funny, I daren't listen to my most memorable live albums - they were my big brother's & I remember thinking how bloody cool they all were
(suspect I'd dislike some of them quite a lot now)
Scorpions, Rush, Deep Purple - and all that
1st gig I went to was UFO at the town hall in middlesbrough

then we got punk.... 😀

I don't much like live albums - just makes you think how much better it'd be if you were there (he has some ace springsteen bootlegs)

That queen one IS great though

Also Paul Weller - Live Wood (not sure how 'live' it really is)

Metallica - S&M

It's so good, their stuff just works really well live, especially with the San Fran Symphony Orchestra in the background. Plus, it includes some really good exclusives. No Leaf Clover is so good! 😀

I'd second Mr Cash in a certain prison, and Mr Cobain unplugged.

I'd like to add Chuck Ragan - Los Feliz, and although Bruce's 1975-85 is pretty awesome, for me the Live at the Hammersmith DVD in the Born to Run anniversary box set knocks it into a cocked hat. Although that's a DVD and thus may not count.

SLF are playing here next week, and I went to see Penetration a fortnight ago, it feels like 1979 all over again!

Van Morrison - A Night in San Fransisco. Played endlessy for far too many years.

Hey, what about "It's Too Late To Stop Now" ? Van doing what Van does best - full of angst and emotion. Can't believe it's from 1974 - the year that I first saw Van live 8)

another vote for "Too late to stop now" can't get enough of it sometimes, incredible band

always enjoyed AC/DC "if you want blood" as a yoof - with the "single entendre" version of "The JacK"

The Bob Dylan "Live at the Albert Hall" (actually recorded in Manchester Free Trade Hall) bootleg thing is amazing

CD 1 = solo acoustic and polite clapping

CD2 = electric with "The Band" as his backing group , booing audience

nob in audience -"Judas'"

Bob "Your a Liar" (to the rest of the band) "Play it loud"

Robbie Robertson and the rest of the band strike up "Like a Rolling Stone"

amazing amazing amazing
