    Truly a heavy-duty-epic, "Live Evil" marked an end to the late '60's early fusion period of "In A Silent Way" - "Filles de Kilimangero" - "A Tribute To Jack Johnson" - "Bitches Brew" for Miles Davis.
    Tons of great percussion with multiple keyboards highlight these live tracks for me.
    Maybe it takes a couple listens to grow on you but after listening to it on a 90 minute tape loop for 10 hours straight after a New Years all-nighter in 2002-03 it became to me unmatched and a pinnacle LP in the Miles catalog.
    - True I am a Miles Davis fan, but this could very well be my favorite LP, any genre ☺
