One For The Road is a live album by The Kinks recorded at concerts between March1979 and March 1980.
Live in Philadelphia 1978 & Dallas 1980 is an early live album by new wave / power pop group Blondie.
This album has also been packaged as Picture This Live.
I lost count of the number of posters of Debbie Harry i saw when I was a student between 1978-1981. Her face and body was virtually everywhere and her sex kitten image tended to overshadow what a good group Blondie were.

Live Shots is a live album by Joe Ely from a concert recorded in 1980.
This catches Joe Ely in his country/honky tonk stage and is very different from the Live Chicago 1987 album that was my first experience of his music. Surprisingly, Joe Ely was touring with The Clash in the UK.
Captured is the first live album by AOR group Journey and collects together live recordings from their tour to promote the Departure studio album between March and October 1980.

XTC Live In Concert is a BBC1 Radio recording of the group performing in December 1980 while they were promoting the Black Sea studio album.
I remember XTC well as a quirky new wave group that rode the wave of interest in new bands created by punk rock. I also remember an intense performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test TV show.
Unfortunately they stopped touring in 1982 when promoting their next album, English Settlement. Singer and guitarist Andy Partridge suffered severely from stage fright and suffered a mental breakdown at a gig in Paris in March 1982.It seems that he had become addicted to valium and his wife through out his supply without any discussion or consideration of the effects of withdrawal.
Their live performances stopped and they developed into a more sophisticated studio band.
Hanx is a live album by Irish punk band Stiff Little Fingers and was recorded at concerts in July 1980.
Live In New Orleans is the first live album by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly and was recorded in the city in November 1980. It also included four new studio recorded songs.
Frankie Beverly is the smooth voiced leader and songwriter of the band.
I have mixed feelings about this “live” album.

Eagles Live is the first live album by country rock group The Eagles and was mainly recorded in late July 1980 at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California. Five extra songs were recorded in October 1976 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Wikipedia reports that Glenn Frey and Don Henley mixed the album on opposite coasts and it’s said to be heavily doctored.
Live In Germany is a live album by Southern boogie rock group ZZ Top and was recorded at the Grugahalle in Essen, Germany for the Rockpalast TV series. It was from their 1980 tour to promote the Deguello album.
This is ZZ Top before they changed their sound for MTV success with songs like Sharp Dressed Man. You have been warned.
