I am a fan of "old-school" live albums, where a band gets to expand their songs, with all of the mistakes, feedback, and unexpected things left in. That is the charm and beauty of live performances: the studio recordings are kind of a springboard for what can happen in live performances. In fact, many of the groups from back in the day were much better live than in the studio. Then there were the groups, like Creedence, that would play their studio cuts note for note in concert, without deviation. It was great to see them in concert, but there was nothing revelatory about their performances.

the 72 live album ( the only one ) isn't like that at all and includes a 10 min + version of keep on chooglin;
I think you mean the eagles , and then with the addition of joe walsh nothing was predictable !

I would certainly include Bob Seger's "Live Bullet" in any list of great live albums.

I only wish that on the CD versions of both "Live Bullet" and "Nine Tonight" had the full versions of "Let It Rock".
Peace,

Agree 100%. Later copies of Nine Tonight do have "Brave Strangers" though. Nice addition.

I didn't want to put the "lol" at the end of that statement, but maybe I should have. I wasn't adding it myself,but was joking with you because it is the fourth highest selling live album ever.Number 1 goes to Garth Brooks. So as usual it's hard to judge what the people want and even harder to judge tastes as they change.
