There’s something about seeing the music you love performed live. While studio albums may have more polish, there’s an anergy and immediacy at a live performance that just can’t be beat. While some bands and solo artists from the 1970s are still active, many have now retired, or passed away, or the band has broken up – it was half a century ago, after all – and getting to a show is impossible. Well, thank goodness so many of the great concerts from that time were recorded and released on live albums.  Live albums are time machines, they take us back to the electrifying atmosphere, the crowd, the groove, the sweaty realness of the performance. On this week’s show we play some of our favourite tracks from some of the great live albums from the 1970s.
