booradley · 01-19-2013, 02:00 PM

Frampton, Exit Stage Left, Nirvana Unplugged, The Who Live at Leeds, and while its more than one album, I have always loved Springsteen's Live boxset.

I love Simon and Garfunkel, wore out one of their Greatest Hits LP when I was younger, but I remember catching this concert on TV and going "man do they STINK". That was my first introduction to how much work gets done in the studio cleaning up the songs.

Ryan S · 01-19-2013, 06:40 PM

The Who - Live at Leeds

Look for the Deluxe edition which gives you the full show rather than the 6 tracks from the original album, and Tommy on the second disk.

boberot · 01-19-2013, 06:53 PM

Another vote for The Grateful Dead's Europe 72
Descendents - Liveage

BYU 14 · 01-19-2013, 07:07 PM

Cheap Trick - Live at Budokan / Silver
Queen - Live Killers
Rush - All the World's a Stage
Ramones - Greatest Hits live

Maple Leafs · 01-19-2013, 07:16 PM

The Guns N Roses live double album is just great.

Although it did blow my mind to find out that a.) Axl went back in the studio and re-recorded some of the vocals, and b.) this apparently is pretty common for "live" albums.

britrock88 · 01-19-2013, 07:40 PM

"Frampton Comes Alive!" -- the first to pop into my head
"The Last Waltz" -- The Band's farewell concert-turned-movie-turned-album
"Made in Japan" -- Deep Purple rocking out
"At Fillmore East" -- Allman Brothers flying high

sabotai · 01-19-2013, 07:41 PM

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Live
AC/DC - Live
The Doors - Bright Midnight Live in America

Triumph - Stages

Senator · 01-19-2013, 09:19 PM

SRV - Live at the El Mocambo. Originally a video, you can get it in audio. His peak.

For anyone who likes some modern bluegrass/folk, I'd highly recommend Alison Krauss and Union Station "Live". She is one of the best live singers I've ever heard.

QuikSand · 01-20-2013, 08:03 AM

Johnny Cash, Live at Folsom Prison
Lou Reed, Rock and Roll Animal
Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense
Peter Gabriel, Plays Live

my personal favorites, I think - though Frampton Comes Alive is the "greatest."

She is something else.

kurtism · 01-20-2013, 08:12 AM

Martin Sexton, Live Wide Open - one man with a guitar, effects pedals, a fantastic voice, and the help of a skilled drummer. For my money, the best representation of a supremely talented man's work.

Scarecrow · 01-20-2013, 08:26 AM

My Mt. Rushmore of Live albums

Simon & Garfunkle - Concert at Central Park
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Jimi Hendrix - Live at Monterey
Tesla - Five Man Acoustical Jam

(cartman, you missed the best unplugged album)

booradley · 01-20-2013, 08:57 AM

One album I "discovered" yesterday was The Velvet Underground - Live at Max's Kansas City. It's basically bootleg stuff - a guy just set his tape recorder on his table - but it really captures the atmosphere of what it would have been like to be there. That band was excellent.

Also concur with Jimi Hendrix at Monterey. Oh, and the Scorpions. Oh, and Nirvana. Oh and [blah, blah, blah] ... I will now check out Allison Krauss.

corbes · 01-20-2013, 10:02 PM

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee Live at Sugar Hill
Anything you can find by Mississippi John Hurt (many of his recordings were live)
