I am a big Prog fan but I do realize it's not for everyone 😁 I don't have too much to say regarding Live albums I do like a couple but those come in 74 and 76. I do have to say a lot of albums from the Fillmore locations in the early 70s. Good show as always!
Well awwright...hello my musical family and friends. Today I have my top 5 favorite live albums of 1971 with no mentions or worst of. This will be an easy peachy list today. So let's begin... 5. Humble Pie - Performance Rockin' The Fillmore 4. Curtis Mayfield - Curtis/Live 3. Various Artists - The Concert Of Bangladesh 2. Elton John - 17/11/70 1. Chicago - Chicago At Carnegie Hall There's my lith lith. Can't wait to get to 1972 with some good ones and one...oof, it's from a Prog-Rock band that had a live album that the sound quality sounds like if Neil Breen produced it. Anyway, happy Thursday and weekend everyone.
Hell, even comedians like George Carlin did the Bitter End. Very cool. I thought the Concert for Bangladesh album was released in 1972, but apparently in January of that year in the UK and one month before in the US. So, we're both correct then. Ha. Funny story, my mother bought that album the day she was "let go" from her job at the NY Stock Exchange. I think her boss' wife called and mom put her on hold while she was taking other calls and her boss later complained about it to mom or something like that because his wife was on hold for a long time when even he could've pressed the button himself to speak to her, plus he was cheating on his wife anyway. Yeah, a lot to unpack there. Ha! My mother liked Sha Na Na, and all I'm gonna say is that Bowzer these days is a righteous dude. Thought Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans was what led to punk, but ok then. ;) Funny story about Tommy's father mistaking Jim Croce for Frank Zappa, but it's possible it could've been the night Jim decided to just do a bunch of Zappa covers. Wonder if there will be an archival release of THAT. ;) My uncle may have been at one of those Allman Brothers Fillmore gigs as well. Ike and Tina Turner. Like everyone else, I'm happy Tina left Ike, but musically, I actually prefer her more with him. Hell, I even like their Big TNT Show performance more than James Brown's TAMI Show performance. If that's sacrilege, well, I'm sorry. Ha. Peace, y'all. :)

I thought about that after I made that comment. They were always smug but I connect with the 60s stuff musically and it's lyrically far more up my alley.

Humble Pie is conspicuously absent from this episode. You'd think at least one of us would've had it on our list!
@AsItShouldBePodcast Totally understand Paul. But don't worry, I figure to mention that album for y'all.
Very good rankings, especially with Fela included. My hon. mentions would be Free and Humble Pie.
Thank you Mark!

I ain't hip to the current righteousness of Bowser, but I did love him back in the 70s variety show days.
SACRILEGE!😂
