Robert Palmer At The BBC is a recording of the singer and his band performing live in concert at the Hammersmith Palais in London on 31 May 1983.
I remember Frankie Miller, Jess Roden and Robert Palmer being grouped together in the mid 1970s as British soul/blues/rock singers who deserved more success. Palmer is the one who managed to get most attention but even he didn’t get the rewards he deserved.
Joe Jackson Live At The BBC collects together live recordings of Joe Jackson made by the BBC between 1979 and 1983.
Live 1980/86 is a collection of live recordings by Joe Jackson that collects songs from four different tours.
When it was a vinyl double album, each side represented a particular tour:
Greatest Hits Live is a live album by Journey.
Don’t be put off by the blatant commercial appeal of the title. It’s a better live album experience than you might expect from the name.
It was recorded at The Summit in Houston on November 5, 1981 and The Budokan in Tokyo, Japan on March 2, 1983. but not released until March 1998.
The Live In Houston 1981: The Escape Tour came from the night before at Houston.
The Police Live In Atlanta 1983 is the second CD in the two CD, two concert album The Police Live!. It is pulled together from two concerts on November 2nd and 3rd.
Because the two concert recordins are so different, I have decided to review them separately to help create a clearer review. The other CD is here – The Police Live In Boston 1979
Alchemy is the first live album released by Dire Straits.
It was recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on the 22nd and 23rd July 1983. It was released in March 1984.
Dire Straits may not have the best image in the 2010s but listening to this excellent album shows why they were so popular in the 1980s.
Serious Moonlight is a recording of the David Bowie concert in Vancouver on September 12, 1983.
It is available as an official live DVD and an unofficial live album CD. I would like David Bowie to tidy up this mess and release it as an authorised CD as there is definitely a place for it within the group of David Bowie live albums.
I haven’t been featuring live concert DVDs without an accompanying CD but I thought I’d make an exception. I’m not sure about the legality of the Serious Moonlight live album but it’s being sold by Play.com and cduniverse.com so I’m guessing that it has a grey status. Legal but not approved by David Bowie.
