2025 in 2025: Day 116

Live in Tokyo, Japan (Nakano Sunplaza, February 19, 1992) - Nirvana
This was the only live show from the 20th Anniversary release of Nevermind that I kept. Because no one needs that many Nirvana concerts in their collection. Hell, I am not sure I even need one Nirvana concert in my collection.
Highlights: Lots of feedback
5/10

Live In Utrecht: June 20, 1987 - Prince
As expected, this is a very solid performance. And the band are certainly funk enough. However, it must be said that there is genuinely something lacking without The Revolution. 1999 sounds like a bit of a mess. And, strangely, most songs NOT from the Sign O' The Times album are rather truncated. Shelia E. is da bomb.
Highlights: Sign O' The Times, Girls & Boys, Four, Purple Rain
7.5/10

Live Jewels - Queen
A collection of random live songs, mostly from the reissue bonus discs. Well, they are all from the various reissues, just not full concerts or anything. Pretty sure if I look hard enough I could find them, but it is much nicer to just have the official releases that actually sound good. And makes for a fun mix.
Highlights: Is This the World We Created...? (Live in Rio January 1985), We Will Rock You [Fast] (Live in Tokorozawa November 1982), Action This Day (Live in Tokyo November 1982), Calling All Girls (Live in Tokyo November 1982)
7/10

Live May/June 1975 - Elvis Presley
It has been a hot minute since I heard some live Elvis, and this is a pretty fine concert; Elvis' voice is in good form and he clearly has zero cares to give, given he admits to being sick of singing Love Me Tender and even makes fun of his fans for attending the concert. Not sure the kissing 13 year-olds is something that needed to be on record, though.
Highlights: Let Me Be There, Burning Love, If You Love Me (Let Me Know), T-R-O-U-B-L-E
6.5/10

Live on Two Legs - Pearl Jam
Eddie Vedder sounds annoying from the very first line he sings on this album. And Stone Gossard's guitar work is... not great. Matt Cameron may actually be best part of this band, at this stage. Boring.
Highlights: The end guitar solo in Black
5.5/10

Live to Win - Paul Stanley
Taking a break from actual live albums is fine with me! I stand by all my original comments regarding this album. Paul's voice certainly is past its prime, here. But at least this is all relatively short.
Highlights: All About You, Live to Win
6/10

Live Your Life Be Free - Belinda Carlisle
Belinda Carlisle really does have some great pop music - this is very much in the same style as Heaven on Earth. Not a bad thing. The title track is a fantastic song.
Highlights: Live Your Life Be Free, You Came Out of Nowhere, You're Nothing Without Me, Loneliness Game
7/10

Live: 1995-03-24 Mt Smart Supertop - Auckland, New Zealand - Pearl Jam
This was the first concert I ever went to! I remember this all very well... Anyways, this is an audience recording, so the sound is absolutely terrible and barely listenable. I should throw this in Logic and see if I can remaster it or something.
Highlights: I got a cool t-shirt
IMPOSSIBLE TO SCORE

Live: 1995-03-25 Mt Smart Supertop - Auckland, New Zealand - Pearl Jam
And this was the second night. The sound is a bit better on this one and Eddie's voice is actually freakin' great. If only there was a better version available.
Highlights: Remembering that Pearl Jam were cool
IMPOSSIBLE TO SCORE

Live: Entertainment Or Death - Mötley Crüe
This was the last album I listened to (and probably did not complete) when I started my Mötley Crüe marathon some time ago. It very much has a 'Tommy has left the band and we are dead, so here some live tracks for one final cash out!' feel to it. It feels far too long, despite the fact that it clocks in at 97 minutes - which is likely much shorter than an actual Mötley Crüe concert. I think that says a lot. The first disc is actually pretty decent; I think some of this was recorded on the Shout at the Devil tour and they were on fire! But by the time they start using backing tracks and Vince has clearly given up trying, it is just a chore to get through.
Highlights: Looks That Kill, Knock 'em Dead Kid, Too Young to Fall in Love, Smokin' in the Boys Room

2025 in 2025: Day 115

Live EP - Sarah McLachlan
How do I have two live releases from Sarah McLachlan? This one is with a full band. And is from earlier in her career. It is quite good.
Highlights: Home, Lost
6.5/10

Live Era '87-'93 - Guns N' Roses
There is just not enough of the earlier era here to make this album worth spending two and a half hours listening to, for me. Like, it starts off very strong, but then the Use Your Illusion tour stuff is pretty obvious because Axl's singing is terrible and Slash's guitar solos are sloppy. Duff is, however, a total badass throughout. That man rocks. 
Highlights: Nightrain, Mr. Brownstone, Welcome to the Jungle, It's Alright, Rocket Queen
6/10

Live From Nowhere - Ryan Adams
This appears to be just a couple of random live acoustic numbers - namely Shine Through the Dark and Wasted Years. I actually dig what he did with that Iron Maiden song. How do I not have any Iron Maiden in my collection anymore?
7/10

Live From The River of Dreams Tour '93-'94 - Billy Joel
Just some quick highlights from the tour, I guess. Bonus disc in the River of Dreams album. Songs from that album and a couple of covers. In fact, I think I may even have a DVD from this tour? Joel's voice is pretty darn rockin' on this.
Highlights: No Man's Land, The River of Dreams
7/10

Live in Auckland, New Zealand 3/12/80 - Kiss
Album #1000! I have this recording for posterity; so I can say I have at least heard every Kiss concert in Auckland (I have attended every other one, because LOGMAN rules). And actually it is pretty decent; very much atypical of a Kiss concert on this tour. It is not a patch on something like Alive!, but that is because it is a proper live recording and not touched up in the studio. Which is fun. Spoiler alert: when Paul Stanley said they were "definitely coming back next year", he was lying.
Highlights: Shandi, Is That You?, Talk to Me, Calling Doctor Love
7/10

Live In Detroit 30/11/82 - Prince
This has got to be one of the earliest Prince concerts out there, right? And it is super awesome. I absolutely love the way he plays up the ending of How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore? I would ask his estate for more of this sort of thing, but I would be lucky if they could even release another... anything!
Highlights: How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?, 1999, Controversy, Do Me Baby
8/10

Live in Eindhoven 2011 - Heather Nova
This was like a free download for pre-ordering her album or something? I do not recall if I have ever really given it a solid listen, because I would have remembered that is very good. Much better than I expected. Which makes no sense, considering Heather Nova is great. I think maybe I thought this was mostly acoustic, but it is a full band show. And the guitarist does his best David Ayers impersonation. 
Highlights: Heart and Shoulder, Island, All I Need, Beautiful Ride
7/10

Live in Japan - George Harrison
Really, it is George Harrison and Eric Clapton. But it is nice that it was just released under Harrison's name, so I do not have to have 'official' Clapton in my library. It is a pretty solid recording, overall. No nonsense and just straight rock'n roll - pretty much what you would expect. A decent mix of solo and songs from his time in The Beatles. And Clapton is best served as a sideman like this.
Highlights: I Want to Tell You, Isn't It a Pity, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Cheer Down
7/10

Live in Japan - The Runaways
I think I have mentioned this album previously; I thought it was nothing special, but now I love it. Totally rocks hard. And Gettin' Hot is such a totally badass song I do not understand why this is the only version of it out there.
Highlights: Gettin' Hot, Queens of Noise, American Nights, C'mon
7.5/10

Live in New York City - John Lennon
Look, we all know how I feel about Yoko and John Ono Lennon. And even I would be ready to throw this album in the 'who cares?' pile. But seeing as they have finally remixed it and whatnot BUT are pretending Woman is the Nigger of the World does not exist, so this album is the only way to hear it live... well, I guess it become a lot more worthwhile having it in the collection. But the performances on Anthology are better.
Highlights: Well Well Well, Instant Karma!

2025 in 2025: Day 114

Live + 1 - Frehley's Comet
Ace and his band live - not really a lot to say. Except that I would likely rate the Greatest Hits Live album a bit higher. Oh, and the studio track is very good.
Highlights: Words Are Not Enough
7/10

Live Acoustic E.P. - Sarah McLachlan
Sarah McLachlan and a piano performing what sounds like a VERY small group of people. Nothing wrong with any of it, whatsoever.
Highlights: Building a Mystery
6.5/10

Live at Avatar Studios - Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
It is all the between-song banter that I enjoy most. I would trade all the extended Grateful Dead-inspired jam endings for another few minutes of yelling out random stupid things like JIMMY HACKEYSACK and RHODA RO. I like Easy Tiger, so this is an Easy Pleaser for me. And that end solo for I Taught Myself How to Grow Old is amazing.
Highlights: I Taught Myself How to Grow Old, Goodnight Rose, Magnolia Mountain, Everybody Knows
7/10

Live at Glam Slam 1992 - Prince
This was part of the Diamonds and Pearls reissue a couple of years ago. It is a killer performance and Rosie Gaines is a the second star of the show. Prince is number one, of course. Some big long funky jams and high energy new jack swing action.
Highlights: Diamonds and Pearls, Jughead, 1999/Baby I'm a Star/Push, Cream/Well Done/I Want You/In the Socket
8/10

Live at The Apollo, Vol. II - James Brown
Bah gawd this album is just about the cold hard funkiest live album ever recorded. So many jams, I am sure everyone in the band got a couple of solos throughout. And those beats! You can not have hip-hop without sampling some of that.
Highlights: There Was a Time, Bring It Up, Sweet Soul Music, Maybe the Last Time
8.5/10

Live at the BBC - The Beatles
A very fine collection of The Beatles performing their early hits and some rock'n roll classics. It is a great showcase of how talented they were as musicians. And hilarious dudes all round, because the between-song banter is generally hilarious.
Highlights: Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby, Ticket to Ride, Matchbox, Slow Down, Honey Don't
7/10

Live at the BBC, Vol. 2 - Queen
This is a little LOGMAN collection of the extra BBC tracks found on all the reissue bonus discs. I would just get the On Air set, but I am really only missing a few now and I am sure they will be reissued in other ways. 
Highlights: We Will Rock You [Fast Version], Spread Your Wings, See What a Fool I've Been, Flick of the Wrist
8/10

Live at the Brixton Academy - Faith No More
Mike Patton sounds like he has cold or is just a terrible singer. I am guessing the latter. The funny thing is when he actually tries to sing something properly he sounds a million times better! I mean, this is just garbage. Wait - there are two bonus studio tracks? In 30 years this is my first time realising that. Perhaps even teenage LOGMAN could not make it through how bad this album was to hear them?
Highlights: The Cowboy Song
4/10

Live at the Rainbow: 31 March 1974 - Queen
More live Queen? Yes please! Especially this performance; Queen II is one of the greatest albums ever, so getting an actual concert from the tour supporting that album is great. And it is a pretty darn impressive performance - they sound absolutely massive and just nail everything.
Highlights: White Queen (As It Began), Father to Son, Ogre Battle, Son and Daughter
8/10

Live at the Rainbow: November 1974 - Queen
And Queen return some 8 months later to promote their Sheer Heart Attack album. Good for them! It is a little lacking compared to the previous show, but it is still pretty great. And boy this crowd are Jonesing for Liar the whole show. Pretty funny when Freddie just gives up trying to introduce it, because the crowd just will not stop yelling about it.
Highlights: The March of the Black Queen, Stone Cold Crazy, In the Lap of the Gods... Revisited

2025 in 2025: Day 113

Lifeblood - Manic Street Preachers
The Manics go all adult lo-fi rock like they have been listening to Keane and The Cardigans all summer. Luckily they still write good songs, so I am more of the opinion that this album is underrated and underappreciated. Without actually being memorable or anything.
Highlights: 1985, Empty Souls, I Live to Fall Asleep, Always/Never
7/10

Lifelines - a-ha
What is it with today and this adult radio rock and music from the mid-00s? This might well be the most consistent a-ha album I have listened to yet. Does that maybe say something about me?
Highlights: White Canvas, Forever Not Yours, There's a Reason for it
6.5/10

Light Years - Kylie Minogue
This was Kylie's comeback album. Which is crazy. And it was the start of a period where she just known to always be wearing short shorts. I just wanted her to keep making dancey-disco pop - short shorts or not.
Highlights: Spinning Around, Kids
7/10

Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers - Manic Street Preachers
A large collection of b-sides and rarities. Large. Too large. There are some killer tracks hidden in here - and they seem to be more of the modern ones. But I assure you they are buried in a lot of less than special stuff. The second disc is mostly covers, which range from G'n'R classics to punk rock classics to... Wham!
Highlights: 4 Ever Delayed, Judge Yr'self, Just a Kid, Take the Skinheads Bowling
6.5/10

Listen to the Music: The Very Best of the Doobie Brothers - Doobie Brothers
I do not have the full collection, but this sure is a good reminder that I should correct that one day. Such a strange combination of Southern Rock, funk and beautiful harmonies.
Highlights: Listen to the Music, Long Train Runnin'
8/10

Little Fish: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Various Artists
Nope, not really. This is purely Sarah Blasko's cover of Cold Chisel's Flame Trees. It is a rather brilliant interpretation. Sarah Blasko is good like that.
9/10

A Little More Personal (Raw) - Lindsay Lohan
I am unapologetically a fan of LiLo and her singing career, because this album is solid. A bold mix of heartfelt ballads, pop rock, and dare I say darker emo? Honestly, the only misstep on this whole album is the cover of Edge of Seventeen - which hilariously ends with the bass on the wrong note before stopping abrubtly. Possibly cut off? Or they forgot to add that last midi note?
Highlights: Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father), If It's Alright, A Beautiful Life (La Bella Vita), I Live for the Day, Black Hole
8/10

A Little South of Sanity - Aerosmith
Oh, time for us to start all these live albums, huh? Sure... Musically, this album is seriously awesome. The songs are all full of energy. Vocally, Tyler is still pretty great, but his voice just clearly gets tired halfway through. And he struggles with some high notes from the jump. But otherwise, this is a very solid album showing a legendary rock group just past their prime and well before they turned into a group of old ladies.
Highlights: Eat the Rich, Love in an Elevator, Dude (Looks Like a Lady), Walk This Way
7/10

Live - Noel Gallagher
This is some random live version of Don't Go Away, performed by Noel Gallagher on acoustic guitar. It is fine, but not exactly mandatory listening.
7/10

Live - Temple of the Dog
This is a random audience recording of Hunger Strike from a Lollapalooza in 1992. I would like a better recording, because Chris Cornell absolutely shreds those high notes and it is epic.

2025 in 2025: Day 112

The Libertines - The Libertines
I fell in love with Up the Bracket almost instantly, so was very excited once I picked this album up. And it kicks off with one of the best songs by The Libertines. But the rest of the album after that is decidedly average, sans a few highlights here and there. And then they split up due to many MANY insane reasons. Honestly, I am surprised Peter Doherty managed to cobble together an album this coherent. And is still alive. 
Highlights: Can't Stand Me Now, What Became of the Likely Lads, What Katie Did, The Ha Ha Wall
7/10

Lick It Up - Kiss
I do not have the patience to write about this album again. One of my least favourite Kiss albums. The demo of Not For The Innocent on the Creatures of the Night box set is genuinely better than the studio version found here.
Highlights: Lick It Up, Gimme More, A Million to One
6/10

LiE LiE LiE - BiSH
Possibly the second best single from the BiSH is OVER series? Featuring a comically fun song that constantly just says "Fuck you!", and a b-side that is also upbeat and totally rips it up (and rips off Bulls on Parade). Good times!
Highlights: LiE LiE LiE, Why are you alive??
10/10

Lies - Guns 'N Roses
Oh man, the Live Like a Suicide EP part just rips! Rips hard!! Axl's voice on this is killer. And Duff's tone is so badass and punchy as hell. The acoustic side is also very good. Patience is iconic. And not in the way that kids these days use that word.
Highlights: Patience, Mama Kin, Used to Love Her, Nice Boys
8/10

Life After Death - The Notorious B.I.G.
At the risk of losing all of my hip-hop cred, I have never been all that big on Biggie. Just have not actually heard much of him, if I am being totally honest. Maybe one day I should correct that? This song, however, is just the funkiest slice of 90s super fly jams. And Mase is pretty cool.
10/10

Life Is Peachy - KoЯn
16 year-old LOGMAN thought this album was a total mess. Almost 30 years later, and it is still an absolute mess. But, you know what? I actually did not hate listening to this as much as I expected I would, considering how awfully all their other albums have aged. Now, I am not saying this is totally rad or that I will even be keeping it in my library - because I am looking forward to deleting the whole KoЯn section once this is over - but it is mostly listenable. Mostly. K@#0%! is one of the worst attempts for a song of this entire marathon so far. Absolute immature nonsense. Meanwhile, Wicked is just a barrel of fun and I will give all credit to Chino Moreno, because he is cool and his band is cool and KoЯn are definitely not. Hot damn, I did not expect to be saying Life is Peachy is the best KoЯn album, but here we are...
Highlights: Wicked, Chi, Good Go, Ass Itch
6/10

A Life Less Ordinary (Original Soundtrack) - Various Artists
Aah, back when Ewan McGregor could act... This album is almost like a time capsule of electro Britpop from the late 90s. Plus Beck. But he kind of subverts all ideas like that. I always found it interesting that the movie features two different versions of Leave by R.E.M. and then the soundtrack has the depressing minimalist version, while the full 'band' version is on their New Adventures in Hi-Fi album. Most of this is just kind of here...
Highlights: A Life Less Ordinary - Ash, Always on My Mind - Elvis Presley, Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin, Don't Leave - Faithless
7/10

A Life of Saturdays - Dexter Freebish
I know nothing of Dexter Freebish, other than the song Leaving Town. I met a guy in Melbourne who would always jam this song, so we would jam it together. Among other great songs. He was a great guy and I hope he is doing well in life.
10/10

Life on Other Planets - Supergrass
This album is so consistently fun and drivingly upbeat. It is exactly what you want from a Supergrass album in 2002.
Highlights: Grace, Funniest Thing, Can't Get Up, La Song
8/10

Life Won't Wait - Rancid
How is Bloodclot the only Rancid song in my collection? Like, I do not even have Roots Radicals in here? Take back my punk card and send me to the oldie station, I guess...

2025 in 2025: Day 111

Less Than SEX - BiSH
This is a single that only came with the limited blu-ray or something. I only discovered their existence when watching FROM DUSK TiLL DAWN, where they performed their entire discography up to that point. These are awesome songs and ヒーローワナビー one of the coolest songs on the planet.
Highlights: ヒーローワナビー, MOON CHiLDREN
9/10

Let It Be-minus - Sad Dracula
I feel like this almost had potential? Like, it is clearly a dude having a mess around and still has stupid lyrics and silly screaming, but if DRA had put a bit more effort in, I am sure he could have made a really good album out of both Sad Dracula albums. And, quite frankly, I would rather hear him making this nonsense than hear him whining and feeling sorry for himself. The punk version of Dear Candy rips.
Highlights: People Make Mistakes, Steve Miller & Weed, 4th of July, Until Then
6.5/10

Let It Be - The Beatles
This is the most un-Beatles album, for sure. Unsurprising LOGMAN opinion: McCartney's songs on this are the least interesting. Sure, it could all use a bit less Spector-ness, but I will give him props for how he managed to edit some of these things in to actual songs. Maybe it could have been great? I am not sure. There certainly are some fantastic songs on here, it is all just a bit messy.
Highlights: Dig a Pony, Across the Universe, I've Got a Feeling, One After 909
7/10

Let Me Rock You - Peter Criss
To quote Mr. Criss, "Let me remind you...". Bah gawd that opening track is criminally underappreciated. Fun album! 
Highlights: Let It Go, Tears, Bad Boys, Move On Over
7/10

Let Your Dim Light Shine - Soul Asylum
Ooh I had some songs from this in my head the other day, but totally did not realise I actually have this! Joke is on LOGMAN today. These guys clearly went to the Goo Goo Dolls school of alt rock. It always came across as fake corporate grunge to me, but I think they were legit indie until the success of Runaway Train. Or maybe that was their first attempt at doing the radio thing?
Highlights: Misery, Just Like Anyone
7.5/10

Let's Face It - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
I should have this whole album, but instead I only have The Impression That I Get. Ska gets a bad rap, because songs like this are what make the world a better place.
10/10

Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye
That opening is so recognisable and funky and sexy. And that voice is just silky smooth. The only criticism I can muster is that, like What's Going On? before it, the whole album almost sounds like one long song. But it sure is a groove.
Highlights: Let's Get It On, Keep Gettin' It On, You Sure Love to Ball, Please Stay (Once You Go Away)
7/10

Let's Get It On (Deluxe Edition) - Marvin Gaye
Of course I have this. I am not some sort of uncivilised fool! And most of this is fairly necessary; the demos are awesome and then there are most of the tracks from You're The Man. Which could have been a very good album, as well! Marvin Gaye was special.
Highlights: The World is Rated X, I'm Gonna Give You Respect, Try It You'll Like It, We Can Make it Baby
7/10

Let's Get It Started - MC Hammer
Hammer's debut or second album, depending on who you ask. Basically a remix of his indie-released debut album that no one in the world has a copy of. Hammer's vocal delivery is very different; much more of a shout-style, as opposed to his more chilled rapping that would come on later albums. Very dance oriented. Very nice. 
Highlights: Let's Get It Started, Ring 'Em, Cold Go MC Hammer, They Put Me in the Mix
7/10

LETTERS - BiSH
More COVID-era BiSH releases? Oh wait, Less Than SEX was not - I just got exposed to those songs from a COVID-era performance. My bad! This is an EP/Mini Album. Half of it is pretty average, I must admit, while the other half is VERY good. The punk-pop stuff in particular. 
Highlights: スーパーヒーローミュージック, co, ぶち抜け, I'm waiting for my dawn

2025 in 2025: Day 110

The Lead and How to Swing It - Tom Jones
This is such a strange album; Tom Jones doing dance music is pretty normal, because he seems to really enjoy doing dance music (I saw him live a couple of times and I promise you he seemed to be having the time of his life singing songs like Sex Bomb), but at the same time, this is not totally dance but some kind of early-90s hybrid? Very R&B influenced, I feel. And that is actually where this album is at its best. His voice is as awesome as ever. Dude could belt out a tune like no other. And I would argue he probably still could.
Highlights: I Wanna Get Back With You, Lift Me Up, If I Only Knew, I Don't Think So
6.5/10

Lean Into It - Mr. Big
Sadly, this is only Green-Tinted Sixties Mind. Amazing song. Paul Gilbert has become one of my favourite guitarists to follow on social media - both skill-wise and personality - so I really need to check out more Mr. Big.
10/10

The Legend - Johnny Cash
A strange career-spanning compilation; instead of being completely in chronological order, it instead chooses themes for each disc and then going chronological. And completely skips all the "American" recordings. The first disc is just the "hits". As you can well imagine, these songs are all very good and is some of the most important country music. I, personally, enjoy it most when he is doing a bit of storytelling - songs like Folsom Prison Blues and One Piece at a Time. Disc 2 is like the 'singles that were not quite as big as the stuff on the first disc'. And I actually kind of prefer a lot of this; the 50s stuff is much more of the rockabilly variety, which I am a fan of. The third disc is "traditional" American songs or whatever. Everyone wants to sing a song about Frankie and Johnny, huh? This disc just reinforces his 50s work being his best, although it stops being chronological about halfway through. Disc 4 is collaborations. Just a random mix all over the show - mostly with his wife or other members of the Carter family. Not Beyoncé, thankfully. Shiiiz I ain't afraid of you mofos! I need to hear more Highwaymen, honestly. Kris Kristofferson was a real one. Johnny Cash did some pretty decent gospel at times. But this really needed tracks from the "American" recordings. Someone get me a box set of that nonsense, please.
Highlights: Folsom Prison Blues, Daddy Sang Bass, A Boy Named Sue, One Piece at a Time, Cry Cry Cry, Luther Played the Boogie, Dark as a Dungeon, Casey Jones, 
7/10

Lemon Parade - Tonic
I thought for sure this came out in like 98, because I remember having to hear If You Could Only See on the radio all the time around then. But then, it does kind of sound like typical mid-90s radio rock, so the 1996 release does kind of track. Also, I wanted to say mean things about that song, but it is actually better than I remember. These dudes have their moments (but only moments).
Highlights: Soldier's Daughter, Open Up Your Eyes, Casual Affair, If You Could Only See
