New "Astral Weeks Live"


Van still has it. This is a very good disc as most of you know. Recording is so,so but because it's live it just has an emotional involvment that can't be denied. It's not always about great recordings you know. Hearing this great old standby redone is a delight! Buy it! You wont regret it.

"then you're not a music lover at all!"

I'll probably regret not remaining silent, but this and similar statements that admonish others as not being "true (whatever),for having different preferences is...what's the word I'm looking for...oh yes, perfect: "Bull@$&t!"
Philefreak, I couldn't agree with you more, that live music is where it's at; but not because of coughing, hoots,and hollers, but in spite of them. Besides, in your first post, you weren't comparing a live event with a studio recording, you were talking about the recording of a live event, which is no more live that a studio recording. I will grant you that an enthusiastic audience can inspire a great performance.
