Thinking of a Place remains, to me, an awesome song.

the best filmed version of An Ocean In Between The Waves is from Pukkelpop '18, some guy says in the comments here (I haven't seen all of them but I agree that this is possibly even better than on the live album) & starts at 8:25 here (first two songs are Nothing To Find (intro missing) and Pain)

Having acoustic guitar on the rocking/upbeat numbers live as above is really smart, adding that strumming texture to it as you would on record

I was fully prepared to sneer at this because of some misplaced idea that it'd be overdubbed and polished so much as to basically be a studio album. Well, another bullshit opinion destroyed: Eyes to the Wind just completely took me out at the knees.

two weeks pass...

Even though it's mighty fine and impressive I still miss so many songs they could have selected for the live album. (Holding On, Nothing To Find, In Chains, Burning, etc etc) There's a couple of great sounding full shows out there that do contain them (Northside and Sziget for instance), I wonder if keeping this limited to 1 CD and his referring to Bruce's 1975-1985 is a subtle hint to bootleggers, to please release an alternate version?

also a deeper understanding is my fav of their albums, this thread is insane

I think I butt dialed that last post from Zing, sorry.

DJI, Sunday, 13 December 2020 16:44 (three years ago) link

that's exactly the post a butt would dial too

Butt dialling, pianississimo.

they might be a band which, jeez you'd maybe have to go back to the 70s? whose best album is a live album

a little premature to say that obv but I really really like the live album so far

Oh I guess Phish maybe? you'd have to ask a fan, I don't know that much about them

the 4 part podcast about 2020 + the live album (4 x 25 minutes, approx) is pretty interesting & enjoyable: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-super-high-quality-podcast/id1538505374
