Well I'm currently in the process of listening to the Beta Band's The Three EP's for the first time and had a listen to disc 1 of 2 of The Doors' In Concert earlier:
The Doors - In Concert
I'm really impressed with this. Some critics tag The Doors as being just another pub band, but there does seem to be something more to them than that. On this live recording Jim Morrison is sounding great, having a good laugh with the crowd (well, thats my call on it - if that is the case he's doing it very dryly as he shouts "Shut up!!! This is no way to behave at a rock concert!" (or words to that affect)). Musically it sounds superb. Where as some live albums tend to make you long for the studio version, the versions of the songs on this album seem to be superior. It is also the first time that a band I like have used medleys and got away with it.
The Beta Band - The Three EPs
After buying and disliking the Hot Shots II album by the Beta Band, I've been put off this now for some time. However, this seems like the perfect album for a Sunday evening, with some nice mellow bass lines and sparse and soothing vocals. Good background music. With that in mind I think it'll also work well whilst I'm in work.
