Frampton Comes Alive sucks.

Well this is making me go listen to stuff again and.... LZ SRTS is so good. The original vinyl version was not that good as I recall. But this remastered version which even used different song versions from the original and film is much better.

When How the West Was Won was released in 2003 it supplanted SRTS as my go to LZ Live album. So I'm not sure I ever went back really and listened to SRTS again. But the remastered released in 2007 is really good.



And this Live Tom Petty from Fillmore (20 shows in 1997 but released in 2022) is amazing actually. Again I think the Live Anthology has just been my go to for TP Live. I've heard a few tracks from this on Sirius/XM TP channel. But this show (or shows) combined 72 tracks is amazing. It includes all the great TP/HB songs but also tons of awesome covers (a staple of TP live is lots of covers and the HBs are a great backing band) including:

"Ain't No Sunshine" Bill Withers
"You Really Got Me" The Kinks
"It Won't Be Wrong" by The Byrds
"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan
"I Want You Back Again" by the Zombies
"Goldfinger" by John Barry
"Call Me the Breeze" and "I'd Like to Love You Baby" and "Crazy Mama" by JJ Cale
"Diddy Wah Diddy" by Willie Dixon and Bo Diddley
"Hip Hugger" and "Green Onions" by Booker T. and the MG's
"Find My Baby (Locked Up In Love Again)" and "Serves You Right To Suffer" and "Boogie Chillen" by John Lee Hooker

I like the Frampton album as much as the next guy, but Celebration Day should have won that.

The "mythology" surrounding that historical LZ reunion show is a factor too. The most in-demand concert in history for such a small number of available tickets. (And the fact they hadn't played live since their infamously bad showing at Live Aid in 85.)

Still blows my mind they played in a relatively small arena rather than at least playing Wembley Stadium.

No Alice in Chains unplugged? Weak

Lost to BB King in the first round. I love BB but that's ludicrous.

That is the best live album, ever. Ever.

Wow ... the Man in Black crushed acoustic Clapton.
