John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Live Releases

Sign in to edit

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 all single-artist live albums and singles played by Peel. Please see Live Compilations for various artist releases.

Live Album Plays[]

(Peel plays of live albums by single artists; for those with multiple entries, releases listed in order of first known play. Please see artist pages for details of tracks played. To qualify for listing, at least half of the album should be recorded live.)
