James Blunt - Chasing Time The Bedlam Sessions

Surely there's a law against this kind of thing. :O

I like it.

They are the lame sheeplike ones, not you.

Disc 1 was live, disc 2 was compositions by the individual members recorded in the studio, so technically not a complete live album.

Something for everyone here.

Bruce Springsteen – Hammersmith Odeon London ‘75

Caetano Veloso — Totalmente Demais

Toure Kunda — Live Paris-Ziguinchor

Neil Young & Crazy Horse — Rust Never Sleeps

Talking Heads — The Name of this Band is Talking Heads

If you like Brazilian music, do give the Caetano Veloso a spin. Ditto for Toure Kunda: great West African crossover stuff.

That's OK, as this is What Hifi technical matters are excluded.

 

[the record spot]

Technical nitpicking comments really not getting tiresome at all. If it bugs you so much, go elsehwere. Seems like the smart move no?

 

[Tear Drop]

Some live recordings I like:

Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys

Böhm's Bayreuth Ring Cycle

The Orb - Live '93

Zappa In New York

I always preferred The Who's Isle Of Wight to their Live At Leeds set (both great though)

DJ Shadow - Live! In Tune & On Time
