Hear It Live!

I was only eight years old when Frampton Comes Alive was released. But I still remember hearing "Baby, I Love Your Way" and the other singles from that album on the radio. And I remember the chill that went through me hearing the crowd roar in the backround.

There is something about live recordings. I was a Rush fan in high school. It was their live albums All the World's a Stage and Exit... Stage Left that cemented my fandom. Even today, if I am considering buying a CD by a new band, I usually go to Youtube to see them perform live first.

At the library we have a lot more live music than people realize. We have both CDs and DVD performances, and the styles range from Manilow to The Clash. Check out the Hear It Live display on the 3rd floor. Or check our catalog to see what Live CDs we carry.

What live CDs and DVDs do you love?
