The Best Live album


What are some good live albums/cds you own? Good sound is a nice bonus.

You may put down whatever you want such as "Get your ya ya's out", but are there some maybe we haven't all heard about yet?

The best I have bought lately is Delbert McClinton, "Live", a 2 CD set of a concert in Norway. Just excellent blues big band. I mean this album just smokes, Oh yeaahh, with excellent sound to boot.

Lokie: The wall of sound had been retired by the 5/8/77 Dead show you speak of. The 2nd set is especially amazing for that period. Surprising that Dick's Picks hasn't issued this show.
Bob Dylan Royal Albert Hall 1966:
The acoustic 1st set is pure beauty. Just young Bob his guitar and harmonica.
Here's 2 in the same vein: Smokin at The Fillmore by Humble Pie and what is probably the best selling live album ever the now dated "Frampton Comes Alive". You may be reluctant to admit it now but you bought it and loved it when it came out.
Hi Lokie,
100 Year Hall
Europe 72
The Fillmore East. Show from 4/26/71 (don't remember the name of these discs, but it is a commercial release.) I wasn't a big fan of the Dead after 1975 so someone else can take over from 75 on. 5/8/77 is a rare exception. You should really check out the early stuff with Pig Pen. Europe 72 and 4/26/71 are some great examples.
