Best Live Rock recording
- Thread starter darkhorse9

+1. Better Frampton than "Show Me the Way." The solo section, of course, is dominated by the coolness of the talkbox, but also has a HIP keyboard (Rhodes? Wurly?) solo.
The recording quality sucks but the performances are great: YES,Yessongs.
Good all around: "Gates Of Delirium" from Yesshows.

+1 for Frampton Comes Alive. The entire album is pretty epic. I was in the audience for several of the concerts on that tour, and it captures the sound/feel perfectly.

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
Instead of songs I was thinking of good live lp/cds
The Who Live at Leeds
Rush Exit Stage Left
For a single song ... YYZ from Rush in Rio. Mainly because of the crowd reaction.

I dunno if i can do singular songs, but i can provide some live albums that i consider to be extremely awesome.
Space Ritual - Hawkwind (Amazing space rock album, probably one of the best of 1973)
All the Worlds a Stage - Rush (Rush at their best and most raw in 1976)
Yessongs - Yes (A great live album, showing Yes at their best and in the height of their progressive rock career)

Iron Maiden's 'Fear of the Dark' immediately springs to mind as the one to fit this description.
Everytime I hear a live version of Crossroads by Cream it makes me feel incredibly inferior as a bassist. Hard not to blown away by it.
+1000 Little Feat - Waiting On Columbus
Joe Walsh - 'You Can't Argue With A Sick Mind' with Willie Weeks on bass...this was one of the albums that made me want to play bass!

Perfection
I can't think of any other word to describe it.

Rush - All The World's A Stage. Rush at their youthful finest. Loads of energy, Geddy slamming his Ric and screeching his brains out, Alex hammering his ES-345, and Neil beating the crap out of his drums. 2112, By-Tor And The Snow Dog, Anthem, Bastille Day, all their early stuff. Wish they could have done Garden Road or Fancy Dancer! Although I wasn't there they probably even had their kimonos on! 
"Fever"- Madonna...as in the SNL version with Vistor Bailey on bass & Omar Hakim on cans. Yeah, Weather Report's rhythm section (because Madonna was a fan).
SNL has a music DVD box set...this performance was one of the reasons I bought this set.
Anyway, this version cooked so hard that I was at the record store the next day...waiting outside for them to open the doors. I buy the album with "Fever" & it blows...glorified karoke...Madonna's vocals over a sequenced/synth'd-out track.
