Live In Preston 1980
Joy Division
This gig, taped at the Warehouse in Preston, took place during the final round of UK dates Joy Division was to play before jetting off to the US.
Preston 28 February 1980 is a truly awesome and atmospheric record, and though it's a warts-and-all document, it almost revels in the technical difficulties the band had with the sound system. At one moment, Ian Curtis even declares that "everything's falling apart!"

Live At The Apollo
James Brown
Live At The Apollo
James Brown
Many albums are hyped as legendary; few deserve the accolade. 'Live at the Apollo 1962' is one of those rare albums that lives up to the hype.
Released despite label misgivings, 'Live at the Apollo' cemented James Brown's reputation as the unchallenged master of soul music. Deejays played the entire album at one stretch - this in an era when radio programmers rejected four-minute singles because they were too long - and the record reached number two on the billboard pop chart, a previously unheard-of achievement for a gritty R&B album.
'Live at the Apollo' is more than a pop phenomenon, however; it is a document of one of America's greatest performers at the peak of his artistic powers. Brown's singing is orgasmic - just listen to the opening squeal on 'I Go Crazy' - and the intensity never lets up. Brown drives his crack band through breakneck versions of early hits before dragging them through the 11-minute bump-and-grind of 'Lost Someone', the high point of a show that is nothing but high points.
Decades later, this is still one of the greatest live albums of all-time.

Live At The Pier 1993
Nirvana
Live At The Pier 1993
Nirvana
This is one of the wildest shows by Nirvana … and could easily be the considered the antithesis to the band’s Unplugged performance in New York.
The iconic band performed at Seattle’s Pier 48 on December 13, 1993 while on tour in support of ‘In Utero’. The show featured their final live line-up of Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.
Kurt’s vocals are absolutely blistering. The band feeds off of the audience’s energy which is quickly whipped into a frenzy.
As an anarchic finale, the band members proceeded to jam on some noisy riffs while using their instruments to violently wreck much of the stage-set’s props. This set is Nirvana at their iconic best.

At Newport 1960
Muddy Waters
At Newport 1960
Muddy Waters
Legend Muddy Waters offers us one of his best performance of all time.
The cover photograph of Muddy Waters holding John Lee Hooker's guitar gave the impression that he was at a folk festival rather than the prestigious Newport Jazz Festival. However, the record revealed the King of Chicago blues at his very best, shouting his music above the discordant wail of a band that included Otis Spann, James Cotton, Pat Hare, and Francis Clay.
Film of the event shows a sharply dressed Waters shimmying and jiving around the stage with the energy of a man half his age. Some of that atmosphere is apparent on the record, in a program that includes Hoochie Coochie Man, Big Bill Broonzy's I Feel So Good, then-recent singles I Got My Brand on You and Soon Forgotten, and a massive Got My Mojo Working. The set ends in poignant mood with the announcement of the end of the festival and Otis Spann's improvised Goodbye Newport Blues.
