Lovely girls.
Picked this CD up today. Very cheap at £2.99. Quality of reproduction of the songs is very variable. Some are excellent, fortunately most of Joan's classics like Willow and The Weakness In Me, but some are insipid. Nice touch with the 18th track, the last, is Joan's live performance of Love and Emotion on 'Later ..with Jules Holland'. Despite the variability it's good VFM at this price.
This CD has been on my shopping list for quite a while following other members' recommendations of good recordings of live rock performances. Only got around to buying it today. I'm not a big Who fan but early impressions of this album are favourable. Nice and atmospheric. Cheap at a fiver, too.

Ya should have got Live at Hull because that is basically the same set as Leeds but has a live version of Tommy. I got both!
I am really starting to like this band, another discovery inspired by this thread.
Hi David. Thank's for the inspiration. I've seen this on here a few times now so I decided to listen on Spotify and I'm glad I did ... and the list grows longer.

They must have been listening to Roxy Music.
On Original Black
....will require some more listening......, quite different from the album before... Neil Cowley Tree, Touch and Flee
Grace Jones
"Living My Life"
Spotify
One of my all time favorites
Streaming from the HDX, sonic bliss.
The Istomin/Stern/Rose Trio
Archduke Op.97
Here's a set that everyone has an equal say. Comparatively Oistrakh Trio is straight laced.
Greater body and large presence for both strings. Stern's fiddle has a whispy quality. Istomin's piano has a crystaline tone. Rose' cello offseting with a beautiful warm mellow tone giving necessary anchor. A lot of textures showing through and excellent dynamics albeit not the most rhythmic rendition.
They make Oistrakh and Stern Stern Trio sounds stuff and wooden. So much more rhythmic and lyrical flow out of Kempff/Szeryng/Founier set. Much broader dynamic swing. Elegant and sophisticated grown up trio. I love Kempff's subtle creative spins.
HENDRIX - Band Of Gypsys - on cd. Happy Saturday everyone 
.
Very 80s.

Also have some recordings from these guys - there is something special about this kind of music.
