Best Live Albums

[Borillar]

Some bands can never put it together on stage the way they do in the studio. Other bands thrive on live performances. Some are equally good live or in studio. These are my top 5 favorite live albums. Any other favorites?

1. Remember That Night - David Gilmour
2. Live at the Fillmore East - The Allman Brothers
3. Live at Leeds - The Who
4. One More For/From the Road - Lynyrd Skynyrd
5. The Song Remains the Same - Led Zeppelin

When I saw this thread, "Live Dates" first came to mind.

A very biased opinion, but Yessongs (1973) is my fave.

Ah, Yessongs. Theat was right after Rick Wakeman put out his solo album The Six Wives of Henry VIII. IIRC, he played some excerpts. Very good album.

Liked Foghat too. Slow Ride got a lot of airplay that summer.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Alison Krauss & Union Station's live album is at the top of my list.

God bless you and them always!!!

I gotta post this up. From Yessongs. The craziest tripped out innovative creative ass- kicking guitar work evah.

A ******* religious experience...

Always liked the Outlaws. Saw them in Portland, OR back in the early 80's. They opened for Black Sabbath - kind of an odd pairing.

Double CD. You won't find a better live album.

I saw that tour also. Very odd paring. Alot of catcalls but they stuck it none the less.

Johnny Cash Live at Folsom

Frampton Comes Alive

Neil Diamond Hot August Night

I saw Frampton live in Hawaii.

He sucked.

Neil Diamond was the best concert I've ever seen.

Live at the Fillmore East - The Allman Brothers

Duane's guitar work on 'Whipping Post' is otherworldly. The tone he gets from that old 50 watt Marshall head is one that NO modern amp and/or distortion foot pedal can match...not even close.
