Top 10 Live Albums

Final "+11" shoutout for Santana-"Moonflower"

I have 2 I listen to regularly as I am not a live album aficionado- sinatra at the sands and rust never sleeps.

Joan Baez in Concert, V1 and V2

And on a completely different note, the first full length stereo recording still extant:

Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto, The Emperor, performed in Berlin during an air raid, by Gieseking and conducted by Artur Rother, or Varese Sarband.

An historical note: I understand that the Telefunken tape recorder was ’liberated’ and shipped to the USA for reverse engineering, which formed the backbone of the modern recording industry. But I could be wrong.

2 live sides of Eat a Peach, my favorite Duane solos, phenomenal range and emotion 

Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival 1972

Bill Evans, "The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 1961"

John Handy Quintet, "Live at the Monterey Jazz Festival, 1965"

David  Bromberg Band, "How Late’ll Ya Play Til?"

Here are more favorites I forgot to add.  Couldn’t keep my list to just 10.

Cowboy Junkies - Long Journey Home

Bob Dylan / The Band - Before The Flood

Miles Davis - Agharta
