NoJ Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Recently picked up Tom Petty's "Pack Up the Plantation" after not listening to it since the late 1980s. Great great stuff....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 • Cheap Trick at Budokon• Little Feat - Waiting for Colombus And less well-known, but just as wonderful: • Brinsley Schwarz - Cruel to be KindIt's Nick Lowe's early/mid-70's band with Ian Gomm and a nice chunk of the musicians that would form the core of The Rumour, who would back up Graham Parker on his best stuff. Consists of a bunch of stuff that they recorded for the BBC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Frank Zappa, You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol 2. I used to be a Zappa fanatic. I still enjoy going through the back catalog now and then, but my favorite Zappa band was the one with George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Tom Fowler, Chester Thompson, and Ruth Underwood, in the early 70s. (Covering mainly these studio albums: Apostrophe, Over-nite Sensation, and One size fits all.) Anyways, this album is from a series of three concerts in Helsinki in 1974, from which he took the guitar solo for Inca Roads and put it on the studio album. The musical talent is astounding. Roxy and Elsewhere is another live-compilation album from basically the same band. Great stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 ^ The Helsinki show is definitely one of my all time favorite live albums.I'll add The Song Remains the Same, Live at Leeds (the extended one), and both of the Band's (I prefer Rock of Ages to the Last Waltz save for a few tracks) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dark Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yup the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East is still the go to live album... even though Duane went back and overdubbed a few parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 • Cheap Trick at BudokonYes! One of my first albums as a kid. Also: Husker Du - The Living EndMagnolia Electric Co. - Trials and ErrorsThe Black Lips - Los Valientes del Mundo Nuevo (probably my favorite live recording; sounds great and captures the energy of their live show perfectly. recorded in Tijuana, which helps.) Also, would be remiss to not mention Kicking Television... but we all know about that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Whoa, I don't know where to even start with this list. Ok, I do know where to start, but I can probably keep on going endlessly. It all starts with the one and only: Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore. The daddy of them all. But would also think of listing this as The Fillmore Concerts for the inclusion of Mountain Jam and One Way Out from Eat A Peach Then, in no particular order: Europe '72Lou Reed, Rock n Roll Animal (is anything better than Steve Hunter's guitar intro to Sweet Jane?)Live DeadTalking Heads, Stop Making SenseStones, Ya Ya'sDominoes, Live at the FillmoreNRPS, Home Home on the RoadLittle Feat, Waiting for ColumbusClapton and Winwood, Live at MSGKicking Television (of course)The Band, Rock of AgesCSN&Y-Four Way StreetNeil and Crazy Horse, whatever the live album is called There's many more I could probably list but I do have to get back to work.

Great stuff.Oh, hell yeah.Some of the later releases are pretty stellar too, like Imaginary Diseases (instrumental) and Philly '76, which I believe is the only album featuring Bianca Odin on vocals.The version of Ancient Armaments on Halloween is pretty top shelf too.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Also, since we have some love for Cheap Trick at Budokan, how about some love for the band they were opening for? Kiss Alive!Come on, that version of Parasite is awesome... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shug Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 In addition to many already mentioned (Allmans, Stones, My Morning Jacket, Derek and Dominoes): Van Morrison - Its Too Late To Stop Nowat his probable performing peak (1973 from the St. Dominic's Preview tour I believe)with a very good band and a very good recording Dylan/The Band - Before The Flood intense yet clear singing from Zimmy with the Band wailing behind him. Great rock arrangements of many Dylan classics. (I love Hard Rain, too, but the recording is kinda poor quality. Performances are on fire, though) Humble Pie - King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents: In Concert Humble Pie Live 1973 I like this one better than Rockin' the Fillmore 1971 because Peter Frampton isn't there anymore to dilute Steve Marriott's hard boogie rock vision.

Shug Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yup the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East is still the go to live album... even though Duane went back and overdubbed a few parts Did these overdubs get taken off for the Fillmore Concerts reissue of the same performances? I know Tom Dowd edited different performances into a single take, some consider that a travesty, I'd imagine. Also I love Grateful Dead Europe '72 but so much was overdubbed, I don't really consider it a true live album, even though it contains, for me, the definitive recordings of a bunch of songs (Tennessee Jed, Ramble On Rose, Brown Eyed Women, etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
