Hahaha.
In the meantime, she can eat dinner listening to “T For Texas” and “Free Bird” a few more times 
Now you’ve got me wondering if my memory is correct re original album (which I no longer have)!
Looking online Wikipedia says it was released in January 1984, but doesn’t say if single or double, and no track number or listing. It then says re-released on CD in 1996 with 3 bonus tracks, and re-released as the Definitive Edition in 2012 with 7 additional bonus tracks. Discogs only shows 6 tracks and by implication single LP in 1984, however Progarchives shows a double LP with 9 tracks released in 1984! However tge definitive (!) info is probably that from Twelfthnight.info, which whilst it doesn’t discuss the original vinyl release, it does discuss the limited edition, including detail of when the tracks were recorded and when first released, and it only mentions 5 released on the original vinyl album.End of the endless majority is not included, yet was on the original, however the wording on that talks of it being a remixed version so doesn’t preclude a previous mix having been included. So it seems my memory of the original is flawed, likewise Progarchives, though that makes the latter’s track listing inexplicable!
I suppose this thread is talking is asking about “Most Interesting”, not “Best”. Taking that literally and seeing all the Hendrix ones here, I can say this one is certainly very “interesting”. For all the wrong reasons:
Jimi Hendrix Gold Collection
Why interesting? Well it is amazing what someone will release for a start. Clearly not taken from the mixing desk. This live album was, from what I can make out of the sound quality, recorded by someone who passed out drunk with their mic in a urinal in a public loo at the back of the stadium. Or possibly by a fan that hit record after being forcibly ejected from each venue each track was recorded on.
Gold is a pretty good word for the title. It is, after all, the absolute Gold Standard for how bad a live album can possibly be.
I guess my original vinyl was the same, and in my original post memory filled in perhaps from the first CD release in 1990s which apparently had 3 bonutracks. If interested you can buy the definitive edition as download from Bandcamp, and CDs I think from both Bandcamp and Twelfthnight.info.
For me the definitive edition really is definitive, as it captured the band at the pinnacle of their career, and has the entire music of the two nights at the Marquee that were Geoff Mann’s final gigs, and which I experienced in the flesh. I also have Art and illusion, but after that felt the band had changed, for the worse.
10cc Live and let Live Manchester Apollo 16-17th July 1977.
I was there.
Always loved 10cc.
A great evening!
It’s a fantastic album by a fantastic band. I have been playing my copy quite regularly for 48 years. My wife has to be out. I saw them in 77.
Not the biggest Unthanks fan but this is great. Saw them perform the Wyatt/Anhoni songs in Hebden Bridge when they were touring the album and can confirm the album is a true reflection of the gig I saw. Wonderful songs beautifully performed..
Maximum Darkness, by Man
I was at this concert at the Roundhouse, in my misspent youth back in 1975.
Good honest rock, by a now forgotten group.
I know this one is only interesting for me.
Me too. My brother has picked up a number of his albums over the years, and they’ve all seemed to end up with me!
Not forgotten here! I trust you have the 3CD edition of Back Into The Future? With more of the Roundhouse(?) gig!
Never heard the album but I did see them live at least twice, supporting whoever I really wanted to see. The magazines thought they were the Welsh Allman Bros I recall. I’ll give the album a spin before curfew tomorrow. Memories eh! Many are called but few get up.
You are not alone.
Saw Man many times back in the 70s and their albums still find their way to the record deck frequently.
Keep on Crinting.
Not at all - I was at that gig - the only occasion when I was able to hear John Cippolina playing live. I saw Man another time too - maybe at the Rainbow.
It was at the Roundhouse. I just have the original vinyl of Back to the Future and although I had seen the 3-CD version I didn’t realise that it had more of the Maximum Darkness gig.
The additional live material on the 3-CD set is from 1973 - the remainder of the Roundhouse concert part released on the original second LP. Maximum Darkness is from the Roundhouse in 1975. This may have been what you meant and I may have misunderstood.
I can never look at that cover photo without thinking of Peter Cook’s turn as a judge in "The Secret Policeman’s Ball’.
