Great Live Albums That Are Missing Key Songs-Let's Do Some Song Swapping! (w/Martin Popoff)

[@kenfrederick6223]

Interesting hearing Martin talking about about live albums as he's generally not a big fan of them. The Robin Trower Live album is in desperate need of a deluxe reissue with some bonus tracks. 🎸

[@brannonjenkins9093]

The first album that came to my mind was rush Exit stage left when they didn't do Limelight

[@danebrackvitch4901]

Get the anniversary edition of Moving Pictures. It has Live in YYZ, a double live album/cd of the entire setlist which includes Limelight and much more.

[@stephanechamberland8486]

But it's on Live in YYZ 1981...a better live album than Exit...Stage Left !

[@Walesktf]

Skynyrds 'One More From The Road' is nigh on perfect, but it always bugged me that it didn't contain any tracks from Gimme Back My Bullets. Would love to have heard that track on the LP as well as one other, probably Roll Gypsy Roll, as it's one of my favourite deep cuts from this great US band

[@perpetualmotion357]

If You Want Blood You Got It has always been one of my favorite Live albums but I agree with Martin about "Rocker", I wish they would have kept Dog Eat Dog instead which they actually cut from the recording. It contains my favorite version of Hell Aint A Bad Place To Be. It just suddenly kicks in and crushes. Bon sounds so good on this album. I also like how you can hear the hum of the equipment and feeback throughout this record. This is another reason why Bad Boy Boogie is one of my favorites off this. Its the song where the band extends their jam a bit while letting Angus do his thing. Its actually somewhat short compared to what they started doing later on. Angus's vibrato and his ability to control his feedback during Boogie is haunting sounding, like he's summoning spirits or something. They were such a force when they were young and hungry and living on the road. Just playing that album back in my head right now and hearing how tight and powerful they sounded is almost giving me goosebumps. I listened to it for the first time in a while just a few months ago and now I feel like blasting it again on my stereo at deafening volume, just to physically feel the music thumping in my chest.

[@martymartin2894]

The only change I would make to that album is make it a double album full show, not cut any tracks off of it.

I wish they had added Go Down or Up To My Neck In You or Kicked In The Teeth.

If the songs were not played at the shows that were recorded for a live album, there is no point wishing the songs should have been included on the live album. For example, for Tokyo Tapes, if you look at the setlist website, the only songs that were played, but not included on the album, are Kimigayo and Hell-Cat, as encores. Virgin Killer was not played. Same for If You Want Blood from AC/DC, only one or two songs that were played at that concert were not included on the live album (none were the ones Martin wanted). (BTW, I often checked the setlist website for the shows that were recorded for a live album.) For me, a live album should include all the songs that were played on a tour or show and in the order they were played. This would give you the full experience.

[@patrickmurphy4297]

...agree. I did bring that up with Pete's opinion on "Exit Stage Left," where "Circumstances" and "A Farewell To Kings" were not played...however, "The Camera Eye" and "Natural Science" WERE...so, there we are...

[@costafinkel]

46:44 "I dont wannna be that guy. That guy that wants to be cool and be contrarian"... Martin, I love you, but you are exactly that guy!! : ))

[@MartinPopoff]

No I'm not! : ) "Walk This Way" is the best song on Toys in the Attic. Maybe even "Dude" on Permanent Vacation. I feel a show coming on!

[@63mckenzie]

I never understood why Beyond The Realms of Death wasn't included in the CD release of Judas Priest's Unleashed In The East when it was part of a 3 track single included in the original vinyl release.

[@weirdlysawbones8547]

Thank you Pete for suggesting South Side Of The Sky as a substitute on Yessongs. That song is my absolute go to song off of Fragile and I don't think that it gets mentioned nearly enough. A solid gold track in my eyes.

[@patrickmurphy4297]

...oh, I wish I could've been a "guest" for this show...you guys touched on quite a few live albums where I thought the track listing was "wanting," but 3 of them are personal "pet peeves" of mine...please forgive the elongated "rant" below on those 3, but I cannot help myself, due to the "personal nature" of this topic...1) Angel "Live Without A Net"...first off, this album was not, to my knowledge, mentioned once as part of your previous "live album" topics...I was always curious about Pete's opinion on it, and unless I missed it somehow, I never got any sort of input until this episode...when it first came out, I was a huge Angel fan, and was elated at the simple existence of a live Angel album...I have zero problems between the Mickey Jones vs. the Felix Robinson eras of the band, but the song selection on this is what makes this an "average" live album vs. a "great" live album...first of all, by this time, live albums featuring drum, guitar and keyboard solos were waning...get rid of that excessive crap and include more songs, as opposed to elongated versions of songs that would've been just fine @ the original album length...second, omit "filler"..."Over And Over" was never one of their best songs, get rid of it...and I agree with Martin on "Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore," which, on here, sounds awful...and do we really need a cover version of "All The Young Dudes?"...and the "live" version of "20th Century Foxes" could've been put on the b-side of the studio version of this totally worthless song...in their places, "Cast The First Stone," "Mirrors," "The Fortune," "Sunday Morning," and "Chicken Soup" would've made this fantastic....and one other thing...they left out a verse on "Can You Feel It," which is also lacklustre on this album...I mentioned it to Punky and he wasn't even aware it was missing, and they still perform the "verse-less" version to this day...2) Nazareth "'Snaz"...I hated it back then, and I hate it today...first of all, who the hell let the honky-tonk piano player in? I don't need no damn honky tonk piano in "Beggar's Day," for crying out loud. Second, Pete, you are absolutely correct...this album should've been recorded on the "No Mean City" tour...and it's literally impossible to find any live recordings from that tour. I've put together a 16-song selection that would've made a snarling, biting, kicking live album from Nazareth, but from what I've read, they deemed it necessary to "show their versatility" as opposed to being a straight-forward kick-ass live band...to each their own. But "Go Down Fighting," "Revenge Is Sweet," "I Am The Violin," "Silver Dollar Forger," "No Mean City," "Alcatraz"...they had so many damn good songs that would've made this a killer album...I was the "entertainment editior" for my high school newspaper the year this came out...I gave it a shitty review, because it's a shitty album...and, finally 3) Rush "Exit Stage Left"...despite the horrible production, the album is...weird. Initially addressing Pete's addtions to the album, I was in attendance at both the "Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures" shows, and although I agree with your inclusions, the band did not play "Circumstances" and "A Farewell To Kings" on those tours...what I submit as an alternative is this...at this time, Rush was "riding a wave"...why not take a dare (not like Rush would 'take a dare' on anything...!) and release a 3-disc live album...that way, the entire concert could be represented...parts of "Cygnus/Hemispheres"..."The Camera Eye"..."Natural Science"..."Vital Signs," which was relegated to the b-side of a single from the "Signals" album...after all, Yes and ELP did it...why not Rush? Particularly at that time of their career...as for your removal of "Beneath, Between And Behind," I'm glad they did it, along with "A Passage To Bangkok." Yes, it would've been cool to hear both of those on "All The World's A Stage," but at least there is a live representation of those songs (although the studio versions of both smoke the live versions...) from that time period. Sorry I was so long-winded, but you "hit a nerve" with me on this topic. :0)

[@scotterrebo995]

These old acts grew up in the 50’s and they loved that music!

[@commonman317]

That whole side is perfect the way it is. "Broon's Bane", "The Trees", and "Xanadu". However, Pete is right. "Circumstances" would have been a great addition.

[@awesoanimations1974]

Aerosmith “Live! Bootleg” is one of my favorite live albums of all time but it’s missing my favorite songs from each album it pulls from: • Moving Out (Debut) • Same Old Song and Dance (Get Your Wings) • Adam’s Apple (Toys in the Attic) • Nobody’s Fault (Rocks) • Kings and Queens (Draw the Line)

[@patrickmurphy4297]

...the "Texxas Jam" performance would've been a much better alternative to "Live Bootleg."

[@jasonpizzo2897]

One Way Street and Rats In The Cellar are tough to overlook

[@RickNBacker]

Horslips closed out the 70's with the single disc, The Belfast Gigs, which was actually culled from three shows so there was plenty of room to make it a double album considering they had 9 VERY different studio albums to draw from.

[@CathyLahn]

Wanted to add that another good topic is "perfect timing" of the release... DAVID BOWIE DAVID LIVE - At The Tower Theater, Philadelphia (1974) RCA Victor Any time i listen to this brilliant and all consuming great double live album, I feel instantly grateful for "when" this album was released. Although I love all Bowie music through the early 80s, if "David Live" (1974) had been "even one year earlier," there would be no Diamond Dogs tracks. And if it had come out in say, 1976, you would not only have less of all those excellent earlier songs, but you'd have David Bowie himself in a slightly different state of mind. I'd also like to menton that this album features Bowie in brilliant, powerful voice and the highly underrated Earl Slick putting out killer solo after solo, magnificent lick after lick of guitar that matches the songs perfectly. Not to mention Mike Garson's decadent piano, which adds such a uniquely brazen touch to the top. It's a wholly magnificent album, and THE one I think of first when it comes to this particular topic... and a helluva lot else too. Bowie also adds in a slightly more fresh approach to most of the songs as well (1984, Rebel Rebel, Sweet Thing, Changes, Suffragette City, Aladdin Sane, Cracked Actor, Rock and Roll With Me, The Width of a Circle, The Jean Genie and the stunning Rock and Roll Suicide (in its "best ever" form)....all of which are performed in a way slightly different from the norm, and pefectly fitting for this immersive and involving concert. One which truly makes you feel like "you're there," in the Tower Theater, July, 1974. ML ⚡

[@ilj1259]

For Genesis live it should have included "Suppers Ready" on side one.... Side 2 would have "Watcher of The Skies" and "The Knife". It should have been a double album to include more songs. 😢

[@Leo-ci9kc]

Great show! Agree Pete about On Stage and BOC.

[@commonman317]

The extended "Bed's Too Big Without You" on that Police Live album is incredible. It's the early Police experimenting on stage and improvising, which is a treat.

[@TimsVinylConfessions]

Ken Lyons and Larry Junstrom, both bassists for .38 Special have died. Great episode, but I thought for sure one of you were going to mention Y&T's Open Fire. Single live album, strange track listing, not one song from Mean Streak or In Rock We Trust.

[@MartinPopoff]

GREAT call - thanks for that!

[@andyshelton4889]

There is an official bootleg that has songs from this album.😀❤️

[@CathyLahn]

Agree and disagree with Martin, about AC/DC's "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)" 1978, Atlantic CBS, inc. First off, I do agree that it should've been a double album. Could've included several other POWERAGE tracks (also "my" fave studio LP), such as "Up To My Neck In You," "Gone Shootin'," "What's Next to The Moon" "Sin City" and "Down Payment Blues" to choose from (all of which are stellar AC/DC songs) BUT.... this album does work fantastically, just as it is! Martin, look, if you want to say that you don't want to hear "The Jack" or "Bad Boy Boogie," make sure you're talking about the later BJ era, when "The Jack" was performed in a 'much less effective' way. THE JACK here is totally classic, what with Bon's much more visceral, alt. lyrics and....oh, shit...Angus Young's absolutely killer licks! I mean, his soloing on "The Jack" is some of the finest blues work...ever. Not to mention his unbelievable TONE. It does not get better. "Bad Boy Boogie" and "Let There Be Rock" also contain a far more effective, badass, evil-tinged quality that tops the already marvelous studio versions. So, yes to it bring a double album, NO to replacing any of the fantastic tracks already present. *I wouldn't mind this album also containing brilliant eaeloet tracks like "Rock and Roll Singer," "Overdose" and "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" as well. Also, Pete, I totally agree about The Rolling Stones. That album should've included "Gimmie Shelter," "Live With Me," and "Monkey Man"...just to note three from one album. Totally agree with that! But....those two Chuck Berry songs (Carol & Little Queenie) are both brilliant, groovy & involving. Most especially due to the great Mick Taylor, who makes both that much more badass! Marc ⚡

[@Drumdude74]

Good show guys, some excellent choices and a few I haven't even heard yet, so yay more homework for me, I guess. lol There are a few that came to mind but my live album was a posthumous release. Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads Tribute, released in 1987. Since it was released 5 years after Randy's death, I never understood why, " Over The Mountain " wasn't the opening song, let alone not on it at all! I could have done without, " Paranoid " or " No Bone Movies ". I also would have put, " Diary of a Madman " on there as well, " Little Dolls " or " S.A.T.O " would have been great too. It was heavily lop sided with the Blizzard songs and only two songs off of DOAMM, " Believer " and " Flying High Again ", which are okay but not as good as the others I mentioned, at least not to me. lol

[@Metla666]

How about a show on lost live albums that have come back at a later date? Such as all the tracks added to Unleashed in the east, side 4 of Live after death being removed and then added back a few years later, or the full show recording of Maiden Japan that blows away the Live EP...

[@Canuck1000]

Maiden Japan was supposed to be a 2-LP live album, but was reduced to a 4- or 5-song EP (depending on the version) after Paul D was fired. The management decided that it would not be good to release a double LP when the singer was no longer in the band and a new album with a new singer was going to be released a few months later. I enjoyed listening to the bootleg version of Maiden Japan (the full show where the songs were recorded). I like your idea for the subject.

[@patrickmurphy4297]

ah...someone else besides me has found the entire "Maiden Japan" show...it's killer, isn't it?...

[@fordy701]

Pete, you're so right about Queen Live At Wembley '86, they left off so many good live songs, the 2 you mentioned as well as Somebody To Love (you only have to see Montreal '81 or Milton Keynes '82 DVD's to see how great it is), Spread Your Wings, Stone Cold Crazy, You're My Best Friend, Don't Stop Me Now, Play The Game,Dragon Attack, etc. That's why Montreal and Milton Keynes will always be superior. Maybe the band were getting tired by 1986 so had to dial back the physicality by doing some low-key acoustic covers.

[@kennyrichey3238]

We did lose Larry Junstrom from 38 Special in 2019. He was their bass player from 1977 - 2014. I had picked Molly Hatchet before you ended with them! Yes take off 'Freebird' & 'Satisfied Man'. My choice would be 'Sweet Dixie' & 'Good Rockin'.

Just saw Stewart Copeland “Police Deconstructed”. He did a fantastic job of reimagining the mainstay Police songs with an orchestra and female vocalists! He is still one of the fastest and yet precise drummers I have ever seen! And being here in Northern Indianapolis, was that Nick D’Virgilio filling in on drums when Copeland was conducting!? With Nick living about 90 minutes north of Indy it could be. But Copeland didn’t introduce anyone. ☹️

I did a podcast episode on this idea... I almost think you've been tricked by the title of "Sha La La" and forgetting how awesome it is.

I saw that tour in the Fall of 1976, I believe it was. I do not recall them playing anything from Wired other than Blue Wind. REO Speedwagon opened and played what was to become "You Get What You Play For" album in its entirety. Beck and Hammer had very little material between them and Beck didn't come on stage until well after Hammer and band had gotten pretty deep into their set. Those bootlegs are from a different band perhaps

[@peterr1001]

One of my favourite live albums is Space Ritual from Hawkwind. I'm not sure I would take anything out, but there has to be a way to include Silver Machine, which is an amazing song as well as being their hit. Perhaps it could have been done as an encore?

[@aldebaran4154]

I don't mind live cover songs if it a true representation of the tour involved. Like Roadhouse Blues on Blue Öyster Cult's Extra Terrestrial Live. That pretty much was their encore song on their early to mid 80's tours. One live album I'd like a song change is Utopia's Another Live. Take off The Move's Do Ya, although it may have spurred Jeff Lynne to re-record it with ELO. I would put another original song or at least a Rundgren solo song on it.

[@TheIslandersDynasty]

'The Rocker' is still a good jam by Thin Lizzy. Even the studio version. I also enjoy 'Rocker' by AC/DC. Great sound.

Fun topic. The idea for Rush is spot on. That would have been killer. I’m one that know matter how good a job a band does on cover songs I would much rather have their own songs on a live album.

[@andyshelton4889]

The reissues have those songs.😀❤️🎼

[@katesjanice]

Great shirt Pete! I’m watching on my phone so it’s pretty small & not really clear. But I’d know that logo anywhere. Can’t see below the logo…which concert or album was it from?

[@scottricci5063]

Unleashed In The East is about as perfect of a live album for Judas Priest at that time period. What would make it absolutely more killer is if they would've added a few more tracks from Stained Class to the set list. Like maybe Saints In Hell, Savage or even Stained Class. But I don't think I would remove any of it's current songs.

[@danbal4185]

100%agree. Saints in hell or even White heat, red hot

[@scottricci5063]

@@danbal4185 hear, here. Cheers!

[@mattirealm]

As much as I like Rainbow On Stage, it does feel weak! Pete's picks for changed songs on that one are perfect! I think the album is more remembered because of Ronnie James Dio (huge fan here) as opposed to the quality of the setlist; or lack of. Very interesting topic and video here.

[@R2Zmedia]

Great episode!

[@bigj4426]

Damn @martinpopoff! Six hours?! Did he try to sell you a timeshare when you were at it too?! 🤣🤣 I love this topic. Especially the Priest pick. Totally agree with that one with adding Grinder or SFV. Maybe something like Dissident Aggressor too. 👍 I was actually thinking about a topic the other day when I was talking to one of my friends that maybe you guys might find interesting, and we actually . Actually two. First is “Top 10 Songs That Put You in a Trance” and second is “Top 10 Songs That When You Hear Them Put You Right Back to a Specific Moment in Your Life” with examples. Cheers boys!

[@WhizzRichardThompson]

I'm surprised the original Live At Leeds album wasn't mentioned. Less covers and more originals would have made the album so much more representative of their live act at the time.

[@patrickmurphy4297]

more than likely that the re-issue included the entire show. But I agree.

[@tracypresler4644]

If You Want Blood is fantastic and is great as it is

[@andrewcarr5923]

Queen released very few official live albums and it could be argued that they heavily promoted the studio album live that was released at that time, sadly for reasons known only to them they discarded the majority of their 70's catalogue in the 80's whether that was because of changes in Freddie's voice or maybe they just got comfortable/ lazy with the same old set.

[@MartinPopoff]

I dunno, I remember sort of two and a half, for a band that was 17-ish years max, that's pretty good.

[@thekivster]

Hope you do another episode on this topic

[@tylerenns8730]

Everyone should take a shot of fireball every time Pete says "no brainer".

[@patrickmurphy4297]

or, in his shows about his favorite albums from a certain time period, every time he introduces the album with "yes indeed." :0)

[@tylerenns8730]

That works too lol @@patrickmurphy4297

[@JohnnyRecently]

I remember feeling disappointed that Free-For-All was not included on Nugent's Double Live Gonzo. I also would have liked Queen Of The Forest and Snake Skin Cowboys.

[@EnemyKnown]

Social Distortion - Live At The Roxy is almost perfect, great mix of older classics & new songs (at the time) but they forgot Sick Boy

[@Silas.Marner]

I'm gonna take this opportunity to give Queen's "Live Killers" a shout-out.

[@mikejohnson7225]

Good live album but where’s Somebody to Love and Fat Bottomed Girls? It’s a double album so I’m sure they could have squeezed them in somewhere.

[@Silas.Marner]

@@mikejohnson7225 valid point. Queen Live At The Bowl has both of those songs. Maybe that's the better choice.

[@nicodom641]

Saxon The Eagle Has Landed : no Dallas 1 P.M., no Denim and Leather, no And The Bands Played On, weird choice, they played them on the '82 tour. I think Fire In The Sky and Machine Gun are not bad but they're not as good as these 3 songs.

[@karstenklein2232]

Interesting. I like this.

[@jasonpizzo2897]

The only problem I see here is that a lot of the songs you guys suggest were not played on the corresponding tours... like "Monkey Man". Woulda been great, but they didn't have a live version to include.

[@chrismoyse3529]

Four immediately spring* to mind: Exit stage left - Limelight OYFOOYK - Astronomy and Stairway to the Stars On Stage - Stargazer MIJ - Speed King

[@stephenbrown4211]

Quo Live - Paper Plane Supertramp Paris-,Give A Little Bit If You Want Blood - Fling Thing which was the intro to Rocker at the time. Would include Stargazer but it’s Pete’s pick. Of course it was on Live in Germany.

[@patrickmurphy4297]

...I agree about Supertramp...I believe the re-issue has that song. :0)...at least it's on my copy, anyway!

[@markalexander7397]

Tomorrow and Tonight-KISS Alive II. Replace it with "Take Me"

[@michaelvandiver2475]

Or Love 'em Leave 'em! I know they played Take Me though on that Love Gun tour a lot.

[@JoeDibiase386]

Agreed. That song sucks

[@logancollins7097]

Somebody doesnt want to rock all day or roll all night 😂

[@danebrackvitch4901]

Live In Cologne by Rainbow is their best. I'm unclear why there is no live version of Light In The Black. So weird.

[@kennyrichey3238]

Rainbow first started out their Rainbow Rising Tour with A Light In The Black included in their set list right after playing Stargazer. But after a few shows it was too demanding & tiresome for Cozy to play back to back every night. So they took it off their set list. There might be a rare recording of it live somewhere.

[@mulicuy]

You could do the same show with studio albums. Remove filler tracks in favor of outtakes/singles/b-sides, etc. from the same year or so.

[@garyjoyce2160]

Another phenomenal. Fri AM in NJ with the duo. Thx guys. 👍💯

[@gregoryg3256]

Go Principal !

[@danbal4185]

Reckless Is One of the best heavy metal songs of the '80s

[@michaelvandiver2475]

Monkey Man and Gimme Shelter...both top 10 Stones song...GS is easily top 5.

[@colinrgage]

Another great show,agree 100% about if you want blood

[@Skycladatdusk78]

Slayer "Decade Of Aggression" a great double live album but the Hell Awaits album is under represented, it should have Kill Again and Praise Of Death. The limited edition does have At Dawn They Sleep.

[@gregoryg3256]

🌠 Good One Guys...I would have 2 think about that..if I was gonna put in my Ideas

[@btfvinylmagic1180]

Lots of matters I don't agree. On stage is missing Stargazer of course but what is on that vinyl is dynamite. I would not keep out Mood for a day and Rick Wakeman's solo but The Fish. Live/Life to me is superior and more modern than Live and dangerous. Two great live albums. I can'0t see much difference in quality

[@dougstern939]

For me Exit Stage Left needs more audience to feel more live

[@patrickmurphy4297]

the production is bass-heavy and "sterile."

[@brucedickinson12]

Dallas 1pm . The eagle has landed . Saxon .

[@markhuntington9149]

Just wanted to chime in 'Snaz' - I totally agree with you Pete and I think Martin you give it a 6 in your 80's metal book. I think they missed an opportunity after 'Hair of the Dog' - that would have been the perfect time for Nazareth to put out a live record after four of their strongest (and most rockin') LPs. 'Snaz just doesn't do it for me, the covers are definitely a problem but also - why a keyboard player? It ruins "This Flight Tonight" and I hear it on 'Hair of the Dog' for Christ's sake??? Why??? 'Razamanaz' and 'Beggars' Day' are good and 'Telegram' is well done but much of the rest - not so much. Again a missed opportunity and a sign that the 80's would be a tough slog for them - if only they continued to be a hard rock band....
