The 100 Greatest Live Albums Ever


Recommended Posts

Some they missed that are my favorites:

 

Frampton Comes Alive-Peter Frampton

Without A Net-Grateful Dead

Live Dead-Grateful Dead

Slip Stitch Pass-Phish

Live and Dangerous-Thin Lizzy

Pat Metheny Group-Travels Live

 

I'm not huge on live albums, but if I get that vibe of the room etc., then i dig 'em.

I'm surprised Throwing Copper didn't make the list.

:rolleyes

Oh now feel it comin' back again

Like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind

Forces pullin' from the center of the earth again

I can feel it

Where the hell is 'The J Giels Band - Live Full House'? Best live album ever.

I don't know about "best", but if Full House or Live Dead isn't in the top 100 this list is shit.

Unless I just missed it, I was very surprised that Rush in Rio made the list and not Exit... Stage Left. Otherwise, with a couple of other exceptions, not a bad list.

 

I also prefer Exit, but if I recall, the band has admitted to extensive studio fix-ups on that one. Not that Amazon cares about such things.

I would swap Talking Heads' "The name of this band is" for "Stop Making Sense"

 

Also - Zappa's You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol II is a killer concert recording. (Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life and Make a Jazz Noise Here also deserve mention.)

 

There's also several "__________ live at the BBC" albums that weren't listed: Beatles, Kinks, Bowie, Hendrix, Zeppelin, XTC...

Ummm...no Little Feat or Allman Bros., WTF. Okonokos is a big omission too. And since jazz was fair game, why not Jazz At Massey Hall aka The Greatest Concert Ever Played?

Since it is Amazon.com, I would think that list is based on sales (in this case Mp3 downloads.) One of our old threads about live albums is probably better, but that one may be more diverse, actually.

 

Yeah, a music list on Amazon carries as much weight as "Top Ten McDonald's Menu Items" on mcdonalds.com
