Best Live Albums? Not the band Live :)

First of all, let me say I have never been a fan of live compilations. In fact, I don't think I have more than 5 live albums in my entire collection.

However, I recently stumbled upon Vertical Horizon - Live Stages and think it's excellent for a live compilation.

FYI, before their breakout CD, Everything You Want, in 2000, Vertical Horizon used to be just two guys with acoustic guitars and their band. Don't get me wrong, I still like the current sound of VH, it's just their music now sounds to have been "radio-ized".

I liked both Throwing Copper and Secret Samadhi ;)

but seriously,

Ian Hunter - Welcome to the Club
Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus
Nirvana - Unplugged

are all good.
