Artists that were probably ten times more amazing live than on record. I saw EVH in 1984 and so he’s not on my list, but he’s maybe may favorite show ever.

And yes. Hendrix’s New Year’s Eve album with band of Gypsies. Machine Gun. To me, I think the best example you can give anyone of Hendrix is that song, that album. Jimi went right into a whole other level with that. Just an amazing work, vocally and instrumentally. Full of emotion

I saw Van Halen right after “Fair Warning”. I think ‘81? Madison square garden. I wasn’t a huge fan, still am not, but to my dying day I will say it was the best show I’ve seen. That band worked hard onstage, and were super polished. Crystal clear sound, just an all around excellent show
