Love You Live

The bonus version of Some Girls made me think of this album.

Pulse

76 minutes of Pink Floyd here.



And 70 more minutes here.

It's unfortunate that the only official Floyd live albums are from the latter Gilmour-Mason-Wright era, and that Pulse is the only Floyd album on spotify.

Live 1967

Next live album: Hey Hey, it's the Monkees



The Live 1967 album came out during the mid-80s Monkees revival, and showed that they really could sing and play, and really were in the young generation, and really did have something to say.

Really. Just like a real band. And hopefully, someday, they'll be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, over Jann Wenner's dead body.

How The West Was Won

I borrowed this album from the library a few years ago, and disc one still slays me.

One For The Road

Today's live album is One For The Road, which was my gateway to the Kinks.



OFTR was my first Kinks album, so I learned most of these classics from the live versions. I knew them from the songs played on the radio like "Lola" and "Superman", but discovered many new favorites that turned out to be old favorites because they were all from the mid-60s. A few months later, I picked up Spotlight On The Kinks with the original studio versions of these songs and never looked back. Rock bands will come, rock bands will go, but rock and roll will go on forever!

One Night In November

Next live album: Gotta Let This Hen Out



This was my second exposure to RH (after Fegmania!) and the first time I heard most of the Soft Boys songs. I still don't know the studio version of "Listening To the Higsons" as well as this live version.

Dead Reckoning

My next live album. One of my all-time favs, even after thirty years.
