Just out - for those who did not catch the leak - is Mogwai's first official live album Burning (they've allowed fans to plug midi-recorders in to the sound booth for a while, plenty on the Internet Archive, but this is the first official - and so properly mixed - live album). It's not as incendiary as their actual live shows, but it does seem to be a fu ...[text shortened]... One of my favourite bands of all time, and as reasonable an introduction as any, I suppose.
I recall Killing Joke subjecting the lugholes to assault and battery at the same venue too. And U2 back when they only had one album. Maybe it was just a loud venue.
I don't quite know what Mogwai's Burning album is. I have the live "Special Moves" released this year. Is that it - with a different title (for a different country) perhaps?

Originally posted by FMFAye, apologies - Burning is the live DVD (with a different track listing) and Special Moves the live album... They're also in the studio preparing anew album.

Triggered by some comments on the Led Zep thread, here is an opportunity to list your favourite "live albums" - not including bootlegs or stealth concert recordings.

'Live at the Burton Cummings Theatre', by The Weakerthans.
'Show' by The Cure.
'Live at Royal Albert Hall' by Bob Dylan.

Originally posted by bbarrI agree about these two although if John McLaughlin is being mentioned then so should 'Between Nothingness and Eternity' (with Mahavishnu Orchestra) and the two mid-90s trio albums both with organist Joey DeFrancesco but with different drummers, 'Tokyo Live' and 'After The Rain'.
