I bet that was a good night out! I saw them a few times, the best one being the 'biggie' at Earls Court in July 73... what a gig that was... we had Alex Harvey and the SAHB on first, and fair play to the guy, he wasn't intimidated by the billing and got everybody jumping.
We were on a double header that weekend - we saw Slade on the Sunday night then Bowie at the Odeon, Hammersmith on the Monday night (the penultimate gig to his 'retirement of the band' announcement).
A day or two later, Don Powell wrecked his car, killing his girfriend and almost himself as well. It was months before he was back in the saddle.
They were wild days - I never thought I'd be around to write about it 50 years later, that's for sure...

Some live albums like stop making sense by Talking Heads and others have a lot of overdubbed post production.
I do really like the live album as proof of real musicians ability to play over and above the tricks of studio recording.
Probably why back in time I used to buy live bootleg tapes at record fares which on reflection sounded like they were recorded in the bottom of a dustbin (with some notable exceptions)
Parkerilla by Graham Parker and the Rumour was mentioned earlier
Get yer ya ya's out by the stones is a classic from 1969

There are dozens of good ones, but I can't see this mentioned, which is a surprise given how many old gits are on WHO...
Slayed Alive
It really creates that frantic atmosphere the band generated on stage. It was released in March 1972... just over 50 YEARS ago. The way I was living then, I certainly didn't expect to be sat here 50 years later, writing about it... Happy days.

Never been keen on official live albums. Most were re-dubbed in the studio or consist of bits from different gigs. Or had the life mixed out of them. So they don't give that feeling of 'being there'
Always tended to prefer bootlegs.
Official live albums that I do like are:
Marillion - Real to Reel
Marillion - Live at Cadagon Hall (I was there)
Marillion 10th anniversary Wembley 1992 (I was there)
Manfred Mann's EB - Budapest Live
Mostly Autumn - Pink Floyd Revisited ( I was there)
Brian May live in Brixton (I was there)
and the recordings of concerts included on the recent Marillion box sets.

Quite like Ummagumma, live and studio LPs.
Apparently, the critics liked it, then didn't like it. Not that I care

Not the best live album as such as it pretty patchy.
It does have one of my favourite live songs in I gotta right.
Just a brillant racket.

Jaysus Takaashi Miike every time someone agrees with me on here, from Madeline Smith to Talking Heads, it's always you. We must be birds of a certain feather.

I agree, Talking Heads were much better live with Adrian Belew in the line up

Lots of mentions for Stop Making Sense so far. Disc 2 of the Name of This Band is Talking Heads is much better musically by a mile. As a spectacle I think the David Byrne American Utopia show is up there with Stop Making Sense.
I can't remember the name of the album but the recording of That Petrol Emotion's farewell show is fantastic.
Tackhead's Live album is brilliant too.
Finally Modern Lovers Live is a dopey classic.

I saw Dury at Gants Hill Odeon a couple of times. Was working taking photographs one of the nights. Still got a framed pic on my wall. Great shot if I say so myself.
