Rock Action Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 OK, my 5, Zep excluded: Alice In Chains- Unplugged Black Crowes- Freak 'N Roll- Into The Fog Nirvana- Unplugged Rolling Stones- Brussels Affair, Definitive Edition* U2- Live In Sydney 1993 * This is a boot, but a fantastic one. Show is Brussels 10/17/73, recorded for KBFH. Superb sound. Second disc is parts of shows from Wembley 9/73. For Stones fans this is a must-have!

Z88 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I can think of: How The West was won (2003) - Led Zeppelin Made In Japan (1972) - Deep Purple Live at Wembley '86 (1992) - Queen Radio Bemba Sound System (2002) - Manu Chao Familiar to Millions (2002) - Oasis But i'm sure there are better ones.

Jahfin Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 All made before 1990 it appears. Hmmmm. It doesn't mean shit, just one person's opinion of their own favorite live albums. It in no way implies that no good live albums have been made since 1990. Here's five, I'd have no problem naming many more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonefreelee Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Others have already pointed out the following albums, all of which are among my favorite live albums.... Genesis - Genesis Live Led Zeppelin - How The West Was Won Thin Lizzy - Live & Dangerous Deep Purple - Made in Japan The Who - Live at Leeds The Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out Frank Zappa - You Can't Do This On Stage Anymore, vol. 2 Thought I'd add a few others: Queen - Live at Wembley. A great 1986 performance by the band, the original vinyl album was a single record, hence short, but did give a pretty good idea of the show. This is also worth getting on DVD, and there you have the complete performance. They start out playing One Vision and then Tie Your Mother Down, which are great show openers. 'I Want To Break Free' has a distorted, wah-wah-ified version of the original solo, which sounds hilarious. Siouxsie and the Banshees - Nocturne. This was recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in 1983, and has Robert Smith (more famous for his work in The Cure) playing guitars. Steady performances, and in some cases they better the studio versions ('Israel' for example). Genesis - Seconds Out Recorded in Paris in 1977, and released as a double album in 1978. This has Phil Collins doing the lead vocals, but occasionally getting behind the drumset as well - the main drummers are Chester Thompson and Bill Bruford. The performances are extraordinarily good, it must be said - even if I much prefer the Peter Gabriel line-up. Aerosmith - Live Bootleg This was also released in 1978, if I remember correctly, haven't heard it in ages. I've never been a fan of the band, but I miss this one - it's good, solid rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix - The Jimi Hendrix Concerts This is a collection from different performances, originally released as a double album in 1986 I think it was. I love the performances chosen here, some of them are among my all-time favorite live performances by any artist, such as e.g. 'Red House' (recorded at New York Pop, Randall's Island, July 17, 1970). Jimi Hendrix - Live at Winterland Still haven't found this one on CD - an awesome double album. Has great versions of The Cream's 'Sunshine of Your Love' and of 'Spanish Castle Magic' amongst other gems. I believe this came out on Rykodisc in late 80's...not sure if it has been re-issued/re-mastered since then or not... I would like to add one BIGGY that i cant believe no one has mentioned yet: JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE - MONTERY POP I believe this release just got a re-working...again...dont have the newest configuration yet, though...BUT....This is his seminal debut performance in US as JHE....

Jarlaxle 56 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Live on Two Legs- Pearl Jam Fucking fantastic album, Eddie's voice may not be at it's best, but the rest of the guys are top notch. My only complaint is the lack of Yellow Ledbetter. Unplugged- Nirvana Pure awesomeness And All That Could Have Been- NIN If at all possible, this music is even better when played live S&M- Metallica Can you say "Symphonic Thrash Metal"? Skin and Bones- Foo Fighters Amazingly good acoustic live album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Better than Get Yer Ya Ya's Out?? Do they do any Berry songs on it? Any Jones era stuff? 10 times better than Ya-Ya's. But no, no Berry, or anything older than Let It Bleed. This show will rip your fucking head off and shit down your neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelmon Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Legit live albums I assume, A lot of live albums are tinkered (overdubs) with eg Thin Lizzys live and dangerous, so these are the ones by my ears that are untinkered with Who Live at Leeds King Crimson USA Floyd UmmaGumma live album Neil Young Live Rust Free Live Hey Northern Simian !! That USA album WAS tinkered with. I'm listening to the show now...as it is UNTINKERED...truly ! From the DGM site...Fripp's own site, replendent with shows he's offered up himself...supplementing his 'bootleg' collector's series..... a bit of info on the show !! I'm listening to it right now ! King Crimson June 28, 1974 Casino Asbury Park, New Jersey Notes Ever wanted to know what happens after the edit on the storming Asbury Park or the fade out on that contemplative solo on Easy Money? Well now you can find out! Presented uncut for the very first time using unreleased mixes from the multitracks without Eddie Jobson overdubs (as on USA), the power of this gig is tangible. Despite the internal politics and tensions of the period, the band taps into a ferocious energy that never stops burning. Wetton is especially inventive, infusing the material with a brutal force. At the other end of the sonic spectrum Fripp’s sparkling clarity produces a consistently powerful performance that must rank amongst his very best. From the grumbling rasp of LTIApt2 through to the ecstatic demands for an encore, this is a classic Crimson show in every respect. Indispensable. Tracks Disc Number 1 1. Walk On 2. Larks' Tongues In Aspic Pt II 3. Lament 4. Exiles 5. Improv: Asbury Park 6. Easy Money 7. Fracture 8. Starless 9. 21st Century Schizoid Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 All made before 1990 it appears. Hmmmm. Well, I wasn't aware that this is where I had to prove that I have nothing especially against newer music. I certainly wasn't being exhaustive listing my likes in live albums. But I can also freely admit that I did follow up on things more thoroughly back in the day, and I guess my list partly reflects that. I believe it also reflects the fact that many of the latter day acts that I know and like either don't add very much to their studio versions live, or they don't put out live albums, or they only put out live DVDs, etc. Improvisation generally was a bigger part of the musical excitement of shows back in the day than it is now. Page & Plant's No Quarter I like very much, and often talked about it on the old forums. Pearl Jam's Live on Two Legs I also like - but actually prefer the MSG, NYC performances on the Live at the Garden DVD. The Red Hot Chili Peppers haven't put out a live album - but their Live at Sloan Castle DVD is much appreciated. The White Stripes haven't released a live album, but I very much like their Under Blackpool Lights DVD. Siouxsie's solo DVD, Dreamshow (from 2004) is also great. I think this at least gives some indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Screaming Gallery did mention a fabulous old vinyl album from the Monterey Festival; it has Otis Redding on one side of the record and Jimi Hendrix on the other. Hendrix's complete set was released later on vinyl, and of course there were VHS releases....and now a brand spanking new DVD, which I have. Hendrix put on a great, historical show there, oh yes. And Otis was simply amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of folks around here respect Ted's music- certainly I do, he's a hell of a guitarist and I love "Stranglehold". It's his politics that people round here can't stand, and that's not everyone either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Certainly cant argue with those two guys at the bottom. Cant get nothing past you can I? You have your opinions and I have mine. I will say that I like the sound of this band I heard but dont know if they are 90s or 00s. Im sure you will tell me they suck, but here goes-Goo Goo Dolls. But only heard a couple of songs. dont know many from the 90s Ill admit. But I know I hate Rap. Ground already well covered but you admitted yourself that you actually hadn't listened to much music from the 90s. Kinda hard to form an opinion when you won't even give it a chance. As for the Goo Goo Dolls, don't be so quick to judge. No, I'm not a huge fan of them but overall, they're not too bad. I much prefer the Replacements who they largely styled themselves after. I believe they were first formed in the 80s by the way (both the Goos and the Mats). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonefreelee Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I agree with you totally. Was about to say it myself. Love Stranglehold too. But around here he has also made a bad name for himself even with his old fans. Musicians should stay out of the poitical arena and gun law arguments. i couldn't agree more and really (as i grew older) started to learn where ted was from, so to speak, never liked him or bought any of his albums other than an amboy dukes album...when i first heard his "comments" aobut jimi hendrix, that was the last straw for me...Ted, you couldn't hold a fricking candle to Jimi Hendrix...

jimmie ray Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 New to the forum, great albums mentioned - haven't seen Hot F-ing Tuna mentioned yet, so: Hot Tuna - "Hot Tuna" (1970) their first album, all acoustic blues - just 2 guys + harmonica. Hot Tuna - "First Pull Up, then Pull Down" (1971) electric blues, old school with Papa John Screach. Hot Tuna - "Double Dose" (1978) electric / acoustic songs. They still play together and do sets like this. Jefferson Airplane - "Bless it's Pointed Little Head" (1969) while Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady were still in the group. Psychedelic, with powerful bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
