I'm pretty sure we ran this thread several years ago. But here goes. I'm submitting my list real quick, off the top of my head. I'm sure in a few days, I'll remember other live albums that I would've preferred to list here, if I only remembered today: 1. Get Yer Ya Ya's Out. Peak Rolling Stones at their performing best. Best Stones lineup, including, naturally, wunderkind Mick Taylor, the smooth blues guitar prodigy who broke through with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers as an 18 year old after Peter Green left to form the original Fleetwood Mac. There are many recent Stones concerts available for viewing and listening on the web these days. A few months ago, I decided to watch the one directed by Martin Scorsese. It was, I thought, unwatchable. I didn't make it through the second or third song. Just awful. Awful arrangements. Awful guitar playing. They're really old and it shows. If I didn't know the Stones legacy and was watching that band for the first time when I saw that video, I'd have no idea that I was watcihing Rock and Roll royalty and that the songs they were playing sound great in original studio format. 2. Cheap Thrills, Big Brother & the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin. Janis at her best. Big Brother was not nearly as polished as the seasoned studio musicians Janis would later dump Big Brother for. But they had the chemistry and the natural energy that wasn't forced or contrived. This is kind of a cheat as some of this album is comprised of studio cuts, including their huge hit, Piece of My Heart. But it's mostly a live album. 3. Hot Tuna. Acoustic blues played live by Jorma Kaukonen in some coffehouse. Intimate setting where, I think, you can hear the waitstaff delivering drinks to the customers. Check this one out. 4. Live at Leeds, The Who. Straight up Rock and Roll. Played loud. A live set in between Tommy and Who's Next. Which means that up to that point, The Who hadn't yet put out a bad album. They would. Many times over. 5. The Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East. The album that gave ABB national recognition. 5. That Talking Heads live album where David Byrne wears the big white suit.

Nevermind. What's far more interesting is that we share two entries. That's 40% of the list.



Here's an honorable mention or asterisk entry because it's not really a live album. But in 2003, Led Zeppelin released a multi disc DVD set which includes a 1970 concert from the Royal Albert Hall. It's awesome and must see if you're into LZ. It's on Youtube in its entirety. I think it's better than any LZ bootleg and easily better than their official live releases.

Yeah. I think that that's the best R&R/pop music DVD I own. Or ever owned. I bought it when it first came out and for the first few months that I owned it, I played the living hell out of it.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 20 2022 11:47 AM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without

I love live albums. I would almost rather listen to the live versions than the studio versions most of the time. I know. Ramones, "Loco Live" Paul McCartney, "Tripping the Live Fantastic" Rush, "R40 Live" Mat Kearney, ""Live at the Fillmore" Switchfoot "Live in Chicago - The Looking for America Tour."

Warren Zevon-- Stand in the Fire David Johnasen-- Live it Up! (I also listened to Dire Straits Alchemy a lot, and I liked it for bringing to life some of the too-boring-as-recorded songs they'd do ("Once Up A Time in the West" to me, represents one of the widest gaps between goodness as recorded/goodness on the live album scientists have ever discovered, I think.)

I agree, but the Lou Reed album has some impressive gappage too. I think Lou and perhaps his band may be at that perfect peak between "Cocaine is helping me" and "Cocaine is destroying me." The same may be true of that Zevon album. Hmmm... .

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2022 06:39 PM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without

Not necessarily a top five, but I'll mention it here since I doubt anyone else will: CHICAGO AT CARNEGIE HALL. Essentially Chicago I, II, & III recorded live and released on a, then unheard of for pop/rock, four LP set. It came at a time when folks were just starting to figure out how to produce clean live recordings (the venue likely helped there) and featured probably the band at their peak prior to their gradual slide into the land of Lite-FM.

I saw Joe Jackson ('82?) at one of those 'Concerts on the Pier' that they used to do back in the day over on the west side. He was touring behind the NIGHT AND DAY album and, at least on that leg of the tour, was using no guitars at all. Was still quite good, I just remember thinking that the whole concept of a rock group without a guitar was so unusual. Marshall Crenshaw opened. I actually went mostly to see Crenshaw but came away more impressed by Jackson's set.

Fman99 Jul 21 2022 05:54 AM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without

Like Edgy I could easily pick 5 different ones each day for a month and not run out of great live albums, but I'd start with these: Neil Young, Live at Massey Hall (1970) The Band, Rock of Ages (1972) Jethro Tull, Nothing is Easy (Live at the Isle of Wight Festival, 1970) Jimi Hendrix, Band of Gypsys (1970) Little Feat, Waiting for Columbus (1978)

I'd like to note that, while lovers of J. Giels Band's Full House are certainly correct in recognizing it as a career standout, what a terrible cover it has for a career-defining live album. Rather than tease the audience with a blurry, stage-lit photo that hints of the excitement of being at a show, the artwork looks like it's from a rushed-to-market album from an aging country star who didn't return any usable prints from his last photo shoot. It doesn't even actually depict a full house! https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/WEBP_402378-T2/images/I/41W95R1T8DL.jpg>

The K and Q are dad and mom and the J's are the kids. A full house? In 2022 they'd have to release alternative covers with K and K, Q and Q or even 2 and 2! (Duces being wild). The combos are endless.

Frayed Knot Dec 29 2022 04:52 PM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without

I'll put in an honorable mention for Elton's 11-17-70 (or, if you bought it overseas, 17-11-70) Never intended to even be an album, it was a live radio concert [WABC-FM just prior to it turning into WPLJ] that was rushed into production shortly afterward in an attempt to thwart the proliferation of bootlegged copies hitting the streets as well as to capitalize on Elton's early success and particularly to bring to the masses his live show appeal which had been displayed at his U.S. debut show at L.A,'s Troubador a few months earlier. Just a three piece band -- piano, bass, drums -- but still loud and raucous at times. Certainly not one of his biggest sellers, but his career was right on the verge of taking off so I'm sure those who did purchase it were a step ahead in seeing what was coming.

Springsteen joined in the night Patti Smith debuted "Because the Night." vtmet7 Jan 07 2023 04:41 PM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without Cool, surprised that it mentioned that the fire Marshall's shutdown the show early due to over crowding Fman99 Jan 07 2023 08:30 PM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without Setlist.fm is amazing. This is the set list from my all time favorite show ever attended, the Rolling Stones Steel Wheels tour, 10.26.89, where I sat in short left/center field at Shea, ten rows from the stage. kcmets Jan 07 2023 09:01 PM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without This is really really good... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5XQQQOrmd4 vtmet7 Jan 08 2023 08:53 AM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without Setlist.fm is amazing.

I can recall running back to the opening of Paint it Black. vtmet7 Jan 08 2023 10:39 AM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without Yeah I can't picture wanting to hear Keith sing. kcmets Jan 12 2023 01:37 PM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without Another honorable mention, good DVD too...

[YOUTUBE]bF9N3NJwi08[/YOUTUBE] It's a great album! I have some minor beefs. "After All" is an awful opener. I leave if off my playlist and start with "Mob Rules." And RJD could talk a little less - especially during the start of "Heaven and Hell." Fman99 Jan 13 2023 06:04 AM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without Man, that's super. Criminally underrated hard rock, the Dio/Iommi stuff. kcmets Jan 13 2023 06:37 AM Re: CPF's 5 LIVE Albums I Can't Live Without I suppose it is an odd song to open with, but they kicked ass with Mob Rules as the second song. Woke everyone up lol. I was at that show and yes Ronnie was a bit showy for the DVD I guess. I saw them again on the same tour at Mo- hegan Sun with Alice Cooper and Queensryche and he barely spoke. Truthfully, Alice shined that night over mighty 'Sabbath' but unfortunately didn't play this... [YOUTUBE]ZWPAUimefCg[/YOUTUBE]
