spongebob Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Any BC'ers ever 'appeared' on a live album? I was lucky enough to be at the gig that was released as 'Live At The Garage 2002' by The Fall. I've always been thrilled that I was there! https://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-the-garage-london-20-april-2002-mw0000477805 How about anyone else? Anybody 'Live And Dangerous' or any others?

That is actually the nearest I have come to it. I saw Thin Lizzy on that tour at Wembley but I don't think anything from that night was recorded. If some quarters are to be believed, most of it was recorded in the studio afterwards anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_lefty Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was at the Reebok stadium the night Coldplay filmed their video for "fix you". I'm a tiny dot in the crowd in that. Red Hot Chilli's sold MP3 albums of their 2012 tour. It was a great idea but sadly the biggest disappointment Ive ever had from a band (the gig, the MP3 was done so you could actually hear the vocal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBass Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I’m somewhere in the audience on a live album by Athlete. I’m also in the audience on some live tracks released by Depeche Mode in the eighties, as extra tracks on 12” singles, if that counts?

ead Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Nobody massive. But I was at the show where IQ recorded Live On The Road of Bones and also for the reasonably recent Karnataka live DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandypjb Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was at Rush's gig at the NEC Birmingham on the 'Show of Hands' video. I think it was the 'Hold Your Fire' tour. Great gig it was too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Coming down a division or two, I was at ex-Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley's new band Frehley's Comet 1988 show at the Hammy Odeon which made it into DVD and later YouTube. I mentioned this on a forum on Facebook and got a like from bassman John Regan which I was pleased about. It was my first show and I loved it.

Cato Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I'm singing backing vocals along with about 100,000 other people on Iron Maiden's 'Live at Donnington' from 1993. Not albums but I was also at the Birmingham NEC gig where Alice Cooper recorded his 'Alice trashes the world' live video and at the Chili Peppers gig at Slaine Castle which was released on DVD.

Ah, the great live album that was mostly recorded in the studio. Having seen quite a few of the 70's great live at the time, it was pretty clear that had those performances made it to tape, the live albums in question would have been disasters. The story of the edits to Rock of Ages by The Band is quite amusing also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 BB King & the Crusaders live at the QEH, and John Mayall's 70th Birthday with Eric Clapton in Liverpool, but then I did have a small part to play in that happening. Oh, and Therapy? Scopophobia DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Not a live album as such, but myself and a couple of mates were on the guestlist at the Royal Concert Hall Nottingham in 1983 when Saxon filmed their live video. In fact, one might almost claim to have played a crucial role in the end result... We'd travelled down from Blackpool in a hired pale yellow Mini Metro (not the most rock 'n' roll of vehicles!). Almost as soon as we got there, one of the roadcrew collared us and asked if we'd come by car - apparently Graham Oliver needed a guitar picking up from Carlsbro Music in Leicester, could we take one of the crew and go for it? So, off we trundle to Leicester, collect a sunburst Squier Strat from Carlsbro, fuel up the car at Saxon's expense, and head back to Nottingham. All gig, we're watching from the balcony at the side of the stage waiting for *our* guitar to make an appearance. Eventually, just when we've given up all hope, out it comes for "And The Bands Played On". Then this happens... https://youtu.be/wY-lyxqHzNM?t=36m55s Yep, *our* guitar gets thrown about, doused in lighter fuel, and set alight. Bloomin' rock stars, don't they know how much trouble (i.e. missed opportunities for ligging) went in to getting the darn thing here in the first place?!!! 🙈 Edited August 16, 2018 by tony_m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) The Jam at Newcastle City Hall Dec' 79, not a live album but IIRC filmed and shown on a Tyne Tees programme called Check It Out. Rainbow Live At Castle Donington Aug' 80. The Damned's Live In Newcastle Oct' 82. Thin Lizzy Live At Reading Festival Aug' 83. I could also be on Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, depending on which night at Newcastle Mayfair We Are The Road Crew was recorded.

FinnDave Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was in the crowd watching Here & Now play in the solstice at Stonehenge in (I think) 1978, which then became the album 'What You See is What You Are' with ATV on the other side. On the last ATV track you can hear the members of H&N coming on and slowly taking over as ATV faded away. I was close to the stage (Stonehenge was never a big festival) while this was happening, and H&N had travelled to Stonehenge in their bus direct from the house I was living in in Leeds at the time. Such happy daze, hard to believe it was 40 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I was at the Bob Marley & the Wailers gig in the summer of1975 at the Lyceum in London. This was the gig that the single 'No woman no cry' was edited from, although I think they recorded two gigs on consecutive nights, and I can't remember which one I was at! Anyway, the album 'Bob Marley & The Wailers Live' was the result, which became a massive seller when released. I went to the gig with a friend, and to be honest (to my shame) I didn't know much about BM, other than the odd track I'd heard. My friend was a student in London and just bought the tickets on impulse, so was quite a result! I was 17 and had passed my driving test not long before and drove down to London in my Morris Minor! My memories of the gig are a bit hazy, although I do remember thinking it was amazing. Quite a few of my mates attended the gig at Hull City Hall in 1970 by The Who which went on to become 'Live at Leeds' . I remember seeing the gig advertised but at 12 was a bit young to be allowed to go by my folks. The whole Hull gig was recorded but due to some technical problems the Leeds recordings from a previous night made it to the final cut and became the iconic album. There's always been some debate around here as to whether the album was made up of both the Hull and Leeds gigs, and the Hull recording was released not long ago as part of a Live at Leeds box set. Also they may have thought calling the album 'Live at Hull' didn't sound cool enough? 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I was at SLFs comeback gig in Kilburn in 1987 which was released as a live album, also managed to be at Finsbury Park for The Sex Pistols Filthy Lucre reunion tour which made a cracking live album.

bazzbass Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Live album by local band The Bodgies, before they had a bass player. I am clearly heard yelling "Get a bass player" and "get a bass player you FiretrUCKers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
