How about James Brown Live at the Apollo ? |
+1 on J.Geils Band. I remember the pal that turned me onto the 1st record saying, as he dropped the needle on the groove, "it's a mellow(!) rock'n'roll record". After the 1st coupla tunes I told him; "it's mellow 'cause you've got the volume turned down, crank it!!";) I remember going to the Rockpile (a small warehouse that was converted to a music venue, yr basic sweaty dump, I LOVED the joint!) to see the J. Geils Band 2nd billing to Edgar Winter's White Trash (listen to 'Full House' and than 'Roadwork' to hear what I heard that night!). All for $7.50!! Talk about a rockin' evening, whatanight!! |
Love it another J Geils band fan! Full House is a rockin live LP! Oh yaaaa! |
|
Stones unplugged is their best live album in my opinion. |
In no particular order of preference, just listing them off the top of my head...
CSNY -- Four Way Street
Allman Brothers Band -- Filmore East
Peter Frampton -- Comes Alive
Joni Mitchell -- Miles of Aisles
Grateful Dead -- Europe '72
Dave Brubeck -- Together Again for the First Time
Duke Ellington -- Newport 1956
Deep Purple -- Made in Japan
Cheap Trick -- Live at Boudukan
Woodstock -- Soundtrack |
Neil Young - Live at massey hall |
Neil Diamond - Hot August Night |
Stones' Get Your Ya Yas Out and the live Clash album. |
Like I said I had a dah moment. |
"Beatles - abby road Hevac1"
Is that some sort of bizarre irony? |
"Scream In Blue" - Midnight Oil |
Humble Pie, Rockin' The Fillmore
Deep Purple, Made in Japan |
Sarah Vaughan, Live in Japan. |
Full House-J.Geils Band
Rainbow Concert-Clapton
Live in Germany-Bottle Rockets
Live at Rockpalast-Cracker |
If your not familiar with Kate Wolf you should be. Her live recording, "Give Yourself to Love" is beyond reproach. |
dah moment.
Alman Brothers Band - Live at Fillmore East |
|
George Harrison, Live in Japan.
Marlena Shaw, Live in Tokyo. |
End of list:
Pink Floyd --Delicate Sound of Thunder |
The Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin in San Fran is a great one. I'll also agree with Transnova on the ABB/Los Lonely Boys at the Fillmore East albums.
However, Mitchchavis nailed it for me with the Bill Evans rec. Waltz for Debby and Sunday at the Village Vanguard are my favorite live recordings ever. |
|
Friday Night in San Francisco - Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin. |
Ooops!
Not only is the website not called Beeswing.com (it was beesweb.com), it seems to be gone, now.
The new URL for Richard Thompon direct sales is:
http://www.richardthompson-music.com/ |
A lot of good calls here, already. One more thought:
Richard Thompson has done a bunch of great live records, and one or two have already been mentioned above. However, the one I find myself returning to most often is "Two Letter Words", available direct only from Beeswing.com (I believe). Great performances of a great set list.

"Shy" anyone? |
Earth wind and fire...gratitude...this just cooks! |
Brandi Carlile "Live at Benaroya Hall" is pretty damn good. |
Thanks Lindisfarne. The 70's had some awesome guitarists, but these guys were special. They did KILL and ROCK!!! |
Ziggy...your taste is impeccable. Slick, Wagner and Hunter kill. |
I second David Live, 1974 Diamond Dogs Tour. Top notch musicians playing Bowies great early material. David Sanborn, Luther Vandross(vocals) Michael Kamen, Earl Slick just to name a few. Another personal favorite is Lou Reed's
Rock and Roll Animal Album. Another great band featuring Dick Wagner/Steve
Hunter on Guitar. |

My new favorite live album is Pink Floyd's 1974 live performance of Dark Side. The live CD comes with the Experience and Immersion Editions from the 2011 remaster. The sound quality and performance is excellent. If you're a Pink Floyd fan this is a must. |
I agree with many of the above albums and I would have to add:
Bill Evans Waltz For Debby & Live at the Village Vanguard
Jackson Browne Running on Empty
Van Morrison Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl |
Many fine albums have already been mentioned- one which is often missed is Warren Zevon's 1981 "Stand in the Fire". Really captures the energy of the performers. |
ABB Live at The Fillmore East!!!
Los Lonely Boys Live at The Fillmore is also a nice listen. |
Van Morisson - It's Too Late To Stop Now! Best ever!!!!!!!!! |
