New concert interpretations opened windows into careers that have endured, while remastered and expanded original albums likewise offered an opportunity for careful reevaluation. In both cases, these 10 reissues and live sets provided us with important new perspectives.
There’s Toto, digging deep into their catalog to frame their biggest hits — and completing a larger, typically unseen portrait of their sweeping musical prowess. And the Who, returning to a lesser-known classic-era album with a renewed sense of focus and determination.
There’s artists as disperate as Yes’ Jon Anderson and blues-rock pioneer Paul Butterfield, who saw signature albums return sounding more present and visceral than ever. Butterfield’s long-time collaborator Mike Bloomfield was also the subject of a long-over due comprehensive anthology, lovingly overseen by Al Kooper.
