Best double live vinyl?


 

Growing up in the 60's and 70's was the height of double live vinyl and the double feature at the movie theater. I'm listening to before the flood - Mr. Zimmerman and the Band. After listening to side one it flips to four, that's just not right.

I learned early on, that live albums most often suffer harsh sonics. I didn't buy many "live" albums because of that. But Waiting For Columbus is as good sonically as most studio albums. And there is a lot of good music on it.. I used to listen to music in my car as much or more than anywhere because I was in it a lot. And I love music while driving. And though I didn't "drive it like I had stolen it" I did drive it like I was evading a forest fire or just trying to beat the crowd.

J Geils - Full House   

was a favorite. Peter Wolf was one of the absolute most entertaining front man I have ever seen. What a shame the never put out a good studio album. Most of the younger generation know them by Freeze Frame or Centerfold. But this was a far cry from their earlier work. BTW their 2 live album

" Live-Blow Your Face Out" is also a worthy double album. Full House is a single album. Both underrated

Agree, the Little Feat double LP is great.

I also like Joe Cocker's "Mad Dogs & Englishmen".

+1 for At Fillmore East - Allman Brothers

+1 for Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat (saw them last night in B'ham AL; still a good 2-hr show, much setlist overlap)

Little feat all the way!  You probably are unaware that Paul Barrere and Richie Hayward have both passed on, so do not expect a tour anymore.  Too bad, I have seen them live at least five times and will miss them.

Since the question was about double live vinyl from the '60s and '70s, no question in my mind it's Allman Bros. at Fillmore East.  I was coincidentally just listening to Frampton Comes Alive Deluxe Edition... don't bother.  The original is far better, but still nowhere as good as ABB at Fillmore.  The only live Jimi record I remember from those days was Hendrix in the West, which was a single album, and a compilation of cuts from various venues.  James Gang had a good live album, but it was only a single.  I've always thought Zep and the Stones were far better studio bands than live bands.
