Best live album?

[pbass2]

I don't really care much for live albums these days, but I'd have to still list the stuff I grew up on: Yessongs, Song Remains the Same, USA (King Crimson) Made in Japan(DP), Frampton Comes Alive, Live at Leeds, Rockin' the Fillmore(Humble Pie), ----damn, the list goes on....they really DON'T make 'em like they used to. . . . .

EDIT: and how could I forget, Cheap Trick live at Budokan!

Slayer- Decade of Aggression
Humble Pie- Fillmore
Overkill- wrecking your neck
Anthrax- music of mass destruction

For me, the greatest live performance ever would be The Jimi Hendrix Experience at Monterey.

Deep Purple - Made in Japan

Several people beat me to the punch with the best live albums ever:
Zappa Roxy and Elsewhere
Gentle Giant
James Gang Live

But I don't think anyone mentioned this one yet and it blew me away watching the video ages ago when it first came out (had it on VHS tape - haha) - managed to find this on YouTube but it isn't the great video that I had - I wonder where that full concert video is now?


Edit: I found what looks like the video I had back in the day:

My musical tastes have changed a lot since this came out when I was a teenager, but I still love this album.

I don't generally care for live albums, 2 exceptions are Mighty Mighty Bosstones Live at the Middle East and Wood Bros Sky High. Love those 2 could listen over and over again.

One Live Badger

Live Rust.....or The Last Waltz

 

[REMBO]

THE WHO "Live At Leeds"

 

[Ant Illington]

I've been listening to some live Peter Gabriel today and it's just smashing. Tony Levin's bass work just elevates and grounds the music at the same time.
What are your favorite live albums?

James

UFO- Strangers in the Night
Ozzy- Speak of the Devil
Ozzy- The one with Randy Rhodes
Barenaked Ladies Live at Red Rocks is awesome, don't know if it's an album but it's on MTV Live these days.

There isn't enough live R&B out there but check out "Keep Your Head to the Sky" by Earth Wind and Fire. Great cut.

Same here!

 

[StuStu]

Little Feat-Waiting For Columbus
Allman Bros.-Live at Fillmore East.

I've been recording concerts since the late 80s and much prefer a live show over a recorded album. You get to see what they're really made of sans producer.

Nocturne by Siouxsie and the Banshees is the one live album I've listened to more than any other.

Exit Stage Left by Rush
Last Fair Day Gone Night by Katatonia
Oil on Canvas by Japan
Concert by The Cure
Still(LP 2) by Joy Division
Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape by Bauhaus
Genesis Live

 

[bassstrangler]

Under A Blood Red Sky by U2 is my favorite album by them.
