What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

AC/DC "live" cd,1992.

one of Dani's cd's,she has quite a few Acca-Dacca albums, i only have three from memory for some reason?
recorded on their 1991 Razor's Edge World Tour.
unlike MH, i actually enjoy listening to live albums,they tend to give a sense of perspective for me as to how good or not so good a band are without all the studio "spit and polish".
it was obvious to me that this one was going to be good to great as AC/Dc always were a great live pub rock band...they just changed to performing at pubs that held 30,000 people instead of a few hundred.
very profficient musicians that can do what they do in the studio on the stage also IMO.
however....and heres the negative part.....Brian johnson's vocals after only a decade in the spotlight seem to lack the real punch of those on the studio albums,but they are reasonable anyway.
the other downside to this album...and the most important one for me is that it is obvious this is not a single recording from one solitary gig as there are fadeouts in the applause at the end of each track, which means to me that they sat down and listened to several shows and put on the best performance of each track...to me that is not a true live recording!
that said, this is still a reasonable sounding career spanning double set of discs...
allmusic rate this 3/5 or 1.8 on the Music Head Rating System..and on this occasion i agree with allmusic's score

its not an album i would neccessarily purchase, and thankfully i dont need to now anyway...think i'll stick to me "live" dvd as i love watching Angus' stage antics whilst he is playing guitar!
