| | | | Best Live Rock recording
Sign in to disble this ad
Don't know if this teaser has been thrown out here before, but this is an argument that my friends and I have debated a long time. What is the greatest live recording of a rock song? I tend to stay towards the more commercial entries with my list. The idea being the live version becomes the version that every wants to hear and the studio version (if there is one) seems lame.
1. I Want You To Want Me
2 Running On Empty
3. Free Bird
4. Turn The Page
5. Fingertips
6. Riding The Storm Out
7. Show Me The Way
8. Smoke On The Water

The Eagles - "Get Over It" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive"

"Show Me The Way" | Great example. The live version was the hit...the studio version was a bit lame in comparison.

As classic rock live recordings go, that is, soup to nuts, IT.
As single songs...
well, I am *so* sick of "do you feel like I do" that I just can't get behind it... and I'd consider "Freebird" were it not for Skynard's recent choice to tour with Sean Hannity in some cracker tour...
So single best live recording, to me? In memory of Elizabeth Read from, of course, Allman Bros, live at the Fillmore east, of course!

Lots of great musicians have very little common sense and certainly have little financial sense. They're just lucky they have lot's of talent to cover this deficency. |

Normally, I try to tune this stuff out... But this one just went over my "personal line". Every man has his limit, right?
