Arriving hot on the heels of the success of Slayer's debut SHOW NO MERCY, this seven-song live release features five tracks from that album, one from the HAUNTING THE CHAPEL three-song EP and another non-album track, "Aggressive Perfector." The heavy sound espoused on the band's debut translates nicely to the stage, and the band proves that it can deliver the goods, with Tom Araya's screams in fine form. With little exception, the songs here pretty much follow the arrangements of their studio counterparts, but they are imbued with the same energy and menace that made the recorded originals so appealing. Considering it would be years before the thrashing foursome would release a full-length live album, LIVE UNDEAD is good for hardcore fans seeking more documentation of Slayer's exciting early period.
Personnel: Tom Araya (vocals); Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King (guitar); Dave Lombardo (drums).
Audio Remasterer: Eddy Schreyer.
Live Undead Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)    List All 7 Reviews Live? Undead
I remember seeing an old Undead (punk rock with former Misfits member Bobby Steele) album called Live Slayer. Funny thing is I wonder if the Undead guys know a couple members of Slayer are big Punk Fans. I heard this album was actually recorded in a studio with some welcomed guests to enjoy the live studio recording. Non the less it contains previoulsy released material, but, in a raw live fashion. I suggest you buy it.

 Amazing CD
Its crazy to think that these guys were only about 20 yrs old when they made this cd. Slayer nails every riff with perfection and they are more frantic and aggressive on this live cd than on decade of agression.

Night of the Living Dead!
Previous studio tracks from Show No Mercy and Haunting the Chapel, with 3 scorching live tracks make for one Hell of a ride! Slayer gives everyone a taste of what they sound like live, TOTALLY BRUTAL! A must for those who wish to follow the evolution of Metal's most extreme band!

Check Availability
Recorded live between October 24, 1993 and October 12, 1995. Includes liner notes by Paul Rappaport.
Featuring such artists as Bruce Cockburn, James Taylor, Shawn Colvin, and Mary-Chapin Carpenter, the second compilation drawn from The Columbia Records Radio Hour remains primarily a forum for singer/songwriters on the Sony Music roster. But the lineup has been expanded to include groups like Toad the Wet Sprocket and Booker T. & the MGs, thus taking in more produced music in different genres, and also such artists as the Dave Matthews Band, Little Feat, Nanci Griffith, Victoria Williams, Lou Reed, and Boz Scaggs, who work for other record companies. As that list of performers indicates, there is a lot of talent here, and the open format, in which, for instance, Cockburn and Youssou N'Dour sing Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom." each in his own language, and in which Boz Scaggs fronts Booker T. & the MGs on the Albert King song "As the Years Go Passing By," allows for some interesting mixtures. ~ William Ruhlmann

Dedicated to the work of master arranger Gil Evans, who passed away shortly before its 1987 release, SIESTA represents an even more compelling Miles Davis/Marcus Miller collaboration than their work on TUTU. In a way, it is a contemporary return to the Iberian glory of the classic Davis/Evans masterpiece, SKETCHES OF SPAIN, although it is obviously not a work derived from acoustic orchestral techniques, ...

Live Undead album
$11.59
Paul Clayton is one of the unsung heroes of the '60s folk revival. He was an avid collector of folk songs and an early companion of Bob Dylan, who may have been influenced by Clayton's low-key, half-sung, half-spoken delivery. He's remembered today, if at all, because it's been said that Dylan wrote "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "It Ain't Me, Babe" about their relationship. It's widely known that Clayton's song "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone" was the template for "Don't Think Twice," although the melody was a traditional one Clayton collected during his travels as a folklorist. All that said, this is one of Clayton's most exuberant albums, full of songs about the pitfalls of marriage and the wicked ways of women. (Clayton was gay, so maybe he was playfully venting some of his anger at heterosexual hegemony.) Clayton is accompanied here by future Greenbriar Boy Bob Yellin on banjo and cittern, a medieval stringed instrument that sounds like a harpsichord. The arrangements are simple -- old-time music meets bluegrass -- but Clayton's sly vocals bring these tales of misfortune and cuckoldry to life. "Stay Away from the Girls" delineates the horrors of married life; Yellin's banjo gives the tune an extra kick. "I Wish I Was Single Again" is one of the best-known songs about the hazards of marriage, again benefiting from Yellin's sprightly banjo. "The Old Wife Who Wanted Spruncin'" is slightly more feminist, the story of a widow who still ...
