What People Don't Understand Is That The Underground That Existed Was Created In The Early 80s And Was Thriving Throughout The 80s. Until The Industry Showed Up It Was A Pretty Significant Network. It Was All Happening, But The Smell Of Money Had Not Wafted Up High Enough For The Industry. It Wasn't Really Until They Came Descending On Seattle That Things Really Got Out Of Control.

In The Late 90s, There Was A Reverse. Everyone Would Stand Stock Still And Be So Attentive And Quiet. But Then, It Was Almost Like, "c'mon People! Engage - Make A Show With Us!" You Can Hear These Different Eras Pass Through In The Recordings.

Guy Picciotto Had A Really Sound Point: Live Albums Basically Have Bands Playing Songs That Are Available On Studio Records, And What Example Can You Think Of Where The Live Album Is Better?
