    Byrds: Untitled 2Lp set (1x Live, 1X Studio)

    The live disc is superb, a band at their peak IMHO every track just chugs into the next. After 45 years this still gets played at least every month or so either at home or thru the Ipod at work.

    check out utube for live filmore footage from this period.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    The sad thing about many live albums is that the "live"-ness is polished out of them.

    Increasingly in my listening I look for the performance more than the production, and I love the spontaneity of live music. For example if you listen to, ahem, unofficial recordings from the 70s, say Led Zeppelin, the gaps between songs are significant and there's a lot of ad libbing, eg Plant meanders all over the shop with descriptions of the tour. They give you a sense of an event, an evening with... That's before you consider all of the instrumental improvisations which are different from night to night, including the odd bum note and wrong-turning, making each a one-off experience. That's how it really was, but not on the official releases.

    Many bands that I like have delivered desperately dull live albums. I remember my teenage disappointment at Rush's "Exit Stage Left..." and Queen's "Live Killers". I reckon that if Adele releases a live album it'll be indistinguishable from the studio versions, other than having canned O2 Arena applause inserted between tracks.

    Out of the above list I'm familiar with "Stop Making Sense" and "Live And Dangerous" and they're both absolute crackers - creating a real sense of an event. Great recommendations.

    For this reason I really appreciate the BBC's live broadcasts because although they're in lossy format they're unmolested. I've got into artists as diverse as Lana Del Ray, Gary Clark Jr and Renn Harvieu thanks to the Beeb's live output.

    Pete
