O/T Artists/bands you saw live how did they sound compared to their studio music?

[Brin]

Brin - you see the problem now of dangling your titles? People don't actually answer the question you posed.

If the thread bar was longer.......I'd fit it all on

Just a bit of editing and I managed it

None I've seen have sounded very different from their records.

Bands with weak singers like The Stone Roses and New Order sound very different live.

Deep Purple
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Rainbow
Judas Priest (in Rotherham ! Anyone else there ?)
Def Leppard (Again once in Rotherham, Clifton Hall)

Not seen many live performances over the years and it’s something I regret now. I should have made more of an effort.
Did see the specials on Herringthorpe though.

Saw the Robert cray band at the limit. Went on a recommendation, i had never heard of him let alone any of his music, so no idea really of what to expect.
Wow, He was fantastic, best live show I’ve ever seen.

At the other end of the spectrum, The mighty Wah ( story of the blues fame! ) at the leadmill. Very poor performance.

and the answer to the OP is?

[sota]

Wouldn't bore me Big'un, some great stuff there. I too saw Lizzy a few times and I have Phil's belt from a City Hall gig, you wouldn't believe how tiny Phil's waist was.
PS for CA, Lizzy were even better live :-)

I could put another list longer than the one above. Live music is always great even if the band etc do not do it like it is recorded.

Indeed. I doubt that Keef has played the opening riff to Honky Tonk Women exactly the same for almost 60 years but it seems to go down well.
