LOL Oddbeat - I had forgotten about that one. You are right. "She just like a penguin in bondage.." I thought that was a good Zappa band.
I also like the album of Dyaln and the Band. Is it "Before the Flood". A double live.
How about "Viva Roxy"? Or "Genesis Live"? Keep in mind this is a different band than the Collins fronted Genesis. With Gabriel on vox and Collins on drums, Hackett on guitar this is one of my alltime fave bands.
"Cheap Thrills" Janis Joplin.
Anyone notice that all good Live albums are old? They do not make good livealbums anymore.

"Cheap Thrills" Janis Joplin.
Thanx, ChelseaD; you´re always a quick back-up...
This time in fact within a minute. Great!
... Too less talk bout Janis at this site.

Right, ChelseaD, "Genesis Live" is Gabriel/Hacket-era Genesis in an intimate venue with a virile, enthusiastic hard-core audience... Brutal, live to the bone sound, I love it!
The front cover always got me off too! I have the original Charisma UK album, which sounds really hot!

Don't mean to be posting so often in this thread but there are so many good ideas. "30 seconds"..Man! As much as I LOATHE Grace Slick and that travesty that the Airplane became, at this point in time they put out some great sounds. Whenever Jorma K. and Jack Casady would take over the stage they would rock. The jam on "Feels So Good" made me buy the album. I wasa growing up in Italy, and as a little kid at nighht they had radio shows with rockmusic. That is wher I got my early education in rck. Too bad that back then the DJs would always talk on top of the music. But I got to find out about the Airplane, Sweet, Uriah Heep, King Crimson, PFM and much Zappa from that radio station.

It's probably just my nostalgia talking, but Frampton Comes Alive STILL sounds remarkably fresh to me. He might be the only artist in history where the definitive versions of his songs are the live versions. When I was in high school, you HAD to own this album. They actually issued you a copy, along with your gym shorts.

Hi Sonic Dreamer,

Sinatra Live at the Sands with Count Basie is Sinatras very best. Stupendous album and a perfect snapshot of "rat pack history".

I know it is, but I could just never get into Monk when he was "leading the show"... he just "tinkles" the ivories and it seems to go nowhere for me. Never cared for his "landmark" CD's, Brilliant Corners, etc.

With Coltrane he HAD to play serious. Trane wouldn't let him mess around... that's why Live at the 5 Spot is such a great CD, IMO.

well he messes around plenty in his Prestige sessions with Miles (who usually didn't put up with much of that either) - I always found it rather amusing - nothing wrong with that, IMO.

Agreed... and a fair number of people think he was a "relentless self-promoter", promoting that "unpredictable" image.

Whichever, I just never found it that listenable... BUT Live at the Five Spot with Coltrane is just a great CD... even for a "monk detractor" like me, it's a great album.
