Epic Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 In the early 70s in the Blackpool area the local midweek soul nights used to play Major Lance "Ain't No Soul" off The Torch album & "The Ghetto" from Donny Hathaway Live was massive in clubs in & around The Fylde Coast - it packed floors too !!!

Sjclement Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Always preferred the live cut of Donald Byrds Dominoes to the studio cut and GSH's live cuts of Home is where the hatred is and the Bottle are pretty lively (in a jazz funk kinda way) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Md Records Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm pretty sure I remember the live version of "George Benson - On Broadway" getting a few spins back in the late 1970's/early 1980's Des Parker Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Md Records Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I haven't got the record to hand, but doesn't the crowd go mad when George sings "cos I can play this here guitar" it's slowly coming back to me!! Des Parker Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Matt Male Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) I'd like to hear Les McCann and Eddie Harris' live version of Compared To What more often.

The Jimmy Michaels edit of course. A work of art and one of the greatest live recordings I've ever heard. Both "Joy & Pain" and "The Look In Your Eyes" by Maze are definitive live recordings. But the best of the lot is Dionne Warwick and Isaac Hayes's live version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "Can't Hide Love". Which is basically unbeatable.

Tony Tony I think Rudzie from Leicester used to play this at Leicester "Holy cross " Soul night's I'm sure he said that it was a singer from Bradford or somewhere who sang in clubs in the north but had died of a drug overdose.This has to be the same recording although not sure how authentic the origins of the story is !!! regards Simon.

Many apologies. The greatest live performance of all time is obviously James Brown's "There Was A Time". When I first heard this out circa 1972 (in the Funk clubs and good local nights), it really changed my life. I think I knew the Gene Chandler version first, but that never actually did much for me. When I heard the James Brown original live version it knocked me out. It's a king hell bastard performance. So great call Ricticman! James Brown's "There Was A Time" surely must be the greatest ever live recording played out. Can anything else even get close? Ian D Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
