When it comes to live stuff from Tom Petty, there’s certainly a good amount of officially available material to choose from. The Live Anthology in particular should be at the top of your list if you don’t own it, both for value and because of what’s on it. Going further back, the Pack Up The […]

Pardon me while I rediscover my own blog, won’t you? Today we’re going to take a journey back to November of 1979 for a (nearly) full set from Foreigner, recorded live on the Head Games tour.

Good Listening: Got Some Live Stuff If Ya Want It
From time to time, I get emails about some of the more popular live shows that I’ve posted here at ATV for download, either because there is a broken link or because they want to thank me for the post. (Gratitude on the internet, folks. It really does happen occasionally.) Two of my personal favorites […]
Random Youtube: Van Halen at the US Festival
Last night, I was hunting around for a Night Ranger DVD that refused to reveal itself. Instead, I found myself watching a long dormant copy of Van Halen’s classic performance at the US Festival in 1983. Although I saw the reunion tour three times, watching this really made me question whether or not I need […]
Springsteen at Winterland
Every now and then, someone will leave a comment here that for one reason or another, fails to post in the comments of the actual post. A gent named “Mark” left a comment on my post of Bruce Springsteen’s classic Agora show, which as you can imagine remains as one of the most popular posts […]
Good Listening: Foo Fighters in Cologne – February ’11
One of the great things about the Foo Fighters is that they tend to do quite a few radio broadcasts throughout the cycle of promoting a new album. 90 minutes to two hours worth of Foos favorites mixed with whatever new album they happen to be promoting at the time is always a good recipe […]
Video Rarities: Chicago in Amsterdam, 1977
How about some Chicago video that’s even better quality than the stuff that I just posted? Well alright…. This time, our journey will take us to Amsterdam for a short broadcast recorded in February of 1977. Dig.
Video Rarities: Chicago at Budokan, 1972
Growing up, Chicago was one of my favorite bands and I came into their discography at an interesting point, since Chicago 17 was the first album that fell onto my radar. I hadn’t quite learned that longtime fans were rabidly cursing Chicago and David Foster for every minute of both 16 and 17….and what do […]
Your favorite live album.
The folks at The Top 13 posted a list this week of their picks for the top 13 “essential live albums.” Being a list lover, The Top 13 website has become a recent favorite of mine, even though the thought of assembling my own personal top 13 list of essential live albums sends my head […]
Good Listening: Bad English in Allentown, October ’89
“When I See You Smile” was one of those songs that I heard on the radio quite a few times, before I actually knew anything about the band behind the song. Bad English was the band, a supergroup of sorts featuring vocalist John Waite, former Journey members Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain, bass player Ricky […]
