1973 – 1974 – 1975

Roxy Music Viva 1973 to 1975

Viva is the first live album by glam / art rock group Roxy Music. It has been pulled together from three concerts at the Glasgow Apollo in November 1973, Newcastle City Hall in November 1974 and the Wembley Arena in London in October 1975.

This is Roxy Music after Brian Eno left. All three concerts feature his replacement Eddie Jobson.

I’m very conflicted about this live album and I’ve been putting off writing a review in the hope that we might get a remastered, extended version that takes away all my criticisms.

But I’ve been waiting for years to get a better version of Viva and I don’t even hear any rumours.

Tommy Bolin Live at Ebbets Field 1974

Live at Ebbets Field 1974 is the first live album by guitar great Tommy Bolin.

He’s probably most famous to rock fans for replacing Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple in 1975 and recording Come Taste The Band and the live albums This Time Around and On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat.

Before then he replaced Joe Walsh in The James Gang and this live album catches Tommy Bolin while he was thinking about leaving that group in June 1974 but before he joined Deep Purple.

Argent Encore 1974

Encore is a live album by progressive rock group Argent. It was recorded in 1974 as the group toured to promote their studio album Nexus.

Argent did the opposite journey to Genesis.

Argent turned from a high class but not very successful pop rock group to progressive rock while Genesis turned their back on progressive rock and became a highly accomplished pop rock group.

Encore catches Argent very much in their prog rock phase and if you don’t like keyboards and synthesisers you should probably move along.

Argent could well have been forgotten except for the big hit single Hold Your Head Up.

There is also a BBC Radio 1 In Concert live album by Argent at a similar time but it’s difficult to find at a reasonable price.

Mott The Hoople Live 1973 & 1974

Mott The Hoople Live is a live album recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon, 14 December 1973 and Uris Theatre, Broadway, New York on 8 and 9 May 1974.

This is an album that has seen a big improvement since it was reissued in 2004 with many more tracks.

Electric Light Orchestra The Night The Light Went On 1974

The Night The Light Went On In Long Beach is the first live album released by the Electric Light Orchestra. It was recorded in May 1974 in California.

There aren’t many official live albums for ELO when they were at the top of their success in the mid to late 1970s.

Rick Wakeman Journey to the Centre of the Earth 1974

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth is a recording of a live performance given by keyboard maestro Rick Wakeman at the Royal Festival Hall in London in January 1974.

Journey was the second solo album by Rick Wakeman and the first after he left Yes and is based on the Jules Verne story.

It must have been a stunning show as Rick Wakeman didn’t hold back on his ambitions.

Performing with him are the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Choir and a rock band that later became known as The English Rock Ensemble. The story is narrated by the actor David Hemmings.

Confusingly, to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of this album, Rick Wakeman re-recorded it in the studio and added back some extra songs that he’s written at the time. Wakeman then toured with this new version.

The first ever rock concert I went to was by Rick Wakeman on the No Earthy Connection tour in 1976. It was very impressive to see him surrounded by different keyboards and jumping from one to another with his long hair and cape flying. he also told some funny jokes.

Pink Floyd Live At Wembley 1974

When I was putting together my poll to let readers like you vote to decide what is the best Pink Floyd live album, I came up with the idea of creating Pink Floyd Live At Wembley 1974.

You can get a recording of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Raving and Drooling and You’ve Gotta Be Crazy from Wembley, London on the Experience and Immersion versions of Wish You Were Here.

All the tracks on Dark Side Of the Moon are available live from the same concert are available from the Experience remaster of the DSOTM album.

Shame they haven’t been bundled together to create one live album from the classic Floyd period but you have the technology to do it for yourself. Continue reading Pink Floyd Live At Wembley 1974
