Someone’s best (favorite) is the one with the weed crumbs in the inside crease. Joking aside, my favorite back then was most likely Alman Brorhers Fillmore East. It was instrumental in my early Guitar learning. Funny my older sister had it and not in the best shape. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed had a bad skip partially through. I learned the song and Solo note for note, although anytime playing it alone (witout the record) approaching that skip-spot would alway's slightly throw me. 😄 |

@deadtrader - I've got that whole Woodstock box set in the wooden case with the guitar strap and the lithos. I'll be putting it up for sale before much longer. With about 5 or 6 exceptions, I just didn't like most of the music, even from bands that I do like. The ones I liked best were Jimi Hendrix and the Jefferson Airplane. |
@voodoolounge: Big Pink IS close, in West Saugerties, where Woodstock was actually held. Another good dbl live: Little Feat's Waiting For Columbus. My early pressing has the 1/4-2/3 LP side arrangement, my later pressing (with bar code on the back cover) 1/2-3/4. Changers went out of fashion in the early-mid 70's, even amongst non-audiophiles. |
The Band - Rock of Ages and The Last Waltz (ok, it's a triple) Mountain Jam was originally released on the Allman Brother's next album (another double) Eat a Peach. Another great Joni live double - Miles of Aisles Likewise for Jaco (as part of Weather Report) - 8:30 Van Morrison - I'd take A Night in San Francisco over It's Too Late to Stop Now

How about one that includes arguably one of the best rock/jazz drum solos of all time? I think it’s one of the best recorded solos as well. Journey Captured. As a kid I was all about Neil Peart until I heard this solo. Have been a Steve Smith fan ever since. Was finally able to get a NOS copy a few years back. |

I'll make an unnecessary 4th nod to Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus". If you can check out their current WFC anniversary tour, I'd recommend that you do so. Though I miss Lowell George like I'd miss anything, the guy who's filling his role has incredible chops! Shame on me for not knowing his name, but I just got back from Nashville, where I saw them at the Ryman. Just killer! I hope that they put out a new album. The show was taped for an upcoming PBS documentary. Also, at the tour shows you can pick up a copy of WFC on red vinyl. Supposedly you can't get it anywhere else. |
I’ll 5th that Little Feat-Columbus @baylinor I have a MOFI copy. Found it at the local used shop for $20. Sounds amazing! |
I learned early on, that live albums most often suffer harsh sonics. I didn't buy many "live" albums because of that. But Waiting For Columbus is as good sonically as most studio albums. And there is a lot of good music on it.. I used to listen to music in my car as much or more than anywhere because I was in it a lot. And I love music while driving. And though I didn't "drive it like I had stolen it" I did drive it like I was evading a forest fire or just trying to beat the crowd. J Geils - Full House was a favorite. Peter Wolf was one of the absolute most entertaining front man I have ever seen. What a shame the never put out a good studio album. Most of the younger generation know them by Freeze Frame or Centerfold. But this was a far cry from their earlier work. BTW their 2 live album " Live-Blow Your Face Out" is also a worthy double album. Full House is a single album. Both underrated |
Since the question was about double live vinyl from the '60s and '70s, no question in my mind it's Allman Bros. at Fillmore East. I was coincidentally just listening to Frampton Comes Alive Deluxe Edition... don't bother. The original is far better, but still nowhere as good as ABB at Fillmore. The only live Jimi record I remember from those days was Hendrix in the West, which was a single album, and a compilation of cuts from various venues. James Gang had a good live album, but it was only a single. I've always thought Zep and the Stones were far better studio bands than live bands. |
@boxcarman - Lowell George died many decades ago and they've continued to go on since; have they stopped since Richie and Paul died? |
