Reviewing a live album is very different from reviewing a studio album.

Yup, I consider Ummagumma to be a live album with a bonus studio LP attached.

My plan (though not set in stone) is, upon reaching the end of any given band's discography, to provide a brief review of one select live album. Ummagumma will probably represent Pink Floyd, although Pulse is also possible.

The live album I choose might not necessarily be the band's best live album. For example, if I ever review Rush I might well review A Show of Hands rather than the more acclaimed Exit: Stage Left, precisely because the latter gets so much more attention already.

Hope this helps.

        There's no pretension that this is serious musical critique though. Her reviews are "adequate" - Trung 3/7/2012, 2:21 am
