Great Live Albums

[Babyquack]

I'm a big fan of live albums and seeing as Christmas is coming up, I'd like to treat myself to one or two - anyone have any recommendations?

[thetime]

Sigur ros - inni

Depeche mode - 101

Bjork - live box set

[kaosmark2]

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (fractionally prefer it to Name of This Band)

Daft Punk Alive 2007

NIN - And All That Could Have Been

The Cure @ Bestival

I'll second Bjork's live album series as well. I've only got the Debut and Post live tour ones, but they're excellent. Unlike when I actually saw her...

Don't rate Inni myself.

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sounds of Thunder

Guns n Roses - Live Era

Agree with the Depeche Mode & Talking Heads suggestions above. As for the Cure I'd opt for Entreat

I'd add

U2- Live Under a Blood Red Sky

Love- Forever Changes Concert

[Ed209]

Pink floyd - is there anybody out there? The wall live

Jimi Hendrix - live at Woodstock

Led zeppelin - how the west was won

Nirvana - on the muddy banks

[abdoujaparov]

Ramones - Its Alive

The Who - Live at Leeds

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live Rust

Neil Young - Time Fades Away (although good luck finding a copy - never released on CD, so you'd have to go for a secondhand vinyl copy)

Allman Brothers - Live at Filmore East

Bob Marley - Babylon by Bus

I dare you...

Jerry Lee Lewis Live at The Star Club Hamburg (1964).

Most exciting album I've ever bought. Rolling Stone's review. "its not an album, its a crime scene".

The band just can't keep up with him.

BB King Live at The Regal is great.

Also, Dave Brubeck at Carnegie Hall is worth a butchers if you're into some smooth piano jazz.

Jerry Lee Lewis Live at The Star Club Hamburg (1964).

[The Nal]

Oh speaking of James Brown. Love Power Peace: Live at the Olympia Paris is essential.

[Ed209]

some of the unplugged series are quite good as well. Nirvana's, obviously. Quite like Clapton's as well.

(I know JB's Live at the Apollo is supposed to be a classic, never got into it though, might give it another listen)

Steve Hillage - Live Herald.

[metallimuse]

I always liked Metallica's 'S&M'.
