Case Closed.
Case Closed."
Russ, I was going to respond to this earlier.........
SUPERB choice. One killer album that, unfortunately, seems to go largely ignored.........but is an absolute MUST for any Deep Purple fan............ or rock fan, for that matter.
However, while we're on the topic of fabulous live albums, no list would be complete without:
"The Allman Brothers: Live at the Fillmore East": Just doesn't get much better than this.
"Band of Gypsies" (Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles on drums, Buddy Cox on bass): For those, like me, who just didn't "get" the Hendrix cult of guitar worship for a long time (I thought he was good, but jeez.............), THIS is the album that finally showed what the man could do..........and to this day, I still say "...until "Band of Gypsies", NO one heard the 'true Hendrix' on vinyl". If you haven't heard it, DO so..........and you'll understand.
"Procul Harem: Live": Considered by many "experts", rock writers, etc., to be the finest "live" rock recording ever made. The production quality, the orchestral backing, the stunning fidelity of the recording..............just unbelievable. Get it.
....and truly, in my opinion, the Best for sheer high-energy, in-your-face, kick-out-the-jams rock abandon on a "live" album from the '70's, nothing touches "The Who: Live at Leeds".
Buy it. Listen to it. With headphones. I DARE you to sit still. You'll understand..........
