Dave Matthews Band "Live at Red Rocks 8.15.95"
Dave Matthews Band is known for their live performance
prowess, but this recording is special in many ways. Upon its release, the recording proved Dave
Matthews Band to be far beyond the clean-cut, goody boys rock band persona they
gained from Under The Table and Dreaming. This recording of the 1995 show features
early live versions (some with alternate lyrics) of songs recorded for Crash before they were honed in the
studio. Their performance of these songs
off their first three albums are proof no Dave Matthews Band concert should be
missed. Stand Out Tracks: Seek Up, Lie In Our Graves,
All Along The Watchtower.

Dire Straits "On the Night"
Mark Knopfler brought Dire Straits together for a short tour
in support of their final album in 1991 On
Every Street. What amazes me about
this album is how Mark Knopfler managed to arrange every song to fit the touring
band (made up of obviously some of the best country and rock session musicians
on the planet). Also, the songs which
weren't big hits for the band are the most magnificent. The emotion and stage were grand for this
performance causing me to appreciate the songs on an entirely different level. Stand Out Tracks:
Romeo & Juliet, Private Investigations, Brothers In Arms.
Pink Floyd "Pulse"
Pink Floyd released this live recording of their final tour.
Album context is huge when understanding and appreciating Pink Floyd's music. However, this live performance created a new
context for many of their best songs while keeping the performance of Dark Side of the Moon intact. The performance is arranged and recorded so
perfectly it still baffles me how they pulled it off live. Stand Out Tracks: Dark Side Of The Moon, Comfortably Numb,
High Hopes.
