No this is not a thread for the band Live. This is a thread for live bands, albums, performances, everything. So I'll start off the discussion.

I'm on my fifth live album this week. I just heard 3 live Zep bootlegs and The Song Remains the Same. Now I'm on "At Fillmore East" by my favorite Southern rock group, The Allman Brothers. Personally, I can't get into the album like other people can. It's got flair, but it's not comparable to At Folsom Prison or the Song Remains the Same.

I believe that Grateful Dead are the greatest live band of all time, and Live/Dead is their best official live album(from what I've heard).

The only other 2 that I really feel are the best representations of the artists work, and the peak of their music, are Live at Roseland NYC by Portishead, and Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads.

Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads
This (As Frogger already mentioned).

I tend to just put on a video of the actual show and watch it instead of listening to the album nowadays.

Johnny Cash's "At San Quentin" is one of the finest pieces of live work I've ever heard.



Also, in case nobody's mentioned it yet, Stop Making Sense.

Something so interesting about hearing a more genuine pain in Ian's voice.

Live At The Old Quarter by Townes Van Zandt

also because its the album that introduced me to who I think is the best live Folk singer/story teller around.

I heard Elvis' 1968 live album (from the NBC TV special) for the first time yesterday. Say what you want about the guy as an artist, but damn... dude could sing.
