Anybody know if there is someplace on the internet where you can download a BBconcert? I have found sites where you can download live concerts by other artists , but I haven't found anything from the Blues Brothers.

Have you tried here?
Which concert do you need?
What about Best of the Blues Brothers?
Do you want video or just audio? Try here for audio.

I've seen online a bootleg video of a concert with Tommy "Pipes" McDonnell and Eddie Floyd that's entitled "Blues Brothers Pistoia". I'm not too sure about the spelling of that last word, it's the location of where the concert was recorded. Does anyone know anything about this?

[bbcentral]

Yes, you are correct!
The following concerts have been released as bootleg videos:
BLUES BROTHERS Pori / SF 1989 (50 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Stuttgart 1989 (73 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Baden-Baden 1990 (60 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Lugano 1990 (105 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Blues Festival Pointe-?-Pitre 1992 (52 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Ravenna 1992 (20 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Wolfhagen 1992 (104 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS New Orleans 1994 (60 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS House of Blues Los Angeles 1995? (31 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Antibes 1998 (78 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Vienne 1998 (45 mins)

(How's that for a list!!)

Try here as well to see if you can get a copy of them, or else try searching google for bootlegs. If anyone gets them, let me know!

Wow..... that is a list. It's making me drool....

Any idea who the vocalists are on each concert?

[bbcentral]

Well, these are Eddie Floyd and Larry Thursten:
BLUES BROTHERS Pori / SF 1989 (50 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Stuttgart 1989 (73 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Baden-Baden 1990 (60 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Lugano 1990 (105 mins)
BLUES BROTHERS Wolfhagen 1992 (104 mins)
This is Doctor John, Steve Cropper, Matt Murphy, Eddie Floyd, Isaac Hayes, Larry Thurston:
BLUES BROTHERS New Orleans 1994 (60 mins)
And this is Tommy McDonnell and Eddie Floyd:
BLUES BROTHERS Vienne 1998 (45 mins)

But I have no idea about the rest of them. I think you could assume that up to 1994 it was Larry Thursten, then it was Tommy McDonnell.

I allready got most of the clips in the download section, becous I have the best of DVD... actually I have two First I bought the region 1 cuz I had a region free DVD player, but that player broke and we bought a new one which was region 2 (standard in sweden) so I had to buy the best of DVD again. But thats allright cuz the R2 version has a cooler packing and more extras :D

The "Blues Brothers Pistoia" is Tommy McDonnell and Eddie Floyd, right? Does anyone have a setlist from this concert? Or know the year, since I don't think the 1998 year I said earlier is correct....

[bbcentral]

I found an entire bootleg split into mp3s on Kazaa. I think it may have been live on new years eve.
I think the year may be correct for Pistoia, but I don't have any more info on it.
