Could the Floyd cut it without their former band leader and main song writer?

Bruce Springsteen Live 1975 – 85
Live 1975 – 85 was Bruce Springsteen‘s response to the demands for a live album.
He’s been one of the most bootlegged artists since the mid 70s and with Live 1975 – 85, he tried to produce an epic drawn from many different concerts recorded.
This album was released to follow up on the immense success of the Born In The USA album which made Springsteen a much bigger international star.
I was thrilled when it first came out as he had such a great reputation as a live performer but all it’s done is prove that there’s much more that could appear.

Queen Live At Wembley 1986
Live At Wembley is a souvenir of the last tour Queen did with Freddie Mercury in 1986 to promote the A Kind Of Magic album.
It’s sad to think that the group who had stolen the show at the Live Aid concert, the year before weren’t to tour again for nineteen years (2005) when they had Paul Rogers as the lead vocalist.
Their last concert was at Knebworth on 9th August 1986 and Mercury was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS the following year and died 24th November 1991.

Bob Dylan Real Live 1984
Real Live is a live album by Bob Dylan recorded in 1984 with a star backing band including ex Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor and Ian McLagen from The Faces at concerts in England and Ireland.
It was Taylor’s involvement that persuaded me to buy this Dylan album because I loved his guitar playing with the Stones (listen to it on Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out and Brussels Affair).
And I’m glad I did.
It’s not a classic but it’s well worth hearing.

The Who Who’s Last 1982
Who’s Last is the second live album released by The Who recorded in 1982 when the group was past its best and released in 1984.
Since Live At Leeds was recorded in 1970, this was the first chance to hear tracks from Who’s Next and Quadrophenia live but really, they shouldn’t have bothered.
It was their retirement record, released to mark the end of The Who.
I love The Who but there are much better live albums to choose from than this.
