[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

I'll give an special mention to the two best sounding live albums ever in my opinion (not necessarily because of the "best music" but because of the "neatest performances", hoping they weren't heavily doctored in the studio):

("Pulse" may have more fans and I agree it's also a great and "neat" recording, but I like the versions from "DSoT" better)

Now, in terms of "intensity", my picks are:

And for an awesome display of musicianship combined with cool tunes, almost any live album from Frank Zappa does it for me.

 

[M0ses]

I'm too lazy to think of five, but if you thought RBF was good, you need to hear this.

They're literally like twice as good live. I've got this, and heard them live 4 times. AMAZING!!!

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

I'll be the first to say it. Frampton Comes Alive.

Well, I was the second.

With all the due respect, that album and Cheap Trick's "At Budokan" are widely regarded as some of the best live albums ever made and I don't see why. I mean, I like (and own) both, but to me they don't rank as "great" but simply "average".

 

[Ozonbass]

Wet Willie- Left Coast Live

 

[cassanova]

Queensryche - Operation LiveCrime
Dream Theater - Live at Budokan
Rush in Rio
