Great Live Recordings

Stupidity - Doctor Feelgood

Once saw Dr Feelgood at Cheltenham town hall, a mates band was supporting them so we went along. Not normally my cup of tea but they were excellent and I'm glad I saw them.

Can't believe that no-one's mentioned Miles Davis - live at Carnegie Hall.

Rolling Stones - Stripped

You wouldn't think they'd still be good 30-something years after they got together but I really like this album. They sound different but still fantastic.

was that before or after Dave brubeck Quartet at the Newport Jazz Festival 1958 ? I was loaned a copy and ripped it to CD as well as DB at the College of the Pacific in 1953.

I may have been at that gig. The first time I saw them was at Cheltenham, but they were the support act that night (can't remember to whom, although it may have been Alex Harvey). I did see them there some time later as the headline band - who was the support act?

It was 1961. After Coltrane had left the band, and with Gil Evans doing the orchestra arrangement.

They were indeed, guitarist was a bit dodgy though!

Either The Dockery Boys or Maxwell Street, I can't remember which. Ask delb0y, for he is that mate.

My all-time favourite live recordings are those released each year by American radio station KFOG. The put out a compilation of sessions by artists to varied and numerous to list called 'live from the archives'. The quality is always superb. Annoyingly hard to get hold of but worth it.

Watched The Last Waltz on TV years ago, fantastic. The album never strays far from the Hi-Fi.

Live At Leeds - The Who
The Name Of This Band Is - Talking Heads
Pulse - Pink Floyd
Live At The Apollo - James Brown
Kicking Television - Wilco

But especially Little Feat!
