Were You Impressed?

A hopefully non-controversial thread. One that hopefully will get a pile of response.

When typing up a reply earlier, I made comment on concerts and
festivals that I'd been to over the years. It made me think of the artists and bands that their live performance put me off them and the ones where their live performance drew me to them.

I could list quite a few but here are just a couple.

1. Meatloaf. I had all his albums and playing Bat Out Of Hell to death until I saw him live. Pretty grim. Nothing like how is studio albums portrayed. One performance to forget. Well he did have a pot on a broken leg at the time.

2. Todd Rundgren. I knew of him but knew little of him. He came on as the act before Led Zep once. He was only on for a hour.
I was mesmerised by how good this guy was. Brilliant performer.
Later I bought his albums.

3. My third one is not a for or against, it is more of a comment. I
have seen Barclay James Harvest some 5 times. Their studio albums can be a bit dreary. Actually not that good at all. But by crikey - what a live band.

Well there you go.
