There’s a possibility the crowd singing along to “…til I’m buuuried, buried in my grave” is my favourite bit of any album ever.

An advert for how good 20 minute gigs could be.

Probably not even my favourite Springsteen live album overall, actually, but the peaks are incredible.

EDIT: The more I think about it, the Springsteen one could be subbed out for Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall, The Band - Rock of Ages, or a pretty huge number of others.

Mine should be weld really, or Live Rust, or Roxy: Tonight’s the Night, or Filmore East or Massey Hall. Bit I absolutely love Unplugged and have some real formative memories attached to it.

The Armed - Ultrapop Live At The Masonic
Kiss - Alive
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison

Oooof very good shout.

  1. 65daysofstatic - Decomposition Theory
  2. Orbital - Live at Glastonbury
  3. Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison

Very rarely listen to live albums tbh. That 65dos album is the only format in which most of those tracks exist (and possibly will ever exist?). Saw it live and it’s the best I’ve ever seen them - felt like a total deconstruction and off kilter rebuild of their sound. Lovely stuff…
