My best friends from High School and University days... Friday and Saturday nights all winter hit the Winnipeg live band scene... which was fantastic...
Absolutely love live acts... live crowds live environments...
I'm glad you noticed... I do prefer to post live versions of bands previous studio versions...
The best bands of all genre's progress, get better and evolve to a much higher level... and live in action is truly inspirational...
I'll give another band as an example that has matured and become absolutely brilliant in their live studio and not acts... Radiohead... I liked their albums... their mature, many years later live studio stuff is brilliant and polished bright like the sun... so incredibly much better...
Examples - Album Original Version vs Live:
versus...
The album version is over produced and much less soulfull... the Live Studio Version shows their progressions as masters of their art and mature... plus the obvious emotion visuals and musicianship... and you can tell they are just loving the moment... real passion...
Another example original Album Version vs not studio really and live:
versus...
The album version over produced again... muddled elongated... experimental... Live, outdoor collaboration with just 2 of the band... Thom and Johnny... as a YouTube comment beneath the video says " This is gorgeous, magical...transcendental.".... couldn't explain it better...
Lets take another genre... Interpol...
Album:
Live:
The Live is a simple yet atmospheric, powerful dirivitive of the orginal... "the cigarette smoking guitar" just by itself sets the live stage act experience apart from the sterile Album version...
I could go on... but thanks
