Best guest ever ! Great chemistry , and you guys chat like old buddies

I love when Mike is on! Keep getting him on the show while you can. Once the pandemic is over he's going to be as busy as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest on a greased floor...lol He brings so much. A couple of super cool dudes tonight. Thanks guys...\m/

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live

"If You Want Blood" and "Unleashed in the East" are definitely on my list for this topic.

Blue Öyster Cult: Some Enchanted Evening is one of my favorites.

We need a show with Mike Portnoy and Chris Allo on what makes a great live album.

Cheap trick At Budokan, for me. The original release was a single live album that should’ve been a double live album, but then they put out Budokan II in 1994 with the rest of the set from that show. If you want more, go get the 30th anniversary edition cd and dvd, which has both Budokan performances from 1978

"Slade Alive" is one of the greatest live albums as well.

Here’s one: Dream Theater Live At The Marquee. The fact that there isn’t an official Images and Words tour live album with the FULL set list (which would make it a double album) is a tragedy

Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal is considered one of the greatest live albums of all time. Certainly deserves an expanded release.

Rory Gallagher - Stage Struck Slade - Alive Blue Öyster Cult - Some Enchanted Evening

I can listen to Portnoy talk music all day and night. Love these shots you're doing with him Pete. You know, Charlie Benante is also super-knowledgeable and you should reach out to him and try to get him on as well.

No Sleep till Hammersmith- Motorhead Maiden Japan- Iron Maiden Unleashed in the East- Judas Priest If you Want Blood- AC / DC Some Enchanted Evening -BOC Loved going to see Mean Streak back in the day at all the clubs in the NY Nj area. Great bunch of girls that really rocked out

Spinal Tap - Smell the Glove! Should of been 11 disc set! (Because 11 is more than 2) :)

1. Motörhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith 2. Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East 3. Genesis Live 4. Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (Live Sets should've been expanded)

Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live! How could you miss that? Killer Album!

How many of us wish we could just go hang out in Mike’s music room and just listen to music with him for just a little bit and talk shop. There is so much stuff in there. 🤘😎🤘

I think Martin Popoff might have met his match for best guest! Mike seriously knows his stuff, great to listen to all of his stories. Keep them coming!

Pat Benatar - Live From Earth Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live Dio - Intermission Saga - In Transit Helloween - Live in the UK Starz - Live Action Three Dog Night - Captured Live Blue Oyster Cult - Some Enchanted Evening - (Now deluxe edition) Cheap Trick - At Budokan - (Full Concert Available) Emerson, Lake & Palmer - In Concert (Works Live presents full concert)

A little gem I have always liked was Lou Reed’s Rock And Roll Animal. Well done and produced. The only Reed I really like.

Rolling Stones “Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out” Cream ‘Live Cream’ Jimi Hendrix ‘ Band of Gypsys” Deep Purple “Made in Europe”

Another great show with Mike who has such a great personality that really comes across as genuine and sincere, with his knowledge and love of these great albums. The show really lets us (the viewer) become a third party in something that most of us would not otherwise experience. It’s so much fun. Thanks Mike and Pete✌️👍

Before watching this video, I will chime in with the greatest live album crime of all - The Who releasing only a single disc of Live at Leeds..!! I was blown away decades later when the entire show was released.. I am sure one of our hosts will list this one!

Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East. The full concert is available on bootlegs, whereas the vinyl and CD were heavily edited (songs omitted or heavily cut).

Bongo Fury - Zappa & Beefheart 1975 U.S.A - R.I.P. - King Crimson 1975 Blackfoot - Live in U.K. 1982 Live at Last - (unofficial) Black Sabbath 1973 ( released 1980). Live at the Fillmore - The Mother's 1970 All Classics for many different reasons. Great discussion guys! Btw - Motorhead were HUGE in the U.K. 1980-81, and headlined over Ozzy at Port Vale Football Club in 1981 after that US your supporting Ozzy. Some choiv

Mountain Live "The Road Goes Ever On" plus those two Crimson albums mentioned at the end: "Earthbound" & "USA" Oh, and "The Mothers - Fillmore East June 1971"

I've had a high quality bootleg version of Maiden Japan from Nagoya, Japan - May 23, 1981 with Di'Anno on vocals for years. It has 17 tracks (every song from the first 2 Maiden albums) and should have been officially released, as opposed to the short EP that came out in its place.

Don't forget Mott The Hoople Live - only a single. Love your interaction with Mike!

MP in da house. Gotta go for Live at Leeds. And Genesis Live. Sabbath live at last. Crimson 74, unleashed in the East, Maiden Japan, Greg Lake with Gary Moore, get yer ya-yas out, that first dream theater at the marquee

On the subject of Band Of Gypsys, that album was put out to comply with contract agreements stemming from Jimi’s previous contract signings prior to his time with Chas Chandler managing. He owed Capitol an album (even though his regular record label was Reprise) so they put out Band Of Gypsys as a quickie live album with all new material to get past that release requirement. Damn fine album considering the circumstances for its release. Other live album I would put in the should have been a double album is Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Live.

Surprised Pete didn't mention Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush Live 1978.

I would love to see more people acknowledge Canadian band April Wine. I’m from Toronto and April Wine was my first concert. Their live album from 1974, just called April Wine Live, kicks ass with heavy guitars and an amazing drum solo from Jerry Mercer. The songs included are: Mama It’s True; Druthers; Cat’s Claw; I’m On Fire For You Baby; The Band Has Just Begun; Good Fibes; Just Like That; You Could Have Been A Lady. Again, if your not familiar with this band and you wanna crank up the raw energy of guitars, this album kicks ass!

Hey Pete can you please get Mike to say “All the damn time” next time he is on, also maybe get him on as a guest spot on Hudson Valley Squares?

A few albums that come to mind are: Soft Machine - Noisette One of the greatest live albums, Noisette was cut to a single cd disk, leaving out the performance of Facelift, which had segments that were lifted and included for the version on Third. Noisette is a fantastic document of the band at their loudest, featuring the band in quintet form. In its released form, it would likely have been a double album, but with Facelift, it certainly would've been a triple album. 801 - 801 Live The official release was a great show, however, more songs would've been welcome, as they performed a number of other songs as a unit, including additional Eno tunes. More Quiet Sun songs would've filled out a nice double album as well. Guided By Voices - For All Good Kids Again another performance that had songs cherry picked for a single disk release. The full 44 setlist would've created a nice, full, probably triple disk release. This performance was recorded at Maxwell's in Hoboken during the band's first classic period.

J. Geils Band Live Full House.

The Trower, Foghat, and BOC albums immediately came to mind.

Blue Oyster Cult-Some enchanted evening,for sure!

Great to see Mike Portnoy back on the channel 🤘 My Pick : Slade - Slade Alive

Without watching I am guessing Unleashed in the East by Judas Priest and If You Want Blood You've Got It will be at the top of the list.

so much to say...great video...i'm older than you two and i wish i could remember my tickets from back in the day...played alot of clubs back then...saw the stones at the garden, zeppelin at the garden, jethro tull, new york dolls, velvet underground, saw both of your t-shirt bands, pink floyd and triumph, gentle giant, rush, mott the hoople, queen, so many more...do you guys remember a club called february's....loved that place...also hammerheads....one of my favorite live albums was a single album...free 'live'....and by the way...priest came out with 'unleashed in the east' as a single vinyl album in america, but as a double vinyl import called 'priest in the east at the same time'...whitesnake did the same thing with 'live in the heart of the city'...i got both the double vinyl albums back then at bleecker bob's....import albums seemed to often be doubles where the u.s. just put out single versions....but as long as it's good...be well guys...peace always...rocky

First album that comes to my mind is Some Enchanted Evening. I love it but I wish there were more Spectres Songs on it.

When i bought unleashed in the east on the day of release the album came with a clear vinyl 7 single with extra tracks..!!

Great show! No Sleep Til Hammersmith was recorded mainly at Newcastle City Hall with a couple of tracks from Leeds.

The 4 that come to mind: Traffic: Welcome to the Canteen The Who: Live at Leeds Procol Harum: Live With the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra James Gang: Live in Concert

I grew up in a town 30 minutes south of Buffalo, and I'm super stoked to see Talas make this list! I saw them open up for Iron Maiden in Buffalo on the Powerslave tour (I was too young to go to clubs and bars then).

The first album that instantly popped into my head was Pat Travers Band -Go For What You Know. I don't believe there is an expanded version either.

There was a UK of "unleashed.." version with an EP with "beyond the realms.." which is THE version.

Welcome back, Mike!

Anyone remember MC5's, Kick Out The Jams live album. So much energy from the late 60's!

The Who - Live at Leeds Saxon - The Eagle has landed Motörhead - No Sleep till Hammersmith Genesis - Genesis Live (with Supper's ready) and my top pick: Dream Theatre - Live at the marquee The whole band was on fire on this one. Glass Moon, Ytsejam, Take the time, Learning to live are missing

I saw UFO play that Strangers set in 78, in the UK in front of about 300 people in a rock club.

Mike Portnoy is awesome!

My #1 pick is Foghat Live, 6 songs is just too short. They were on fire then, would love if this got expanded one day.

Just a note. Heaven and Hell was recorded. It was the b-side of Summertime Blues. It was also on their Rarities/Missing albums. But Live at Leeds is my number one pick. How long did we go before we (legally) got the full Tommy concert?

What can you say here? Portnoy and Pete talking music and showcasing albums. This is why I do not have Cable TV anymore. This is the new way to watch. Has been for a while now. The internet and new internet coming in the future is the way in my opinion. I love coming home after a hard days work and watching these types of things. Really Great stuff guys!

Great conversation - thanks, guys. Lots of fantastic picks here. I'd add Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live.

My favorite single live album is *Slade on Stage*. I saw them on that tour and it was one of the best live shows I ever saw. They really brought the house down!

NASSAU COLISEUM, KISS JUDAS PRIEST.... 79. I WAS THERE TOO. FIRST CONCERT.

SAXON "The Eagle Has Landed" 1982. Probably the greatest drinking album ever recorded, and one of the fastest.

"Energy is contagious Enthusiasm spreads"...both Pete and Mike have some Chemistry going and having Mike on the program is not only amazing but highly energetic. Keep it going guys.good show. 👍

I see Mike Portnoy and I click, keep these videos coming boys.

Foghat Live

Horslips - The Belfast Gigs. They did a double live album earlier in their career that was poorly recorded. This one was released after their last studio album and they had enough material from 7-8 studio albums to stretch it into two.

I am 51. My point is that a lot of the shows these guys went to. I was a little young to go see. Those few years younger made me miss a lot of shows

Could listen to you two all night. What a nice guy Mike is. Thank you both.

ELP: Pictures at an exhibition King Crimson: USA Zappa: Live at the Filmore Pink Floyd's 4th side of Ummagumma Tull's 4th side of Living in the Past Mahavishnu: Between Nothingness and Eternity

Foghat Live.

Joe Walsh - You Can't Argue With A Sick Mind The Who Live At Leeds Mahogany Rush Live Mott The Hoople Live King Crimson - USA Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Concert AC/DC - If You Want Blood, You Got It

Glad to see Pete mention Elton’s 11-17-70. Another 70’s single live album from Elton John was Here and There. This had the best version of Funeral for a Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding. It was later expanded to a double length album, with a guest appearance by John Lennon. Another single live album that was later expanded to a double length album was Whitesnake’s Live...In the Heart of the City.

The Guess Who, my hometown band, Live at the Paramount. Fantastic album, a single. Going by memory, ’73, or around there. No, ’72, I looked it up. “Running Back to Saskatoon” was a big hit on the radio. I heard that all the time on radio back then. I was a teen and bought the album, my first Guess Who.

Motörhead- No sleep till Hammersmith. Saxon- The eagle has landed. Judas Priest- Unleashed in the east. Lou Reed- Rock and roll animal. AC/DC- If you want blood. The Who- Live at Leeds.

Great once again. Thx to you two, Pete & Mike ! But I would like to add Blackfoot's "HIghway Song - live" from 1982 (recorded at Hammersmith, I guess). The band at their absolute peak, fantastic vocals by Rick Medlocke, brilliant twin guitars (Medlocke and Charlie Hargrett), and superb drumming by Jakson 'Thunderfoot' Spires (R.I.P.). And with the quintessential version of "Highway Song" on it. An absolute gem of a live album IMHO. Should have been a double as well.

Exit stage left definitely should be an extended double live album

I thought it was pretty cool when Mike mentioned the Penny Arcade in Rochester NY. It was basically our version of the Chance. I saw Talas there many times. Along with many other big names.

My friend was drunk, past out during the opening song and woke up during the encore...Motorhead were great.🤣🤣

U.K "Night After Night"... Excellent pick, Mike! Thanks for sneaking that one in.

Pat Travers - Go for what you know

Johnny Cash- Live at Folsom Prison or Live at San Quentin.

Haven't watched yet. AC/DC If you want blood comes to mind immediately. Edit: watching now, love Mike's Animals t-shirt.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Live, Focus- Live At The Rainbow...

A single live album I was surprised didn't come up: Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Live 😳

1- Deep Purple- Made in Europe 2- Slade- Slade Alive 3- Mott the Hoople- Live on Broadway 4- Sensational AlexHarvey Band- Live 5- Foghat- Live 6- Pat Travers- LiveGo for what you know 7- The Who- Live at Leeds 8- Mahogany Rush- Live 9- Rolling Stones- Get your Ya Ya’s out 10- Robin Trower- Robin Trower Live 11- Lou Reed- Rock N Roll Animal 12- Free- Free Live 13- King Crimson- U.S.A. 14- Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group- Live 15- Ten Years After- Undead

30:50 it's like they're both forgetting Mike is in a band with Billy. Lol

Easy one for me, not seen this video yet but the first Mahogany Rush live album. Loved that record.

Both episodes with Mike have been superb. Great choices so I've chosen a few others. Would love to have a chat about great live bands/artists that never released a live album. 1. BB King Live at the Regal (all his single live albums were great but this is the best) 2. James Brown - Live at the Appolo 3. Muddy Waters - Live at Newport 4.. Zappa/Mothers - Fillmore East 5. Randy Newman - Live

Pink Floyd's "Ummagumma" could qualify as a single since the 2nd record is a studio recording. Also ZZ Top's "Fandango", is half a single live lp, the other half studio.

SRV and Double Trouble - In the Beginning ... I like the raw nature of that record, seems like Stevie could've easily played for at least another half-hour playing a few more songs off the first album plus more blues covers.

Real to Reel Marillion. Only two studio albums at the time but still plenty of stuff for a great live double album Highway Song Live Blackfoot If you want Blood No Sleep til Hammersmith. Always remember roadie Eagle introducing We Are the Road Crew. Got to work with him when I spent a day as a Motorhead Roadie Genesis Live Steve Miller live Live at Budokan Cheap Trick Monsters of Rock 1980 a live album of the first Donington MOR festival. Only two songs from headliners Rainbow and no Priest

Did anyone have the Johnny Winter double album on vinyl where side 4 was totally blank but it had the traditional track marks as if there were 4 tracks but each one was silent. It was called Second Winter. On the Priest live album...in the UK when it was released in 79 there was a free EP with the first so many thousand copies with the live versions of Rock Forever, Starbreaker and Beyond The Realms Of Death

My list would be 1. Unleashed In The East-Judas Priest 2. Live-Robin Trower 3. Band Of Gypsys-Jimi Hendrix 4. Some Enchanted Evening-Blue Oyster Cult 5. If You Want Blood-AC/DC 6. Live-Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush 7. Live-Foghat 8. And Live-Johnny Winter 9. Starstruck-Rory Gallagher 10. No Sleep Till Hammersmith-Motorhead

Ha! Procol Harum with the lead off. This just warms my old heart. I can't even consider myself a big fan of that band, yet that album just does something for me even after all these decades.

Yes Pete I was at the show Motorhead did with Ozzy at the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ and How could you ask for more what a killer show Randy was still with us God rest his soul and after their set instead of" relaxing " Lemmy watched today's entire set from the balcony on the side of the stage just goes to show respect and the friendship they developed for each other!!! Will never forget that show !!! Great job love your channel and I saw single live albums and "fixing " a performance cheats the fans I want to hear the music as it happened!!! Rock on brother!!!👍👍👍

Rory Gallagher Irish Tour '74' or Live In Europe could easily have been great double albums - although I am so used to them now I tend to think they are perfect the way they are :)

Cool episode. It would be cool getting Mike involved in the perfect albums series.

I remember at our record store in FL there was a cutout record bin..Cutouts were either promotional copies,or albums that were deemed nonreturnable ..Anyone remember that they released so many of the Kiss solo albums , anticipating huge sales ,but they all bombed.. (With exception of Ace's album)..You could get Gene,Paul,and Peter albums on cutout for .99 cents at KMart ..
