size.




many tracks are wrongly named or bear no name at all and overall the audio of these recordings is bad, but it's better than nothing, thank you for sharing.

While surfing the internet I found an article suggesting a possible mistake in the Gigography, so i started digging a bit and i would say there's most definitely a mistake in the gigography... here's my findings:


We are talking about this Gigography entry:

this is, by the way, the first 1998 italian gig.

At first i found this 1998-08-28 article by the italian comunist newspaper il Manifesto : https://ilmanifesto.it/archivio/1998014870 :


translated:


i will point out multiple things:
1) the gigography entry calls the concert location " arena festa dell'unità"; now, "festa de l'Unità" was and is an italian comunist/leftist festival, named after the official newspaper of the old italian communist party ( which doesn't exist anymore), called l'Unità. There's no arena, to my knowledge, called "arena festa dell'Unità" in Correggio.

2) the 1998 edition of said festival was set in Bologna, not Correggio (the two of them are 70 kms apart), according to this wikipedia article: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festa_de_l%27Unit%C3%A0#cite_note-10; this validates the manifesto article. Furthermore, the only Correggio international concert in 1998 was by Dave Matthews Band, according to: https://www.concertarchives.org/locations/correggio-reggio-emilia-italy.

3) Now, i'm not from Bologna, so i'm almost completely ignorant about the city's locations, but after googling for arenas in Bologna i think the concert was played in the "Arena Parco Nord" ( nowdays called "Arena Joe Strummer"), 'cause apparently there's no "Central Arena" in Bologna; Arena Parco Nord is an open-air amphitheatre, which hosted a series of MTV concerts that same year.
at last, setlist.fm confirms my suggestion: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pj-harvey/1998/arena-parco-nord-bologna-italy-2bcff876.html and finding these 1998 articles leaves little room for mistake:
https://www.rockol.it/news-7329/p-j-harvey-incanta-il-pubblico-di-bologna, https://www.rockol.it/news-896/pj-harvey-dopo-l-album-tour-italiano-a-novembre.

Let me know if i messed up or if missread something.
