BIG STAR - Live at Lafayette's Music Room Memphis 2LP

Didn’t think much of the live album Ryko put out in the early ’90’s. But this… this is something special.

Start with the fact that this gig was performed BEFORE the now-famous appearance for the Rock Writer’s Convention (held in the same room four months later); this live show has the Chilton/Stephens/Hummel line-up working out in a performance setting the songs that would become the legendary Radio City album a year later.

It is important to note that this set was first issued as disc 4 of the Keep An Eye On The Sky boxed set, but now, Live At Lafayette’s Music Room is available as a stand-alone release. The sound quality is stunning – you really feel like you’re in that room, watching this powerhouse trio.
