It's pretty apparent from this one that I love live albums. Five of the ten tracks on this list (*) are from live albums.

Interesting tidbit about the Steve Howe track. My wife and I were supposed to go see him about 20 years ago at a small (and I mean SMALL) venue in Philadelphia called The Theater of The Living Arts, or just The TLA. But she was really sick that night and we couldn't go, so I ate the tickets. Then years later I notice that Steve Howe released a live album and, simply because it's a Steve Howe album, I buy it. When I'm listening to it for the first time I'm reading the liner notes and see that it was recorded in Philadelphia. At the TLA. It was the show we couldn't go to! :hyper:
