Re: What LIVE Albums Are Perfection, Start to Finish?

Both mentioned above...

Foghat Live is great, worth it for that version of Fool for the City alone.

Sam Cooke at Harlem Square Club is excellent, too. This also belongs in the "Actually Live" thread.

Re: TESTAMENT: 2nd Single and Video - "Shadow People"

Kickass song. And I rather like the video, too. The whole Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark art style has always been nice & creepy and it fits well here.

Re: What LIVE Albums Are Perfection, Start to Finish?

Somehow completely forgot about UFO - Strangers, U2 - Blood Red Sky and Rush - 'Stage, mentioned above. Those 3 are excellent.

I'll add these too:

Guess Who - Live at the Paramount
Uriah Heep - Live January 1973

Those don't get mentioned much and are both awesome.

Re: Band members who don't wear shoes on stage

Ronnie Van Zant used to be barefoot on stage so he could "feel" the music through the stage, or he said something to that effect. I think Ozzy did for awhile too in the 80s, at least in some videos. I've seen videos of Samantha Fish and some other random women country artists on my FB reel...

Re: PIERCINGS ... Thoughts on grown Men or Women over 30 with a Nose, Lip, Eyebrow Piercings? And ear gauges!

I've never liked piercings on women other than earrings. The worst is the septum piercing. They can definitely be overdone. And I'm with you on the septum...then when you're talking to them it's hard to look them in the eyes cuz you keep seeing metal in their nostrils. Navel piercings were and can ...

I get how it can be unsettling or seem strange that older people are so decked out in piercings and/or tattoos. And a lot of it, depending how/where/what it is, can look ridiculous and downright off-putting. But at the same time, to each their own, ya know? People express themselves or decorate them...

More or less, yeah. Depends on who is playing on what.

Frontiers is a good example. Agreed that a lot of their project records sound the same but some are really good with the right veteran guys like the two recent Black Swan albums.

One of those things in the OP is not like the other. George Jones isn't 2025 country, and the bro country types aren't even in the same league as he was, but I digress. Classic country: Jones, Haggard, Jennings, Nelson (who is still out there doing it at 92), Hank, even groups like Alabama, or duos ...
