I nominate this as I always found the production on the studio albums lacking. This is the real deal and headphones on you get really sucked into it.

Pink Floyd - Pulse for me.
[img] 
[/img]

[/img]
Isn't that Woppit and his merry men ?I nominate this ... This is the real deal
The Alchemy Live by Dire Straits. Also the live side of Ummagumma by Pink Floyd, but that's not a live double album, strictly speaking.
Metallica - S&M for me
[img] 
[/img]
Space Ritual - Hawkwind
Awesome shout on the sound.
Frampton comes alive
Led zeppelin the song remains the same
Ben harper. Live from mars
Another for Alchemy here, very tight band with great tunes
[b]durhambiker[/b]Metallica - S&M for me
+1. ALways good for a long car journey 😆
Alchemy is super.
Love the GnR Live Era album, though.
Especially for the epic jam session version of Move to the City. "Ladies and gentlemen, the band!"

Apart from the obligatory drum solo
I was going to say Cream, Disraeli Gears but that's one album live/ one album studio so doesn't count (good shout on Allman Brothers above though).
I have Alchemy and Babylon by Bus in my vinyl collection and I'll raise you by The Who, Live at Leeds 8)
Black Sabbath - Live Evil.
Bloody love this album.
Red Hot Chili Peppers live in Hyde Park is brilliant.
I can't believe no-one has gone for Lizzy!
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Ramones It's Alive by a mile, pure genius. Oh to have been at that gig
Alchemy is a great one.
Also Decades of Agression, Slayer.
Interesting that the big live double albums all seem to be from an earlier era; it's almost as if with the advent of stadium venues the gigs have got smaller! Or is it down to the fact that you can get more onto a CD than you can on a single piece of vinyl?
Also, this

Seeing as not all those albums up ^ are double albums i'll include some of my my favourites, not [i]rock[/i] music so perhaps controversial for a live album.

I'm heading to the Paradiso (Amsterdam) to see Nils Frahm in march…..gonna be quite a trip 😉
My second choice. Once again you get the full oomph of the song and not the tinny studio production.

+1 for UFO.

Decade of aggression by slayer.
Can't understand why people like metallica when slayer are so much better.
Live in a world full of hate by sick of it all is also a goodun.
If you only listen to one Van Morrison album (and you really need to hear more) then make it this one from 1973. Nobody does emotion like Van.

No excuses, it's here:

Two words: You and Tube.
Mano Negra: "in the Hell Of Patchinko" is one of my favourite records ever.
Also despite the mixed reviews I like "stage" by Bowie.
And the first side of G'n'R's 'Lies' of course.
I thought Ummagumma too - showing my age there. But since it's only half live, how about?
[img] 
[/img]
Titties 'n' Beer
or
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Soundtrack to teenage years for me.
EDIT showing my age too!
Springsteen Live at Hammersmith 1975
First live album I ever heard (in fact first Queen album as well, and is still amazing).
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Big Black
Sound of Impact.
Not a double album, but has double the impact.
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
Closely followed by
[img] 
[/img]
I was going to say Queen's Live Killers, not as over engineered as the Live Magic album.
Good shout on the Big Country album.
Has Flashy been on to mention Thunder "Live" yet? Still the best British band I've seen live
Soundtrack to teenage years for me.EDIT showing my age too!
Unfortunately anyone talking about double vinyl is showing their age!
Didn't include this as I'm not sure it came out on vinyl, but hey.
It has the worst cover ever but it absolutely rocks.
Thing is i hate Hawkwind,all that cold on the edge of time crap.
I was even there when they recorded this but left early as i hated them so much. 😥
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
This album for me
[img] 
[/img]
and the first song from it
If it's live Hawkwind then surely Space Ritual is the album?
Agree with winston dog, the ultimate live album Thin Lizzy live and dangerous
Was Live at Leeds a double? AFAICR it was a gatefold but not sure if it was just one record. CD reissue had a load more stuff on it anyway, so it counts for me. The bass sound... oof.
And It's Alive, and Live & Dangerous of course.
I thought the OP asked for double albums...
I'll see your live doubles and raise you a live triple
[img] 
[/img]
Thunder are indeed the finest live band, mctd, but I've never felt that their live recordings really capture the quality.
After all, you can't see Danny dancing!
Woo hoo, those were the days! Must have seen ELP 3 times. 🙂
Anyway, no triple concept albums from Yes?
some classics here 🙂
this should be here
[img] 
[/img]
Not a double, but a damn fine album nonetheless (saw them perform this at Aston Villa Leisure Centre of all places circa 1991).
[img] 
[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
my faves have already been mentioned
Iron Maiden - Live After Death (much better than their later offering aA Real Live One / A Real Dead One)
Ac-DC - Live
Slayer - Decade Of Agression
queensryche's operation livecrime is a goo 'un too
Not a double, but "WHO" cares when it's this good!!

Get yer ya ya's out - the stones & love you live, particularly side 3 ( el mocambo side) absolutely rock
Free Live! Is also mighty fine
glad to see Weld was mentioned quickly
don't think I see this yet
[img] 
[/img]
the "wonder stuff live at bescot stadium" E.P. was intense(does this count?)
but seeing U.F.O with schenker and then without were best moments of my early life
Good to see Neil Young and Rory Gallagher get a mention. 8)
Speaking of Rory Gallagher, Taste live at the Isle of Wight is another good 'un.
John Mayer Live..
&
Jason Mraz live..
101 by DM.
I can't quite get my head round the fact that come March, it will be the 25th anniversary of this sublime piece of work. Seems like yesterday.

Best live double album? Whitesnake - live in the heart of the city.
Absolutely sublime blues rock. It's a bittersweet experience listening to it though. You wonder, completely baffled, how they managed to go from this to churning out the absolutely bloody god-awful hair-rock shite they we're responsible for vomiting out in the 80's, complete with the most cringeworthy videos known to man
Good call deluded.
plus 1 for live after death
and this, pure genius. the whole of blackwater park live plus one song from each album.

Can't understand why people like metallica when slayer are so much better.
In some parallel universe, certainly not the one I inhabit.
Back to live albums; Lizzy, Live and Dangerous, Purple, Made In Japan, Zeppelin, The Song Remains The Same. (Got an original movie poster for this tucked away somewhere, goes for around £4-500). 😀
Gotta agree with others Hawkwind - Space Ritual is the one for me.
Double album? Just shows a lack of stamina
[img] 
[/img]
I love this one though:
[img] 
[/img]
"official bootleg" of their last ever show, which was the best gig I've ever been to. Actually quite ropey when you listen to it, but very [i]live[/i] 😉
101 Depeche mode
live in the city of light simple minds
U2 live at red rock under a blood red sky
Yeah im early 40's
Townes Van Zandt Live at the old quarter.
Breathtaking brilliance.
End of thread.
Another vote here for Live Killers (Queen) - absolutely my favourite Queen album.
Also +1 for Stop Making Sense, if it qualifies as a double album - I know it was reissued a few years back in an expanded version, but I've a feeling it was a single originally?
I'm going to upset a few people, The Song Remains The Same isn't a live album, redubbed from studio and rehearsal room.
The BBC tapes are live (and very good, Thank You is monumental.)although theres only John Peel and a few others there.
DP Made in Japan, good althoughI'd go for In Concert
Got to be The Macc Lads, Live at Leeds ( The Who?)
[img] 
[/img]
Slightly over double albums,
Zeppelin how the west we was won
Yes yessongs
Rush all the worlds a stage
Plus the Springsteen live album just for coffee table appeal?
a bit marmite but I used to listen to Seconds out /genesis a bit too much. (40++)
