fav live albums

Post by theadge »

Yessongs — Yes (all the prog one could need)
Nocturne — Siouxsie and the Banshees (scream for me, baby)
Stone, Steel and Bright Lights — Jay Farrar (this is supposed to be a Jay Farrar message board, after all)
Live Between Us — The Tragically Hip (canehdian, eh)
Live at Leeds — The Who (raw power)
Different Stages — Rush (better sound quality that Rush in Rio, even has a bonus disc from 79)
Europe '72 — Grateful Dead (OK, I'll give in to peer pressure)
Unplugged — Neil Young (it's still live, just quieter)

I had a Lucinda boot, but I gave it to my wife (along with some Nevilles and some Neil), and I've never got it back.

I hope the new Lucinda Williams live album will be good. I have the bootlegs from the shows that album is based on and those are awesome.

Neil Young's Time Fades Away is live.
And rather good.

Please, if we are going the Prog rock/Genesis route it has to be Genesis Live, not that Phil Collins crap. Watcher of the Skies rocks.
Oh no!
What next?
Yes?
King Crimson? :lol:

Yep, I'd have to agree.

Wings Over America brings back some memories too...

Three sides live is outstanding. Phil does his best Peter Gabriel imitations on that one. I love that one. "wait for her Ci...ni.....ma Show..."

(I like the first side of The Joshua Tree and a couple of tracks on Achtung Baby, but that's about it).
Actually, f*ck it- I stand by what I said! :P
No, I think you were way too kind the other day :D

My favorites are:

Live At The Fillmore - The Allman Brothers
All live albums with AC/DC (AC/DC Live was the album that really got me interested in music and made me start to play guitar. If You Want Blood is excellent and so is the stuff in the Bonfire boxset)
Alchemy - Dire Straits (I used to listen to this a lot a long time ago. Might have been one of the first albums I ever bought)

I also like the live album Free did. Maybe not the best album ever but I like how it ends and fades into this great mellow studio song called Where I Belong (or something like that)

True, but that ain't a live album.
