Light Fuse Get Away is peak WSP. Mikey just laying it all out there. I still love panic, but the Houser era was something special

Gov’t Mule - Live With A Little Help From Our Friends.  Was at this NYE ‘98 show.  Holds the record for longest show by a single band I ever saw.

Siouxsie & the Banshees - Nocturne

Cure - Entreat Plus  London July ‘89.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense.  The recent ‘23 remaster has gorgeous audio

Iron Maiden - Live After Death

Motörhead - *No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith

Hawkwind - Space Ritual

Queensryche - Operation: Livecrime

Miles Davis - Agharta, Pangaea, Dark Magus, Cellar Door Sessions, etc.

Tons of live jazz releases plus plenty of others I’m forgetting.

I like your style, dude. I don’t have that live cure from 89. I am getting that asap. What do you think of Paris and Show?

u/__perigee__ avatar

Definitely love Show and Paris, bought both when they came out.  Was lucky to catch them on the Wish tour.

Shh on the the 1975. I still need to secure my want list.

Bill Frisell east/west and further east/west as well as his live trio with Kermit Driscoll and Joey Baron. Hell, any live Bill Frisell. Miles Davis: everything recorded live but especially four and more, live/evil, and plugged nickel. All of John Coltrane live at the village vanguard in the early 60s. Monk solo, monk with trane, monk at the pawnshop. Fela Kuti’s live stuff. James Brown love power peace. There are many many live albums I love. Mostly jazz if it isn’t GD or JGB. Lots of edits because I kept thinking of stuff that could be considered favorites of mine. At one point or another I listened to each of these exclusively for weeks straight. But I get a bit obsessive about whatever music is great for me at any given moment.

ALRIGHTY So i know to original Byrds were notoriously shoddy performers but did y'all know they turned into a lightning-powered country rock jam band in the latter half of their career? After Crosby and Gene Clark left and Gram swiped up Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke to go make the Flying Burrito Brothers, the new lineup of

Roger McGuinn and Clarence White on dueling lead, Skip Battin on bass (also in the Burritos AND The New Riders) and Gene Parsons (incredible dude) on drums was incredible and lit up stages across the US and Europe from '69-'72 till Terry Melcher ruined their reputation. Every deadhead who reads this comment, PLEASE give these two

The Byrds: Live at the Fillmore West 1969

Garcia Live Vol 11 (11/11/93). SO good. The mission in the rain solo to last verse brings me to tears often.

I wish there was an actual almum of only HIS Woodstock set rather than the whole Woodstock..but Johnny Winter's Woodstock set was the best blues playing ever to me. The Woodstock version of Be Careful With a Fool was another level of guitar playing. I wish Johnny Winter played with Jerry just once. I can only find that set in Spotify tho

u/the_invisible_zebra avatar

Guess what? There IS an album with just his Woodstock set (or, at least, it is disc 2 of this reissue of his self-titled album, anyway).
