Gary Moore – We Want Moore

The songs from the main set don’t let up for a second, and in true eighties tradition Moore just blazes his fingers over them. All of the songs are over seven minutes long with extended solos.

The Who – Live at the Isle of Wight 1970

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.

Steppenwolf – Live

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.

Genesis Live 1973

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.) As a result, five songs were released on Genesis Live, which met with great critical acclaim and enthusiasm by the British record-buying public.

Man – Man Alive

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.’

Foghat – Live

When ‘Live’ came out in 1977, it turned Foghat into one of America’s top-drawing live acts.

Grand Funk Railroad – Live. The 1971 Tour

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.
