some live albums are genius, and capture a band at a time when they just fucking rule all.
however, most live albums are anything BUT live. they overdub the guitar solos, they add canned audience sounds, they clean up the vocal tracks and such. it is all a load of shit really
best live albums ever are
NEIL YOUNG AND CRAZY HORSE
LIVE RUST
RUST NEVER SLEEPS
I love them because you can hear all trhe "mstakes" and the shitjust blows me away.
LIKE A HURRICANE on LIVE RUST contaions the chunkiest most skronkariffic crashing chords I ahve ever heard. they sound like an airliner crashing to the ground.
