Best live album ever recorded.

[EI_Owen]

Live Lp’s can sometimes disappoint, but I’m currently re listening to Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads and a lot of the live versions of songs are better than the original studio versions.

What’s your favourite live album?

 

[El Guapo]

Might not be the best ever recorded but my two favourites are:

The Cure in Orange
Motörhead - Boneshaker 25 & Alive

Stop Making Sense is superb. The movie is my favourite one of a live show. It's a shame that the initial release of the album was just as a single album rather than a double.

My favourite live album I'm not sure of. It'd have to be one of the well known doubles from the 70s like UFO Strangers in the Night or one of stacks of Zappa releases.

Nirvana at Reading is a good one.

 

[NYboro]

I always liked Space Ritual Alive in Liverpool and London.

 

[WeeGord]

Not really a live album per se, but Nirvana Unplugged was Immense.

 

[Konrad_the_Barbarian]

UFO - Strangers in the Night
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Allman Brothers - ..at Filmore East
David Gilmore - Live in Gdansk

all depends on what your into though

Roxy Music’s first live album, “Viva!”. Recorded at Glasgow Apollo (best live venue I ever went to) in 1973, Newcastle City Hall in 1974 and Wembley in 1975. Every band member playing and performing at their brilliant very best.

Still enjoy Billy Braggs Peel Session album.

Yeah the movie is brilliant, I saw it at a midnight showing in a cinema back in the 80’s, brilliant night out.

Zappa was pretty prolific in releasing live albums, second only to the grateful dead.

Obviously, the answer is Space Ritual followed closely by The Ramones "It's Alive".

 

[asredastheycome]

Humble Pie Rockin The Fillmore
Country Joe Incredibly Live think that's title
Neil Young Live Rust
CSN&Y 4 Way Street

 

[swordtrombonefish]

Hmmm - I have a few favourites

Honourable mention: Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Runner up: Ramones - It's alive
Winner: Allman Brothers Band - At Filmore East

My uncle was ahuge fan of Allman Brothers and played them a lot (we spent quite a bit of time at my Grandmothers place. It stuck with me and I still play it - pretty regularly.

It's good to see some mentions of Hawkwind on FMTTM

It's good to see some mentions of Hawkwind on FMTTM

Saw them at the Town Hall in 1972, the tour that was recorded on.

So many to choose from
An emotional shout for Free Live
Pleased Live and Dangerous made an earlier list
But
Johnny Cash at St Quentin was brilliant for many reasons
