Mystic Slipperman Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I notice that the Allman Brothers At Fillmore East was only mentioned once, and not discussed at all. For shame, music lovers. :tsk: Others: Miles Davis Quintet- Live at the Plugged NickelJames Brown- Love Power Peace (L'Olympia, Paris, 1971)Charles Mingus- Live at Antibes, 1960Bill Evans- Sunday at the Village Vanguard I'll think of more. But I thought some more jazz and soul ought to be represented here, and these were the first, off the top of my head. WORD. Miles Davis Quintet - Four And More/My Funny Valentine (two GREAT albums that belong together!), Bootleg Series Vol. 1 (Europe 67) Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby/Sunday at the Village Vanguard - they are meant to be a pair, as they are part of the same set of concerts. Weather Report - 8:30 John Coltrane - Afro Blue Impressions Charles Mingus - Town Hall Concert Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall Earth, Wind & Fire - Gratitude I have never heard that Miles set. 1967 was a very interesting transitional time, and a largely unheralded year for Miles, which that set helps to remedy. I need to get that. Mingus' Town Hall Concert is outta sight! I'll pull that one out sometime later this week. I had forgotten that Waltz For Debby was a live recording. (And I just listened to it a couple of months ago!). The "Bootleg" series for Miles are really wonderful thus far. I've not heard all of them yet, but Vol 1 (Europe 1967) and the complete Fillmore 1970 are KILLER. Highly recommended :) Gosh yes. What a feast for the ears they ALL are.Actually, live jazz albums...that's where it's at. A few of my favourites, should anyone care: Art Blakey: A Night At Birdland Vol 1 and 2Art Blakey - Au Club St GermainArt Blakey - Au Theatre Champs ElyssesElla Fitzgerald - At The Opera HouseErrol Garner - Concert By The SeaCannonball Adderley - At The LighthouseThe Buddy Rich Big Band - Mercy Mercy MercyMiles Davis - Miles In BerlinMiles Davis - Cookin' At The Plugged NickelOscar Peterson - The Trio Live From ChicagoAhmad Jamal Trio - Live At The Pershing Lounge vol 1 and 2Dizzy Gillespie - Dizzy On The French RivieraNina Simone - At The Village Gate You did me in with the very first one you listed there. How could I have forgotten A Night at Birdland?? (I am even a drummer, myself!). Art was something, wasn't he? What a leader, drummer and man he was. Indeed. So many great jazz drummers...but I'd say he and Max Roach were the earliest who really innovated with the drums as a lead instrument. Blakey, Roach, and Tony Williams were the vanguard of that, in my opinion. With all due respect to Neil, Tony Williams is my favorite drummer of all - time.. just incredible. Speaking of Art Blakey... The "Meet You At The Jazz Corner Of the World" and "At The Jazz Corner" (similar titles but different releases) albums SMOKE!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 just heard Tarkus from ELP's live "Welcome Back My Friends" remaster. DAYAM..... One of my favorite live albums of all-time and it could be my most listened to Emerson, Lake and Palmer album ever.. I just wish it was recorded properly. It's still amazing, but it could have been SO much better as a listening experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still amazing, but it could have been SO much better as a listening experience. I am still hoping that one day they will attempt a remix of it. The most recent remaster (released a few months ago) is the closest to the sound of the original vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall the master tapes are either in rough shape or lost but the performances rise above all of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
