STOCKI'S FAV LIVE RECORDS OF 2020
27/12/2020
5. WAR ON DRUGS - LIVE DRUGS
Lush layered near perfectionist beauty live... on purple vinyl
4. ELBOW - LIVE AT THE RITZ; An Acoustic Performance
I am often times prefer Guy Garvey's songs and voice to Elbow arrangements so hearing these in an intimate setting in acoustic version is an utter treat.
3. MUMFORD & SONS - DELTA TOUR LIVE EP
A short 6 song document of Mumford's Delta Tour has a sensational side 2 where the band do Hurt, starting out as Mumfords-Do-Cash and end on a Mumfords-Do-Nine Inch Nails. It is awesome. There is then. meditative Awake My Soul with Milk Carton Kids before a bog vocal version of With A Little Help From My Friends. That live vibe that they built their career upon early on is perfectly captured.
2. SUZANNE VEGA - AN EVENING OF NEW YORK STORIES AND SONGS
This utter delight of a shimmy around the houses, streets and playgrounds of New York City in Vega's art had me fall in love with her work all over again.
1. NICK CAVE - IDIOT PRAYER (NICE CAVE ALONE AT ALEXANDRA PALACE)
A silver lining of Coronavirus lockdown has to be Nick Cave in the Alexandra Palace with just a grand piano and some of his best songs. Utterly beautiful and for the time.
