[MD Stingray]

Aston Barrett laying down some serious low end and fat laid back reggae groove.

ABB Live at the fillmore east!
Rory Gallagher Irish Tour Live a close second.

Many years back I was told that Rory was not very well known in the US. Is there any truth about it at all?

"Exit Stage Left", Rush

 

[Mattrill]

ABB Live at the fillmore east!
Rory Gallagher Irish Tour Live a close second.

You'd think it was a studio album... Trouble No More is amazing.

 

[Rimbaud88]

Jimmy Hendrix at Isle of Wight festival, two weeks before his death. I have never seen such a musical power.

 

[BigDrew]

Rush - Exit Stage Left was life changing for me. Seriously.
Peter Erskine - The Interlochen Concert. So clean it's hard to imagine that it is live. Such good musical choices. Please check it out.

I think this one is as good as any double live album from the 70's. I still listen to it today.

Elton John - 11/17/70. All three musicians absolutely killed it. But find the original (non-remastered) versin. Although it has a few less tunes, the remaster messed with the tone and speed.

 

[Fat Freddy]

Joe Cocker....Mad dogs and Englishmen

 

[RichardW]

Can't believe no one's mentioned "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends, Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson, Lake and Palmer."

I still listen to that a lot, after 40+ years.

 

[buldog5151bass]

Some of these are almost funny. I love the Beatles, but Hollywood Bowl is a terrible album other than the songwriting.

Eagles Live is a very tight album.

Listen to The Fab Faux playing side 2 of Abbey Road.

More and more, it seems many of these are not really "live".
