Best *Live* Music albums?

[Eos]

My favorites are all bootlegs, but I have some commercial faves.

BNL - "Rock Spectacle"
U2 - "Rattle & Hum"
Rush - "Live in Rio"
Elton John - "Here & There"

 

[HendrixFan]

Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys, you'll get the single greatest guitar performance in "Machine Gun".

If you can find it, Jimi Hendrix - In the West is a nice collection of some of his finest performances, including his best live "Red House" and "Little Wing".

 

[Turfzilla]

Muse - Hullabaloo 10/10

 

[Canai]

phish-it

led zeppelin - bbc sessions

tool - salvial

Jimi Hendrix - band of gypsies live in NY

A couple of other older ones are:

Neil Young - Live Rust
Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Weld is also really good, if you're into it.
I have a soft spot for Cheap Trick, so throw in Live at Budokan.

The new Foo Fighters Skin and Bones is pretty good. I believe The Flaming Lips Pink Robots(whatever it's called) was live.

Bob Marley Live is good too.

Yoshimi vs The Pink Robots wasn't live, but The Flaming Lips are excellent live I would also suggest checking out the Eels. They have three superb (in my opinion) live albums that are not to be missed.

 

[loup garou]

Martin Sexton -- Live Wide Open

Also, if you are a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins at all, their live bootleg Turpentine Kisses is superb. It's from the Melloncollie and the Infinite Sadness era.

Phil Collins: Final Farewell DVD is amazing. The live version of In the Air Tonight is the best version.
