Foxy Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Scorpions World Wide Live First live album I bought
fidelityfiend Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 wow - some excellent choices with several of my faves in there - here's a couple more to consider: UFO - Strangers In The Night Aerosmith - Live Bootleg Friday Night In San Francisco - Al DiMeola, Paco DeLucia, John McLaughlin :guitar: :guitar: :guitar:
edna Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Of course, "Deep Purple Made in japan"... and Cheap trick "At Budokan". "Get yer ya ya´s out", Stones... "Live Bullets", Bob seger.
ImThatGuyToo Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 I like how much coverage How The West Was Won is getting, as it's my favorite as well. But nobody mentioned BBC Sessions from Led Zeppelin or Cream, or Clapton's Rainbow Concert.
Steel2Velvet Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen with Leon Russel on piano (their side conversation on mic prior to one song is classic), Jim Keltner on drums and Rita Coolidge is one of his backup singers. Great feel of the live atmosphere and the music reproduction is the best I have heard on a live album. "Woodstock" is another great live album.
Uncle Joe Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Streisand's Concert in Central Park is one of her best.
The Seeker Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 How The West Was Won Woodstock (both the festival soundtrack and Jimi Hendrix's) Live At Leeds by The Who
cosmosis Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Posted January 8, 2005 Forgot all about: Eagles Live. From 80 or 81??
Karhul Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 I would have to say How the West was Won by Led Zeppelin. :guitar: :guitar:
Bald Guy Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Here are some great live albums that seem to have slipped through the cracks; The Who: "Live at Leeds". I've always felt the best live albums make you feel like you are right in the audience. The sound is far from pristine, like "Ya Ya's", but for excitiement, energy and spirit, it's hard to beat. Check out the re-master with extra tracks. "Woodstock": Some low points, but more than enough "high" points to make this a classic. Standout performances by Ten Years After, SLy and the Family Stone and Hendrix "Frampton Comes Aive": Yeah I know..too commercial and popular, but still a landmark album. Great performance, supportive crowd and some good rock and roll to boot. "Slade Alive:" Not well enough known here in North America but this British rock/glam/pub quartet could be the best live act ever in England. Great versions of "Born to be Wild" and "Darling Be Home Soon", despite the belch in the middle!
edna Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Yes Bald Guy, you mentionned a big one which we forgot, Woodstock... and welcome to songfacts.
Uncle Joe Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Yes Bald Guy, you mentionned a big one which we forgot, Woodstock... and welcome to songfacts. You talkin' ta me?
edna Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 You talkin' ta me? No, but I love you anyway!!
rkfan413 Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 I really love "Neil Young Unplugged" from MTV's Unplugged.
rkfan413 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 DISPATCH "Gut the Van" it's probably the best live album ever. these guys have so much raw talent and this cd proves it.

Ken Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 The live album that defined live rock albums... "When your down in the dumps, and you need something to bring you up, there's only one thing gonna do it the way you want it!"
cosmosis Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Posted January 16, 2005 lol wasn't that a studio album with some crowd noise slap into it

edna Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 "Live at Chastain park", James Brown. Awesome version of "It´s a man´s world"...
Foxy Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 The live album that defined live rock albums... "When your down in the dumps, and you need something to bring you up, there's only one thing gonna do it the way you want it!" Rock on Ken
dalnet22 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live '75 to '85 boxset is the greatest of all time.
