The Who Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2000

Live At The Royal Albert Hall is a live album by The Who recorded on 27 November 2000.

This is the same version of the band that is so good on Blues To The Bush.

It was a charity gig for the Teenage Cancer Trust and this attracted some big name guest stars… but do you really think they are better singers than Roger Daltrey?

Van Der Graaf Generator Real Time 2005

Real Time is a live album by progressive rock group Van Der Graaf Generator which captures their reunion concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England on 6th May 2005.

I think of Van Der Graaf Generator as hard-core progressive rock. If you’re attracted to them by the similarities between Peter Hammill and Peter Gabriel’s voices then you need to be aware that there is none of the Genesis whimsy.

VDGG didn’t play it for laughs and you have to be in the right mood to appreciate the beautiful but depressing music. Then it can be remarkably uplifting.
