Best double live vinyl?


 

Growing up in the 60's and 70's was the height of double live vinyl and the double feature at the movie theater. I'm listening to before the flood - Mr. Zimmerman and the Band. After listening to side one it flips to four, that's just not right.

Having made the tragic mistake of selling my vinyl in ‘84, i began collecting again about two years ago.

 I made an effort to find three double live albums which had been in my collection and they didn’t disappoint.

The Allman Brothers band “Eat a Peach,”

Little Feat “Waiting for Columbus” and,

The Tubes, “What Do You Want from Live.”

my tastes changed over the decades.

More recent doubles include Explosions in the Sky, Eno, Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson.

 

My personal FAVORITE ?  Little Feat.

Scott Sharrard is the name of the guy who stands in for Lowell George now. A google search shows that he's got an impressive resume. I was impressed enough to order his solo cd, "Rustbelt", from Immediate Family Records. I can't find it on vinyl.

Yes Songs come to mind, or Frampton Live, or Joni Mitchell, Miles of Isles!

Many great live albums from the 1970’s. The reason for my selection is it infuses many genres of music to perfection!

Santana-Lotus(3Lp’s)

Since the OP wanted a 2Lp live recording I better follow the rules.

Renaissance-Live At Carnegie Hall

A lot of people are mentioning Little Feat’s ‘Waiting For Columbus’. I will agree that the recording is pretty good for when it was recorded but I saw Jean Luc Ponty at the Lisner Auditorium and that hall has the worse acoustics of any hall I’ve been in.

It’s an engineering marvel that anything could be recorded at Lisner Auditorium given how the sound bounces around like it’s in a pin ball machine.
