I am a huge fan of live recordings. Given a choice between a live recording and a studio one; I will choose the live one every time.

My favorite live album is Motorhead's "No Sleep at All".

So, what is your favorite live recording?

IRON MAIDEN'S- 'ROCK IN RIO"

Can't get over Bruce singing-'Scream for me little wicked virgins.....and for mercy' or 'Something old......,something new......,something from our Jurassic Period-Wrathchild' or the ever popular-'Scream for me,Brazil'. :)

Super version of Fear of the dark.The intro inspired me to pick up the bass. :bassist:

Anyone else has it?

My fave was always Thin Lizzy's Live And Dangerous. A great recording. Alas, I later found out that the only thing live on it was the drums; there is a lot of post-production "sweetening" on that disc.

So my two favorites now are the Who's Live At Leeds and Husker Du's The Living End.

BTW--I don't know if Freaky Fender was only referring to the song, but the entire Starless And Bible Black album is not all live. The title track, "We'll Let You Know," and a few others are completely live. But "Great Deceiver" is a studio track, as is "Lament" and the rest. Great disc, though; had it in the car just the other day. Why Wetton doesn't play stuff like that anymore is beyond me.

Rush in Rio-Rush
S&M- (The last good thing metallica ever did, and boy was it good!)-MetallicA
Rock in Rio- I haven't actually heard it all yet, I just saw it on TV and heard a few songs, but I really should buy it. (They are Amazing in concert, Even better than April Wine :p )
Cirkus- King Crimson

(they aren't in any order, but Live form Oz is my fave, just because they're my fave band!)

I have both "No Sleep Till Hammersmith" and "No Sleep at All". I strongly recommend No Sleep at All. I feel it is the much better of the two albums, if only for Lemmy's spoken intro to "Built for Speed".

I also love "Rush in Rio" and "Rock in Rio".
