If you like acoustic guitar; 'Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live' is a superb recording with some wonderful guitar playing.

Get a USA made copy for the best sound quality.

One of my fave live albums is

Genesis - Seconds Out (especially Supper's Ready & Firth of Fifth) - great live reproduction

Another old prog rock fave is Supertramp - Paris - Fool's Overture is great


Cheers

Pretenders - The Isle Of View

Played it last night - cracker!

Also - Live At Fillomre East - The Allman Brothers ('best live album ever made').

The 25th Anniversary release of "Frampton Comes Alive" is a superb live album. This is the ultimate version of the best selling live album ever.

The remastering for this release has put the sound quality light years ahead of the regular CD version. It's not cheap at around £30 but you do get a few additional tracks. Raw and bursting with energy and life, it's a total blast to listen to.

"Frampton Comes Alive 2" is also worth a listen. the tunes are not up the standard of the original but there's some good old fashioned rock music on this very underrated album (check out "Can't take that away").

Led Zepellin's "How the West Was Won" has to be mentioned simply for the awesome version of "Black Dog". The rest of the album is great too despite the overly long drum solo.

Another vote for Van the Man's Too late to stop now. Also try Steve Earle's Just an American Boy and Live at the Greek by Jimmy Page and the Black Crowes

Oh Aye, I forgot to mention Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy. A classic

And Live Dates by Wishbone Ash.

And Strangers in the Night by UFO.

My personal favorite live record is jazz: Gene Harris' Cat Alley. All the excitement of live performance, plus a sound so good you'd swear it's a studio album.

Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather have a live album out that rips. The do a pretty awesome cover of Miles' "All Blues". For any fan of jazz, rock and fusion I would consider this CD a must have.

I left as someone who never bought a single thing by him again. He treated the audience like something he'd trodden in and seemed to perform everything in as emotionless and perfunctory way as humanly possible.



On another post, I once referred to VM as self-indulgent, and several questioned what was meant by that comment. Well, what Nick said - precisely. The man is brillant at times, but even some of his studio stuff has the "cold" disinterested feel to it.It's more what you feel at times, than what you hear.

Back on topic, I love Dave Matthews Band recent live discs (2-audio,1-dvd) "The Gorge".
Nothing terribly profound, but the band can rock and the drummer, Carter Beauford, is phenomenal in my opinion.

And Sara McLachlan's (pop) live "Mirroball" is ssoooo tasty and some superlative examples of a band complimenting a featured performer with terrific playing but never intruding/overshadowing the star performer.

A virtuoso, absolutely.

In no particular order

Who - Live at Leeds (deluxe edition)
Zepp - How the west was won
Ani Di Franco - Living in Clip (utterly essential)
Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus
Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light

Colin Lorenson

I'm just feeling that way. I don't know why.

Has it been taken as read that 'PULSE' - Pink Floyd live will be in your collection? It is an absolute must have for any rock fan.

other than "stop making sense" the only other live album of note if you find it has to bethe band and "the last waltz". if it is on dvd then that is worth finding for a slice of classic mid seventies rock with more guests than I can remeber.
