live albums

[Rudy Tamasz]

Just want to share. Been listening to 'Live at Atlanta International' by Allman Brothers Band and it's mindblowing stuff. Raw power of rock'n'roll, bluesy feel and amazing jazz inspired jamming. If somebody could play the same old blues rock harmonies in a fresh way, it's these guys. But my overall point is that it's live shows that often set musicians' feelings and thinking free and help them make really brilliant music as opposed to overproduced studio albums.

I also like Deep Purple live albums: 'Made in Japan', 'Live at Olympia' and a bootleg of their show in my hometown.

Do you folks often listen to live albums? What albums do you like?

Muse - H.A.A.R.P (comes with a DVD too which is awesome)

I've got a John Lee Hooker live at Newport album and a Counting Crows album too but not really that brilliant. Much prefer to have a studio album with the odd live track most of the time but don't really know why.

Woodstock - Jimi Hendrix
How The West Was Won - Led Zeppelin
Alchemy - Dire Straits

The other day I was playing Rammstein - Live aus Berlin in my car and couldn't hear anything properly...the mixing is the problem with live stuff sometimes...

The Who - Live at the Isle of Wight Festival

It's a very raw recording, not all touched up and pansied about like live at leeds.

Megadeth - Live at Wembley

Another great recording, great show, great setlist, great everything.

Genesis - Live at Wembley

Another wembley classic, bloody brilliant.

PbC - if you like Megadeth and their live shows, I hope you get the DVD
That One Night - Live in Buenos Aires
One word - Amazing!
Great sound, great set-list, great performance and the crowd is nuts!

[Rudy Tamasz]

I like heavy metal live records, too. Sometimes musicians play it much heavier and more powerful than in studio. 'If You Want Blood You Got It' by AC/DC and 'Live Priest' by Judas Priest are the examples.

Of course I forgot to mention the double CD I have...AC/DC Live at Donnington
Fun!

Dream Theater- Live Scenes from New York and Live at Budokan are fantastic, must get Score.
Pain of Salvation- 12:5, amazing acoustic live set, some of the songs ae better here than in full electric on the albums.
Threshold- Critical Energy, so much more power to the music live than on most of their albums.
Red Hot Chili Peppers- Live in Hyde Park
Genesis- Live
Queensryche- Operation: LIVEcrime
Marillion- Real to Reel
The Gathering- Sleepy Buildings, Superheat

Very much agree on the Dream Theater, Jordan Rudess is god.

I was at the Hyde Park show, bloody brilliant show it was, and the CD does it justice.

iirc the CD had songs from some other UK shows too, while the DVD was all Donington. All brilliant and reccomended.

This is great also, however I prefer the rust in peace lineup so much more.

Megadaves new guitarist is a lot like Marty Friedman, seen them at Brixton earlier in the year, easily the best of the 3 lineups I have seen since 2005.

And who's their new axeman? Must be some talent. It's difficult othrewise to occupy the place of Friedman and Pitrelli.

Chris Broderick - He was in Jag Panzer and played with Nevermore.....Lets see how he does on an album though..
