Alive In Athens by Iced Earth is the best I've ever heard, but I've still got lots to listen to. Also, bash them all you want, but Metallica's "Symphony & Metallica" is awesome.

I've found some really cool cover songs by them online. Stuff from various concerts.

They did a country/blue grass version of "Gin & Juice" which was hilarious, and they did "Freebird" like a barber shop quartet, doing all the parts with their mouths. Guitar solos and everything. Its fricken amazing.

I heard somewhere that the Who was considered the loudest live act ever. Hard to believe they are louder than metal bands though.

I can't believe I'm the first person to mention Peter Frampton Comes Alive. This album is generally regarded as one of the greatest live albums ever, and definately of the 1970s.

But the joke backfired, because obviously people thought that you seriously liked that crap, which shows the level of esteem that Apolyton holds your general taste.

For the ignorant masses who don't know what an Antares Auto-tuner is, it's a gadget that fixes the pitch in your voice so that it follows the key exactly - never a false tone. And it still sounds like your voice. With that device, almost anyone can sound good on record.

My thoughts, even if I haven't listened to that many live albums.

Pearl Jam's Live on Two Legs is actually not that much of a live album, being so neat and polished that once in a while you'd think it was a studio recording. Still it served as a great introduction to the post-Ten material so I have to include it.

Excluding the one I attended, they also released 'official bootlegs' from every concert on their 2000 tour which was a great idea. I believe the cover art is very similar to that of Live at Leeds which probably is to be taken as a tribute (PJ have on many occasions played a decent cover of Baba O'Reilly).

Rammstein's Live aus Berlin and Springsteen's 75-85 live recordings had some gems on them as well.

Nirvana's unplugged deserves some more mention as well, but curiously the covers done by Cobain here lead me to the Meat Puppets live CD which among other worthwhile things included a superior edition of Plateau (or was it Lake of Fire, or both? It's been a while).

I bought a Jeff Buckley live CD once. Presumably it was a great concert to attend, but sound quality was so poor on many songs it was not much use to listen to. I do understand there is other material out there, but I'd have to hear it before I buy it.

Probably like most others, I did expect Radiohead's live album to be somewhat obscure as opposed to a greatest hits compilation.

Still, couldn't they at least have included a single OK Computer hit along with some The Bends stuff?

Those were great albums and the reasons why I always wanted to see Radiohead live. Right now I'm not so sure...

What's Peter Frampton's most widely known song?

I'm not sure I've ever heard any of his material.

For sure I've never heard of the man himself.
