Underwater Poetry at CD Baby
"Where did you get this?"
I got my Underwater Poetry Festival at CD Baby -
http://cdbaby.com/found?allsearch=bukowski
For the great price of 10 bucks. And I reiterate the correction to my bad review -- I was wrong, this CD is not bad, it's great. Most of the readings are well done, some different poems than other recordings, and some of the banter is unique, like how he talks about the Utah football game and the Utah cheerleaders, because the reading is in Salt Lake City.
"Buy my books and be saved."

All right!! Glad you like it. Coincidentally that was the first Buk album I got, too. It didn't take long till I needed them all. Have you got others yet? I think I got King Of Poets next, which was just as great but with a completely different personality.
Hunt is over
And I bagged my prey. I got a Terror Street CD via interlibrary loan through my library, and copied it.
Allll right. Not to mention I found the Viking Inn reading, too. Double all right!!

Viking Inn
I received my Viking Inn CD, and it's great. I don't know about the Ebay seller -- I got mine from this place:
http://apoprecords.com/
Turns out some scenes in the video Born Into This are from this Viking Inn show, including the opener: "Dennis, for God's sake get him a bottle!!"
Anyway, it's a great listen, with some poems from no other recordings. And don't forget, read his books and be saved.

Why yes there is! Let's call it Bukowski at Baudelaire's.
intro/preamble/bullshit
the sniveler
chatter
the tabby cat
chatter
the crunch
audience member heckles Bukowski, repeating, "cliche! cliche!"
Poet and poetess
chatter - "big John at Black Sparrow didn't want to print that one..."
against the tide
time
chatter - "they're walking out!" long break, introduces Linda Lee
pacific telephone
one for old snaggletooth
this poet
- missing 10 or 15 minutes -
dollars
the place didn't look bad
chatter - "questions?" "is Tom Waits still a buddy of yours?" "yes, I still lift weights until my body yearns" - goes off on Faulkner
my old man
chatter - a fight breaks out in the bar
one for the shoeshine man
partial poem - "one for the shoeshine man"
thank you, good night
If it looks like not many poems, that's because there's a lot of talking with the audience on here. I've never heard quite as many between poem lulls and chatter in a Bukowski reading as I have on this tape. Maybe they edited all of that out of the commercial releases.
Oh and Baudelaire's is/was in Santa Barbara, so John Martin was there. When the "cliche" heckler asks Bukowski to buy him a beer, Bukowski says, "Ask the balding red headed man at the big round table who's buying drinks for everyone else." At another point a Black Sparrow secretary walks out, and Bukowski comments on it.

There is also the previously unreleased "Klacto" recordings that were released on CD - 12 GREAT AMERICANS. And a Live at The Viking Inn cd that is a bootleg of Dennis' (still unreleased) Viking Inn video.
Otherwise, I think you hit all of them with that list. There are others, but they are just bootlegs of one of the above recordings under different titles.
King of poets is actually a bootleg of the NOLA Express cassette. I haven't compared them, but I assume it's all there. Maybe I will digitize the original cassette at some point (if someone hasn't already).

It was not released. There is an audience cassette from the reading, but no digital version.
There are a lot of audience cassettes - or at least there were - in almost every picture from every reading you can see the recorders and microphones scattered all over the desk in front of him. It's surprising that more haven't surfaced, but I guess they are lost to time.
