Favorite Live Album

From way back I'll have to say Johnny Winter And Live. It's one of my all time favs for pure rock energy. I think there may have been some amphetamine usage on that tour....

+ 1 Recorded same nights as ABB Live at Filmore.
The lineup at the show was Elvin Bishop followed by ABB and headlined by Johnny Winter.
I know this cause I was there..my first concert ever..
I still have the original ticket stub in on of those baseball card protectors...I also have the original program.
I thank my older brother Glenn for taking me there....:hyper:
 
My list would include
ABB Live at Filmore..Wipe the Windows is a pretty nice Live album as well by ABB
Humble Pie Rockin the Filmore
Climax Blues Band has a very good live album ....
Rolling Stones..Get Your Ya Yas Out... great album The Stones at their best.
Edgar Winters Roadwork album has some great performances on the album...Randy Jo Hobbs is killing on that recording.
 
In no order of preference - they're ALL good!

1) Allman Bros - Fillmore East
2) Genesis Live (1973)
3) Magma - Live (Hhai) - Bernard Paganotti's overdriven yet very articulate bass work is a wonder to behold!
4) Live Cream Vol II
5) Edgar Winter's White Trash - Roadwork
6) The Who-Live at Leeds
7) Duke Ellington - Ellington At Newport
8) Miles Davis - Live At Carnegie Hall with the Gil Evans Orchestra (not the best sounding recording but what a performance!)
9) King Crimson - USA (this one made me a fan!)
10) Thelonious Monk - Big Band and Quartet In Concert
11) Sinatra At The Sands (w/ Count Basie)
12) Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light
13) Gentle Giant - Playing The Fool
14) Joe Jackson Big World
15) Tom Waits - Nighthawks At The Diner
16) Steve Khan - Blades/Modern Times
17) Frank Zappa - Roxy and Elsewhere
18) Tower of Power - Live and In Living Color
19) Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco
20) Brecker Bros. - Heavy Metal Be-Bop
 
YesShows is still one of my favs and an amazing live album for Squire fans. Chris did the mix on that album and made sure that the bass was good and loud in the mix. Genesis "Three Sides Live" is also realy good.
 
- Aretha Franklin Live at the Filmore
- Donny Hathaway live
- Bill Withers Live at Carnagie Hall
- James Taylor Live (Jimmy Johnson, Carlos Vega, Don Grolncik... IMO one of the best live pop performances ever recorded).
 
I have already submitted here but something else occured to me. Strictly from a bass players perspective how can we not recognize:

"The Deepest End" concert by Govt Mule

Where else can you see/hear George Porter, Jr., Les Claypool, Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Rob Wasserman, Jason Newsted, Dave Schools, Roger Glover, Mike Gordon, Paul Jackson, Conrad Lozano, Will Lee, Greg Rzab...
