Rock n Roll was meant to be listened to and seen live; real people doing the thing that they have given their hearts and souls into usually since the time they were very young! What is more kick ass than guitars and drums and amps and lights and smoke and anticipation, but when recorded they often lack, either the sound quality or the performers aren't in their proper frame of mind, if you get my drift, or things are done in the studio that cannot be duplicated in a live setting.
Here are some acceptions coincidently from shows at a little place called The Hammersmith Odeon!
Bruce could straight RIP! I.M. was always tight, Harris always immulated UFO in live should sound like the recording, thanks Steve!
Not the famous Christmas shows from'75, but from '79, Roger in all his awesomeness!
Ziggy retires but we get '73 Forever!
I know what you are thinkin" with that title "wherez me bleedin' Mota'ead"! Well "No Sleep" was not recorded at the Hammersmith! Just like Lemmy to keep us on our toes! So here is something recorded somewhere else!
Strangers in the Night maybe the best live album ever....this is a couple years earlier. I've never seen this! Oh shit! The Tank has big metal goose bumps! I took off my shirt too! Oh shit!!! I forgot all about the damn Hammersmith! THIS RULES!
WATCH THIS AGAIN!!
