Media Center >The Greatest Live Albums ever recorded. Who ya got?
scho63 05:09 AM 04-23-2020
I realize that bands like the Beatles had no real "live" albums and it started around the late 70's - early 80's.
So who has the greatest LIVE albums?
I'll start with the (3) that made the most impact on me:
1. Kiss ALIVE!
2. Frampton Comes Alive!
3. Ted Nugent Double Live Gonzo!
Maybe it was the "exclamation points" that did it for me!
:-)
What live stuff rocked your world?
:-)
EDIT: Bootlegs prior to real LIVE albums don't count. Having someone steal Hendrix before he ever made his own live album doesn't count.

Not ashamed - something about being 10 years old, and discovering Kiss Alive/Kiss Alive II, made such an impact on me.....

Love Live Albums, but if I were FORCED to pick ONLY ONE. . . . Jazz at the Pawnshop
If for no other reason that it's one of the best mastered recordings in world history

I'm not usually a fan of live albums but the one I like most and is in regular rotation is Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Nocturne". It has great sound and, unlike the vast majority of live albums, the songs on it are as good or better than the studio originals. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a perfect "10" is that I'm not a big fan of the song "Eve White/Eve Black".
