Is Framptom Comes Alive the best selling live Album of all times?
No, Springsteen's Live 1975-1985 has sold more. Not sure what is the best selling of all time is.
in america its garth brooks live album. certified 22 million sold as a double album meaning its sold 11 million physical units. frampton comes alive is around 4 million physical and bruce springsteen is around 5 million physical but close to 15 million since its a trible disc set. album the eagles have a 4 million physical selling live album meaning close to 8 million. yes thats very confussing the way the RIAA counts sales of multi disc sets so in america the breakdown is:
1 garth brook 11 milliom
2 clapton unplugged 10 million
3 springsteen 5 million
4 eagles and frampton 4 million
thats actual amount of product units sold. so its not counting all the sales it gets by being multi disc.
edit: found a list for america and claptons unplugged is #2

Believe it or not, my favorite is REO Speedwagon "You Get What You Play For". Very hard rockin' album. Not the soft ballad drivel that the later REO became.

It's great, but it's a very particular period of The Who. Lots of guitar pyrotechnics and jamming. I like the deluxe version with more songs much better than the original release.
I agree the deluxe is awesome

Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes @ the Greek!
Hot Tuna - First Pull Up Then Pull Down
Johnny Cash - LIVE AT FOLSOM & SAN QUENTIN
The White Stripes - Under Great White Northern Lights
The Velvet Underground - The Quinn Tapes
And possibly in my opinion one of the greatest LIVE performances ever...
Big Brother & The Holding Co. performing Ball and Chain at Montery

A different kind of live album, but an awesome one is KINKS - TO THE BONE.
Kinks went into Konk stuios in mid 90s and laid down unbelievable versions of their greatist hits before a studio audience. Ray does some narration on the album and they also mix in some live large concert audio.
Extremely well done. Two CD set. It's very hard to find, now. If you can get your hands on it, do so!

Band of Gypsys stands alone as my all time favorite live album. I can't think of a comparable album where the all the songs are first released as live cuts. .
