best live records... ever ever

Why the hell did you take all of my answers? I am actually listening to Live at Leeds right now, the 2 disc version with the entire Tommy.

I have nothing to add.

James Brown "love power peace"...PERIOD.

ok, or Bad Brains "Live"

i was going for "Live at Leeds" as well.

I saw the title of the thread and immediately thought "Live At Leads." Guess it's unanimous then.

Blue Öyster Cult - On Your Feet, or On Your Knees
Weather Report - 8:30
Jaco Pastorius & Word of Mouth Big Band - Twins I & II
Led Zeppelin - How the West was Won
Dire Straits - Alchemy
Joni Mitchell - Shadows & Light
Pat Metheny Group - Travels
Rashaan Roland Kirk - I, Eye, Aye
Bad Religion - Tested
John McLaughlin, Al diMeola & Paco de Lucia - Friday Night in San Francisco
Jethro Tull - Bursting Out

Oh, and I was just listening to Live at Leeds while coming home. Great as well, but can't make it to the above list.

1. Tom Waits- Nighthawks at the Diner
2. Bad Brains- Black Dot
3. Sick of It All- Live in a Dive.

the favourite in my collection, anyway. i would be willing to bet that the james brown one is worth getting though

Black Dots is not a live album.

Nirvana Unplugged.

recorded at the village vanguard, new york city; june 25,1961

NIN- And All That Could Have Been. The album sounds just like I remember it being when I saw them live. Very cool.

strung out, live in a dive

Motorhead - No sleep 'til Hammersmith

thats arguable. it was recorded live.

another good one.

black flag-live in 84


Nofx- heard they sucked live ( fucking hilarious)


Slayer-decade of aggression.


ad/dc- live (double cd)

The Ramones - It's Alive

i knew someone was going to say that. and that would have been my answer. and i do think it rocks for that reason.

the tom waits' one is also in a grey area, there's an audience there, but all the songs are original.

but as i say, those are the best in my collection. and yes, as far as live stuff goes, it is a small collection.

and oh, yes, NOFX 'I Heard They Suck Live' is great.

How in heckfire did I forget that?

Far better than the studio versions. Best live album I've ever heard.

Face to Face: LIVE

"You think you're over with it,
don't wanna talk about it,
I'll tell you somethin' you don't wanna know
Fuck yeah!"

The Band- The Last Waltz
Joy Division- Preston 28 February 1980

The Jam, Dig The New Breed.

Good call.
