... Best Live Recordings ( other than Classical or Opera) on CD...

Hello to all...

I luv testing stereo equipment - and I think one of the best ways to tell just how resolving a recording is IF IT WAS RECORDED LIVE! ( not only how the music sounds, but how the ambience of the venue sounds, and if the clapping/hooting that happens sounds really real...)

What are your favorites? Please send suggestions... ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE DDD.

I'll start with one of my Favorites:
STOP MAKING SENSE: Talking Heads ( done DDD in the late 80's, remaster/reissued late 1999)

... thanks for your replys...

Teng and Chapin-Carpenter will be investigated; have heard Zappa and  have the Zappa's "Yellow Shark" live - although it is recorded well, I find the content of it unengaging... Any other Zappas LIVE I might have missed out on? ( re recordings: one of my favorite Zappa tunes is "Invocation and  Ritual Dance of the Young Pumpkin")...

 Thanks bdp24 - I'll check these out;  should search around ( I just moved) and find my copy of "Rock Of Ages", which I have never really listened to on CD, by the Band (one of my teen-life favorite bands, along with The Byrds, Seals and Crofts, Willie Nelson, and an emerging Elton John)...
