What a great thread!!! My three faves are all live albums.....I like to go to the show. In no particular order because I love them all:
1. Live From Deep in the Heart of Texas, Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen. THIS is beer drinking music by some of the best musicians you will ever hear. I have worn out 2 LPs...
2. Have to agree with WYOBOY "Waiting for Columbus" by Little Feat may be the best live album recorded. Got a MOFI copy that I prize!
3. A Show of Hands by Rush is just superb. The lyrics are as relevant today as when they were written. Excellent recording and production. My neighborhood knows this album well....
And just a throw in, one of the best produced albums I've ever heard
Recycled-Nektar I have clipped more amps with this recording than anything else in my library. Great fun, maybe the best album art ever!
