Oh look, another 70's live album. Shocking.

Getting prepped for the sequel book. 1001 70s Live Albums You Need to Roll Your Eyes To.

I assume we're still due for Frampton Comes Alive in this current book?

 

[Nee Lewman]

I was wrong about it being the best live album we’ve pulled, but it is the best 70s Live album we’ve pulled.

I would assume so… I’m too lazy to go check it now. (I’ve never listened to that album or any Peter Frampton album.)

I only listen to it because someone I used to work with was getting rid of a few records and gave me a few. Mostly 70's classic rock stuff. Frampton Comes Alive was one of them. I don't have it anymore but I remember the sides were in a strange order.

For the record, I'm perfectly fine with The Who Live at Leeds. Never been a big fan of the long stories between some of the songs.

Sounds like a changer record. So good old record changers allowed you to load a disc so that when one side played, the next record would drop and play. These records get fun sides like 1/4 and 2/3. This way you can use the changer and play the album in order.

Yeah, that's exactly what it was.

Hey @Yer Ol' Uncle D does the original album have all the chatter?

I should mention I usually stream the 14 track version. I just assumed most of the chatter was cut on the 6 song vinyl version.

i would assume so but the album has an interesting history. They had recorded a bunch of that tour and then decided they didn’t want to do the work to make an album from it. They reportedly burned all those tapes. Scheduled the Leeds show with the intent of releasing it and then decided to leave all of the very hot material off of it. Then released it to look like a bootleg to sort of beat the bootleggers to the punch.

And the best of them, Allman Brothers 'At Fillmore East' better be in there.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Hot August Night for the win!!!

[Nee Lewman]

Thank you all for your restraint in allowing me to be the one to contribute Huey Lewis' name as one of the great rock vocalists.

FOR SURE!!!

This album is a prime example why I hate streaming. Trying to find the original album version is impossible. I don’t want the deluxe version or the super deluxe version, I want to listen to it like it I would have if I bought it May 1970 dammit.
