1977 – 1978 – 1979

Eddie And The Hot Rods Live In Concert 1978

BBC Radio One Live in Concert is a live album by Eddie And The Hot Rods that was recorded for the a radio broadcast.

Eddie and the Hot Rods were a group that emerged from the pub rock scene in Britain playing louder, faster and more aggressively than normal. They helped open up the market for punk rock and the Sex Pistols and The Clash.

Their earliest success was with the Live at the Marquee EP featuring a blisteringly fast version of Bob Seger’s Get Out Of Denver.

Unfortunately it didn’t do them any good. They weren’t punks but they didn’t fall into the classic rock or the emerging AOR categories either.

I think this album comes from concerts in 1977 and 1978.

Jethro Tull Bursting Out 1978

Bursting Out is the first live album by progressive folk and blues group Jethro Tull that was recorded on the European leg of the Heavy Horses tour in 1978.

Jethro Tull are a hard band to classify but I’ve found over the years that I’ve acquired quite a few of their studio albums.

Al Green Tokyo Live 1978

Tokyo Live is a live recording of Al Green performing in Japan in June 1978. It his only mainstream live soul album.

If you want more Al Green, there is the Gospel Concert recording but reviews aren’t encouraging. Sound quality appears to be the problem but I haven’t heard it myself.

Tokyo Live is excellent.

Al Green Tokyo Live – Overall Rating 26/30

UFO The Official Bootleg Box Set 1975 to 1985

The Official Bootleg Box Set is a compilation of seven UFO concerts from 1975 to 1985. It covers both the Michael Schenker and Paul Chapman years.

If Strangers In the Night isn’t enough live UFO for you, then this is a great place to turn.

Early versions of the box set went from 1975 to 1982 but it has been extended.

Yes Yesshows 1976-78

Yesshows is the second live album from Yes and captures the group live between 1976 and 1978. This is when Yes and the other dinosaur bands were being challenged by punk.

During the period Yes changed keyboard players with Patrick Moraz leaving and Rick Wakeman returning. Moraz plays on the two very long tracks, The Gates of Delirium and Ritual – Nous Sommes du Soleil with Wakeman on the others.

Van Der Graaf Generator Vital 1978

Vital is the first live album from progressive rock group Van Der Graaf Generator. It was recorded at the Marquee Club in London in January 1978.

For some reason Generator was dropped from the name and the album is billed as Van Der Graaf.

Graham Parker The Parkerilla 1978

The Parkerilla is the first live album by Graham Parker & The Rumour released to the general public from the Stick To Me tour in 1978.

It had three LP sides live and an alternative studio version of Don’t Ask Me Question on the fourth side. This made it controversial and following the disappointing Stick To Me album, there was a critical backlash against Graham Parker in favour of Elvis Costello.

In 1991, Rolling Stone ranked The Parkerilla number 64 on its list of 100 greatest album covers.
