Number 1 and 2 but can’t decide in which order. Been fortunate enough to meet the band a couple of year’s ago. Doubt I will ever find a band to top them

Have that on vinyl, very nice.
Amazing guitar skills from Jeff & Carmen & pretty good recording too 
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the best double album ever made! Gotta enjoy Elton while we still can…

Although excellent I might have to throw Moonflower by Santana in as one of my favourite double albums of all time.

Kevin…I have never even seen this album! I am a huge Carlos fan…easily one of the top 10 Ax players of all time!
Thanks…I will check it out!

It is a live album and some of his guitar playing on here is the finest I have ever heard from Carlos.
I think you will be impressed.
I saw Santana live back in England, maybe 78 or 79?
They were exceptional!

Not the biggest fan of Live recordings only because acoustics are usually crap the quality suffers when compared to studio albums! But the beauty of Qobuz (or any other streamer) is that I can listen to this selection moments after it is suggested!
I’ll get back with my impression after I get a chance to listen!
Cheers!
I agree totally on live recordings and I usually avoid them like the plague!
But this one…well listen and see what you think.
This, Joe Cocker Live and Hot Tuna acoustic live are possibly my 3 live albums I truly care for in the way of sq and overall listenability.
If you avoid live albums, you are seriously missing out IMHO. That’s where the magic happens, the perfect mistakes even. You get the energy of a live performance as opposed to the sterile studio nature.
Sorry but I will have to agree to disagree on that one.
The vast majority of live albums I have heard are either just badly recorded or badly played!
And yes on the latter I get well it’s real, warts and all but maybe I just don’t want the warts while relaxing in my listening chair.
At the actual venue with the atmosphere is a little different but in my house it does not have the same effect especially when I hear a painful struggle to hit the high notes!

I do, however, have to go backwards here…when I watch a DVD or Blu ray of a great concert, of an especially favorite artist …Live is good…But I’ve also been to concerts where the Mixer’s ears are toast or he’s stoned to the be-jesus or both and the sound is badly distorted…

Well it’s nearly April…lol
So my album of the month is this stupendous work of art by Counting Crows.
Try it on 2x45rpm vinyl reissue, your ears will thank you!!

One of my favorites too. From the opening singing on Round here, right to the end.
Hard not to enjoy it.

I have not…I will make a date with it though.
I was playing a Ronnie James Dio tribute album earlier which brought this fabulous album to mind.
One of my all time top rock/ metal albums.
Ronnie James Dio, Ritchie Blackmore, Cozy Powell. How could it fail?
I used to play side two on repeat over and over and over…lol.
Enjoy!
