Are there any bands that you've seen live that didn't impress you, or that sounded better on CD? The only concert that I ever saw that completely bored me was Billy Joel in 1982. I suppose that it was just that particular tour, because when I saw him again in '84, I really enjoyed the show.
Live albums? Love em or hate em? Why? Live albums are great for giving you a feel about how a particular band sounds live, but... BORING! If you're familiar with a band's material, live albums seldom ever contain anything new.
MTV started the "Unplugged" concept...do you have any favorites and what are your feelings on the "Unplugged" series. Unplugged sucks! If it was written to be plugged in, it should stay that way. The Scorpions' Acoustica is one of very few "unplugged" albums that I can tolerate. Eric Clapton's unplugged version of Layla is the worst unplugged piece of crap that I ever heard. He doesn't even attempt the guitar work that makes the song special on this version...
What is your favorite live act? Neil Young
Neil always puts on a good show!
Actually, I am convinced that all of the bands that I really love hate me...
Most of them I've never seen live because they never seem to play shows anywhere near here.
