I heard the Police were great live- stands to reason why I love my Police albums so much. I did see Sting perform live and it was very nice (not a big fan of his stuff, though). Same with Peter Gabriel- not a big fan- but WHOA! A great live performance/sound.
Anyone ever see Earth Wind and Fire perform? Don't laugh! What about Neil Diamond? Two GREAT live perfromances with great live sound- wouldn't get caught dead with either's recordings in my collection, though.
Funny how that is...
Sad to hear Little Feat didn't have a good live thing- excellent musicianship.
Speaking of Stevie- That Fleetwood Mac release
The Dance- was a (mostly) a terrible mix! if the live thing was anywhere near that- I would have left.
My greatest desires for live performances are that of musicians no longer alive.
I would LOVE to have heard Coltrane, Art Pepper, Muddy Waters, Hendrix, etc...(fill in your own great). Would love to have been front row during Brubek at Carnegie!
