uriah heep live '73

bursting out 

made in japan

frampton comes alive ( over-rated by some here i believe )

[skb558]

The only track I like on Frampton Comes Alive is ‘Do You Feel Like We Do’ ; takes me straight back to the hot summer of ‘76, eighteen and not a care in the world.

I was working in a record shop in 76, and someone was always playing the Frampton album. A double too IIRC, I got so fed up of hearing it all the time. Although when ‘Rumours’ came out and the same scenario happened, I realised it wasn’t actually that bad.....😆

[Chezz55]

Colosseum - Live (1971),  and the 1994 Colosseum reunion concert in Cologne.

 

Extremely Live at Birmingham Town Hall - Chris Farlowe, Spencer Davis, Pete York, Miller Anderson, Colin Hodgkinson and Zoot Money

 

 

As well as many of those already listed above.

Stanley Sheldon's bass playing on Doobie Wah (daft song title) and I wanna go to the sun, is good. Played a fretless P bass apparently. Frampton is a hell of a guitarist too, but some of his lyrics are a bit cringe-worthy.

[Dankology]

I love live albums. My favourites:

 

Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl - check out the harmonies vs the rudimentary (non-existent?) monitoring

Who - Live at Leeds - not a massive fan of the original  short album but love the expanded 1995 edition with A Quick One etc

John Martyn - Live at Leeds - the original, not the later rerelease that swapped a load of performances out

Stones - Get Yer Ya Yas out

Neil DIamond - Hot August Night

Jane's Addiction's first LP

Lou Reed - Rock & Roll Animal and bits of Take No Prisoners

Nirvana Unplugged

J. RIchman & the Modern Lovers - think it's just called "Live"

Doors - the big In Concert compilation, despite multiple edits and overdubs

The Fall - Totale's Turns, 27 Points, Live Various Years, Legendary Chaos Tape, Reykjavik... Most of the live ones, to be honest

 

The Meat Puppets are about to release a live album I was involved in recording. Sadly, my mix was rejected and I've been relegated to a photo credit :o(
