The People's Hero Posted 20 March 2006 Posted 20 March 2006 Anyone ever been really impressed with a band live but just found them bland on recording? Or how about impressed with the recorded work but found them to be a complete turn off live? A few stand out for me. Goldfrapp - Loved them live. Hadn't heard much of their stuff by then, only knew a few. Got all the albums now. The albums are alright... but live was something else... can take or leave the recordings. Bluetones - The albums never did much for me, saw them supporting The Beautiful South (who were brilliant) and they actually put on a top show. Lots of energy and some cracking tunes. Bob Dylan - Just wanted to comment how different it was seeing him live. As many of you will know, much of his stuff was done AGES ago, although some brilliant stuff has been done in the last ten years. Now though he cannot play guitar (arthritis I think) and so he sings whilst doing some limited keyboarding... Still brilliant live. Also completely changes the arrangements of his songs live. Legend. Reef - Just expected so much more from these guys live. Some of their early stuff was really good.. saw them about 2 or 3 years ago and all the energy and vitality about them was gone. Pretty lame. Dissappointing.
The People's Hero Posted 21 March 2006 Author Posted 21 March 2006 Fine... don't reply you bunch of inbred wankers.
Nationwider Posted 21 March 2006 Posted 21 March 2006 I'd like to see Goldfrapp sometime. I've liked all three albums and Ms Goldfrapp is a hotty, in an unconventional way. I can dig quirky when it's backed up by outrageous talent. Ash - love the records, saw them live....probably on an off night, as they were pish. I still love the records though.
hairy Posted 21 March 2006 Posted 21 March 2006 Back To The Planet were great live and poor in the studio. Rhythmites too. Beautiful People were great in the studio and utter crap live.
Bert Posted 21 March 2006 Posted 21 March 2006 Most manufactured bands/artists seem ok recorded but ABSOLUTLY shocking live.
Jay Posted 21 March 2006 Posted 21 March 2006 Reel Big Fish amazing live band with a great show but their albums just don't have the same impact
Strokes Posted 21 March 2006 Posted 21 March 2006 Green Day, wasn't really into them until i seen them live, to which they were amazing, best live band i have ever seen.
Deathside Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 Back To The Planet were great live and poor in the studio. Rhythmites too. Beautiful People were great in the studio and utter crap live. Rhythmites, Rhythmites, Rhythmites - That's doing my nut - I know I saw them a few times many years ago but I can't for the life of me remember who the hell they were???? Please remind me (It much have been during my Cider years)
Deathside Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 Reel Big Fish amazing live band with a great show but their albums just don't have the same impact I thought RBF were turd in all circumstances - Sorry they are a band who really annoy me
Deathside Posted 22 March 2006 Posted 22 March 2006 Green Day, wasn't really into them until i seen them live, to which they were amazing, best live band i have ever seen. Live GD pÃÂssed me off so much that I left long before the end of their set - Any band who expect me to sing hey hey hey hey, whoa whoa whoa hoe can fúck right off Another band who seriously annoy me
werestandingup_weresittingdown Posted 24 March 2006 Posted 24 March 2006 TPH - Completely agree with Goldfrapp comments. Still like their recorded stuff but live they are absolutely fantastic!! Chemical Brothers - never a huge fan of their cd's but again, when live, different class! they absolutely rocked!!
hairy Posted 24 March 2006 Posted 24 March 2006 Rhythmites, Rhythmites, Rhythmites - That's doing my nut - I know I saw them a few times many years ago but I can't for the life of me remember who the hell they were???? Please remind me (It much have been during my Cider years) Rhythmites were are reggae band signed to the blurrg label. They released two albums and joint eps with other bands such as Culture Shock. They used to play a lot of free festivals which makes sence of your cider reference. They also used to play the Charlotte every other month usually on a Sunday night. They split when the singer was done for GBH on his Missus. Shame because they were excellent live. Hope that helps Deathside

Hope that helps Deathside Aha - I think that's making sense - I went to see Culture Shock quite a few times in the late 80s and I think that'll be where I know The Rhythmites from PS - I think I was quite pÃÂssed up when I made my earlier posts in this thread - The sentiments remain unchanged though
