Great Live Recordings

[Dave5N]

I love live music on record - a great tradition (Neville Bros spring to mind).

Anyway, I was listening to 'Rock and Roll Animal', and wondered what else might be on the discerning listener's list.

Off the top of my head I'd have to go for either; Sam Cook - Live @ Harlem Sq. 1963, or Deep Purple - Made In Japan.
There are plenty more but I'm off to bed and don't need to be rummaging thru my records at this time on a Monday morning.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

AC/DC - If You Want Blood.
Television - The Blow Up (full of mistakes and off key singing but a really atmospheric and energetic album).

 

[Dave5N]

Ac/dc Ffs?

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Great band, especially the early stuff. Most of their studio albums were recorded live, effectively.

I'm with RT on the AC/DC call, a great rhythm & blues band until the untimely death of singer Bonn Scott, admittedly taking a lot of his cues from The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, to the last.
Died just down the road from here in fact.....

and I'm with tdr1nka on Made in Japan. I got a 3cd set of each nights live performance and there's one bit where Gillan laughs when Blackmore fluffs the intro to Smoke on the Water!

My favourite recent live CD is Volkerball by Rammstein....also great to see live. Gets a bit hot though.

 

[Andy in Sig]

Rory Gallagher - Live in Europe and Irish Tour '74
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Ten Years After did a great live double but I can't remember what it was called.
The Who Live At Leeds.
Stones - Get Yer YaYas Out

 

[Renard]

Bob Marley live at the Lyceum

 

[Kirstie]

Lau have a live recording coming out in late spring, and I can't wait to hear it - I couldn't get to the recording in Edinburgh before xmas because I'd been in hospital...I reckon it will be awesome.

 

[Bigtallfatbloke]

Made in Japan
Rainbow Live on stage
Made in Europe
The song remains the same
Live and dangerous

 

[domtyler]

My favourite live album would have to be Rank from Mozzer and Co.

Agree with votes for 'Live & Dangerous' (Lizzy) & 'Get Your YaYas Out' (Stones). As I kid, I remember listening to Peter Frampton's 'Frampton Comes Alive' and enjoying it. I like Magazine's ponderous 'Play' too.

Built To Spill - Cortez The Killer (Neil Young cover & very long!)

RATM - Bullet In The Head (b-side of the single with same title)

 

[The Young Soul Rebel]

Buzzcocks - Encore du pain is great!!
