Your favourite live album....?

[CypherOne]

DJ Shadow - In Tune and On Time...

thats not a live album pressing buttons to run pre arranged rpograms dont count

I don't entirely agree but I know where you're coming from. It has crowd noise in the background though so it should count...

John Mayer - Any Given Thursday

[basic channel]

Actually don't laugh but I have a fondness for this baby....



The Nuge was a wicked showman and axeman in those days...

BC

[DwarfNebula]

...

my shout is kind of blue - all done with 2 mikes

-Nick Lowe's Last Chicken In The Shop
-Wreckless Eric And The New Rockets
-Larry Wallis' Psychedelic Rowdies ("Police Car" )

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Dire Straits - Alchemy

FZ ~ make a jazz noise here ...

[Derek up North]

Free - Free Live. I swear that Paul Kosoff bypassed his plectrum and had his soul wired directly into his Les Paul. Not flash, less than 300 notes per second but boy did he have tone.

Zappa and the Mothers - Live at the Fillmore or Live in New York

Dr Feelgood - Stupidity

Santana - Moonflower (the live bits, obviously)

Yes - Yessongs (as stated earlier in this thread, so much better than the studio versions. Reminds me of reading Lord of the Rings for the first time though )

...and who could forget...

Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive. I was a mere teenager when this came out and we did a version of "Show Me The Way" during which our lead guitarist used a wah-wah but had a plastic tube taped to his mic stand which he stuck in the side of his mouth when he played, just for the pose value. To be honest I only like the memory - the album sucks

Regards,

Derek.

...or the helsinki concert

[mm_FX]

off the top of my head:

Boogie Down Productions - Live Hardcore Worldwide

Bob Marley - Live at the Lyceum (obvious one I know but so good)

The Roots - The Roots Come Alive!

Miles Davis - Live Evil

Anything by Jimi Hendrix

Medeski Martin & Wood - the one where they do the Jimi Hendrix covers

[Arglebargle]

Vanden Plas - Spirit Of Live

[cuppa]

thin lizzy - live & dangerous - still one of my faves
the sound - in the hothouse
robyn hitchcock - gotta let this hen out (i was there)
residents - 13th anniv show live in japan
the fixx - in concert
blurt - live in berlin

[Ja.x]

Don't fancy too much live records, but:

Live in Europe-Fats Domino
A Festival

Last Concert-Ramones
Don't remember the exact name, I'm not at home in the moment

Live in Lisbon-Pearl Jam
Great

Live in Tokyo-Niko
Cool !

[shamann]

Cheap Trick Live at Budokan
Dark Magus - Miles Davis Live Jazz should be counted as having an audience present.

Can't say I listen to a lot of live records.

[opiadream]

the rolling stones - get yer ya yas out

[duncanparsons]

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

..hmmmm.. well, it's not actually a live album is it? Tony Visconti erased everything except for the drums and crowd, and had the band rerecord everything else.. And got a grammy in the process! O Well, guess he knew what he was doing!

For me there are three:
Paris - Supertramp
Playing the Fool - Gentle Giant
Seconds Out - Genesis
