From Daft Punk and Beyoncé to the Band: 10 of the best ever live albums - The Guardian Posted: 26 Feb 2021 01:32 PM PST Daft Punk Alive 2007 (2007) Stepping into a venue full of sweaty strangers is still a frustratingly distant prospect, so as live music IRL continues to be benched, our only option is to dig into the giddy world of concert albums. Where better to start than with Daft Punk's relentlessly pumping Parisian electronica party, complete with unbridled whoops of glee and synth singalongs from a rightly jazzed home-town crowd. It's now tinged with an added wistfulness following this week's announcement that the pair have split up after 28 years. Johnny Cash Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (1968) There's edgy and then there's playing a song called Cocaine Blues to a room full of hootin' and hollerin' convicts. Some 13 years after he recorded Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash finally rocked up at the song's California namesake, and to possibly the most appreciative crowd of his career. Nina Simone Nina at The Village Gate (1962) You're in a Greenwich Village jazz bar, dressed like a Queen's Gambit extra, sipping on a dirty martini and wondering how far the opening act, a young comic called Richard Pryor, might go. Then Nina Simone's vocals drift out over soul-smacking piano, mixing Nigerian song with US folk ballads and civil rights anthems. It's the sound of a star being anointed. Rockin' bones … Lux Interior of the Cramps. Photograph: Kerstin Rodgers/Redferns The Cramps Smell of Female (1983) Scuzzy rockabilly is best served fresh, and what's fresher than two nights with the Cramps at Manhattan's Peppermint Lounge? The pioneers of glam garage dive headfirst into 30 minutes of squealing punk. You're never sure if the crowd are screaming because they're thrilled or terrified. Nirvana Unplugged in New York (1994) Nirvana's acoustic set on MTV's flagship franchise deconstructed their caustic sound to reveal a new side – albeit one that cast Kurt Cobain as far from comfortable with his rock star status. Come for the haunting Bowie and Lead Belly covers, stay for the devastatingly sparse Polly. Hello, they must be going … LCD Soundsystem at Madison Square Garden in 2011. Photograph: Theo Wargo/Getty LCD Soundsystem The Long Goodbye: LCD Soundsystem Live at Madison Square Garden (2014) Billed as their last ever show – even though they would return five years later – LCD Soundsystem's 2011 Madison Square Garden swansong is an emotional rollercoaster. From furious electro breakdowns to squeeze-your-mates singalongs, you can see why they couldn't stay away for too long. Townes Van Zandt Live at The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas (1977) Kicking off with gruff directions to the loos from a compere, it's an aptly ragged start to these recordings of the Americana great's low-key 1973 appearances at a small Texan speakeasy with a busted air-con unit. If you can name a more fitting location to hear the harrowing Waitin' Around to Die, we'll give you a year's supply of moonshine. Homeward bound … Beyoncé performs live. Photograph: AP Beyoncé Homecoming: The Live Album (2019) Beyoncé's groundbreaking 2018 Coachella headline set is testament not just to the vision of Queen B but her sheer energy. Who else could maintain such an all-singing, all-dancing thrill ride for two full hours? Marching bands, majorettes, a mini Destiny's Child reunion and so much more – we're knackered just listening to it. The Band The Last Waltz (1978) Unlike LCD, the Band's lavish Thanksgiving 1976 revue really was their final gig. Filmed for posterity by Martin Scorsese, the show's accompanying album features Mavis Staples nailing The Weight, Muddy Waters stomping through Mannish Boy and Joni Mitchell crooning a perfect Coyote. Yet somehow Neil Diamond steals the show. Neil Young and Crazy Horse Live Rust (1979) The perfect encapsulation of Neil Young's sonic Jekyll and Hyde-isms, Live Rust begins with acoustic versions of the tracks Sugar Mountain and I Am a Child before he shifts gear, yelling: "Let's play some rock'n'roll!" And doesn't he just, pretty much inventing grunge on the grizzly and feedback-drenched Like a Hurricane.

Mickey Guyton Releases Beautiful Cover of Beyoncé's 'If I Were a Boy' - WHAS11.com Posted: 26 Feb 2021 09:48 AM PST Mickey Guyton is ending her week on a high note! The 37-year-old singer released a special Amazon Original cover of Beyoncé's "If I Were a Boy" on Friday, the same day she received an Academy of Country Music nomination for New Female Artist of the Year. The all-new track is available exclusively on Amazon Music, as part of their slate of Black History Month content highlighting the impact of Black music pioneers who have created radical and innovative work. "It was important for me to record 'If I Were A Boy' because I have been fighting in country music for so long to just be accepted for who I am," Guyton, who originally covered the song back in 2016, shared in a statement. "This song represents the release and the birth of something new. Really this song means so much more to me, and has a completely different meaning, than when I first heard it." So proud to share my version of "If I Were A Boy" on @amazonmusic in collaboration with the amazingly talented artist @VivaIllajams, who created the cover art. I hope that when people see it they don't see me, they see themselves. 🤍 #AmazonOriginalhttps://t.co/ErKHNAFYqN pic.twitter.com/PnYU8sspdB — Mickey Guyton (@MickeyGuyton) February 26, 2021 Guyton teamed up with artist Jamilla Okuba to create the single's original cover art. "I discovered Jamilla through Instagram, and it has been really important for me to support Black Art in whatever capacity that is," she explained. "When this project came together, I knew Jamilla needed to create the artwork, and it's just so beautiful that we're able to do this together." "When people see the cover art for my version of 'If I Were A Boy,' I really hope that people don't see me, but that they see themselves," she added.  Amazon Original In addition to her ACM nod, Guyton's song, "Black Like Me," has also been nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at the upcoming GRAMMYs. The recognition makes Guyton the first Black female solo artist to earn a nomination in a country category. "Honestly still can't believe this happened," Guyton wrote on Instagram back in November, after hearing the news. "I haven't been able to put into words the emotions I feel right now. I have been hitting the pavement for so long just trying to get an opportunity to be heard. And now here I am nominated for a Grammy!" "I feel seen. I feel heard. I am a living testament that you should never give up on yourself. You never know what God has waiting for you around the corner," she continued. "This Grammy nomination is for every Black girl that felt unseen. That felt unheard. That felt unloved. That felt like they weren't enough. That felt unpretty. That felt shoved in a corner and completely unconsidered. This is for them." Hear more in the video below.
