[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Best LIVE album.................... (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 8/20/2004 9:11:32 AM EDT

I'm a real fan of the Genesis "Second Out" double live album but this morning, for the first time in a while, was listening to Deep Purple's "Made in Japan" and this has to be, considering the quality of the concert and the quality of the recording itself, given the technology available at the time, THE ABSOLUTE BEST.

There's other band I really enjoy-Yes, Beach Boys, Rippingtons-and their live albums SUCK.

Sound off. What's your favorite LIVE album and WHY?

They had that "Who, Live at the Isle of Wight" on High Definition TV this last week. It's good that it's out on DVD because it looks like the crowd was so stoned they likely don't remember it.

Keith Moon was definitely the driver of the band onstage. You couldn't see his feet but that must be where he gets a lot of his sound.

Frank Zappa's "You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore" Volumes 1-4000

I saw the thread topic, and thought - Genesis Seconds out...

Then I read the post...unreal. I though I was the last Genesis fan alive. I'm in my office, and I have both Genesis - Three Sides Live ( playing) as well as Seconds Out on my desk.

I have to say Seconds out takes the live category as a winner, but Frampton Comes Alive is a close second.

and .. What - no one for Cheap Trick Live at Budokan?

Good stuff listed here, including some I've completely forgotten/overlooked.

Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, Blue Oyster Cult.

The memories come flooding back.

Thanks guys.

I actually prefer studio tracks. I can understand the lyrics, the use of recreation pharmaceuticals was more regulated, it's what I grew up listening to on the radio.

The last one is Rollins Band at the Metro down in Wrigleyville (Chi-town). I was at the show and have never been to a better produced concert in my entire life.

Simply Awesome!!!

And The Greatest Band You Never Heard, 2 cd set from his 11 piece band in the late 80s. Cleveland show almost made me follow them around.

While not with an audience, Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is an all-time great where each track was done in one take as a group.

Not an album, but Zeppelin's How The West Was Won is fantastic!

Technically, it's a double album....but yes, it is a great album as well. God's Own Drunk...a classic.

Glad to see some Zappa fans. Did not agree with some of his political views but his music was unbelievable. I still have about 25 Zappa albums. My favorite albums are the ones that had Flo and Eddie with them. My mother knew him quite well in the early 60's when he lived in the area and had his recording studio in Cucamonga.

Who-isle..
ac/dc-if you want blood

not bad performance, but the groups energy for this show is unsurpassed in any other of their boots out their.
not bad considering it was a audience taper rather than sounboard.
nothing better than bootlegs

Anyone ever notice how most bands up the tempo on their songs when playing live??

For me there's 2 factors for liking a Live album
Can I REALLY understand what they are saying and playing and the songs must sound good with the slight upbeat tempo.

I've heard some really good studio bands sound like absolute shit when they play live.

Bob Marley - Babylon By Bus

Dire Straits - Alchemy

The Allman Brothers - Live At The Filmore East

Grateful Dead - Europe 72

Grateful Dead - Without A Net

Tool - Opiate (only 2 live tracks, but so good it needs to make this list)

Janes Addiction - Live

Pantera - 101 Proof

Rollins Band - (Can't remember the name, last live CD)

Hendrix - Anything Live He Did.

Too many others...I quit.

The last time I saw Rollins Band, was without a doubt one of the best shows I have ever seen. That guy sweats blood he works so hard on stage, and the music absolutely tore the earth in half it was so powerful. GREAT show.
