I want an Earth live album But maybe with all these mobile devices around+upload options live albums are a thing of the past

i cannot think of any new ones, no i cannot

carpenter brut came out with a live album recently and it's one of the best releases of the year ulver's album from last year was cut together from a series of live recordings too, though it wasn't really presented as a live album in the traditional sense. converge also released a live album this year!

i think live albums are becoming more of a rarity though, generally speaking. it's probably tough for smaller bands to sell them nowadays. with the advent of cheap mobile recording hardware plus free mass distribution via youtube, it's probably done a lot of damage to that segment from a commercial standpoint

[Abzu]

I think Stormy is spot on.

[Mesarthim]

If they do it's just the audio from a DVD release.

mastodon did one from the hunter tour just a few years ago

meshuggah did one each after the obzen and koloss tours

metallica has done, like, a bunch of them in recent years. not the livemetallica stuff, i mean the three or four proper live albums from the death magnetic tour. i mean who cares about metallica live anymore, but also they have done some so they count

i dont think clutch has done one since live at the googolplex, if not they should since they are jammin good fun live

there are other examples but i cannot recall them at this particular moment in time; they will have to wait for another, superior, moment

Full fathom five
Live in flint
Strange cousins at the prince
Heard it all before

I think some of the rereleases they've done on the weathermaker stuffs have live albums too

[happiness and harmony]

dag yo, have those all been since?

[Methuselah Honeysuckle]

I believe so

Some of those are kind of wonky releases though. Heard it all before and strange cousins at the prince were somehow recorded and released the same night . Live in flint was/is only sold online or at shows to my knowledge. full fathom five was the only proper release of the bunch.

[droidspawn]

who cares. live albums are trash for the most part. with rare exemptions.

[happiness and harmony]

is that so

[Lavabug]

i think most don't give a shit

priest did one a year ago, motorhead did one immediately post lemmy-death.

Now not exactly live, Blood Incantation's debut album was recorded with band playing live in the studio, afaik.

[happiness and harmony]

motorhead has like ten live albums homie

[Lavabug]

i thought the topic was on new live albums

[happiness and harmony]

i mean you make a good point

[Lavabug]

i also make a good line

[happiness and harmony]

it's like an arrow
