Live In Portland 89 is a live album by Heart.
It was recorded in Portland, Oregon on May 12, 1989 and has been released by Air Cuts. I think this is a former radio broadcast and not an official release by the band. I’ve read that copyright protection on these albums is weaker in Europe.

Dean E Smith Activity Center University Of Carolina Sept 13 1989 is a live album by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
It was recorded on the Strange Behaviour tour as they promoted Petty’s solo album Full Moon Fever. This is a radio broadcast that has now been released on CD and mp3 (in the UK) on the Klondike label so it isn’t a TP approved product.

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.

Join Together is a recording of The Who performing live in 1989.
It was the first time a live version of Tommy was released although this has also subsequently appeared on an extended The Who Live At Leeds Live At Hull and Live At The Isle Of Wight Festival.
Tommy was played on this tour because the group were celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of the original studio album. Personally I’ve never thought the songs – and especially the studio album – live up to the good reputation it has.
Prepare yourself. Join Together is a very different listening experience to the other live albums by The Who because it features brass.
I’ve heard it called “The Who Las Vegas style” but I like it. You do need an open mind and it comes as quite a shock if you’ve loved Live At Leeds and you want a similar roar in the live recordings of the later songs.
