Huge archive of John Peel Sessions. Hundreds of artists between the 60s and 2000s played live on Johnā€™s Radio 1 show in the UK including many, many alternative and indie acts.

Hereā€™s one of my favourites, PJ Harvey playing Shela-na-gig in 1991:

    Smashing pumpkins released a few tracks from their Peel Session, would be cool to know if there were more songs recorded but not on that release. Thanks, this is a very cool archive!

    I had no idea there were so many complete Peel Sessions on YouTube. But somehow I'm not surprised, that site truly is like The Jukebox Of Alexandria.
