[kj] Albums of the Year

[GREG SLAWSON]

I have a few live bootlegs of the Clash (on cassette--old school) and the pre-Sandinista tour ones are great but the Sandinista tour is a bit lame (too much diddly guitar noodling)--and I'm not being biased b/c Sandinista is not only my fave Clash album but probably my fave album of all time. It seems to me that the wildly diverse stuff on that album worked out great in the studio, but they had some trouble making it work live. Also, the live on TV "Magnificent 7" and "Radio Clash" that's on that new dvd is nothing great either--I much prefer the recored versions... > From: partyslammer at socal.rr.com> To: gathering at misera.net> Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 16:04:57 -0800> Subject: Re: [kj] Albums of the Year> > "Alexander Smith" wrote:> > Likewise, I just haven't had the time, but I've absolutely adored THE> GOLDEN HOUR by Firewater, PEEL SESSIONS and DUENDE by Killing Joke,> CARRIED TO DUST by Calexico and LIVE AT SHEA STADIUM by The Clash.> > +++++++++> > I've long wanted full officially released shows (aside from bootlegs) from > The Clash but have held off buying the Shea Stadium cd mainly because I > thought they were very lackluster when I saw them in LA opening for The Who, > especially compared to when I saw them before at the Hollywood Palladium at > the very beginning of the Combat Rock tour.
