OT: 70s Music Thread
Piggybacking ThadMattasgoblin's 60's music post here because I wanted to talk music but I don't in general give a flip about the 60s music-wise. Embed live versions of your choices if you can. Check the first post for my contributions.
...And I don't have a real answer because it will change.
You must always remember, don't eat the yellow snow and I am the slime oozin' out from your tv set.
wins (between that album and Apostrophe') but it's really, really close. Ya gotta love the lyrics to the song "Dinah-Moe Humm" for the sheer obscenity (especially considering it was the early 70's) of it all.
And that was nothing compared to Joe's Garage, Act 1/ Joe's Garage, Acts 2&3. "You'll love it, it's a way of life...."
And yet, Zappa the guitar god included masterpieces like this:
...whether the lyrics otherwise were obscene or not.
The Royal Albert Hall yesterday banned a concert which was to have been given last night by the underground pop group, Mothers of Invention, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The Hall's letting manager, Miss Marian Herrod said it was obscene.

Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath!!!!
the who, marshall tucker band, and willie nelson. how's that for a way-back machine?
EDIT: just remembered: boston and j. giles
Green Grass and High Tides has one the best dual electirc guitar riffs ever! Most of the band members have passed away! They got the name of the song from the the Rolling Stone Songs High Tides and Green Grass
Ten Years After
The Guess Who
Any band Eric Clapton was in then, or now for that matter.
J. Geiles Band.
Of to youtube,
I like the non-live version of this song better than live, it's a bit more laid-back, but the OP said live, so I'll be obliging.
Upvoted for following directions.
It's funny that you say that because I specifically asked for live versions because I like the fact that they run a little hotter than studio recordings.
And in most cases that's a good thing. Here, maybe not, I just really like the very chill vibe of the studio version, but Billy Preston is killing it anyway and the whole band is as '70s as '70s can be, so hey.
I could do worse than by picking "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. But then I flash on Jackson Browne's "Load out" and "Stay with me" with David Lindley on the slide guitar. However, being from Ann Arbor, I have to go with almost anything by Bob Seger.
by David Bowie (1972, I think) is a guilty pleasure that must be included in any list of the best albums of the 70's.
My all-time favorite band, playing one of their very best songs:
Who, Pink Floyd and Stones picks here.
But lets not forget about the mighty Black Sabbath!
What a great decade of music the 70's were!
So many great bands in the 70s, these guys were among the best of em all.
This was a great decade! I liked all the Rock and Pop music during this era. So many different varieties. So many great Rock bands like Zep, Floyd, and my favorite Canadian rock band Rush. You had great Pop rock bands like the Eagles, Heart, southern Rock, Skinner and even a lot of folk singers. Motown was still going strong and some disco songs were not that bad. The Little River Band had some great songs!
*Skynyrd.

I already know how to program a computer to play beats and beeps back at me, so no thanks.
Featuring the best guitar solo ever put down on vinyl. Put on your headphones and turn it all the way up - your ears will bleed:
Not smart enough to embed in my own post, but I salute the Police and Marvin Gaye.
Grateful Dead-"Friend of the Devil." American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, the Dead's two best studio albums came out in 1970. Lots of Great Dead Shows from the seventies, including 12-8-73, possibly the only good thing to ever come out of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Marvin Gaye "What's Going On?" also a great album.
Isaac Hayes "Theme from Shaft" Great Soundtrack overall.
P-Funk "We Want the Funk." I greatly regret that I was too young to go to the Silverdome when the Mothership touched down in 1978.
The Sex Pistols kind of suck, but paved the way for lots of great late punk/New wave stuff in the late 1970s.
The Police "Can't Stand Losing You."
Elvis Costello "Alison"
