It has been a great few weeks of music releases.  First there was Record Store Day on Black Friday with all kinds of special releases from just about everybody, and last week was a great week of collections, box sets, reissues, and more.  This week is looking pretty good, too.

Today there are some great live shows being released, a couple of them from the late 70s.  You'll be able to get a New Year's Eve show from Cheap Trick, and a deluxe version of an old Todd Rundgren and Utopia show.  There is a live Black Crowes show coming out today.  A greatest hits package for fans of the late Joe Cocker.  And Marty Balin pays tribute to Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship.

If you are looking to give the gift of music, today's releases will help you complete that gift buying list.  There is a lot for music lovers to choose from this holiday season.  Or just get it for yourself and enjoy some great holiday listening.  here are today's releases.
