I like listening to music live in concert a lot more than studio albums because with live music, it feels real. Songs sound different at every show, different improvising skills, they play the songs much longer live than in the studio, tighter guitar playing, etc. Most people don’t like to listen to live albums but like to listen to studio more. I like the other way around.

Brock’s Top Ten Favorite Live Music Albums are here, with no explanations, I just love these records:

1. Led Zeppelin – “How the West Was Won”
2. Jimi Hendrix – “Live a the Filmore East” (2 disc set)
3. Johnny Cash – “Live at Folsom Prison”
4. Eric Clapton – “MTV Unplugged”
5. David Bowie – “Bowie at the Beeb”
6. The Clash – “Live at Shea Stadium”
7. Metallica – “S&M”
8. Lou Reed – “Perfect Night – Live In London”
9. Nirvana – “MTV Unplugged In New York”
10.  The Grateful Dead – “Dozing At the Knick”

I’ve heard a lot of local albums over the years. I’ve been a part of local music for a long long long time. Ever since the early 90’s, I’ve started checking out local bands, going to shows and buying albums off of bands, all that stuff. I’ve been doing that since then.

I’ve heard so many good local music albums over the years but honestly, Lunic’s “Love Thief” wipes them all away.

I bought and downloaded the album for my Ipod, and listened to it while I was working out at the gym today. The songwriting on the disc is probably the most powerful and the most emotional music I ever heard. It really is amazing stuff. Katie Paige is a great singer and listening to that violin in these songs is what did it. The rest of the band plays well.

I’ve supported a lot of local acts but really haven’t been much of a die hard fan of any local bands from the past until Lunic came around. I’m now a die hard fan of them.

I want to go out and see a show of Lunic’s so I can hear them live and meet the band. After hearing this album, they won’t be local for long I’m sure, they’ll move on quick to get signed to a record label ’cause they deserve a record deal more than any other band in this area.

Lunic is so different than any band around here, which is what I love about them. This is the best local band I’ve seen around in a long time. They take their music seriously and they are profesional.

Why aren’t other bands like them? Most bands around here are a bunch of three chorders rock bands that do nothing but get drunk and wasted at bar room gigs.

I don’t want Lunic to stay around here in the Capital District for long, I would love to see them move to an area where they can get a record contract. They certainly won’t get signed here so hope they move to L.A. or New York soon. Lunic is an amazing band. Love them.
