Is this a great live album?

Is it the best live album by Iggy Pop and/or The Stooges?

The Best Live Albums Of All Time

I’m classifying this album mainly as proto-punk (i.e. it inspired the development of punk and new wave music in the mid to late 1970s). I don’t yet have a poll for it.

It’s also hard rock so you may be interested in voting in the best hard rock and heavy metal live albums poll.

Status Quo Live Boxset 1974 1976

The Status Quo Live boxset collects together three live concert recordings by Status Quo:

  • The 1976 Glasgow concert that features in the Status Quo Live double album.
  • The 1976 Live In Japan aka Tokyo Quo album from the Sunplaza Hall which was originally only released in Japan.
  • Live In Sydney 1974 recorded at Hordern Pavilion

Since fans will already have the Status Quo Live album with the Glasgow concert, the boxset is expensive for what it offers. There is a cheaper option for the mp3 version which gives you a chance to get either or both of the Tokyo and Sydney recordings.

Blue Oyster Cult On Your Feet Or On Your Knees 1974

On Your Feet Or On Your Knees is the first live album by Blue Oyster Cult, recorded at various concerts in 1974 promoting the Secret Treaties studio album.It was released in 1975.

Blue Oyster Cult’s speciality is melodic, guitar-based hard rock with sci-fi and occult or evil themes. The titles are often worse than the songs and may mislead you.

I’m wary of groups that lean towards the occult like Black Sabbath but BOC had some good tunes that kept bringing me back.To help you to decide if the songs are appropriate for you, I’ve linked to the lyrics
