Best Live Album

[General Zod]

"Live at Leeds" captures the Who in all their fury. I was totally blown away the 1st time I listened to that album. The expanded CD is even better.

Honorable mention to The Who's "Live at the Isle of Wright Festival 1970"

On edit: I had the album titles listed, but somehow they didn't get posted

[JimmyJazz]

1. Sorry Bubba: From Here to Eternity - the Clash

the only problem with it: It should have been a double album :)

[Fenris]

13. Have you heard the "Live In Tokyo 1982" bootleg?

Good stuff. It's packaged with 4 tracks from a concert in Lochem that same year.

[JimmyJazz]

15. No and I'll be in touch!

1982 was a very good year :7

[flamingyouth]

27. Gee, where did you get that?

Crazy Lisa's House of Records? :D

[General Zod]

17. I'm ashamed to say it, but I've never heard that album.

That's the only Clash album I've haven't heard.

I recently got "Super Black Market Clash" and that's all I've been listening to lately

[JimmyJazz]

22. ACK!

:spank:

No - really - it is an amazing live album, but I'm a little bit partial because I was at most of the shows that are on the cd including Shea stadium in 1982. :)

[livinginphotographs]

2. Other.

Joy Division's "Still" (tracks 10-20)

[enigmatic]

4. Good Call

I love the live version of "Decades", out of tune synth-and-all..

[livinginphotographs]

18. Those crazy analog synths...

My Juno goes out of tune all the time...it's so irritating when you get started on a song and realize you've been out of tune the whole time.

I actually heard that version of Decades several times before i heard the studio version, so it actually sounded weird in tune to me.

[tuvor]

7. Would've loved to hear their version of Louie Louie.

Woah.

[enigmatic]

3. "Velvet Underground Live 1969"

The original double LP version; "Live At Leeds" would be 2nd..

[tuvor]

5. U2 Under a Blood Red Sky

Double LP, nuthin', JJ! U2 managed brilliance at EP length.

(Let's pretend Rattle & Hum never happened, okay? Oh, and my favorite Clash album is Sandinista! Does that help? ;))

[MrSlayer]

6. Other: Led Zeppelin: How the West was Won.

Absolutely fucking brilliant.

Slayer: Live Undead is a close second.

[mr blur]

44. I second that emotion

if we aren't allowed to have bootlegs.

[SmileyBoy]

8. From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

by Nirvana

[Kali]

9. I know this is lame, but I'm a product of the times

and it actually was a pretty good album.



Ready?





Peter Frampton Comes Alive.


I am in a VERY wierd mood today, forgive me.

[General Zod]

12. I purposely left that one off.....

I can't listen to it anymore.

[Kali]

20. Deep Purple - Made in Japan

also can't leave out



:hippie: :hippie: :hippie: :smoke: :hippie: :hippie: :hippie:




WOODSTOCK!!!!

[Osamasux]

26. I was a Humble Pie fan and was really looking forward to

that release. He was amazing by the time he was seventeen. Ah, what might have been.

At least he is back to doing good music these days, touring with Jack Bruce Band and Ringo's Superstars, among other projects.

[sundog]

10. uh - Stop Making Sense

duh :7

[Tyrone Slothrop]

36. Actually, the new TH live CD "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads"

is WAY better than Stop Making Sense in the opinion of this Heads fan.

Have you heard it yet? It's only been released in the last year or so.

[Joe Power]

11. As much as it pains me to say this...

..."Live Bullet" is one hell of an album. I'm not much of a Seger fan, but damn that thing rocked.

"Live at Leeds" and "The Allman Brothers live at the Filmore" come in second for me. "Rattle and Hum" was also pretty darn good, imo.

[Fenris]

14. Joy Division - Les Bains Douches 18 December 1979

[dean_dem]

40. Hell yeah!

New Order's live recordings were terrible, but Joy Division was excellent.

[Melynn]

16. The Stones

"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" The Stones at their very best.

[mac56]

19. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band: Live Peace In Toronto

nm

[Zomby Woof]

21. The best obscure live album

Warren Zevon's "Stand In The Fire" from 1980. Sadly, out of print.

Favorites include Skynyrd's "One More From The Road", Allman Brothers "Live At The Fillmore East", Gov't Mule's "With A Little Help From Our Friends", and Bob Seger's "Live Bullet".

[jdots]

23. " Fog Hat " live at Tee-Tee's Diner in Walpole ,Mass .

1970 recorded on 8 track cartridge.......

[Ron Green]

24. Duke Ellington's legendary Fargo, ND dance from November 1940. 50 tunes.

Duke's best band, just doin' what they did. As a child of the 50's, who saw the Beatles live and heard Elvis perform in a gym, I've got to say that rock 'n' roll is not the best popular music that ever was.

[Osamasux]

25. From the list, have to go with the Stones Get Yer Ya-Yas Out.

The live version of Midnight Rambler is one for the ages.
Allmans Live at the Fillmore East in second.

Off the list, I would add

Zappa & the Mothers - Live Roxy & Elsewhere
Humble Pie - Performance! Rocking the Fillmore
Joplin - In Concert

[khashka]

28. Tori Amos

The live Cd on the To Venus And Back collection. Just listen to the live version of Waitress - when that girl rocks she seriously rocks.

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Cheap Trick "Live at Budokan"

The best ever.

[corksean]

30. "Live & Dangerous" by Thin Lizzy

Still as good today.

[bif]

31. MC5-"Kick Out The Jams"

[Dukkha]

32. not an official release Pink Floyd: The Man & The Journey

also known as Amsterdam 69

34. Alice Donut, "Dry-Humping the Cash Cow"

Awesome. Recorded live in small clubs, but with cheering-crowd swells edited in from the live albums of arena bands, and parodic song intros also edited in, based on iconic between-song patter from, again, more famous bands' live albums. That, and Alice Donut just flat-out fuckin' rocked live.

[Tafiti]

35. I think you gotta go with...

"Throwing Copper" heh heh.

[Beaverhausen]

37. Bonnie Raitt - Road Tested

this live album totally rocks. She is great and has been rocking for over 30 years!

[auburngrad82]

38. Joe Ely, Live at Liberty Lunch eom

[Radical Activist]

39. George Thurogood is great live

much better than his studio albums.
From that list I picked the Allman Brothers.

[dean_dem]

41. The Smiths- Rank

Listening to Morrissey growl "Bigmouth Strikes Again" is just amazing. And a version of "Still Ill" far superior to the studio version.

[maveric]

42. Humble Pie "Rockin on the Fillmore"

Kick ass blues-rock at its best.
Peter Frampton on guitar.

[arwalden]

43. Frampton Comes Alive

[leftofthedial]

45. The Band

The Last Waltz

[kwassa]

46. Benny Goodman, Live at Carnegie Hall, 1938

The king of swing brings jazz to Carnegie Hall, with some of the wildest solos I ever heard.

[Liberal Veteran]

47. Mental Jewelry

[tcoursen]

50. Secret Samadhi is better

Metal Jewelry is good, but they have better CDs.

[Boswells_Johnson]

48. Made In Japan!
