Anyone dig live albums as much as I?
Any live album actually, whether you bootlegged it yourself, know some tapers, or have officially released ones, name a few of your favorites.
Mine are:
Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium by Rage Against The Machine
08.07.02 (Salamanca, Spain) - Radiohead
07.11.03 (Mansfield, Massachusetts) - Pearl Jam
Live At Luther College by Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds _________________ This ain't no holiday, but it always turns out this way.
Some people dont consider it a live album but Thin Lizzy: Live and Dangerous is excellent. _________________ "Its so easy to laugh, its so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind"
Bob Dylan 1975 Rolling Thunder Review is a great live album. As on a lot of Dylan live shows he does different arrangements for the songs and in this album a lot of them are superior to the originals (Isis, Romance in Durango, Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol etc), its also cool to hear him with Joan Baez again. _________________ "Its so easy to laugh, its so easy to hate.

Yeah, Woodstock is a pretty good shout as the best concert in history and not just for Hendrix as obviously there were a lot of other great performances including Ravi Shankar, The Who, The Band etc.
'The Wall: Live in Berlin' 1990 is another legendary concert/live album, maybe not only for the musicianship but also for the whole sense of occasion...I think that's also true of Woodstock, behind the great music is a real sense of something more powerful. Of course, 1969 is a whole different occasion but I think you know what I mean.
James Brown Live at the Apollo and Stop Making Sense are both great, but come on, it's pretty hard to beat Live at Folsom Prison by Johhny Cash. That's my pick for best live album ever. I also have to say that the Bob Dylan Live 1966 vol.4 bootleg series album is pretty amazing.
