Favorite Live Album?

[Shiri]

nobody really liked The Dissociatives. he's too happy to write good songs these days.Atleast that's the theory. He's happily married and he's dealing with his anorexia.

I don't know, I don't really agree with this theory. I don't think that only sad/depressed people can make good music/art.

[Muran]

Continuing the nerd-out: Barenaked Ladies' Rock Spectacle is always enjoyable for me.

Damnit! I was going to say Rock Spectacle!

 

And Blind Guardian is thumbs up too

 

I guess I'll go with Philosopher Kings' "One Night Stand"

[Shortcut To Moncton]

I think the Dissociatives album was a great album--pretty diverse and not what you'd expect. I found Diorama to be a brilliant album--it's nice to see a writer grow up and write uplifting songs and not teen angst songs; see first two mediocre albums.

[Shiri]

I don't know, I liked Neon Ballroom the best.

true, althoguh their most popular albums seem to coincide with his depression.

[Shiri]

Yeah, in Silverchair specifically it seems to be the case. I'm still really curious to see what the new album is going to sound like. I haven't completely given up on that band.

Nirvana MTV Unplugged In New York

Hayden Live at Convocation Hall

[Audio of Being]

Contains a killer live version of Supper's Ready.

[Some Random]

honorable mentions:

 

mighty mighty bosstones: live from the middle east. wicked live album. great band to see live. i miss the bosstones.

 

the slackers: live at ernesto's. i'd love to see them in person, but this'll have to do till then.

[Kenwell]

Rock Spectacle is such an amazing album. Hell Freezes Over by The Eagles isn't too bad either.

[Matt]

No one's mentioned Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison? It's such a great live album...

[Ryan44]

Home by Collective Soul with the Atlanta Youth Orchestra

I'll say Mystery White Boy by Jeff Buckley today.

[no yu begin wher i end]

stevie ray vaughan has a live album and i don't have it? i must correct this oversight.

[sodamntired]

Moxy Fruvos - Live Noise

[Hyphnip]

I'm goign with NIN- & all that could have been. Amazing!

[slegros]

He has two actually there is a double disc of live at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1982 & 1985. Plus during the first disc the crowd BOOs him after every song, which is sad because he is an amazing guitar player. In the 1985 disc however they love him because he is more established. It just goes to show that some people cannot accept pure talent if they haven't heard any of the artisits songs on the radio

i've heard about him being booed at montreux. snobby idiots. i have the live at el maocambo dvd on my computer, but i don't have any live albums, just a few random live songs on the end of his albums. actually, i listened to "live without you" on the end of 'in step' last night for the first time where he stops half way through and gives a speech about how glad he is to be alive and recovered. that put a huge lump in my throat.

[Manchalivin]

I haven't heard many live albums but from what I've heard the best I think are some Incubus bootlegs and Sarah Mclachlan's Mirrorball. It's fantastic.

[cweb]

i'm gonna say Stage by David Bowie.

 

as far as bootlegs go, i quite enjoy the Pixies bootleg i have of them playing a show in Minneapolis (4.13.04). or this old U2 bootleg from 1987, during the Joshua Tree days.

[juanpe]

one of the best live CDs i've ever heard is Placebo's Live in Rock am Ring (04.06.2006)

 

great sound, great voice and great music ;)

[Some Random]

sweet enola gay, sons! this matthew good acoustic bootleg is making a run for my favorite live album ever. and it's a bootleg! who ever recorded it deserves some kinda medal.

[HoboFactory]

Modest Mouse's "Baron Von Bullshit Rides Again" is pretty good.
