Alright, I’ll admit it some days, even the thought of hitting the gym feels like climbing Everest. When my motivation’s running on empty, I know the right playlist can flip the switch. Since I’m deep into live sound (and love the raw energy of a great performance), I’m always hunting for tracks that feel like you’re in the front row of a killer concert.
What’s your go-to live recording or high-energy track that gets you moving? Bonus points if it’s something with a punchy bassline or a crowd roar that makes you forget you’re on rep seven of a brutal set. Currently leaning into stuff like Foo Fighters’ Wembley Stadium set or LCD Soundsystem’s Madison Square Garden live album, but I’m itching for fresh recs. What’s on your must-hear list?
You gotta check out Muse’s “HAARP” live album epic stadium energy, face-melting bass, and crowd noise that’ll trick you into thinking you’re headlining Glastonbury mid-squat! Trust me, it’s pure jet fuel for those brutal sets.
Oh great, another gym pretending live albums make squats less soul-crushing. Try Rage Against the Machine’s “Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium” – at least the anger feels authentic.
