Live at the Apollo — 1963

An electrifying live document that captured Brown's raw command. Thrilling and historic. One of the great live albums. Released in 1963, it set the tone for everything that followed.

On vinyl: The original pressing is a collector's piece; a modern remaster is the sensible route.
