Soul Live Albums
Are you ready to testify to your feeling?
Soul music has come out of combining gospel with the blues and it’s nothing if it doesn’t have passion.
There are live albums here that will take you back to a late night, sweaty club where the band punches hard when it needs to and then lightens up for the singer to pour out his heart and soul… screaming, shouting, singing so sweetly, whispering, hollering… whatever the style, you know the singer feels it.
There are some great live soul albums in this category by Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and many more.

I started to record the albums I was playing in February 2015 because I realised that there could well be a difference between those albums I think are excellent and those that I turn to play time after time.

Live at the Regal is a live album by Gene Chandler. It has also been released as Live On Stage In ’65.
It was recorded in Chicago in 1965.
Live At The Fillmore East October 4th & 5th 1968 is a box set of live recordings by Sly And The Family Stone.
What we have are four different sets of Sly Stone performing live (two per night) in New York in an even earlier set than the Woodstock performance. By this stage, the band had released their third studio album Life but it’s before the big hits which started with Everyday People released in November 1968. It’s also before Sly Stone was overtaken by his drug addiction.

Live In Los Angeles is the second live album by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly to be released. It is also available in some regions as a DVD.
It was recorded at the Universal Amphitheatre on 1 January 1986 and follows on from the excellent Live In New Orleans.
It comes in two formats:
Both are readily available and therefore care needs to be taken to make sure you get the version you want. Like the earlier New Orleans album, it has been extended by the inclusion of new tracks recorded in the studio. This is odd considering the latest version is still criticised for not including the full concert.
