Loud and Live


I had some friends over last weekend (old highschool friends) and they wanted me to rock out with something loud and live. My choice was; Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes Live at the Creek, #4, What Is And What Sould Never Be. I know we're old farts but would love to here what other audiogoners would chose.

That night "Chappo" and his band were in splendid shape. They rocked, or rather R&B'd, everybody to full satisfaction. And his version of "Let's spend the night together" makes the original one of the really old farts aka the Stones sound lame, tame, and dull, in my opinion.
The sound quality is not the very best, and I have no idea how to dance to Chapman's own pieces, but the raw power and the atmosphere should make anyone jump up and move, e.g. "Midnight Child" and "Who pulled the nite down". Move your furniture out of the way, warn the neighbours, enjoy!
I find most live recordings do not live up to the studio versions, but I do enjoy the following live.
Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler
Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well
REO Speedwagon
Two that I think capture the excitement and are louder the better:

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Babylon by Bus
Rare Earth - In Concert
"Live at the Half Note" -Coltrane '65 with the classic quartet. Probably the best 'Afro Blue' solos in his career.
