__________________________

<Cream Filmore'68>

This is a great record (Disc 2 of Wheels Of Fire, right?). The funny thing is that the record is named "Live At The Fillmore", but only "Toad" (the drum solo-song) is recorded there. The rest is recorded at "Winterland".

Thanks DP, I knew it wasn't correct, I downloaded Filmore concert but I couldn't find anything on the net about this, so it's winterland, is the year correct '68 ?

Who chose the Leonard Cohen? Interesting choice, haven't heard it. Love Cohen, but what does/did he cound like in concert?

The Stones should take a page out of Springsteen's book - release the Archives! Don't pull a Neil Young on us!

He's got 3 live albums...."Live Songs" "Leonard Cohen Live In Concert" and "Field Commander Cohen". The last one there, is the only one that really does it for me. From 1979 with a magnicent, magnificent band to back him up. It's just something everyone that likes Cohen should have....

David Bowie - David Live
Nirvana - Unplugged (even if i'm not a fan of the band)





A funnt thing is that every album mentioned in this thread has been released in the 60's or 70's.

Zeppelin - How The West Was Won
Get Your Ya Yas Out/Love You Live
Neil Young - Live Rust
Band Of Gypsies
Allman Bros. - Live At Ludlowe Garage, like it better than the Filmore album
Grateful Dead - One From the Vault

more than 5 but couldn't leave any of those out.

There is a new Blind Melon live cd that just came out that is great. Its from a show about 2 weeks before Shannon Hoon died. That band was destined for greatness, what a shame.

yayas
live rust
the last waltz
rank-(smiths)
yessongs (for sheer originality, chops, and daring, despite the hi-pitched vocals)

For me, there are only three live albums in the premier divison:
Get Yer Ya-Yas Out
Live at Leeds
Made in Japan

Get Yer Ya-Yas Out
Kicking Television - Wilco
Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads
The Last Waltz - The Band & Friends

1. Ya Ya's
2. Hampton, VA 1981
