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.

Bob Seger Nine Tonight 1980
Nine Tonight is the second live album by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. It was recorded in 1980 in Detroit when Seger had become an international superstar.
Before his first live album, Live Bullet, Bob Seger was a hard working rock’n’roll singer who had gained a great reputation in his home territory of Detroit, Michigan but he wasn’t well known or very popular elsewhere in the USA or internationally.
Live Bullet is a fiery, energetic set which demanded attention and Seger had the nous to capitalise on it with his following commercial studio albums, Night Moves and Stranger In Town.
Releasing Nine Tonight was an obvious move to give the fans a chance to hear the new Seger show with the hits.
This album was remastered in 2011 and an extra song – Brave Strangers – has been added.

Rush Exit Stage Left 1980 & 1981
Exit Stage Left is the second live album by Rush after the success of their first, All The World’s A Stage.
It was recorded at two concerts – June 10-11, 1980 at The Apollo, Glasgow, Scotland on the Permanent Waves tour and March 27, 1981 at The Forum, Montreal on the Moving Pictures tour.
This represents the peak time for the group as they changed their sound from the progressive heavy metal of All The World’s A Stage to a more classic rock style. They even started having hit singles with songs like Spirit Of the Radio and Tom Sawyer.
