However, the fantasy that he was a bad boy just like the people he was playing for earned notar...

David Bowie-David Live (1974)

  Artist: David Bowie Title:  David Live Label: RCA Victor Format: 8-Track Catalog Number: CPL2-0771 Year of Release: 1974 Country and Year of Edition: US 1974 Sell Price: $6.51 Sell Date: 8/14/26 Condition: VG+/VG Discogs Last Sold: 6/16/26   VG+/VG+ $5.77 Low: $2.00 Median: $5.38 Average: $5.10 High: $7.95 Current low price: $4.99 Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 4 Have/Want: 87/83 Where Sold: Canadaigua, NY Time It Took To Sell:  2 years Where and When Bought: Facebook lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A- Sad To See It Go: No It seems that David Live got a bit of the short shift critically and for the life of me, I can't understand why.  The arrangement are different enough to be worth hearing.  The band sounds great.  The song selection is peak Bowie on the Diamond Dogs tour featuring a half dozen tracks from there, 4 from Aladdin Sane, a few from Ziggy, old hit "Changes" from Hunky Dory and "The Width of A Circle" from The Man Who Sold The Wo...

Thin Lizzy-'Live and Dangerous' (1978)

This meant the cruci...

Lynyrd Skynyrd-One More From The Road (1976)

Nirvana-MTV Unplugged In New York (1994)
