^ If you don't like live albums, you haven't been listening to the right ones.
Bjork, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Sunn O))), Boris, The Who, Midori, Yapoos/Togawa/Guernica, Oomori, Metallica, Iron Maiden all come to my mind instantly when I think of great live albums.
As for
Ukina compiling stuff together: sure this is true, but it's still missed a fair few tracks too. Just this year, for example, it misses the (vastly superior) Death Jazz Version of Assassin's Assassin and the two (ultra-grower) other tracks from Tomita Lab's
Joyous. (Not to mention that
CIRCLES by SAPS is a great album too.)
Re:
Mitsugetsu Shou compared to the other Ringo live album: This particular compilation is
way better than
Tokyo Collection, which somehow managed to miss pretty much every
Jihen song people would want to hear, instead it tries
representing the songwriting of the whole band. A noble idea, but we all really know who the star of the show is in Jihen....
