From brutallyhonestrockalbumreviews.wordpress.com There are a couple of things that really bugged me about Pink Floyd’s latest release, Live at Knebworth 1990.  Firstly, versions of all of these songs recorded around the same time were released on Delicate Sound of Thunder already except “The Great Gig in the Sky”, and even that was on the 2019 re-release of the album.  Given that Floyd were never ones for mixing things up from night to night, how different could the versions on Live at Knebworth 1990 be?

The appearance of the 10-song Daltrey LP in April 1973 was the result of serendipity and a little casual work. “I was only doing a favor to help a friend of mine, Adam Faith,” he told the journalist Charles Charlesworth in 1997. “I never felt comfortable outside The Who…if I was out there singing but not with The Who, I had to make sure I was singing stuff The Who would never, ever do.” Faith (real name Terence Wright), a ’60s British teen idol and hitmaker who ..read more
