1975 was the year when two of the most successful, career changing live albums were recorded – Frampton Comes Alive and Kiss Alive – although they were not released on the unsuspecting public until 1976. The history of rock music was changed and the live album floodgates opened even more.
It also includes two live albums that I highly recommend, Bruce Springsteen at Hammersmith Odeon and the J Geils Band who wanted to Blow Your Face Out.
The live albums recorded in 1975 include:
