Title: Live In Los Angeles 1978
Artist: Budgie
Label: Noteworthy
Product Type: VINYL LP
UPC: 5015330267639
Genre: Rock

Double vinyl LP pressing of this live album from the Welsh hard rock band. Budgie's music is often described as a cross between the progressive textures of Rush and the heaviness of Black Sabbath. Burke Shelley's vocals have been compared to Geddy Lee due to his similar approach of high-pitched banshee wails (incidentally, Shelley and Lee are also the bass players in their respective power-trio bands). Although Budgie remained quite obscure during their early career, many future stars of hard rock/metal have cited them as an important influence and covered their songs, including Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Van Halen, Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden.
