I really didn't need the whole Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack album but it was necessary to hear the greatest live set there is... Let's examine the evidence of that Live Aid gig:
You start with the first two and a half minutes of one of the greatest songs ever (Bohemian Rhapsody) and then just as you reach the operatic section you segue into the fairlight keyboards of Radio Ga Ga and indulge in the most momentous synchronised hand clapping of all time
Then you get a bit of a singalong with Freddie before Hammer to Fall rocks out
(The album misses out Crazy Little Thing Called Love and the short burst of We Will Rock You for some reason....)
Finally you top off the set with the ultimate triumphant closing number -We Are Champions
That is how you do a gig and that is why Queen were and are the greatest band ever

You should never really drunkenly order vinyl just because it looks cool but sometimes you get lucky.
I had never heard of Author & Punisher but the new album was on blue and silver limited edition splatter vinyl and on Relapse Records so it had to be alright...
This guy builds his own drone machines to create music and it's a cross between the Downward Spiral and Demanufacture by Fear Factory.

This may just be one of the great pieces of art masquerading as music.....
In Death It Ends have released a 'live' album from Pendleshire Polytechnic in 1979 - As the band didn't exist then , have never played lived and I'm fairly sure the Polytechnic is not real this is fascinating idea.
The whole album is one continuous track, sort of like a bootleg, the first 4 minutes are the sound of a band tuning up, then the crowd cheers as the band walk on and away we go.
The setlist is a sort of greatest hits (assuming the band had hits) and are slightly different arrangements to the studio versions
There are between track introductions and background crowd noises in the quiet parts but all of it is fake... The CD comes with ticket stub, flyer and poster to complete the package.
The whole concept is utterly brilliant and as such is actually one of the great albums of all time
