favorite live albums

[eriky4003]

Kiss - Alive
Rush - Exit Stage Left
Journey - Captured. Ross Valory killed on this recording. Great rhythm section.

 

[mellowinman]

Rush "All the World's a Stage."
Lou Reed "Rock and Roll Animal."
Led Zeppelin "The Song Remains the Same."
Jethro Tull "Live: Bursting Out."
Yes "Yessongs."
Cheap Trick "At Budokan."
(grudgingly)
KISS "Alive."

There are others, but those really stand out. Lots of various Hendrix live tracks, but no particular album stands out.

The live tracks on "opiate" by Tool are awesome. Tight band and Maynard can sing his ass off.

forgot about those I agree but not crazy abou the "i had a friend once..."

I have never known what he was talking about, care to fill me in?

 

[chuck norriss]

A lot of acid & H around l.a. around that time. It was dark. I lost some friends who were into hard drugs. Anyway I don't think that part of the song was serious--maynard would talk a lot during shows, sometimes funny almost always sarcastic smart ass pedantic, and tool was part of that green jello crowd. I think it's just part of their superiority/ darker-than-you smarter than you complex. as for the lyrics dropping acid causes delusions & hallucinations among other things.

No mention of "Live After Death" yet? That's crazy. I read the whole thing, but it's possible I missed it. Every other choice I would make has already been suggested. Up the Irons!

+++++
and I love the sound and feel of All The World's a Stage, especially "Fly By Night." Sounds like three friends in a rock band.
