"Send in the Clowns" as done by Bill (or is it Joe?) Henderson--Classic Records reissue, 45 rpm side, 12 inch single (33rpm side isn't bad either). Takes you right into the nightclub where he performed it. Everyone who's heard this record on my system asks where to get it, even if they hate the song.
Best Live Recording on LP
Someone started an interesting thread about generating a list of great live recordings on CD. However, that is the wrong type of media for my system. (My turntable sounds much better than my CD player).
Therefore, please suggest some really great live recordings on LP. (I listen to Rock mostly and some Jazz.)
Here are a couple of recordings (on LP) that did not appear on that list in the above mentioned thread, that I think have merit.
"Jazz at the Pawnshop" on the Propious (sic) label.
Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary" on 12"/45rpm reissue on the Classic label (I think).
Neil Young's "Live Rust" on Japanese import.
Also, Guys (and Gals), here is a question for you: Is it worth paying the extra money for the 12"/45rpm version of Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie"? Or does the 180g version sound nearly as good?

The defunct Tracking Angle magazine had an article about this. The link will take you to the back issue page and the issue is the last on the page. |
I have a few LP favorites. The quality and intensity of the performances more than makes up for any audiophile shortcomings these recodings may possess: Bob Seger-Live Bullet (Capitol, easy one to find) Jerry Lee Lewis-Live from the Star Club (Germany, import LP) Otis Redding-Live in Europe (early Volt or later Atco) Enjoy!

The Weavers reunion at Carnegie Hall - must be the most realistic recording of voices i have ever heard - particularly Pete Seeger. I listen to this at least once a week. I listen from beginning to end, and by the time the finale ('round the world) comes round I am clapping and singing to "michael rowed the boat ashore". Absolutely stunning. Makes the investment in hardware wholly worthwhile. |
