Live Compilations

Live music was important to Peel, both in his BBC work (as first presenter of the long-running In Concert show and with later regular Sound City events, Maida Vale: Live Sessions, Peel Acres sessions and coverage of Glastonbury and Reading festivals) and elsewhere as a busy gig-goer and compere over many years (see Gigography).

This page is a preliminary attempt to list Peel plays of various artist (v/a) compilations of live music performances, including dedicated releases of recordings from festivals, venues, label tours and fundraiser events. Please add more information if known.

For single-artist releases of concert material, see Live Releases.
