"Live Al***s" of yesteryear

Not a big Oldfield fan and much less so that I used to be. But 'Exposed' is another one of thosr hair raising outings, on vinyl and CD (better on the former - slightly). I can still listen it today and shiver. I think that in years to come Kraftwerk's Max Min may also go down as an all timer.

Bob Seger - "Live Bullet" great performance and recording

Thread made me determined to get out Deep Purple's 'Live in Japan' the three concerts that were the source for 'Made in Japan'. Mmm...it is 3:10, let's wait 'til tomorrow...
Of all the live albums I have, the pinnacle is 'David Live', although apparently, Bowie wasn't keen on it himself. Mind you, despite adulating him for the past 35 years it has to be conceded that he was somewhat chemically dependant back then, and I guess it’s difficult to extract fond memories from black times. This is my favourite Bowie album; no mean feat from such an illustrious catalogue. Just been re-mastered and re-released in the correct running order too…

Dave

And it hasn't spent much time out of the CD player in recent memory, as I'm married to a Bowie fan. I wouldn't sit and listen to it right through but I can see why people do.

Cheers

Harry

Harry - I only discovered it had been re-mastered last night, guess it was probably something to do with this thread, but I was having a short bout of insomnia running in my system, and don't remember precisely why. I do know it cost me about £50 for this and a few others. Now someone's started a thread about 'Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin' and...oh well, another £7. Damn these interseting threads and damn those clever people at Amazon too...

Dave

Who - Live at Leeds

Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps

King Curtis - Live at the Filmore

Paul Butterfield - Live

Live & Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

Ian

We've had it a few weeks Dave. The lovely Hell is a Bowie freak and nothing passes her by. She's been hanging on to a totally knackered vinyl copy since her yoof and waiting patiently.

I see all the old favourites are emerging now in the thread. Some of mine too but for sheer tingling reality I've still got to go with Mike.

Cheers

Harry

Status Quo - live at the Glasgow Apollo

HTK, the good old stuff never fails and it dosent matter where you here it!

thin lizzy jailbreak!
Try judas preist or black sabbath live albums!
uriah heep live at moscow!

p.s i loved the seventies!

Slade - Alive

Magic memories of seeing them years ago in Wolverhamton Civic Hall. Never thought of it as glam rock at the time - just seriously exciting music compared to Tamla Motown and Reggae.

Brad

Same as your other half Harry I'm afraid - borrowed a fiver from my 1st month’s wages to buy it.
Blimey Brad, Slade Alive, not thought about that one in ages. This is too much, found a link to it on play.com and there's tons of Slade stuff and even a link to an album liberated from my collection by my mum - Razamanaz by Nazareth - not live, but a corker - can you believe she chucked it! Funnily enough me mum just called and she wasn't in the slightest bit guilty about it!
Think I’ll have to stay away from this thread, it’s proving expensive.

Best to all

Dave

Completely agree. Bob Seger & TSBB was one of the best concerts I ever attended. Turn the Page is a true classic.

I confess I prefer Nine Tonight. I think Bob's a sadly neglected performer.

I think I'll give "Live at Leeds" a plug here. For me the definitve hard rock live album. Not from yesteryear because I've listened to it regularly for the past 35 years.

Also Grand Funk Live. It's superb, raw live rock.

Is that Stupidity/Stupidity+ or something completly different? Sounds like Stupidity+. Growing up in Southend in the 70s the Feelgoods were 'the' local band - I must have seen them 20+ times in less than 10 years at variouus London and Essex venues. So for me, Stupidity+ is an essential album and as far as I know was/is the definitive lifespan showcase. Have they gone and lobbed out another one?

Cheers

Harry

HTK, sorry the album i was referring to is called twenty five years of doctor feelgood, but most of the tracks are live and also the song selection is superb for a compo.


regards,

Freddie White - Live on Tour. Alas Freddie probably little known outside Ireland. One man plus guitar and what a voice.

all covers, fats waller and frank zappa, Joan Armatrading and John Hiatt - eclectic!
An absolute wonderfull reading of Guy Clarke's "Desparado's waiting for a train" actually brings a tear to my eye as I remember those lost to me.

Now resident in USA, still tours and still sounds great.

Live Cream (volume one)

Stephen - thanks. I'm 99.9% sure we're talking about the same album.

Cheers

Harry

King Crimson, USA, wherein KC's Larks' Tongues material really springs to life; this was a band who were almost always better onstage than in the studio. The CD version adds "Fracture" and "Starless", giving you a good approximation of their '74 set.

Talking of Cream, Disc 2 of "Wheels of Fire" is a cracker even with a very long "Toad".

I'm also a huge Bob Seger fan. I think "Nine Tonight" is a really great album. Sadly my CD has become unplayable and I don't currently have a vinyl replay capability.

I also like "Reach Up and Touch the Sky" by Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes.

There are plenty of good live King Crimson recordings available through the King Crimson Collectors Club.
All available through the Discipline Global Mobile web site rather than the shops.

Two of my favourite all live albums are Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes and Ozzy Osbourne - Talk of the Devil.

Man, these two albums are mind blowing

Jag

Just got my copy of 'Live bullet' - hope it's as good as I remember it!...
