Favorite live albums

[Incredulity 11734]

The Black Crowes thread got me downloading some of their music on itunes.  That got me to some of their live stuff which I have been really enjoying.

 

Looking for recommendations.

Rush - Exit Stage Left is one of my favorites. I had it on vinyl, but when I finally bought a CD player, it's the first CD I ever purchased.

Neil's Unplugged is fantastic.

Petty & The Heartbreakers Live Anthology

Dylan & The Band Rolling Thunder Revue

I almost put this in the forgotten albums thread.

 

But this is probably my favorite and would fit well into the OP's Black Crowes rotation

this is possibly the most offensive post i've ever seen.

Todd Snider's "Near Truths and Hotel Rooms" is a great record.  Way better than any single studio record he's made, IMO.  His personality comes out a lot more, and the in-between-song stories are entertaining as hell.

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is a great live album.  And dare I say, the only Stones live album worth a damn.

I can't find the whole thing, but Henrix's set at Monterey is killer:

And this is a true fav.  I never get tired of listening to it:

 

[DeathTongue 88]

Not much of a live album fan, but Ian Moore: Live from Austin is my favorite for this song alone.

 

[Jerry Callo 8851]

[Steel Shank 9440]

Despite @Chad Fuck feeling to the contrary, this is the Stones' best live album (Paris and the El Mocombo Club):

[Goo Punch 4275]

My favorite country album from its time:

Song For You-

Proud Souls-

Somewhere Down In Texas-

Ya-Ya's is so great. The guitar tone on that album is fantastic.

[Carl Spackler 3561]

I love Cheap Trick, so "At Budokan" is the correct response.  However, jimmyjazz already listed it, so I'll mention two other CT live albums, "Music for Hangovers" and "Silver," both of which are worthy, esp. the former.

I love "How the West Was Won", but Page did go back and overdub some of the guitars to cover some of his mistakes.

That's pretty common in "live" albums, actually.  For example, it's a running joke that Live and Dangerous is part studio album due to all the overdubs.

This is from their 89-90 tours and is outstanding. Branford Marsalis makes an appearance on a couple of the songs as well.

I should probably revisit that record.

 

Also... Jackson Browne.  Hell, yes.  Such a musical masterpiece and a snapshot in time.  

[Paul Wesley 3303]

Maybe the record that had the biggest influence on me as a little kid was The Secret Policeman's Other Ball.  Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, etc.... mostly doing stripped-down versions of their songs.  As a kid, listening to album rock on FM radio, there just wasn't any forum where I heard rock songs presented that way.  It made a huge impression on me.  I think I wore our two or three cassettes before buying it on CD as an adult.

But that's a debate for another thread.

That was recorded with my gear.  (I didn't work on it, though.)

Until this post, I just assumed you dipshits didn’t consider this to be a live album.

It so goddamn good. Have long had it digitally but found it on vinyl at an estate sale in my neighborhood a few weeks back for $4. Didn't waste a second picking it up. In retrospect, I should've grabbed the David Allen Coe that was there too for $4 because I didn't recognize it. No telling if it might've been worth something.

[ohchaucer 1443]

Knopfler and Emmylou (two of my all time favorite artists to begin with) - All the Roadrunning

Patty Griffin - A Kiss in Time (her performance of Nobody Crying on that one is perfection).

[hullabelew 3724]

Lots of good ones above.  Tom Waits' "Nighthawks At The Diner".  You can smell the cigarettes and scotch when you listen to it.
