Best unplugged live


I'm listening to Alice in Chains unplugged MTV. Great performance and recorded perfectly. I miss that show. Stripped and seated, I love the concept.

Not MTV unplugged, but a favorite live recording Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus

Hey Newbie here again, and not sure how to go about this.

I have most of my system purchased or settled on, but I'm still overwhelmed on speaker matching. I've over indulged on speaker research, and would like to post my  system and get some feedback on good matches. Just want to make sure I post in the proper thread. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the warm welcome, I'll be seeing you guys around the threads....first time posting, but I've been lurking getting ideas for the last 6 months or so.

I am remodeling the first floor of my house, and am replacing almost all of my gear. The agreement with my wife, just get rid of my floor standing Thiel 3.6 speakers (she thinks they are ugly) and go to bookshelfs....and she's good with it. Not sure she had any clue of the consequences of that statement, but I will have to hide the sub somewhere.

Reubent,

Yes replacing the Thiels with a bookshelf is not possible in my budget. But I'm 15 years older than when I bought them, and my listening style has changed dramatically as I've reached 60. I think I can be satisfied with a $3,000ish pair of bookshelfs, and a REL T/5X or T/7X.....especially if I pair them with great electronics. Right now purchased a Denafrips Pontus II D, AC and am strongly considering a Nuprime Audio AMG STA amp.....if I can figure out the volume control issue.

Thought of some more great live recordings in my collection, even if the recording quality is less than perfect the performances make up for it: Talking Heads Stop Making Sense, Eagles Hell Freezes Over, Allman Brothers Live at Filmore East, Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, Lynyrd Skynyrd One More For/From The Road, Bob Seger Live Bullet, Aretha Live at Filmore West, Rush Exit Stage Left, and of course the previously mentioned Little Feat Waiting for Columbus which is prior to Lowell George's deat.

Hi gents! Maybe you could assist with some speaker requests. I have posted my system, but a swamped with speaker recommendation......and I'm kind of frozen with indecision. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, or if I should just bugger off
