March 27, 2020

July 10, 2015

Okay, the 1970s was my favorite decade for music, I have written about it many times.  The live album is a phenomenon of the decade, it was expected of artists, technology and recording techniques were improving, and they began to sell extremely well.  Live albums caught singers and bands in their element and in the … More 20 Influential Live Albums of the 1970s
