Live at the El Mocambo - Elvis Costello

I think the Elmo closed down a couple of years back. Shame...

[monolith94]

damn, that sucks. It is a fine, fine album, with songs from both my aim is true and this year's model. I like the way he plays his this year's model songs on this album even better than the studio recordings - they seem to have a bit more fire.

It was right around the corner from the philosophy department.

Heretic.

Besides, even if I gave you that (which I'm not), it's about more than just singing.

You should give it to me, plug their nose and anyone sounds like Bob Dylan.

ACK!

Pffft. Granted, it's not for everybody, but that's just rubbish. No wonder your coach bolted for the SEC.

Hell, I understand that move, I bolted to Texas.

ACK!

Bod Dylan is overrated. There, that had to be said.

So did our defensive coordinator. C'est la vie.

Diss: coming from a Slayer fan, I'd expect no less.

I listen to a lot more than metal. I like classic rock considerably. But that whole folk movement was waay overrated. Rock music is where it's at. Jimi Hendrix could at least make a bod dylan song listenable.

Didn't mean to imply that you don't, just that it does show your tastes to generally run along a different line. Had Dylan stayed within the folk scene and still been thought of as highly as he is, I'd be inclined to agree with you... but he didn't.

I've found that Dylan tends to be, more than most others, an artist people either get or don't, and no amount of discourse changes anybody's mind. To each his own.

According to this http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2002/11/2507.cfm
they are reopening it.

SRV performance at the El mocambo was a thing of greatness.
As was his peformances at Montreux.

Lynryd Skynryd s "One more for the Road" is a good live album.
So is Normans Blake "Live at McCabes"
I also like Clutch's "Live at the googleplex" even though the singing on its a bit rough.
Thumbs up to "Live at Leeds"
Can't forget Roy Buchanans "Live in Japan" Very well recorded, truly inspiring performance.
Another big thumbs up to Jackson Delta's Live album with Gene Taylor.
Little Charlie and the Nightcats " Captured live" there some fine playing on that one.
All the live stuff from Zappa is a good listen. Live in New York etc
Al Di Meola - Tour de force - "Live"
Live Magnetic Air by non other than Max Webster
Muddy Waters at Newport.
Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Paco De Lucia - Friday night in San Francisco.

There is no such thing as the greatest when it comes to music.
