Ok, please bear with me, it`s my first thread and since there seems to be a lot of talk about music and it got me thinking... Anyone interested in talking about their favourite live albums?
For me it has to be...
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Whitesnake - Live in the heart of the city
Robin Trower - Live
UFO - Strangers in the night
Rory Gallagher - Irish tour
Scorpions - Tokyo tapes
It`s the stuff I grew up on, anyone else like to add theirs?

"Nirvana reading 92
Jimi hendrix live at the apollo xmas 67
Foo fighters gig at wembley in 08 was a cracking show...seen them that year in dublin...great live band"
Must check those out, big Hendrix fan and forgot to add the Band of gypsies album, Machine gun is probably the best recording of a guitar expressing human feelings, a masterpiece in itself. |

Starting to enjoy this!
Definitely love let there be rock, Tesla's singers banter between songs kind of ruined the album for me but Frank Hannon's solo at the end when he switches to electric is brilliant!
Missed that donington show with AC/DC but was there in 84, great day!
Love the Black Crowes BTW, croweology is great if you haven't heard it! |

Jimi Hendrix at Winterland
Another overlooked album is the jimi Hendrix concerts, a nice live compilation from the 80s. Unfortunately lost due to war reparations  |

"Jazz and soul for you.
Grover Washington live at the Bijou
Maze live In New Orleans
Keith Jarrett Koln Concert
"
I haven't heard all of Keith Jarrett in Koln, but the parts I have heard are astounding. Esbjorn Svensson is well worth a listen too.
Also on the jazz front, Pat Metheny's the road to you is a great live album. |

What's the sound quality like? Better than some of the crap available on YouTube I suspect but if it is really good, I'd love to get a copy. I'll pay for the tape obviously |

When I get the chance to transfer to pc and eq it I can send an MP3 or wav file to you. It might take some time but the quality isn't bad, and it will be from the master tape. |

I bought a Pixies best of years ago (before they reformed), it had a bonus live disc with it which was unbelievably good, far better than the studio cuts which I was only a fairweather fan of.
Must dig it out and give it a spin! |

Speaking of bonus discs, you reminded me of the Bowie at the beeb cd which came with a limited edition live disc. Best version of ashes to ashes I've heard. Not even a Bowie fan but I bought it just for this. |

I picked up a copy of Irish tour on vinyl last year. It's still sealed waiting for a special occasion. I love that album! |

Thin lizzy - live and dangerous
Led Zeppelin - BBC sessions (Celebration day is a fantastic measure of the lads current day)
AC/DC- if you want blood
Slash - made in stoke
Rory Gallagher - Montreaux fest 70's
The Blues Brothers - Suitcase full of blues
Pink Floyd - Pulse
The Band - the last waltz
The Allman brothers - Filmore east
**Oasis at Wembley might have made it in (had they had an able singer who's ability wasn't just limited to his attitude and balancing a tambourine on his head)
I may be leaving some out, Queen, Johnny Cash, B.B King.
And I think the ballsiest live performance might have been Hendrix playing Sgt. Pepper while Lennon and McCartney were sat in the audience on the day the album was released. |
