Best live albums

Oasis - Familiar to millions, is quite good.

Haven't heard it in years, but I remember thinking Nirvana - From the muddy banks of the wiskah - was pretty class.
 
Tell you what wouldn't be on this list - the two Bowie live albums, 'David Live' and 'Stage'. For one of the greatest live performers he hasn't done too well in the 'transfer to disc' stakes. The last Ziggy concert isn't too bad, but heavy on overdubs and studio trickery.

The Springsteen '75-85. collection has some pretty good stuff on there.

I'm a huge Thin lizzy fan but live & dangerous doesn't do much for me as a "live album" as half of it was re-recorded in the studio and dubbed, so i never really consider it a live album.

It's not really a live album in the sense that its an album, but i recently got an amazing Stevie Wonder bootleg from a concert he played in 1975 in germany. It's brilliant.

After having a thought heres some of my favs -

In no order besides what i think of first.

Johnny Cash - Live At Folsom
Johnny Cash - At San Quentin
James Brown - Live At The Apollo
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same
Sam Cooke - At The Copa
Cheap Trick - At Budokan
AC/DC - If You Want Blood, You've Got It
Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band - Live 1975-1985
Bob Dylan - The Royal Albert Hall Concert
Stax/Volt Revue - Volumes One & Two
The Who - Live At Leeds
The Ramones - It's Alive
Daft Punk - Alive
The Allman Brothers - Fillmore East
Jimi Hendrix - Band Of Gypsies
Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin-E
MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
The Clash - Live: From Here to Eternity
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York
Guns N Roses - Live Era: 87–93
Bob Marley and The Wailers - Live!

I'll add more if i think of any.
 
I'm just hoping the Doors get a new manager sooner rather than later, then I might have a few more Doors shows to add. There are some AMAZING shows out there but the Doors management refuses to pay for tapes and offers the owner a small percentage of the royalties. How the feck do they expect people to give up tapes for such a small amount :rolleyes:

There are some incredible shows out there.
