Yup. And what about the Queen live album. A "live" recording of some songs that featured a heavy dose of previously recorded material in order to properly flesh out a song.

Queen almost always did that live to get those six and seven harmony vocal parts.

One of the best live albums I've ever heard is "The Association: Live" -- a double album recorded in one night, no overdubs, no studio sweetening. Seven players, seven singers. Harmonies just like the studio versions. I saw them live at my college in 1968, playing a fieldhouse with six Shure PA columns. Saw them in a small club in Virginia Beach, VA, in the early '70s and they still sounded great.

Yes, bands often go back in and sweeten. In the liner notes for "Plays Live," Peter Gabriel explains that this has been done. "This is called, 'cheating,'" he writes.

It was dark when it was first released. I saw the theatrical version and it was dark, but a very cool film. The theatrical release had the entire album.

The theatrical version is the one we need!

Yes Kris, I never got to give my ticket over either (don't know what happened to it though). It was a crushing experience indeed.
