I was going to say, I wonder why SABB isn't on there.

Hey Jon, Wink

it's a bit of a deviation from the OP's demand, since it's not a "studio album" either.

I mean, we're 1/4 live (side 3), 1/4 singles (not available on 33 RPM), 1/4 released from existing albums (therefore a compilation) and 1/4 as-yet unreleased-at-all stuff  at the times (the future bonus tracks of Aqualung).

But I loved that release Hug>> I even bothered acquiring it as a Mini-Lp, while still having the old vinyl.WackoLOL

Allman Brothers Band : Eat a peach ( Mountain Jam is a live epic)
Marillion : A brief encounter ( Lady Nina as the studio track and half a dozen of live cuts)

I Forgot to actually cast a vote; i'll go for Steve Hillage as no-one has given it a vote. Better live Hillage material has surfaced and been released in more recent years but its pretty good stuff and the studio side material is very under-rated and has been revisited by Steve on his recent live outings.

Another lp which i think probably qualifies is 'Watch' by Manfred Manns Earth band.. Davy's on the road again and The Mighty Quinn are both un-doctored live recordings and would make up the best of one sideSmileThumbs Up

Fair enough, but then some of his albums still count. Uncle Meat, Weasels..., Burnt Weeny..., Tinseltown... (on a technicality), Ship Arriving... all fit.

Yes, but that would be a Zappa pollSmile

Weather Report's I Sing The Body Electric is also 1/2 live (you'll find the exact tracks on the Band's double live Live In Tokyo 1972)

Good call for Family's Anyways too, BTW. Clap

^ Obviously your choice not mine but that was the album that made my fall out love with TFK. They have redeemed themselves with recent albums though at least in my eyes.

Does Meet the Flower Kings fit the citeria? The album was recorded mostly live in the studio, with multiple takes and a shіt ton of overdubs (for example Hans Fröberg's vocals were all done in the studio and he was only lipsynching on the set), and the audience was more like a sitcom audience rather than a concert crowd.

Family- Anyway Side one is 4 live tracks recorded at the Fairfield hall 1971 and side two is 4 studio tracks recorded at Olympic studios. Pretty much the definitive 'half and half' live/ studio lp of the early 70's

My feeble answer is that they were released long after the 'classic timeframe', however defined, that I was using as a sub-conscious reference point.  The greater guilty omission is Santana's 'Moonflower'!


On their own adlission, some of the Yes member claim they were hardly at their top for that concert (under-rehearsed).

TBH, if I still spin the KTA once in a while, it's mainly for the studio tracks ... and then, certainly more so, for the KTA2 studio tracks.  I might not even own those two KTA double albums if they'd published the Keystudio tracks as an album proper back then.

Cream's Wheel Of Fire & Goodbye might also be a bit out of time frame (68 & 69 rspectively)



I wouldn't know by the sound of the songs. Many are my favorite versions of them. Particularly Awaken and Starship Trooper, Time and a Word is great too, Don't Kill the Whale, Siberian Khatru. now, the one I do remember not liking so much on this album is Close to the Edge, which was played too slow, and in the organ part, too soft.

Another other: Miles Davis, Live-Evil...not my favorite, but still worth considering.

Hi,

Richard Thompson -- Live More or Less

The first album was from various albums, and the second album had two live versions that were, in my book, the best that RT has ever done both of those pieces. It helps that Dave Pegg was on bass, too! Never have "Night Comes In" and "Calvary Cross" sounded so perfect!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
