Best Live Albums

In my haste I forgot to mention Rammstein live aus Berlin. The Paris show might be better, but I've played the first one almost as much as Maiden.

Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert

Iron Maiden - Live After Death

This is the answer. The best version of a lot of their best songs played at their peak

[MiketheSnow]

Whitesnake - Live In The Heart of The City
Queen - Live Killers

Neil Diamond Hot August Night

[Victor Meldrew]

Seconds Out by Genesis.

Songs have a different mood from the studio versions but still sound great. Phil Collins' vocals are teriffic. Their live albums from the early '90's are also pretty damn good.

No mention of Frampton comes Alive yet.

Very aptly named album. He came alive with that record and then died again.

There weren’t many record collections in the seventies without it though.

Under One Roof- Hunters & Collectors.

Not my thing but you’re right. It was THE album for a while.

The Delicate Sound of Thunder - Pink Floyd.

Alice in chains MTV unplugged.

That's peak grunge

There are very few bigger AIC fans than me … but I can’t upvote this. It’s a nice album, but none of the songs sound better than the originals.

Which surely must be a key concept.

@majorrage for me, knowing the back story, it really sounds like a man who knows he is killing himself but knows he is powerless to stop himself and has given up. Beautiful but terrible.

Waiting for Colombus - Little Feat

Get Your Ya Ya's Out - Rolling Stones

Stiff Live Stiffs - the first album

Neil Young - Live Rust

Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison

Velvet Underground - Live at Max's Kansas City

Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles

[Crucial]

@dogmeat

Live Stiffs Live?

There's a doco floating around about the tour this was created during. Good watch even if it is just the album songs mixed with a few behind the scenes shots.

Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll & Chaos

[dogmeat]

@crucial That's the one.

I played that to death when it came out

Ian Dury was a fucking legend. Great pop album (considering it was promoted as punk). Hilarious that it opens with a call to the punters to leave the bar

[MN5]

Johnny Winter And….Live.

I’ll be astonished if anyone on here knows this one but he was another that the old man thrashed.

Awesome blues singer and slide guitarist who should by rights be much better known than he was.

[dogmeat]

@mn5 be astonished

I'm sure plenty know him and his younger brother Edgar (also an albino)

Here they are together

Massive, MASSIVE fan of him, less so Edgar.

Perhaps his looks prevented him from being a the star he shoulda been ? I mean he could sing and play as well as anyone. Awesome gravelly blues voice and his slide work was off the charts.

I always get a blank look when I bring him up to people as no one knows who he is. I need better mates.

Viva - Roxy Music Not many live glam rock albums but this has to be the best

Similar era - similar personnel - very different sound

801 Live

Can't see many of you except maybe @Tim going for this
