More recordings like "The Trinity Sessions"?


Apparently the group just set up and began to play and record. Are there more examples other than concerts that were made this way? I'm aware that at one time that was the way it was done but am asking about more recent recordings.
Examples?
Thanks

It's a very different style of music, but Todd Rundgren was pretty well known for employing this approach from time to time - with varying degrees of success. I couldn't tell you every release that he took that way, but there are several that I'm aware of. The most successful example (IMHO) of those TR records is Nearly Human, the least successful is probably Second Wind (IMO the record, ahem, blows).

Per John's reference to SQ:

If that's what you're after, pass on the Rundgren stuff. Not good. I assumed that you were more focused on the live/spontaneous feel of the performances.

John,

I got hold of 2 Cow's WAOB. Great call, thanx. You might check out the Canadian band called "Jr. Gone Wild". Very much of a piece with WAOB.
Forgot to paste the Jr Gone Wild link
