Various Artists - Live 1

Live performances from some great acts...from my CD collection.

James Taylor, along with Joni Mitchell, Crosby Stills & Nash, Jackson Brown and others supplied a softer more lyrical side of the late 60's/early 70's musical scene, to contrast with the beginnings of Rock. These tracks appear on his 1982 double CD 'Live'.
Santana have been one of my favourite bands since their debut release in 1968. Here from the double CD  'Viva Santana' (1988).
Eric Clapton has been an inspiration to me since the early 60's - Here is a great Blues performance of the Freddie King classic, from the 2 CD 'One More Car, One More Rider' live in 2002.
Little Feat were another fave band with Lowell George as front-man,vocalist and slide guitarist supreme. These tracks come from their double CD 'Waiting For Columbus' (2002) recorded in 1977.
The Neville Brothers from New Orleans, are another great live band that evolved out of the Meters and consisted of 4 brothers all with unique talents. 'Voodoo' comes from the CD 'Live On Planet Earth (1994).
King Curtis was a major session player and band leader during the 60's Soul scene. Here is a moving rendition of 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' (originally a hit for Procol Harum) from his CD 'Live At Fillmore West' (1971). He was tragically murdered on 13 August 1971.
Steely Dan Were a class act from their first album. Here is a live version of 'Babylon Sisters' from the CD 'Alive In America' (1995).
Van Morrison has been around since the early 60's with the band Them. He still releases good albums that continue to satisfy his many admirers. 'Into The Mystic' comes from his 1974 album 'It's Too Late To Stop Now'.
George Benson started as a fine bluesy Jazz guitarist in the late 50's. His vocal only came to prominence  on the album 'Breezin'. 'On Broadway' (originally by The Drifters)  comes from the CD 'Weekend In L.A. (1978).
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a brilliant blues based guitarist/vocalist that gave Blues music a shot in the arm from his first album 'Texas Flood' in 1983, until his tragic death in a helicopter crash on 27 August 1990. This wonderful version of 'Riviera Paradise' comes from the show he played the night he died. Fom the CD  'Sacred Sources - Live Forever'.
