I need a live great recording

Here are some of my best-sounding live pop/rock CDs:

1) James Taylor "Live (1992)"
2) Elton John "Live in Australia"
3) Eric Clapton "24 nights"
4) Grateful Dead "Without a Net"
5) Bela Fleck/Flecktones "Live Art"

Allan Holdsworth's CD called ALL NIGHT WRONG...a trio, so its very uncluttered. He had his hands even on microphone placement. Chad Wakerman on drums and I cant remember the bass player,,Its expensive though,,,from audiophile imports.

Oh! JImmy Johnson on bass...;-)

You will not be dissapointed!!!

I really enjoy a lot of Keith Jarrett's work on ECM, and much of it was recorded live. Highlights include: Up For It (the most recent Trio disc), La Scala (solo), Köln Concert (solo), Whisper Not (Trio in Paris, 2-disc), The Cure (Trio, Town Hall, New York), and so many more.

Also on ECM, Pat Metheny Group - Travels is excellent. The new release by the Dave Holland Quintet - Extended Play: Live at Birdland, is a great display of musical fireworks by the best current working band in jazz.

On the Telarc label, Ray Brown - Live at Scullers; beautiful and energetic straight-ahead jazz. Concord released a 2-CD set of 3 LP's from the 80's, featuring Brown's Triple Scoop trio, with guest John Frigo on violin, also very good.

Rush's Exit Stage Left was the soundtrack of my teenage years, although I don't know about the quality of the recording.

There is a double CD of Bill Bruford's Earthworks concert in NYC which is phenomenal...sharp sharp!

Kurt Elling- Live in Chicago
