Excellent!

did someone mention jerry lee @ the star club in Germany? coz thatll eat ur face off. honorable mention small faces brilliant steve marriotts crushing live work w humble pie. he dont need no doctor. rest in peace steve and ronnie lane. two of the very most precious UK rock pioneers.

All of the albums noted previously are definitive - no doubt about that..classics even... But the album I choose is not at all in the same class necessarily - but presonally - my fav has to be 'Still Life' -- I was 16, hanging out, a summer of your best buddies, meeting girls living in the Courts, some smoke, some drinking, long endles summer eveningswith nothing to do but hang with your crowd....life hadn't yet kicked you in the face...throwing in the casette tape ...and cranking the volume -- "..thank-you very, very much - and ladies and gentlemen - would you welcome please, the Rolling Stones....."

"..maybe your friends say...."

The Stockholm Concerts with Chet Baker & Stan Getz

The UFO record is cool, but I hate to tell you most of it was recorded in the studio. I will look out for that Bob Mould record mentioned, I think I saw that tour when he played in London with Mercury Rev, a classic show.

Rock & Rios..................Miguel Rios

not the greatest ever but CACTUS has a new live album out of 70's stuff

The Rolling Stones: Love You Live

Live at Leeds.....Hands down!!!

Other than Stones, the live albums I've heard the most over the years are

Made in Japan..Deep Purple
Rockin' the Fillmore...Humble Pie

And I'm not the biggest fan of any of those bands but those two live albums are just great.

Also loved Yessongs.

Allman Brothers followed closely by GYYYO

This question has been asked a few times previously. Here's my list for right now:

Ya Ya's
Purple - Made In Japan
AC/DC - If You Want Blood
Cheap Trick - At Budokan
KISS Alive, Alive 2
Sam Cooke - Harlem Square

INXS - "Live Baby Live" a true live release, sounds like you are in the middle of the stadium.

how many of those are really live though? the best thing about KISS ALIVE 2, paul stanley's backing vocals and lead vocals at the same time. the magic of the studio

I love The J. Geils Band - Full House.

I used to play Foghat Live constantly, as well.

also: Ya-Yas, Who Live at Leeds, Ramones It's Alive, Dylan '66

Forgot about "Live Herald" by Steve Hillage - fantastic stuff

Celine dion in Vegas

Dylan's Bootleg series, 75, hands down. Except for Ya Yas of course.

Celine.

Plus Carpenters BEFORE Karen died

Song Remains the Same

Room Full of Blues Live a Lupo's Hearbreak Hotel.
The crowd sounds like there all bombed, but what a
sound.The band was on fire!

Somebody here mentioned Velvet Underground the Quine Tapes.
I always disliked live recordings by the velvets, but this one is something different.
If you dislike 1969 and Max's kansas city, try the Quine tapes.
Excellent. Not the greatest live album of all time, but quite excellent.

Here's a couple of my faves that I don't think have been mentioned yet:





GYYO is my favorite, Live at Leeds my 2nd favorite. Hendrix at Berkeley probably my third...

...some other personal favorites are the Ventures 'Live in Japan '65', Husker Du 'the Living End', Magic Sam 'Live At Ann Arbor & In Chicago'...
