Good Live Album

[smee]

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Bob Marley and the Wailers - Live! Great music and a fantastic sounding album! Another of my favourites is Simple Minds - Live in the city of light, 80's stadium rock-tastic!

 

[cheviot]

Sam Cooke - Live at te Harlem Square

 

[PigletsDad]

Its too late to stop now - Van Morrison

Magnificent performances and a lovely, warm, clear recording.

I challenge anybody not sing along with the last side!

 

[Joe Hutch]

Neil Young/Crazy Horse: Weld.

Neil Young/Crazy Horse: Weld.

Yup, that's a good one. I never got the Arc version, anyone care to comment?

Yup, that's a good one. I never got the Arc version, anyone care to comment?

Noise, feedback, shouting. I'm all for a bit of this, but not to the exclusion of everything musical. I have just about everything the man's done but this is one I don't come back to.

Hi Nick, I was aware that a goodly amount of feedback was involved, but not much else. I only have (had?) this album on that strange format - pre-recorded cassette - and was considering replacing it. I probably won't bother with Arc / Weld. Ta.

The Beta Band, live cd with the best of album, Last gig of their farewell tour, sounds great, different takes on a couple of old classics. One of the best bands for sometime, shame they are no more.

Also like the The Who live at Leeds, remastered version though!

 

[trevor w]

Just got The Who live at Leeds - Fantastic sounding live album considering it was recorded 36 years ago. Makes you wonder how some of the stuff currently recorded can sound so crap.

 

[Cav]

Christy Moore - Live at the Point

 

[antony1829]

For me the following:-

Pink Floyd - The Wall Live
Supertramp - Paris (remastered)
Fleetwood Mac - Live
Navana - Unplugged
Neil Young - Unplugged
Led Zeppelin - Un Leaded
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over

 

[iTz]

Made in Japan, but be aware - the first cd's that came out are awfull.

Get the remaster or the old purple-records vinyl.
Mine I got as birthday present on my 13:th birthday (1979) and it still sounds wonderfull.

 

[Tassie]

Of those not so far mentioned I would suggest Seconds Out/Genesis and Before the Flood/Dylan The Band

 

[Gunnar]

Marley live, Live at leeds, rock´n roll animal, get yer ya ya´s out, are classics to me. No quarter has a magnificent Kashmir. But may I add these two:

Joni Mitchell-mile of aisles

Bowie-Santa Monica

Bowie at the BEEB- Limited edition wich includes extra disc featuring Bowie at the BBC radio Theatre June 27, 2000. And it is that show that is not to be missed.

 

[tommy1]

Anyone out there like Gomez-Way out west? Gets my vote!

 

[palpnorte]

Madonna's first live album(!) came out yesterday(!), so am waiting by the letterbox(!!)

I picked up a record at a sale by 'Spooky Tooth' with stuff recorded for the BBC show 'Top Gear' around 1968 (that means it's live, isn't it?). The sound is like someone recorded it of a cheap transistor radio on to a tape recorder with a severely worn recording head, but the music and the playing is extremely good!

Just remembered Steve Hillage, "Live Herald". ...Edit: Just bought it:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000025JRD/026-0756743-9779622

Got a lot of stick from 'er indoors for this. You had to be there I suppose

I still don't mind it, though it does seem to drag a bit. I must be missing something

 

[RJohan]

Opening up this again.

The 'Live at Filmore West' from 1971 with Aretha Franklin has recently been 'remastered' with an extra CD. Excellent in every way, soul music can probably not be much better than this!
