What's Your No 1 Live Album?

Just last week I found an original "Puppet" cover of this one on Track Records.  I was hoping to give it a clean later today and give it a listen.

Hard to choose a favourite live album, so many great ones, and many memorable bootlegs, especially from my school days, particularly from the Grateful Dead. 

Many of my favourites have already been mentioned, but one hasn't so far.  Like them or loathe them, Supertramp were at their peak when they played live in Paris in November 1979, and who could forget the brooding opening, the countdown and then explosive start to School. 

+1 (I think I unconsciously censored myself about this one...)

Cheers Richard for those recommendations.  Tom Petty and Clapton/Winwood duly ordered.

At the moment its got to be FINK....WHEELS TURN BENEATH MY FEET....can't stop listening to it!

This is ,, out of the two or three live albums i own  my favourite.

I do have  a loft full of bootleg live cassette tapes nearly all recorded badly on a sony walkman with the odd mixing desk recording. showing my age i admit.

Where did you find the Hendrix LP Richard? I hope you're not going to say it was one of those charity shop deals.

You're quite right, never heard this then bought it today (amongst others!) on a market stall for 2 quid.

Its a cracker.

Superb, definately one of my top 3 albums of 2012. 

Steve, it's on loan/approval along with some other LPs.  I'm going to give it a clean and play to see what condition it's in first.

Thanks, great album, arrived for me today following my order after reading this post.

To OP - fab thread!

For me it is this one. The band at the top of their powers:

As I once said to the percussionist on these recordings, at least one disc from this set has been in my CD player almost every day since I bought it.

For me it would have to be Pink Floyd's Deicate Sound Of Thunder because it features (to these ears), Dave Gilmour's finest live guitar solo during Comfortably Numb.

Probably because 99% of the people don't know and probably wouldn't care anyway.

Some favorites:

Art Ensemble of Chicago - The Complete Live in Japan

Chet Baker -The Last Great Concert

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Bonus live CD that came with Bestbof Compilation

Velvet Underground - The Quine Tapes

Bob Dylan - The Royal Albert Hall 1966

EST - Live in Hamburg

James Brown - Live at the Apollo

Neil Young - Massey Hall and Live Rust

Because it's a corker of an album that covers most of his career.

The best live album by a band that never hit the UK charts, Maze at their very best.

Remember going to see them in concert in (I think) the early 1980s at Hammy Odeon, Maze. Great live band with a big following.

Saw them on this tour. Great album.

Not sure if this album has already been mentioned. It is rather good!  It's a rare album that can cause people who love Sam's music to radically reassess a major artist. THIS IS SUCH AN ALBUM.
