theredtamasrule Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Another thread reminded me of this one: Frank Zappa's "Make A Jazz Noise Here". Phenomenal in nearly every aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory live was something else.

Although I have to say How the West Was Won definitely sounds better than The Song Remains The Same. It's a great film but it's impossible for me to listen to it as an audio.

ReRushed Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thinking this over I realized I'm not a big fan of live albums. Anyway, here are my non-Rush favs: Cheap Trick At Budokan Kiss Alive! The Who Live at Leeds Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians - Gotta Let This Hen Out! That's about it. Also, I'm not that much of a fan of Rush's live albums either. All the World's a Stage is the only one I listen to regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilPeartFan2112 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The Police - Certifiable: Stew, Andy and Sting sound even better 25 years later. Copeland's drumming hasn't lost a bit of its pulse pounding intensity, Summers adds shredding solos that were never heard on any Police studio recording, and Sting's voice still sounds fresh. This set of classics captures one of their tightest performances on the reunion tour. Nirvana - Unplugged in New York: An album as haunting as it is beautiful, this acoustic set proves that the band was capable of delving deeper than their grunge roots. Every song works perfectly as an acoustic arrangement, and some even surpass the originals; "About a Girl" and The Meat Puppets "Oh, Me" serve as prime examples. Simply put, one of the greatest live albums of all time. Jeff Buckley - Mystery White Boy: I never thought Buckley's singing could sound better than it does on Grace, but this collection of live performances perfectly displays both the beauty and power behind one of rock's greatest voices. The Who - Live at Leeds: A barrage of violent, heavy, and raw rock and roll. Four men with polar personalities teetering on the edge of chaos on stage but holding it together to deliver what is considered to be the greatest live record of all time, and rightfully so. Bob Dylan - The Royal Albert Hall Concert: This show captures Dylan at the peak of his career with some of his most popular material from the mid sixties. Also, the electric set serves as a document of rock history. Neil Diamond - Hot August Night: A master performer, this setlist loaded with hits perfectly displays why he is considered to be one of the greatest showmen of all time. The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East: Phenomenal musicianship and several twenty minute jams capture the band at the height of their sound.

Fridge Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Kings X - Live and Live some More Originally a radio broadcast during the Dogman tour in 1994, it is devasatingly good. I can't think of any other band who can play and sing so well simultaeously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
