Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Fishmans, which has the number one live in my list, is now in PA and I wrote an extemporaneous review, which is not dissimilar to how I post to be honest. I like informality. I should have put Portishead in second place.
Bumping this for those that wish to highlight more than classic era albums -- that being what Jared's recent topic is focused on. |

IMO, King Crimson's Live in Chicago is the best prog album I've ever heard. You get a diversified look at all their major eras and some key live tracks written for concerts, like Radical Action II. And I don't think anyone saw the Bowie cover coming. Absent Lovers is another flawless live concert by them. I honestly really prefer them live before the studio, even though their studio works are incredible.

I'm listening to that King Crimson as I speak for the first time. Today has been so much Sufjan Stevens and Fishmans that it is hard to adjust to something that is not either of them. Plenty of diversity in that KC from 2017. For those that don't know, if any here. Fripp played Guitar on Bowie's "Heroes", collaborated on the original song (thanks to Eno), and Scary Monsters, but also that there was a Fripp estate dispute with Bowie's estate over Fripp's crediting on the album "Heroes". I love the song "Heroes". I would post the KC version here but I don't want to get sued. LOL.
Ah, fridge it. Here's the one from Berlin in 2016. Here is David Byrne's, who also collaborated with Eno, cover with choir that I like a lot. It's one of my favourite songs. |

Besides the usual from me, Danny Gatton's Redneck Jazz Explosion, recorded at the Cellar Door, Washington DC in 1978 and released in 1995 has always been one of my favorite live albums. The cover with a Hydrogen Bomb explosion sums up that live performance. Gatton absolutely shreds on his Telecaster.
When your admirers are a diverse group of guitar players such as Steve Vai, Lenny Breau, Trey Anastasio, Les Paul, Albert Lee, Vince Gill, Slash, James Burton, Buckethead and Joe Bonamassa you know you have the goods. Another one who left us to soon. Edited by Big Sky - 7 hours 56 minutes ago at 21:40 |
