	Best Live Album Ever? Got spare money?

What's yours?

Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won set is impressive, but there is only one live album that whips it.

The Who Live At Leeds

I've just acquired my fourth (I think) copy: The Deluxe Extended Edition.

What is wrong with other bands? No one can seem to do it the way The Who do it.

So what's yours?

My #1

Phish: A Live One

A 40 minute version of "Tweezer"

"Wilson", one of the best songs to be performed with a crowd that knows their band... "Oh, Wilson!" ala Dennis the Menace

"You Enjoy Myself", around minute 20 they stop playing their instruments and just start making strange sounds... really kewl

Break yourself in with the album "Billy Breathes" or "Picture of Nectar"

They are a jam band, and I had more fun at their concerts than any other I went to. They normally lasted all day, and they would play forever.

Kiss "ALIVE"

Deep Purple "Nobody's Perfect"

Queen "Live at Wembley"

are the 3 best in my own album collection. But there are 1000's of good ones to choose from, most of which I never heard.

EDIT: And oh, how could I forget Dire Strait's "On the Night"?

For live DVDs, I recommend Santana's "Supernatural" and Rammstein's "Live aus Berlin"

Dave Matthews has a lot of good live albums

Most bands these days actually suck, so they don't do live albums

No, I have it on vinyl (now it's on my 'pooter as well), I bought it secondhand when I was 14 (for £3.50 IIRC), twenty years ago . I was a bit of a Mod in those days.....

Man - get the Deluxe edition. 2CDs with extra songs (which were on the 1995 extended edition) plus a complete live performance of "Tommy".

It sounds incredible too - they've cleaned it up.

And yes, I still have the LP.

Apart from that, the only live albums I have are from Queen.

Of course, I like it more because I was at that show, but it's a great album on its own.

I couldn't agree more, and I, too, am speaking of the Deluxe Edition. The first disc alone is worth the price, particularly the extended "My Generation" and "A Quick One", but the Tommy disc is just as good. All around just an amazing 2-disc set.

I've got several Phish albums, live and studio, and second Japher's recommendations. I'd also add Hoist to the list of albums to get started on.

It's a personal history thing. I essentially stopped listening to popular music from about 1991 onwards (with a few exceptions). Almost all my music purchases were classical.

The rise of mp3 changed that. I don't have my good hifi here in Canada and I listen to a lot of music on my computer.

Phish = teh suck

Led Zeppelin
The Who

... but Phish, I'd rather shoot myself than listen to that incessant droning. The only possible way that Phish could sound good is if you were crazy high (which tends to explain their popularity and why hippies follow them around pretending that Phish is some sort of new age Dead).

Phish never was popular by any means...

Us hippies also listened to Led Zeppelin and The Who

Most artist mentioned so far are ancient. Contemporary live albums we would like to hear (just don't forget to plug in the Antares Auto-tuner):

Avril Lavigne
Britney Spears
Kelly Osborne
Spice Girls
Samantha Mumba
etc...

I actively dislike live albums. It's like a concert without the impact, immediacy or atmosphere, or like a recording without the finesse, fidelity or perfection. I've got a bunch of so-called classics of the genre (from Bill Withers live at the Carnegie Hall to Cheap Trick at the Budokan) but they all just bore me.

There are a lot of contemporary female artists that CAN sing. Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Anastacia, Marie Fredriksson (of Roxette) and Sporty Spice to mention a few. When writing the list, I also tried to figure out some male artists that really suck, but as I never listen to them, I couldn't think of any. I was about to mention N'Sync, but then I recalled them singing some really good barbershop for Disney's Tarzan movie. German band Scooter would be on the sucker list though. Didn't they release some live recorded singles by the way?

If you listen to any Spice Girls song, you hear her do all the hard parts. The high tones and the whalings. The others just sing along in some dull tone that 8 out of 10 can do as good as them. She has some rock'n roll in her voice.
