There's nothing better than experiencing music live. In fact, some of the best versions of classic songs are live versions.

I lived in Iowa until 1979. Seeing bands like Peter Frampton and REO Speedwagon playing in a farmfield to HUGE crowds was the norm.

An old high school friend from Iowa found me recently on Fakebook and said he remembered how I'd said "Frampton Comes Alive" was going to change music forever.

Honest to God, I don't remember saying any such thing. I do remember playing that album on my turntable until it wore out, and years later the guy who'd invented the mouth guitar that Peter Frampton used on "Frampton Comes Alive" would be a fellow Ham Radio guy who INVENTED that mouth guitar, and who's microphone line I own as part of my own ham radio hobby.

Who knew?

And BTW: I wasn't a big Bob Seger fan back in the day, but now? HELL YEAH. "Turn the Page" is a big time fav. of mine.

The only one I can really claim is Reasons by Earth, Wind and Fire.

Live is stunningly better than the excellent studio version. Verdine White on bass, Don Myrick with huge sax solo and of course the unparalleled Philip Bailey on vocals.

If you've heard it, you know. If you haven't heard it, you're missing out.

Every single piece of music in the 70s was a helleva lot better live than anything done in the studio! Those were the days!

SO TRUE!
