Live at Leeds is an absolute monster, but I think that Pete’s guitar sounds even clearer on Live at Hull which was recorded the following night. An added bonus is that it’s also much easier to hear Keith Moon’s drums as well. Very highly recommended.
That's the best live twin-guitar attack I've ever heard from the Stones. With those guitars panned pretty hard L/R, rhythm section sold AF and Jagger actually trying to hit the notes, it grabs you and never lets go.
Blur was the first band that made me want to play guitar. Graham Coxon's riffs and solos are all fantastic (Chemical World, End Of A Century, This Is A Low, Charmless Man, He Thought of Cars, Beetlebum, Coffee and TV). I'm happy Andy is also a Blur fan and plays their riffs- it's like when your two favorite TV shows have a crossover episode
A song from the Band of Gypsy's live album that is often overlooked because of the amazing towering rendition of Machine Gun is Power To Love. After the intro Hendrix just attacks the guitar with notes screaming of power and freedom that will physically move you. It's that combination of the power of Marshalls with his use of the wah wah as a form of live eq shaping his tone as he goes, using his fingers, the guitar, his amps and pedals as a total environment to express his musical imagination. It is one of the all time great examples of just jumping in to a song as if he's already in the middle solo section (where he switches to the Octavia and Univibe to push the song into another universe). "I said flotation is groovy and easy, and a jellyfish will agree to that Yeah but old jellyfish been floatin' so long and so slack, Lord ain't got a bone in his jelly back"
Actually it’s the best guitar track I’ve ever listened in my entire life. Out of this world and way ahead of its time, even the outro notes give me chills...
I will always listen to what you say Andy. You come across as very humble, but you're a pro. UA-cam is a forest of peckerwoods, but you're a giant redwood my friend.
The Song Remains the Same was one of the first albums I bought as a kid. It's no surprise that I'm still playing a Les Paul through a Marshall, and don't really like heavy distortion, though do like select modulation here and there. Great video!
The single song that got me into guitar was the first song on side 3 of "the song remains the same" which was my first record. That live version of No Quarter is tone heaven to me and 5 years later I'm going to music school.
Adrian Belew's guitarworks (with C. Alomar) all along the "Stage" live recordings of Bowie's tour in 1978, using a lot of his own feedback technique, but always serving the songs - and talking about guitar duets, Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner on "Rock n' roll Animal" by Lou Reed are among the very best...
All great albums but good on yer for the Blur find, nice! !!!synch an underrated guitarist, picked up quite a bit from Graham Coxons tones over the years.
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live at The Hammersmith Odeon, 1975. Bruce, and Steve's tones are incredible and they played with such edge on this set. "It's Hard to be a Saint in The City" in particularly has some amazing tones.
Gary Moore "Blues Alive" (the Holy Grail of Tone imo.) AC/DC "If You Want Blood" Peter Frampton "Frampton Comes Alive" The Stones "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" The Cult "Live at The Marquee" (check Billy Duffy's tone on "Love" in particular.)
Song remains the Same! I knew that would be here...classic Zep Page tone...love it. So happily surprised that Who Knows made your list. Absolutely love that tune! Jimi's iconic tone shaped my world! Thnx for sharing this awesome video!
Alex Lifeson is one of the best guitarists in my opinion. He always gets great tones out of his gear. Especially on their live shows! Definitely underrated. Glad he was on this list.
Great cops of all the live tones- all the more impressive with your finger picking technique. Your "pick" attack is always there- something I never could do, never mind, master. Cheers to the great sounds and always inspiring playing.
Thanks Andy, as usual master playing. I liked The Who and Led Zep albums for decades. My all time favorite live album is Irish Tour 74 by Rory Gallagher. I understand you are more on the guitar sound side, while Rory had the voice, the guitar, the energy and nearly no sound effect.
Andy you’re awesome. Great idea for a video. I’ve got 3 for you. Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii Wilco Via Chicago Portishead Live at the Roseland Ballroom.
While I wasn't really hip to Blur ( I know Song Two and love that) I dig all the choices presented here. All The World A Stage was huge for me in my formative years. I also remember jamming toThe Song Remains The Same, just because Celebration Day rocked so hard, awesome. I had that one on 8track tape. It was so long my machine ate two different copies of that one. Frampton Comes Alive was huge for me. The tone and overlooked musicianship cannot be overstated. Rock On everyone!
I'm more from the DVD generation: anything from Slane Castle (RHCP, U2, Bryan Adams) have all done their best work there IMO with great mixing. RCHP "Don't Forget Me" from that performance is iconic to me. Incubus "Live at Red Rocks" was very good. I also listened to Nirvana "Unplugged" a lot and ditto for Eric Clapton, who basically set the whole unplugged craze in motion with his spirited show. SO many great MTV Unplugged performances from back in the 90s. I'd also say Bob Marley "Babylon By Bus" and U2 "Rattle and Hum". Hell even the Mark, Tom and Travis show was a solid live album full of the fart jokes and super catchy monster guitar hooks with good vocals for a change.
Wow, thanks buddy and we agree haha. The Who Live at Leeds is my all time favorite. It came out in 1971 when I was 12 and I have always and will always love that album. The Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya-ya's Out is another must have, the Stones at the height of their powers and that fantastic mid-range crunch to those songs. My favorite Stones album. And who can forget Humble Pie Rockin the Fillmore. My favorites along with Lou Reeds Rock n Roll Animal, and Band of Gypsys. Thanks, Andy.
On second thought - Other Live albums my buds and I wore out in the 70's : The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East The Outlaws - Bring it Back Alive Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From the Road Reo Speedwagon - Live : You Get What You Play For UFO - Strangers in the Night Grand Funk Railroad - Caught in the Act Free - Live! J. Geils Band - Live Full House
Would have loved to see someone try to tackle Blackmore's tone from Made in Japan. I think Ritchie's tone is so underrated, everyone loves his playing but his sound is so great!
Band of gypsys was the first album I bought from Jimi, I was 17 at the time. Started playing guitar a week after and am still chasing the level of expression on that album, and especially Machine Gun, 20 years later.
Willem Similar story here; I have often thought, why bother trying to play anything else...just work on that record until you can play it...that would be enough!
UFO LIVE!!!! Strangers in the Night ...... greatest live album ever!!!!......I'm very partial cuz I was there for some of the actual recording here in Chicago!!......Rock Bottom!!!......best live solo EVER!!!!!............have a great , and safe summer everyone!!!!......be well Andy !!!....
Always nice to see Gra getting some love. I’ve been following Reverb for a while and noticed Andy likes to mention him when he can. (Also noticed that he’s changed the way he plays Charmless Man :) )
Great topic!!! For years I’ve been practicing playing along to live DVD’s and records!! 🤓🖖🏽🤘🏽⚡️🎸🎛📻 My top fav live albums/ dvd concerts are The Black Keys live at the Crystal Ballroom Mad season live at the Moore The white stripes live under black pool light Screaming Females live at the Hideout The Stooges live in the hands of the fans Kiss Alive Ac/Dc if you want blood you’ve got it Nirvana live at Paramount Nirvana live at Reading Nirvana live and loud Nirvana unplugged Alice and chains unplugged Neil young rust and rust never sleeps
Surprised how many of the albums listed I have had. Live at Leeds, Song remains the same, All the worlds a stage. Of those I give a nod to Live at Leeds for being what a live album is supposed to be.
I've never heard of you but you are really impressive on guitar. You've obviously done your 10,000hrs. I was hoping you'd showcase Celebration Day for Led Zeppelin & you did! Great minds think alike!
That’s interesting because Andy did a video 13 years ago where he played songs from Live at Leeds and used MJM China Fuzz. The guitar tone was spot on.
I wore the vinyl out with these as a teen in the late 70's... You're great Andy, thanks for all your demos👍 UFO Strangers in the Night Robin Trower Live Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Live Led Zeppelin The Song Remains The Same Deep Purple Made in Japan
That Zepp, Who , & Rush live albums.... same here. Big impact in tone. But even before I started playing... it's the songs themselves on those albums. To this day never tiring of listeming to those live albums. The Zepp movie, I've seen it over a hundred times, literally.
"Jimi Plays Berkeley" with Buddy Cox (bass) and Mitch Mitchell (drums) is also a classic. The best version of the Experience/Band of Gypsys/whatever Jimi was calling it at the time. Better than "Band of Gypsys," IMO. Possibly just as good as "Live at Leeds" (my favorite Who LP that isn't "The Who Sell Out").
Definitely Leeds & Gypsys. Humble Pie Rockin’ The Fillmore, Frampton Comes Alive, Mahogany Rush Live, Mountain Flowers of Evil Dream Sequence......I could go on and on Andy.......Good job bro.
Definitely two of your top guitar albums are on my list: Song Remains the Same and All the World’s a Stage. I would add: 3). Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock! “You can leave if you want, we’re just Jammin’ that’s all.” 4). Uli Jon Roth - Scorpions “Live Tokyo Tapes” - Uli Roth Neoclassical Metal Guitarist played stock strats but since the late 1980’s started playing his own custom 37 fret (scalloped) 6, 7 and 8 stringed “Sky” guitars which he invented. 5). Frampton Comes Alive - epically thick guitar rhythm and leads showcasing his love for that trademark Leslie Speaker swirl that mixed so well with his keyboardist’s setup. 6). Steve Morse - Dregs “Unsung Heroes” album. Steve won Best all around guitarist in the world after the release of this album. No vocals Etc.
My first live album, "Frampton Comes Alive", Pink Floyd "Delicate Sound of Thunder", "Cal Jam 2", Dire Straits "Live at Wembley Arena", Eric Clapton"One Night with the Blues"
Rock live albums...it's got to be 'Strangers in the Night by UFO, one blistering track after another. Or, 'Live and Dangerous' by Thin Lizzy. Listen to Brian Robertson's mastery of the Wah pedal on the solo on 'Rosalie', there 's tons of stuff on there. I'm a big Rush fan from that era and I didn't think that 'All the world's a stage' quite stood up to these two. AC/DC-'If you want blood...' was up there as well.
Great list. UFO live album "Strangers in the Night". That's when it hit me. A band that can play live and sound better than their albums is a great band. If you can't play live and sound great, then you suck! That and I had to like more than three songs on the album to buy it.
One of my favourite live albums is Live At Budokan from Cheap Trick, Rick Nielsen’s playing is awesome and his tone on I Want You to Want Me is on a whole other level and it’s great
AndyDemos If you’re willing to listen to bootlegs, the B-Sides Gig at the Electric Ballroom (1999) is fantastic! 19 B-Sides from Leisure through the Self-Titled, as well as Day Upon Day, I Love Her, and Fried It’s a shame it was never released commercially, thank goodness for the Blur Archive Project blurarchiveproject.blogspot.com/2015/03/live-recordings.html?m=1
I would add “Sick as a Dog” from Aerosmith’s Live Bootleg album. I’ve been chasing Brad Whitford’s tone from that tune since I started playing guitar. Brian May’s work on Live Killers is mind boggling. “Ain’t That a Shame” from Cheap Trick’s Live at Budokan...to name a few.
Live at Budokan sadly was overdub city due to an error in recording it live. Epic mistakenly released the non-overdubbed tracks a few years ago and it's painful to listen to...
Awesome to see blur on here. Coxon is an incredibly underrated guitarist.
I know I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new series online?
@Titus Chase flixportal :)
@Bennett Tobias Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!!
@Titus Chase You are welcome =)
Band of Gypsys has the best guitar solo ever captured live. It’s my favorite live Hendrix album!!!
This album changed my life!
machine gun!!..that tone!
My favourite Hendrix LP.
Live at Leeds is an absolute monster, but I think that Pete’s guitar sounds even clearer on Live at Hull which was recorded the following night. An added bonus is that it’s also much easier to hear Keith Moon’s drums as well. Very highly recommended.
Mick Taylor on the Rolling Stones "Get yer Ya Ya's Out." His spiraling, twisting leads breathed life into the Stones rhythm section.
That's the best live twin-guitar attack I've ever heard from the Stones. With those guitars panned pretty hard L/R, rhythm section sold AF and Jagger actually trying to hit the notes, it grabs you and never lets go.
Allman Bros. - Fillmore East
Blur was the first band that made me want to play guitar.

Cream's live set on Wheels of Fire. Especially Crossroads and Spoonful
A song from the Band of Gypsy's live album that is often overlooked because of the amazing towering rendition of Machine Gun is Power To Love. After the intro Hendrix just attacks the guitar with notes screaming of power and freedom that will physically move you. It's that combination of the power of Marshalls with his use of the wah wah as a form of live eq shaping his tone as he goes, using his fingers, the guitar, his amps and pedals as a total environment to express his musical imagination.

"I said flotation is groovy and easy, and a jellyfish will agree to that
Yeah but old jellyfish been floatin' so long and so slack, Lord ain't got a bone in his jelly back"
Kenneth Nielsen
Dude! My favorite lyric of my favorite album! I feel like we could be amigos 😜
Actually it’s the best guitar track I’ve ever listened in my entire life. Out of this world and way ahead of its time, even the outro notes give me chills...
The second solo in "Celebration Day" on TSRTS is one of the coolest solos ever!
I will always listen to what you say Andy. You come across as very humble, but you're a pro. UA-cam is a forest of peckerwoods, but you're a giant redwood my friend.

Live At Leeds is my favourite live album too. Townshend also uses the volume knobs on his SG a lot to clear the sound up or distort it.
The single song that got me into guitar was the first song on side 3 of "the song remains the same" which was my first record. That live version of No Quarter is tone heaven to me and 5 years later I'm going to music school.
Mediocre Boi
Good one! Always loved that “middle eastern” sounding solo...
I love it when you play Blur. 👍
I maintain that all of the best UA-cam videos have Graham Coxon in them.
Adrian Belew's guitarworks (with C. Alomar) all along the "Stage" live recordings of Bowie's tour in 1978, using a lot of his own feedback technique, but always serving the songs - and talking about guitar duets, Steve Hunter & Dick Wagner on "Rock n' roll Animal" by Lou Reed are among the very best...

Andy is a legend
All great albums but good on yer for the Blur find, nice! !!!synch an underrated guitarist, picked up quite a bit from Graham Coxons tones over the years.
The Song Remains the Same has a great live tone.. but I like How the West Was Won more.
I kinda didn’t like the how the west was won tone
@@matthewkennedy7283 love the el34 so much more than the kt88. To each their own
YEEEES and the slapback delay sound in the solos!!
Rory Gallagher - 74 Irish Tour

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Live Alive
Pat Travers - Go For What You Know
Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive
The Allman Bros Band - At Fillmore East
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live at The Hammersmith Odeon, 1975. Bruce, and Steve's tones are incredible and they played with such edge on this set. "It's Hard to be a Saint in The City" in particularly has some amazing tones.
You are my without a doubt my favourite UA-cam guitarist. You make everything sound great.

Amen to Gary Moore and Frampton, man! Good stuff.

Wow, I think this has just become one of my fav vids! 😉 Loved every song, band, tone you played Mr Martin! 👍
Song remains the Same! I knew that would be here...classic Zep Page tone...love it. So happily surprised that Who Knows made your list. Absolutely love that tune! Jimi's iconic tone shaped my world! Thnx for sharing this awesome video!
Alex Lifeson is one of the best guitarists in my opinion. He always gets great tones out of his gear. Especially on their live shows! Definitely underrated. Glad he was on this list.
Monster Guitar Player & Lazer Accurate - live. All Precision. = Alex Lifeson.
@@michael_caz_nyc Yeah for sure! He Made a three piece band sound huge!
Made in Japan from Deep purple
200 Watt Marshall Major and a treblebooster to push ritchies strat to made every body play guitar :-D
Great cops of all the live tones- all the more impressive with your finger picking technique. Your "pick" attack is always there- something I never could do, never mind, master.
Cheers to the great sounds and always inspiring playing.
Dickey Betts tone on anything live while Duane was alive. And Mike Bloomfield on “The live adventures of mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper”

Definitely two of your top guitar albums are on my list: Song Remains the Same and All the World’s a Stage.
I would add:
3). Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock! “You can leave if you want, we’re just Jammin’ that’s all.”
4). Uli Jon Roth - Scorpions “Live Tokyo Tapes” - Uli Roth Neoclassical Metal Guitarist played stock strats but since the late 1980’s started playing his own custom 37 fret (scalloped) 6, 7 and 8 stringed “Sky” guitars which he invented.
5). Frampton Comes Alive - epically thick guitar rhythm and leads showcasing his love for that trademark Leslie Speaker swirl that mixed so well with his keyboardist’s setup.
6). Steve Morse - Dregs “Unsung Heroes” album. Steve won Best all around guitarist in the world after the release of this album. No vocals
Etc.
Under a blood red sky - U2
Live at Fillmore - Derek & the Dominos
Also don't forget Steve Marriott's Packet of Three live from Camden Palace. DVD
My first live album, "Frampton Comes Alive", Pink Floyd "Delicate Sound of Thunder", "Cal Jam 2", Dire Straits "Live at Wembley Arena", Eric Clapton"One Night with the Blues"
Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East . . . ‘nuff said.
All excellent choices, of course. RUSH rules.
Black Flag- ‘Who Got The 10 1/2?’
BB King, Live at the Regal?
Rock live albums...it's got to be 'Strangers in the Night by UFO, one blistering track after another. Or, 'Live and Dangerous' by Thin Lizzy. Listen to Brian Robertson's mastery of the Wah pedal on the solo on 'Rosalie', there 's tons of stuff on there. I'm a big Rush fan from that era and I didn't think that 'All the world's a stage' quite stood up to these two. AC/DC-'If you want blood...' was up there as well.
Allman Bros Live At The Fillmore
Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy. And although you’ll hear there was a lot of guitar over dubs, Robbo says there was hardly any.
Best live album by a mile, best live act I've ever seen also but a later incarnation with John Sykes who was unbelievably good,
lf you listen to the Tower Live that came out a while back, same tour, no dubs and backs up Robbo's statements!
Ted Nugent: Double Live Gonzo! Great White Buffalo
Live At Leeds first album I owned in middle school on cassette when it was first released.
Great list. UFO live album "Strangers in the Night". That's when it hit me. A band that can play live and sound better than their albums is a great band. If you can't play live and sound great, then you suck! That and I had to like more than three songs on the album to buy it.
Bob Marley and the Wailers Live! No Woman, No Cry might have one of the greatest live guitar lead recordings ever.
Andy-American Blur fans forever unite!!
Santana & Buddy Miles live album hands down.
If you really want that Alex Lifeson phaser sound, you need a six stage phaser like the original Maestro. I use a Wombtone but a Bad Stone also works.
Thin Lizzy! Live & Dangerous!
One of my favourite live albums is Live At Budokan from Cheap Trick, Rick Nielsen’s playing is awesome and his tone on I Want You to Want Me is on a whole other level and it’s great
I want to be Andy when I grow up
Nice list. But without "Strangers In The Night", it's seriously incomplete.
I love Live at the Budokan, but from Blur I much prefer Parklive. The performance of Young and Lovely alone is worth the listen.
Chris Parklive is awesome, I like that they finally played Y&L too!
AndyDemos
If you’re willing to listen to bootlegs, the B-Sides Gig at the Electric Ballroom (1999) is fantastic!
19 B-Sides from Leisure through the Self-Titled, as well as Day Upon Day, I Love Her, and Fried
It’s a shame it was never released commercially, thank goodness for the Blur Archive Project

Allman Bros - Fillmore East
The Clash - Any Live album/footage
Ben Folds Five - Live at West 54th
@Jess Vermont Great, thanks. I liked the Clash for a minute there but you sure put me right. Won't let it happen again.
That Anthem sound is spot on
I would add UFO Strangers in the Night to this list.
Michaels tone is amazing on this recording imo.
Jimi and Jimmy are at the top of my list too.
Frampton Comes Alive is an epic live performance with tone to match.
I inherited my mom's vinyl copy of All the World's a Stage, a ripping album from front to back 🤘
Jimmy used an American 1969 super lead that was apparently modded for hendrix!
I would add “Sick as a Dog” from Aerosmith’s Live Bootleg album. I’ve been chasing Brad Whitford’s tone from that tune since I started playing guitar. Brian May’s work on Live Killers is mind boggling. “Ain’t That a Shame” from Cheap Trick’s Live at Budokan...to name a few.
Live at Budokan sadly was overdub city due to an error in recording it live. Epic mistakenly released the non-overdubbed tracks a few years ago and it's painful to listen to...
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Live
Sick guitar album.
So Underrated. Songs: The Answer and Dragonfly ( live ) are Classic. He is such a cool guy too. Love Canadians = nice people.
Agree about Live at Leeds and Band of Gypsies.Also Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal,Live Johnny Winter And
