Rod Stewart Live 1976 – 1998 Tonight’s The Night

Live 1976 – 1998 Tonight’s The Night is a compilation live album by Rod Stewart that extends over 4 CDs.

The first disc is all from 1976, the second moves from 1976 to 1981, the third from 1984 to 1989 and the final disc from 1991 to 1998.

This then captures his career as he turned from a rocker with the Faces to a massively successful pop star.

The critical view is that he had “it” in the early 1970s with albums like Every Picture Tells A Story but he was losing it by the time Sailing and Atlantic Crossing appeared in 1975 and it was gone completely by the time that he turned to disco with Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.

That view probably needs to be refined. He continued to produce high quality singles with the odd exception, even if he’d lost that special creativity that he had in his younger days.

Marillion Real To Reel 1984

Real To Reel is a live album by prog rock group Marillion.

An extra song, Emerald Lies was added to the CD release. It is often sold with the Brief Encounters part-live EP added to it as a bonus.

Songs 1 to 4 were recorded on 19 & 20 June 1984 at the Montreal Spectrum in Canada while songs 5 to 7 were recorded on 5 March 1984, Leicester De Montfort Hall in England.

There is some confusion as to the source of the three live tracks on the Brief Encounters EP. It says that it was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon on January 9&10, 1986 but Fish can be heard to say “Leicester Goodnight” at the end of Fugazi. According to Wikipedia, both Fugazi and Script For a Jester’s Tear are likely to come from the same
Leicester concert in 1984 that features on the Real To Reel live album.
