The best live Blues album I've ever heard and one of the best life any-kind-of albums I've ever heard.
James had the audience in the palm of his hand. Listen to him tease them with song titles woven into sentences or short lines only go into another song so that later when he dies those same songs the crowd goes wild. Listening this one over and over again, not just for the music (which is great) but for the way James controls the audience is school for musicians.
Live At The Apollo 1962 - James Brown & The Famous Flames
Lachto Drom (Safe Journey) - various artists
Very different and entertaining "Gypsy" music from India to Spain
I especially like the Romanian (Taraf de Haidouks) and French segments
I like this thread, it exposes me to music I didn't know existed, some of which I enjoyed immensely.
Some more variety. Putumayo puts out some unusual stuff, always well produced. Here is one of my favorites.
An Afro-Portuguese Oddyssey - various artists
Not to forget some good guitar. This show convinced me that Jeff Beck is the most technically accomplished rock guitarist alive. The camera operators and editors must be guitarists, because whenever Jeff does something super-human, they zero in on the hands. And Tal Wilkenfeld is too cute and young looking to be the monster bass player that she is.
