Queen....'Live Killers' sounded almost exactly as the show I saw in Kalamazoo '78. A REAL shame that 'Somebody To Love' was not included. 'Live Magic' was terrible in editing and pix and just everything. I only knew it existed back in the day was because I would stop at Wazoo Records, and purchased the Canadian vinyl
'Wembley'....except for Brian's guitar sounding off due to the wind and stadium...what a treat! Montreal and Milton Keynes sounds are superb. The track listings lack at times, but the shows are terrific.
'Rainbow' March and November '74......WOW! I mean, 'WOW!' Superb!
'Odeon' (Hammersmith'75)....I had the bootleg DVD years before, the audio decades before. The band doing BoRhap in various segments hurts, but it is more than worth a listen
*************
Not mentioned....Bruce '75-85'. A more than fair offering, though the cost, exclusions, different eras, and the fact that it was not just one show, really hurt. But, it is 'good+'. A shame it wasn't a three or four vinyl show from '85.
Previously mentioned: Journey 'Captured': too loud of fake crowd noise, the pace is as if they were all on speed, and I HATE the fact that 'Wheel In The Sky/Anyway You Want It' has zero gap for crowd applause. Thank goodness for the '3' version.
That same fake loud crowd noise ruins KISS 'Alive II' (as well as Side 4 being studio cuts), as well as Qryche's 'Operation: Livecrime'.
Van Halen, 'Right Here, Right Now': Too many F.U.C.K. tracks, no 'Black And Blue', the 'You Really Got Me/Cabo Wabo' medley'. It COULD have been one of the best live albums ever.
Led Zeppelin, 'The Song Remains The Same'....the original vinyl was such a boring cluster, the remaster not so bad. 'How The West Was Won' is A+.
Oh, and two snaps and a clap for 'Score'.
