Analyzing album covers: LIVE (1980)

[FierySequences]

I love this cover, it is easy for me to see the reverse images of LB, SN, even a lil bit of Chris, but difficult to see the other two

I must have bought a later pressed version of this cd, b/c I don't have any other photos....just the concert city itinary.

I like this one, on the inside you can really see how cocaine and the tour were affecting them both mentally and physically, except for John, you can't really see his face.

My imported (early 90s) CD has the same pictures of the vynil album, we peruvians were lucky

Glad to share those with you!

I have question. Was Lindsey a fashion visionary with his Miami Vice look during the Tusk tour? Or was it a common look in 1979/80 in the States?



And don't you think he look very thin in his close up pic? Looks like it was taken when the tour already took its toll.

I like the cover and the blurriness, but don't know what it is. Is it two photos transposed over each over or are Mick and John still facing the audience while the others are already in the process of turning to leave the stage.

One thing that's always bothered/puzzled me about this cover: is Lindsey facing the audience? It's clear that everyone else is, but it looks like his back is to the audience.

Lindsey and the girl near him (Stevie?) are looking to the camera. Mick and John look to the audience. Christine (center) is an enigma to me.

This link has a very large picture, you can study it

After a couple of tours, I appreciate how the cover is a blur, because touring is like a blur.

I guess I'm one of the 'few' but I don't like this LP cover. Why with all the pictures they have can't just have a nice group shot. I think the blurry cover is horrible but thats IMO....it is what it is but it could've been sooooo much better thats all I'm saying.

Lindsey definitely has his back to the audience.

Anyone have larger versions of the sleeves? I know we have seen a lot of these images alone..and larger..but I would like to see the inner layouts as a whole a bit better!
