The Best Live album

That's pretty good. But the Mapleshade live recording of the old blues guy in DC is better. Sunnyland Slim if memory serves.

The recently issued 3x 180gm LP box of David Bowie A Reality Tour 2003/4. A few posters have been skeptical of SQ(without hearing the LPs), as several sides stretch vinyl’s limit to 24-27 minutes. But SQ seems fine, and the band is HOT. I saw him in on tour in Philadelphia that year, just before his heart problem. It’s the last word in Bowie live.

I'm adding some additional live records to my original post from 12 years ago!

If you like Americana, or just good music, well recorded, check out these:

EmmyLou Harris with Spyboy - Live in Germany 2000

The Jayhawks - Live From the Women's Club Vol 1&2

Band of Horses - Acoustic at the Ryman

And last, but not least: One of my favorite recording ever:

Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez - Live from the Ruhr Triennale
