Greatest Live Album (CD) of All Time

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

What is the greatest rock and roll live album of all-time? I added the greatest albums I could think of. If I missed a couple of major ones - post your choice and if a couple of people agree I'll add them to the poll as Other 1,2 or 3.

My sentimental vote goes to Fleetwood Mac's The Dance.

 

[The Good Doctor]

Throwing Copper

 

[Captain_Kirk]

I'm sure I'll be in the minority on this one, but I have never heard a better live album than 'Strangers in the Night' by UFO.

 

[Bob Cook]

Throwing Copper

Boo!

Anyway, Motorhead's "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" and Neil Young and Crazy Horse's "Live Rust" should be on the list. I'll even throw in a vote for Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians' "Gotta Let This Hen Out!!" Also, I'm stunned no one has screamed for one of Kiss' "Alive!" albums, although even by the usual studio cleanup standards, those albums were about as live as a Milli Vanilli show.

Do we have a second for Fleetwood Mac's The Dance?

Does The Last Waltz classify as a movie soundtrack or a live album?

Nirvana Unplugged and Live from New York. Lock it up.

I voted for The Who, and will nominate Pearl Jam's Live On Two Legs, though it isn't a recording of one concert.

 

[Captain_Kirk]

The Dance is certainly list worthy.

And The Last Waltz qualifies for this discussion in my book.

 

[Freelance Hack]

Eagles Live?

Clapton's 24 Nights?

I would give a big no vote there. Good CD, I own it, but not the best.

Here's the point and here's Mustang.

Stones, Get Yer Ya Ya's Out. One of my faves. Was the first tour with Mick Taylor, loved him and Keith rockin it together.

Marley Live from London also always ranked up there for me.

 

[cranberry]

I voted for Live at Leeds but, boy, it was difficult not clicking on the Allman Brothers Fillmore East or The Last Waltz.

Confession: I went to see Cheap Trick four times back in the day.

 

[finishthehat]

I'm very, very alone on this, but I'll go with Van Morrison's "It's Too Late To Stop Now."

 

[cranberry]

The Song Remains the Same probably deserves a little consideration, too, and I played the hell out of Foghat Live.

 

[Big Circus]

Europe '72 would be my pick. And for the record, Other 5 ****s all over Other 4.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Cheap Trick Live at Budokan and Frampton Comes Alive were the first that jumped to mind.

 

[imjustagirl]

Jay-Z Unplugged and Manilow 2 Nights Live.
