I know, I know, I should be comparing Superfly. But I'm not. If you could only live with one of these, which would it be?

Mayfield vs anyone and Mayfield wins.

"Curtis Live", obviously. "Shaft" is way too aimless and, well, "soundtrack-y" most of the time to really hold much interest.

Curtis Live is one of my favourite ever live albums - i only ever listen to Shaft for the title track nowadays.

now, Curtis Live vs Hot Buttered Soul would have been a tougher fight.

A nice typo on my part. It was the wee hours, but I wasn't drinking. Oh well.

Curtis Live quite easily.

Curtis Live vs Jame Brown's Live at the Appolo vs Sam Cooke's Live at the Harlem Square Club would be a lot tougher, with Cooke shading it.

Will no one else honour the fire of Shaft?

I love Curtis more than Isaac, but studio records more than live. And "soundtracky" is the mood I've been in lately, so at this moment I would pick "Shaft."

That said, I do not currently own a copy of "Curtis Live" and need to -- it IS freakin' great...

What about "Trouble Man" vs "Shaft"? Or "The Payback" (even though it never actually got used in the film it was intended for) or "Shaft"?
