Winston Legthigh Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would add Zappa's You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Volume 2, the Helsinki concert. Excellent show with a great lineup.Also, any live Coltrane. I know this is a thread on rock albums, but Coltrane rocks. Seriously. That band was his best, IMHO. Isn't that the show that he culled for the Inca Roads solo on One Size Fits All? Great Googly Moogly he really ripped that one. I keep holding my breath for the Roxy DVD.

keeprockalive88 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 You can't forget Zappa In New York, though... Classic! Also, the newer release of stuff he did with the Petite Wazoo live "Imaginary Diseases" is fantastic!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Since I really really prefer the 67-71 version of The Mothers, I would have to go with one of the live cds featuring the old stuff. A giant listing of live albums. Disregarding the shit I said yesterday - some more I like: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in ConcertAbsolutely Live Under a Blood Red SkyUriah Heep LiveUnleashed in the EastLive at the Boston Tea Party, Vols. 1-3 Wings over AmericaBless Its Pointed Little HeadLive at Last Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatheadfred Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Here's 25 of my favorites, in no particular order (rock only): Leon Russell - Leon Live I'm a big fan of the genre but never got into Leon. Can't explain why either. I am found dumb, dumbfounded, if you will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Speaking of Leon Russell - who I am not all that fond of either - Mad Dogs and Englishmen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the newer release of stuff he did with the Petite Wazoo live "Imaginary Diseases" is fantastic!!That is a great one. This one is worth a mention: Ian Hunter-Welcome to the Club.Also Jethro Tull: Bursting Out A giant listing of live albums. My God. ABBA put out a live album? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That is a great one. This one is worth a mention: Ian Hunter-Welcome to the Club.Also Jethro Tull: Bursting Out Love the Ian Hunter Live one as well as the remixed, re-released extended Mott The Hoople Live one. I used to like Jethro Tull quite a bit in the 1970's, but I never cared for Bursting Out, it just never grabbed me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I can't believe I forgot both Ian Hunter and J. Geils. Ian Live and Full House have always got spins here. Nice calls dudes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 That band was his best, IMHO. Isn't that the show that he culled for the Inca Roads solo on One Size Fits All? Great Googly Moogly he really ripped that one. Yep, that was the one. The YCDTOSA version has the complete solo, though the sound quality is different. I keep holding my breath for the Roxy DVD. I'll come look for the blue guy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus is one of the best live albums ever.Absolutely.... BB Kings "Live at Cook County Jail" is pretty good too.It sure is, but it is a blues album, not a rock album. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheelco Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I know folks here will hate on it, because it's the indie way, but Yessongs (1973) was a monster electric jam out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalzunfield Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Did I miss the Grateful Dead's "Europe 72" on that list or am I blind? Same goes for Frampton Comes Alive. Also, I've never really dug Kicking Television enough that I would think it'd be on a list like this. And my #1 will probably always be "And The Name Of This Band Is..." Especially the recently expanded Rhino edition. It's really a perfect live release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Did I miss the Grateful Dead's "Europe 72" on that list or am I blind? Same goes for Frampton Comes Alive. I dig those - but they are not exactly live. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Sitting in front of some of My cd's here are a few more good ones: Many don't care fr it, but I like it because of it's raggedness: Aerosmith Live Bootleg.Genesis Seconds Out - No Peter but very majestic sounding. Good Prog Rock.Concert For BangladeshJoe Jackson - Big World Joe Jackson - Live 80/86Black Crowes/Jimmy Page Live at the GreekSkynyrd - One More from the RoadBob Marley LiveMetallica S&M - Love the symphony with their music Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I dig those - but they are not exactly live.Yeah. Europe is a great record, but I left it off my list for that reason. Same with Skullfuck - Merl overdubbed organ parts in the studio (esp. Wharf Rat). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I read somewhere - maybe in the Kiss book when they were talking about all the work done on Alive 1 and II, that Frampton Comes Alive was actually mostly re-done in the studio. I never knew that. I don't own that one, but, I think Lines On My Face is a great song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think for the 70's this was not too uncommon. Still love WFC though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
