No other recording shows The Who in the entirety of their talents. Listening to Pete Townshend, at his most explosive leading the band through the shattering rock ‘n’ roll medley at the end of the set is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
Definitely one of the finest of many good live albums from the early seventies, catching the live beast that was Steppenwolf at the peak of their undoubted powers.

Two concerts were recorded at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester and De Montfort Hall, Leicester, on the band’s tour of the UK supporting the Foxtrot. (Magnificent they were too.)

This is the story of the Welsh rock ‘n’ roll band ‘Man,’ not the people. This Dog can understand rock ‘n’ roll; people are a lot trickier. Part one revolves around the recently released live greatest hits album sensibly titled ‘Man Alive.’
When ‘Live’ came out in 1977, it turned Foghat into one of America’s top-drawing live acts.
Grand Funk Railroad storms through all the highlights from their first five albums. The medley of ‘I’m Your Captain/Closer to Home/Hooked on Love/Get it Together’ is the true work of artists playing at the peak of their powers. Turn it up to 11 and enjoy.
After early success with a one-off single, Whisky in the Jar in 1972, things had reached a nadir during a tour of Germany in early 1974. The fabulous “Live and Dangerous” album captures the hard rockin’, hard livin’ Thin Lizzy at the pinnacle of their powers.
Recorded live at the Matrix Club in the San Francisco Bay Area by its manager over two shows in 1967, it’s a wonderful glimpse into a b gone era, capturing the essence of the Summer of Love’s Darkside.
The, for long hidden, much sought after nest egg of the recordings of UFO’s 1978 tour of America, displayed here in all its glory over eight CDs, including six complete concerts taken from the original tapes. Plus a remastered version of the 1979 release Strangers in the Night, a live double album compiled from these concerts.
