Strangers in the night has to be up there as one of the most disappointing albums I have purchased.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 2:51 pm Live at Leeds underwhelmed me when i bought it, for how amazeballs everyone said it was.
6 whole songs, 3 of them moldy oldies.... whee!!
The Lizzy and UFO ones cant be all that, due to the fact that they are very likely full of Lizzy and UFO songs.
The best bit about Alive II is side 4 and the new studio songs.Chip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:03 pm Of those, how could it be anything other than Frampton?
My write-in vote is for Alive II. Shit's too fast!
I like the Alive II version of GOT, except it would be nice to edit out the drum solo.pieceofme wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:11 pmThe best bit about Alive II is side 4 and the new studio songs.Chip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:03 pm Of those, how could it be anything other than Frampton?

I thought you liked the alive II version of God of Thunder? The studio version is for superior imo.
I will have to agree with this. Tokyo Tapes too. It’s recorded right before they learned to write good songs.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 2:51 pm Live at Leeds underwhelmed me when i bought it, for how amazeballs everyone said it was.

Not me! Must be Mr. Ramone.
Agree with this. This was apparently the last tour they did without backing musicians and when you hear it you understand why. Even if almost all lead vocals are re-recorded in the studio and so is the guitar on a few tracks. This is probably Stones heresy but I prefer Flashpoint from the Steel Wheels tour. It sounds like the band did on that tour, backing musicians and all.Whatever Happened To… wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 5:22 am Always thought the Stones sounded like shit on Ya-Yas, timing totally off, clunky playing, terrible vocals, the songs really drag.

KISS Rock Bottom > UFO Rock Bottom
I've said for years that World Wide Live and Live Bites is the perfect live double album from them. Tokyo Tapes is...fine.Psychobolia.com wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 4:26 pm The only ones I know here - Stones/Scorps/Who - are def not favourites of mine...
I voted for Scorps cuz it pales in comparison to World Wide Live which is a... ***banger***.
Tokyo sounds good. Good performance too. They just hadn’t written anything listenable at that point.Anthrax442 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 7:53 amI've said for years that World Wide Live and Live Bites is the perfect live double album from them.

Absolute hilarity. Ya Yas is fantastic.Whatever Happened To… wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 5:22 am Always thought the Stones sounded like shit on Ya-Yas, timing totally off, clunky playing, terrible vocals, the songs really drag. Did they ever figure out how to play Jumpin' Jack Flash live? Amazing single but live, awful. Honky Tonk Women is excruciating live as well.
Live At Leeds, never understood the love for this, the tracklist is awful.
Wrong. Other than a few dubs of Richards background vocals, it's all Jagger live. But you are correct about a few guitar overdubs. Still, a great album.Love_Industry wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2025 6:33 amAgree with this. This was apparently the last tour they did without backing musicians and when you hear it you understand why.

An underrated live album is Accept's Staying A Life. The second live album from their 1985 Japan tour (after the dreadful Kaizoku-Ban) released five years after it was recorded and when the band had split up so it kind of disappeared.

I went the other direction not being a KISS fan and getting Alive II for christmas, so I only knew those tempos. Hearing the studio versions later I didn't click with the slower tempos and production at all. So many more dirty/layered guitars on Alive II as well. DRC prime example. I've come around a bit on the studio versions but still greatly prefer Alive II.Chip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:28 pmNot me! Must be Mr. Ramone.
That song might be the most egregious example of these wayward tempos. It doesn't need to be Melvins slow but it does require a little bit of groove to it--A LITTLE BIT OF STANK.
Sped up, it's just boogie rock.
