This pick is purely subjective. Well I guess all my compilations are based on my picks, so they are all subjective. But I think this may generate some differences in opinion. Because how do you decide? Well I don't know exactly, but this is what I came up with. First I have to say that many times, I like the studio versions better than live versions. But not in this case. Comparing the live recorded version to the studio version, I chose these to be better live. Tell me what other songs I should have put in here. In the meantime, listen to this playlist pick.

First off, I made a post (on my blog) to apologize for several comments "awaiting," with about half a dozen of yours. I apologize - I thought I had the settings correct (it should be corrected now). I also set up email notifications for a just-in-case scenario. Anyway...
ReplyDeleteGood topic! I agree with Skynyrd, Frampton, and KISS. As for Cheap Trick - I kinda like the studio version but not sure if more than the live cut. I'll say a tie.
As for myself, too many to list. I'll keep it down to just a few... Most, if not all tracks off AC/DC's You Want Blood You Got It, are better than their studio counterparts. The same deal with The Rolling Stones' Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out. Deep Purple's "Black Night" and "Strange Kind of Woman."
All of those are great suggestions! Hard not to like any Deep Purple live
DeleteHi Pol.
ReplyDeleteI like studio versions but many times I prefer the "live" ones. Ιn the small town where I grew up very rarely [probably never] did I have the opportunity to attend rock concerts. Maybe that's why live recordings are a big part of my record collection. I remember me, with headphones in my ears, to close my eyes and imagine that I was next to the stage.
That is the best reason ever for loving live recordings! I can just imagine a kid sitting there with headphones on.
