LIVE ALBUM SHOWDOWN- 1970's (Part 1)

Plan to go year by year through the decade of the 70's and pit album vs album. Most are not close to being metal by any stretch of the imagination. Yet (IMHDO) fit comfortably under that "hard rock" umbrella. Most have had the "deluxe CD treatment" with bonus material over the years.  The premise of the topic is how they were originally released back in the day. The track listings are sourced from the vinyl releases of each album.

Hendrix was way better than The Who.

Machine Gun is stunning, One of the greatest solos ever.

My Generation/Tommy medley was also a great performance.

Both songs were probably played 110 decibels. Marshall and Hiwatt stacks at full volume. The good old days, lol

Being a HUGE Hendrix fan, I chose Hendrix! That live album is amazing!!
