Always liked the version of “The Tennessee Stud” on that album.Some authentic American music
“The Tennessee Stud was long and lean,
Color of the sun, and his eyes were green.
And he had the nerve and he had the blood.
There never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud.”

Jeez... other than Jethro Tull, it's like a bad softrock station. Or an elevator music play list.
Not sure I can be friends with Deet anymore.
At least he didn't admit to liking REO Speedwagen and Rick Astley, but we all know he does.

FWIW, I've passed the love for both Simon & Garfunkel and The Doors down to another generation... #oldpeoplemusicmatters

Doc Watson is indeed an American treasure, but so is this guy who is largely forgotten and who wrote "Tennessee Stud".

Mine are live recordings.Always judge my music by the ability to perform live. These two are the apex of live performances.
1-A. Clapton---24 Nights. There are two versions--one is audio only, the other is DVD. Odd thing is there are some differences in the tunes on them. Audio version is best of the two(video version is close though)
1-B. Chicago---Live at Carnegie Hall. A 4-record set released in 1971. Awesome album and performance.

THIS!
Great point. And I also like when artists not only kick ass live, but it doesn't sound like I'm listening to their album.
Speaking of Carnegie Hall:

Ever since I started playing guitar back as a teen, I realized pretty quickly that studio cuts (which is what we all heard on the radio) didn't always reflect a group's/musician's ability. Re-dubbing, mixing, editing, etc., can make some folks sound much better than they really are. You give me a tune I know well from the radio(studio version) and then do it live---There is the real measure of talent. The true artists can normally make it sound better live-oftentimes, much better--and that's when I give them the true credit they're due.
And like you, why would anyone want to hear/see a live performance that is virtually identical to the studio version? You could save a bunch of money and sit at home to hear the same thing. I want something different than studio--and almost always I'm rewarded with a much, much better version. I've only hear a couple of groups that were actually worse live than in studio. Not always their fault....case in point--ZZ Top. Saw them first time back in early 70's. Ended up seeing them several times throughout the 70s as well. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed them each time.....BUT, when you only have 1 guitar, 1 bass, and a drummer....live simply cannot be as good as the studio version where they had some serious mixing & dubbing to get the final sound we all hear on the radio. Billy Gibbons plays lead guitar & some rhythm guitar on the studio tracks. Impossible to do it live with only 2 hands and one guitar. Some may disagree with me but I just find ZZ Top isn't nearly as good live as they are in studio. There are other examples too, but they are always the first that come to mind.
