Live Music
This time of year makes me think of live music. Some musicians can't make a live album to save their lives - ha, ha. For example, I enjoy Foreigner but they have no business making a live album. I am similarly unimpressed with Alan Parson's live work. AC/DC does nothing for me on a live recording either.
However, there are some great live songs and here is my humble attempt to list the greatest:
I'm sure that I've missed some great ones, but my newest iPod Playlist is in good shape for this weekend.

That reminds me of songs that I forgot to add to my live mix. I need Chris Wall, I Feel Like Singing Along, from Any Saturday Night in Texas. I need Jerry Jeff Walker, What I Like About Texas, from Viva Luchenbach. I need Jack Ingram, Make My Heart Flutter, from Live at Adairs. I also forgot REO Speedwagon, Ridin' the Storm Out, from Live: You Get What You Play For.
