    It was a great album but it wasn't live :roll:
    Big Country live without a safety net is a good album

    Surely it was live - there's singing by the audience at one point

    I like the bit in Deep Purple's "Made in Japan" (a proper live album, with a gatefold sleeve, big enough to rest on your knee and do origami on), during the track "Child in Time", during a quiet bit, where the door slams really loudly as some bored chap from Tokyo tries to sneak out for a pee.

    I like it because they didn't have the technology in those days to soundbrush it out: it is just there, reminding you that you are at the concert and half the people in your row have just turned their heads to go SHHHHHHHHHHH!

    I also like to play Jackson Browne's seminal road album "Running on Empty", with all its self-indulgent stuff about how noble the roadie is and then stick on Zappa's "Joe's Garage" for a startlingly hilarious antidote (e.g. "Crew Slut".)

    Anyone guess just how old I really am?

    Thanks pneumatic!


    Modern bands probably owe more than they realise to their crowd control skills.

    If you want to know the distance between 1972 and 1977, listen to the Led Zeppelin BBC session live, introduced by John Peel. The audience actually clap. No spitting, no pogo, no stripping off, no stage diving; they just clap in appreciation. There is, however, a little ill-mannered whistling at one point!

    It caused a hulla ballo when it first came out as it had been overdubbed in the studio.Im a big fan of Lizzy and lucky enough to see them live.Its a great album wether it was overdubbed or not.

    Saw them at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 1981 - monster gig! I immediately went out and bought Live and Dangerous. Never knew they had "cheated". Well, well, well.

    Sorry, might have been getting a bit carried away! Strokes might not have been solely responsible for the downfall of Fred Durst and his compatriots but certainly lit a path for a fresh alternative, which as you rightly said is growing stale already. Agree that the Strokes have failed spectacularly to live up to the hype of the first album, although Albert Hammond Jr's solo stuff is really great.

    Also completely agree about King's of Leon. Simply fantastic and their new album is a stonker!

    Good Stuff!

    we won't be talking about the current crop of indie bands in 10 years - you just wait

    I leterally can't tell them apart,from razor ferdinand to franz kooks....yada yada yada - i reckon its ther same 4 people having a massive laugh - then to top it all off they did that umbrella song as thyefinal joke

    Lizzy's Live and Dangerous is brilliant but gave away CD because it sounded crap has it been Remastered ?

    Jethro Tull's Bursting Out was always my favourite, good music played well and lots of banter with the audience.

    Tend to find a lot of stuff i like at Tapecity.org sound wonderful bootlegs on there :D

    The Go-betweens DVD 'That Stripped Sunlight Sound' which came with the same show on CD was the first live album/DVD I have bought it years. Anyway it's ace.
