Hot dog! I didn't know it'd been re-released.

I can finally progress beyond those burns a mutual friend sent me.

Don't get me wrong, the copies are great, but I've always liked having the real thing.

Sticking with the premise that Zeppelin is a given.

I never had a lot of live releases, but these are ones I had that were good:

Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo

Kiss - Alive

Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From The Road

Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive

Aerosmith - Live Bootleg

Scorpions - World Wide Live

My favorites:

Free - "Live!"

The Black Keys - "Live In Austin, TX"...well, I think it used to be for sale somewhere :huh:

Shorter than anyone's list :lol:...but yeah, they're the only bands I love live anyways. I don't have Nirvana's "Unplugged In New York", but what I've heard from it was good.
