This has probably been done done before but here goes my top five 1 The Allman Brothers Band Fillmore East 2 Derek and the Dominos Live at The Filmore East 3 Humble Pie Live at The Fillmore East 4 The Who Live At Leeds 5 The Rolling Stones Get Your Ya Ya's Out
Here are a few that are not on the list of usual suspects........
Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriquez - Live From the Ruhr Triennale (Wow!) The Jayhawks - Live From the Women's Club Vol. 1&2 Rare Earth - Live Band of Horses - Live at the Ryman Patricia Barber - Companion BoDeans - Joe Dirt Car The Tubes - What do you Want from Live
No genre, just excellent live recordings that are often FAR better than the studio work from these artists. All of these are in my semi-regular rotation.
Depeche Mode -- Exciter Nina Hagen -- Return of Mother Jimi Hendrix -- Band of Gypsys Frank Zappa -- The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life B.L.U.E. -- Brufford Levin Upper Extremities
Hot Tuna (first LP) The Band--Rock of Ages Genesis Live King Crimson--USA Ry Cooder-- Chicken Skin Music Live Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen--Live from Deep in the Heart of Texas
Here`s my cuts: Little Feat: Waiting for Columbus Live Joe Bonemassa: Live at the Royal Albert Hall Dire Straits: Alchemy Deep Purple: Made In Japan Pink Floyd: Pulse
grateful dead live derek & dominoes live at fillmore e zappa roxy & elsewhere led zep how the west was won sting bring on the night (yes, great freaking live album) who live @ leeds (yes, thats 6, but they're equally great)
(1) Derek Trucks Band, Live at Georgia Theatre (2) Gary Clark Jr., Live (3) Widespread Panic, Live in the Classic City (4) Crossroads (Eric Clapton Guitar Festival) (5) John Prine, Live on Tour
As I opened this thread I was listening to Little Feat so I will go with: Greatful Dead- Reckoning Little Feat- Waiting for Columbus Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Live Jason Isbell- Live From Alabama Neil Young- Live Rust
So many good ones above + Disc 2 of Wheels of Fire Spoonful one of the best live performances ever Jimi Band of G Les McCann & Eddie Harris Live @ Montreaux Janis& BBHC Cheap Thrills Ten Years After Live
Depending on the rules, The Allman Brothers "The Fillmore Concerts", if that doesn't count then Live at Fillmore East, followed by Eat a Peach which is 3/4's live and has the sensational Mountain Jam, the Who's Live at Leeds, Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus, and the Live side of Cream's Wheels of Fire. The only guitar player that has gotten in the vicinity of Duane Allmans performance at the Fillmore East is Stevie Ray Vaughn, but that's just my humble opinion. Long live the spirit of Brother Duane Allman!
1 more even though not ROCK Keith Jarrett Koln Concert. Incredible stuff. Part 2a most beautiful music I have ever heard, in 54 years of life, PERIOD.
Gotta give mention to a few who selected Yes Yessongs, solid pick. Les McCann and Eddie Harris-- that album is incredible! If you haven't heard this go get it!! Its one of a kind.
Gotta go listen to that Tull album mentioned.
Oh 1 more should have been my top 5 Emerson Lake and Palmer Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.
So Skynyrd One more for the Road Santana Lotus Emerson Lake and Palmer welcome back my friends to the show that never ends Yes Yessongs Allman Bros Live at Filmore
honerable mention Keith Jarret Koln Concert Les McCann Eddie Harris Live at Montreaux
Lots of great picks folks and I would only add: Supertramp’s “Paris” and with honorable mention going to Porcupine Tree’s DVD “Anesthetize, Live In Tilburg”
My favorites - 1. Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East (ABB at their finest) 2. Ten Years After - Recorded Live (tied with the next two for best performance) 3. Humble Pie Live at the Fillmore East 4. The Who - Live at Leeds 5. Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus (best recording of the lot...)
