Everybody knows jam bands for their live albums, but non jambands release great live albums too. I have always been a fan of live albums in general.
Here are a few off the top of my head that I really enjoy. There are always more that I discover and I will come back here and update this periodically.
What are your favorite live albums? Do you dig any of these?
Modest Mouse – Baron Von Bullshit Rides Again (2004)
Nirvana – MTV Unpluggged in New York (1994)

MJ Lenderman – And The Wind (Live and Loose!) (2023)
Goose side project Orebelo just released “Rockdale” and announced their debut album out June 7th
I like this, the acoustic vibe is chill. I’m not really as into Goose as I once was after seeing their set at Peach last summer. I’m not opposed to getting back into them but for some reason they just don’t seem genuine to me anymore. It feels a little bit manufactured
Orebolo is an acoustic side project by Rick Mitarotonda, Jeff Arevalo, Peter Anspach of Goose. They just announced their debut album, The Chateau, due out June 7th. The first single is “Rockdale” which is a song that Goose plays all the time. Actually one of my favorite Goose songs even though the one they played at Peach didn’t really do it for me last summer. This is a good song and it’s cool that they’re putting an album out.

Yeah, I’m fully in it but thinking I’ll be getting out of it soon since I’ve been rooting around their studio & live catalog since October. Dave fucks, I really like his songwriting and slow songs
The Alley Charleston will close its doors on June 1st, 2024. I’ve had some great memories there over the years, and I’m sad to see it go. A longtime staple of downtown Charleston.
“It is with a heavy heart that today we announce The Alley’s last day of operations will be June 1st. With the property owners’ upcoming and imminent hotel development, the time has unfortunately come to close our doors permanently.

I was there, the show was sick. Les Claypool is on another level on the bass. And the songs are just so weird! Love love primus, even though they suck.
