I'll make an unnecessary 4th nod to Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus". If you can check out their current WFC anniversary tour, I'd recommend that you do so. Though I miss Lowell George like I'd miss anything, the guy who's filling his role has incredible chops! Shame on me for not knowing his name, but I just got back from Nashville, where I saw them at the Ryman. Just killer! I hope that they put out a new album. The show was taped for an upcoming PBS documentary. Also, at the tour shows you can pick up a copy of WFC on red vinyl. Supposedly you can't get it anywhere else.

I’ll 5th that Little Feat-Columbus @baylinor I have a MOFI copy. Found it at the local used shop for $20. Sounds amazing! |
I learned early on, that live albums most often suffer harsh sonics. I didn't buy many "live" albums because of that. But Waiting For Columbus is as good sonically as most studio albums. And there is a lot of good music on it.. I used to listen to music in my car as much or more than anywhere because I was in it a lot. And I love music while driving. And though I didn't "drive it like I had stolen it" I did drive it like I was evading a forest fire or just trying to beat the crowd. J Geils - Full House was a favorite. Peter Wolf was one of the absolute most entertaining front man I have ever seen. What a shame the never put out a good studio album. Most of the younger generation know them by Freeze Frame or Centerfold. But this was a far cry from their earlier work. BTW their 2 live album " Live-Blow Your Face Out" is also a worthy double album. Full House is a single album. Both underrated |
