There's a great recording of Man or Astro-Man? from the John Peel show. Killer stuff and really good audio quality...here.

There are a ton of Mermen shows up there. They can be hit or miss, especially the more recent shows. One of my favorites is one of the Cubberly Community Center shows (can't remember the particular date), that has probably their best performance of Emmylou Rides Clarence West Then South.

Mermen, loads, I've passed the half way line.
Jim Thomas' Shi-Tones = cool stuff!

I'm sure this has been posted before but, here is a page with Dick Dale's Peel sessions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/artists/d/dickdale/. I'd like to see these for download though....

Off the top of my head, I can't recommend a specific one (aside from the Cubberly Community Center show I mentioned earlier). In my opinion, I'd go with the older shows on Live Archive, rather than those from the last couple years. A lot of the recent stuff is really lackluster. I feel they were better when Allen Whitman was on bass.

Beach Party 10/10/97,
both Cuberly community Center Shows (3/20/98 and 12/02/2002),
The Maritime Hall 2/28/97, 10/17/97,
Slim's 1/05/2002,
Great American Music Hall 1/03/2003,
19 Broadway 12/11/2004 and

I second Maritime Hall. I've also been enjoying the latest 19 Broadway performance from last September that I downloaded a little while ago. That one's a bit less subdued that the other recent stuff, and coincidentally (?) marks the return of Allen Whitman.
