The Greatest "LIVE" album.

[Lister]

Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat - Yeah it's mostly overdubbed, but it's still a great "live" album. Fat Man In The Bathtub is stunning and Mick Taylor gives a cameo on A Apolitical Blues.

Live Bullet - Sure Nine Tonight has the "hits" but Live Bullet has a better vibe IMHO. BTW, don't even think about playing Travelin' Man without Beautiful Loser! Oh yeah, Turn the Page, FTW.

Edited to add:
SRV Live from Austin Texas. It's his combined 1983 and 1989 apperances from Austin City Limits TV show and what a difference 6 years made. That '89 show gave us a good look at a clean and healthy Stevie Ray and you could tell he was in a great place physically and mentally. All of the '89 stuff is fabulous, but the version of Leave My Girl Alone is worth the price of admission all by itself.
So freaking mean...

 

[Steve's addiction]

Ten Years After live in Frankfurt

 

[Rider1260]

Foghat-Live There is so much awesome slide playing by Rod Price. Not the best editing, though.

Forgot this one also a fav of mine !!!
Lots of great live albums in the 70s - 80s

I was at that last show at Alpine Valley. Lucky enough to see him 6 times. What a loss.

Frampton Comes Alive and Kiss Alive for the tie. Just what I was listening to at the time I started learning guitar.

 

[Birdsofprey]

Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous featuring wait........bluesy Huey Lewis on harp, great songs twin leads and Phil.

 

[IKnowALittle]

Eagles ... Farewell Tour 1 ... Melbourne.

Honourable Mentions;

and this one in it's totality was kinda important ...

 

[Peet]

I always liked Allman Bro's live at Fillmore East

Same here! I also liked Live/Dead and Stop Making Sense

 

[Dirty_Boogie]

I'd go with Iron Maiden's "Live After Death".

And I'd second Sergio's choice of Bob Marley and the Wailers' "Babylon by Bus"

I have to go with Ozzy Osbourne Randy Rhoards Tribute. There are 2 factors in what determines a great live album for me 1) Overall energy of the performance 2) Does it improve on the studio songs? Tribute nails both of these. Randy Rhoads wizardry is on display throughout the recording with elaborate and complex fills plus flawless virtuoso playing overall. The renditions of the Sabbath tunes Iron Man, Children of the Grave, and Paranoid are the best you'll ever hear, especially the new solo that Randy wrote for Children of the Grave which is a masterpiece in itself.

Stevie Wonder - Live at Last. Yeah I know it’s recent-ish, but who else gigs with their daughter?!

Need to include David Bowie live at the Tower ( Philadelphia ).

 

[Eddie kim]

Gary Moore’s Blues Alive VHS and CD are crazy good as is SRV Live at The El Macombo. Also shout out to Kiss Alive 2. I was like fifteen when it came out and it was a huge influence.

I’m with this guy!
