Just remembered Judy Tzuke. She was always better live.
The Ramones were brilliant live. Even better than the records if that was possible. Saw the Oysterband at the local festival. they were good.
Here and Now + 1
Fantasy Shift in the car cd player
Its 30 years ago though...
Skindred, really not my kind if music but saw them live and a fantastic performance.
Orbital, seen them live loads over the last 20 years, never a bad show but the albums always slightly disappoint
Fun-Da-Mental (the original band - before they replaced the singer and became just-another-nineties-indie-rap-band) - a few interesting singles. Live...well it was 20+ years ago ...I've seen hundreds of bands ...and I still get goose bumps remembering that gig.
Fishbone. One very good album, the rest mediocre(IMHO). Live - brilliant.
Reverend Horton Heat ....with a psychobilly rendition of 'Paranoid'.
Bellowhead - far better live.
Mark Lanegan, Nick Cave, Public Enemy, SLF, Motorhead, Iggy Pop - There's something that a few have live, that others just....don't.
The Ramones - say no more.
Slightly off topic, but I didn't really "get" the Animal Collective till I saw them.
