Best double live vinyl?


 

Growing up in the 60's and 70's was the height of double live vinyl and the double feature at the movie theater. I'm listening to before the flood - Mr. Zimmerman and the Band. After listening to side one it flips to four, that's just not right.

Not a double and not remotely the best live album, but I was rather taken by the live album that was the second disc of Everybody's in Showbiz by the Kinks. Ray Davies is clearly plastered and the rest of the band isn't far behind, and there's just a kind of drunken majesty about it.

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

 

@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.

Live Adventures of AL Kooper and Mike Bloomfield at the Fimore in S.F.. Amazing!!!

Many are worth mentioning, but I'll limit myself to only two.

Frampton Comes Alive

Live Bullet

Hendrix’ “Electric Ladyland” was the main one back in the day.

Ramping it up even further was “The White Album”….

there were other worthy contenders but I think those were pretty good.

Joni Mitchell Shadows and Light.

One of the best bands ever! Especially riveting listening to Jaco knowing he was taken from us too soon. 

@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. 

@deadtrader 

I didn't know The Band played that weekend. I'm thinking the big pink house wasn't far from the farm.

Woodstock YES then add the other half dozen official release sources and add this little bootleg collection I have and Bang you have Woodstock. 17 cds total

Woodstock Complete – Bootleg Version

This is the Bootleg Only version of Woodstock Complete – the one you’re
downloading. Its 11 cds. If you have some of the below, you can skip a disc –
but take a look at the source as ours may be more complete.

When you have this you need to buy the cds and videos in the OfficialSources
text file. Then reburn it according to the complete setlist.

Bear in mind that I have edited together stage announcements and performances
from various sources to give the most complete "build" of this material currently
possible. Multiple sources have varying sound qualities, varying levels of hiss
ect. I have chosen not to de-hiss much of the material as my personal preference
is "purist" and because of the extremely variant opinions about hiss reduction
techniques. I have, however, speed corrected everything!!

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. 😄

I was listening to some vinyl the other week and noticed that about how the sides are set up on some double albums; I think it's annoying!
