Whoa, Whoa!!!!

Hold the front page.....

You were there for the '76 Zappa In New York shows????

You complete, and utter, utter, utter

I hate you!!

I'd been listening to FZ for a few years by then, so I knew a lot of his music...

The concert? Wow! Belew, Jobson, Bozzio and O'Hearn... What a team. Flo and Eddie opened and they did some Filmore East "Top Ten with a Bullet" as an encore.

I also really like the Elvis '68 comeback special. Seriously I'm a big fan of The King.

I actually have to add, even though it is in no way Prog:

Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs & Englishmen

It has a fantastic song set, and such energy from Joe!
And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..."

My favorite live record is THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY from Genesis Archives vol-1.

The next ones are Rolling Stones' GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! (1969), Zappa's TINSELL TOWN REBELLION (1981) and Roxy Music's VIVA! (1976).

Hello, Duke!

Yes, Supertramp is really underrated band - they have no really bad albums, but their 70, 74-85 and 97 records are really tasteful, nice, drammatic and wonderful.

Gabriel's concert at Modena is maybe the best show I've ever seen at video... How excellently Peter and Co. have performed SAN JACINTO, SHAKING THE TREE, DIGGING IN THE DIRT and SECRET WORLD!

I'm actually not that big on live albums (I tend to prefer the studio versions) but there are a few I really like:

  • Jethro Tull - "Bursting out"
  • Yes - "Yessongs"
  • Pain of Salvation - "12:5"
  • Deep Purple - "Made in Japan"
  • Thin Lizzy - "Live and dangerous"
  • Kiss - "Alive"
  • Genesis - "Live"

 
All the best,
Per

They don't do it on the stage anymore vol.2...ahhh.....

How many volumes are there 4? 5?

As far as I understand, the Helsinki Concert is the only in the series to present a single show. That show being the only one FZ ever did in Finland...

But it's a superb effort. A breath-taking one, I should say.

Funny though, know one seems to have met anyone who attended that show...

Or are they perhaps afraid that we, the jealous, would be giving them a true bashing if they rejoiced themselves being in the crowd?

I'm with you on 'Bursting Out' and 'Made In Japan'

On another slightly separate point, Mr Fripp of Crimson claims that studio albums are secondary to Crimson's live performances. He likes the energy of the meeting between band and audience.

Quite a thing to say when you consider some of the albums Crimson have made but as ever, I digress...

Yes. I went to the concerts they played here in my city in 1998, 1999 and 2002. I couldn`t attend their 2004 concert here. I hope that I could find some recordings from all these concerts. Seeing very good bands playing live in auditoriums is a very good experience.

I also like the YES` "House of YES-Live from the House of Blues" album. Igor Khoroshev`s playing in "Awaken" is very good.

Guillermo,

 

Having seen Kansas twice this year I can say that Mr. Walsh's voice is back. Hear for yourself.  He is currently working on a solo project and here is a link to some clips from that project.

It was my first LP purchase ever and a brilliant live album.

I also like this album, recorded on tour in 1973  with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section as members of the band. They are very good musicans: Roger Hawkins (great drums in all the songs), David Hood (bass) and Barry Beckett (keyboards). It was the time when Jim Capaldi wasn`t playing drums all the time as he liked more to be at the front of the stage playing various percussion instruments along with Reebop Kwaku- Baah. Capaldi is also credited as drummer in this album, but I can`t say in which songs he  played the drums. Very good improvisations. But Winwood sounds a bit tired, in my opinion

My favourite is the first album I ever bought - Genesis Live.

However other notable mentions go to :

  • Twelfth Night - Live At The Target
  • Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine
  • Yes - Yessongs
  • ELP - Welcome Back...
  • Genesis - Seconds Out

All worth a listen.
