Soft Boys - Live 2001


In 2001/2002, there were a number of live .mp3s available for free download on the official Soft Boys website. There were also a huge pile of other ones available if you coughed up some $$. I saved all of the free ones, but never did fork over the $$ for the rest.

If you are not aware, The Soft Boys was the first band that Robyn Hitchcock led, back in the 1970s. They reformed in the early 2000s for a few tours and a brilliant new album, Nextdoorland. The songs are sometimes silly and sometimes serious... But, they always rock and sound sublime. B-) Check'em out!

Thanks! I'm a big Robyn/Soft Boys fan. Wish this had a Word/Notepad page with the song titles, rather than having to write them down from the indivual files! Not complaining though. Thanks so much!

Oh to hell with what I said above. These are incredible! Thank you. I was driving I-95 today and saw, abandoned on the median, a smallish lime-coloured cone, and couldn't help but think of Robyn and those cones he has sold at concerts. It looked like it needed a family!
