Some bands sound fantastic on live recordings.
I wouldn't be surprised if Blind Guardian - Live didn't have any 'fixes' on it. I've seen BG live three times now, and they are a very tight, great-sounding live band. Kansas - Two For The Show Ok, not metal, but a great live album none the less, and in the 30th anniversary album liner notes Kerry Livgren states "…is that it was pure and untouched with no re-recorded parts. What you hear is what happened at that show." drummer Phil Ehart says "I can guarantee you that this new batch of remixed live stuff has no overdubs, pitch correction, or anything to enhance the performance. It's truly as it went down that night, warts and all." Also I'm pretty sure that Rush's All The World's A Stage live album only had one overdub. Alex Lifeson broke his e-string during the Working Man guitar solo, so they re-recorded just the solo. The rest of the album is untouched, from what I've heard/read. |
