A great live performance. Rich with innovation and subtlety.
IMO one of the greatest. Chord structure that never fails to amaze. His complete body of work was a true testament to his genius.
(1996)
For anyone not familiar with Nirvana then this album (of various live excerpts) is probably not for you, it's very raw and quite intimidating should you not know their style.
On vinyl, followed by...
Also on vinyl...
You Really Got Me was way ahead of it's time.
Yes first distorted guitar in history, I believe.
Don't know exactly what you mean by distorted guitar but the man who invented power chords was Link Wray. Kinks were a great band though.
Is this a good one? I've not ordered yet.

A band I am really (belatedly) getting to enjoy. Arrived today, now ripped and playing.
On vinyl...

Just because...
On CD:-
Discs 1 & 2
When my dealer presented the 250DR together with the 272 a while ago, they played a lot of beautiful music, but it was Harry Belafonte which made the greatest impression. What a charismatic character he is! Laughing, singing, telling captivating stories and really entertaining the audience - which in turn responds, clearly amused. "Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall" is a fantastic album.
The LP reissue from Living Stereo is supposed to be quite special but so far I'm enjoying the ripped cd.
Following Bert's choice above...
This seems to have become my 'go to' album when I fancy a listen to Tori.

Agreed +1. One of the greatest pianists and one of the greatest albums, although I only have the two albums of this set, 'Waltz for Debbie' and 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard'. Music making that really deserves the term 'sublime'.
Jon Hopkins - complete re-working of 4 tracks from Immunity. Completely different vibe from the original versions and very peaceful....first track on this has a vocal by King Creosote which may be interesting for anyone who enjoyed Diamond Mine.

We went to the Vanguard last week. It's a tiny place that seats about 120, down the stairs beneath a pizza place. Great sound and great atmosphere, and amazing to sit somewhere where such great music was recorded.
