Generally I’m not a fan of live recordings but the two LPs I keep going back to are Dance Craze ([https://www.discogs.com/Various-Dance-Craze/release/387807](https://www.discogs.com/Various-Dance-Craze/release/387807)) and Donny Hathaway self titled live LP ([https://www.discogs.com/Donny-Hathaway-Live/release/1769822](https://www.discogs.com/Donny-Hathaway-Live/release/1769822)) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/km2aIIphTi4/hqdefault.jpg "The Specials - Concrete Jungle (Live 1979)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km2aIIphTi4) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMtUP\_U-nGc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMtUP_U-nGc) ---

Killer Peel session from the only band that tried to mix British prog with punk in the late 70s [https://youtu.be/xASsqq3qK18](https://youtu.be/xASsqq3qK18) Johnny Rotten cited this vocalist as an inspiration, and you can hear why. Also, was Guy Evans (behind the kit on this track) low key one of the best British drummers of his generation? ---

I would have loved to go to that Specials’ gig. At 12 I would have probably got my head kicked in though. ---

Not as weird as it was for my mate who used to make beats for her to sing over whilst sat in his tiny Adelaide bedroom! ---

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/rv4wf7bzfFE/maxresdefault.jpg "Vulfpeck Live at Madison Square Garden") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv4wf7bzfFE) Honestly, this entire performance. I’m in awe of these guys in every way - packed MSG, they’re having a blast, switching instruments, and killing it. This is what live music should be, they made that huge arena feel like a club. ---

When I saw the thread title this instantly sprung to mind. Totally passed me by at the time then picked up a couple of mint Lp’s some years ago. When I put the live album on I was properly wowed by what came out of the speakers ---

Time to resurrect this thread! Lets have em https://www.youtube.com/embed/FeyZJf8h_wY?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays “Gypsy Eyes”, by Jimi Hendrix at Jazz Jamboree, Warsaw, Poland, 23rd October, 1976 Featuring: Gil Evans (conductor, electric piano); Jon Faddis, Lew Soloff (trumpet); Janice Robinson (trombone) Bob Stewart (tuba) John Clark (french horn); George Adams (tenor sax); Pete Levin (keyboards) Van Manacas (g) Mike Richmond (bass) Sue Evans (drums) This is so funky! Check out **Sue Evans** (no relation to Gil) on drums. I was unaware of her before this clip so I looked her up and wow, what a resume! _In the 1970s, she worked with Steve Kuhn, Art Farmer, Bobby Jones, George Benson, Urbie Green and Roswell Rudd’s Jazz Composers Orchestra, in addition to playing with The New York Pops, the New York Philharmonic, the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra._ _In the 1980s, she worked with Michael Franks, Mark Murphy, Suzanne Vega, Tony Bennett, and Morgana King. Other associations include touring or recording with Aretha Franklin, Sting, Spike Lee, James Brown, Billy Cobham, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Philip Glass, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Don Sebesky, Sadao Watanabe, Hubert Laws, Randy Brecker, David Sanborn and Terence Blanchard._ [Previous page](https://forum.testpressing.org/t/killer-live-versions/1730.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forum.testpressing.org/t/killer-live-versions/1730.md?page=4)
