I hate live recordings
Hate um. Nothing to me is more distracting then hearing the same intro pitch followed by crowd roar over and over.
Recorded music should remain pure. I don’t want to hear whistling or rambling or the crowd sing backs and if you’re recording a concert for distribution when I’m there I suggest you pay me cuz I’m now a member of the show.
Frampton Comes Alive, well that wasn’t so bad but the self fulfilling guitar solos annoy after awhile and even if its so critically acclaimed that God got his copy signed I still think its garbage. Cheap Trick, Live at Budokan? Hell that was THE LP to own….and it sucked
Fall Out Boy did it, released a live one (its Pete day and France day) it sucked too.
Are artists attempting to make me feel a part of it? Do I really need to hear lofty intros or crowd sing longs? I’m sitting here minding my own business when Yellow by Coldplay comes on …..the live version
I don’t want to memorize where the loudest applause’s took place buy my mind is going to do that anyway.
I have tons of shoddy bootlegs where you can hear the guy scratching himself or coughing or God knows what else but that’s got the gritty feel of the gig itself.
And if you knew someone could tap the soundboard all the better Bootlegs are a whole different deal.
But for an artist to mass produce a live show (or worse snips of an entire tour) well its seems to me its the cheap man way out of coming up with something new.
Listen how amazing I hold this note on the song I released 3 years ago……
No thanks
WTF squeezing the life out of a dime is what I call it.
It doesn’t seem as popular as it once was. Most likely because so much of a live show is now recorded and played back at the actual show, who’d buy it.
Lazy lazy lazy…
If I want the ‘live experience’ its not going to come on a disc.
I’m going to need the whole sensory event. And alternating voice lilts or drum solos does not make a ‘new’ song. I’m sorry that’s just a fact.
