Top 10 Live Albums

So many excellent choices, that I will try to add something new.  

For rock, LITTLE FEAT - Waiting For Columbus.  This is a truly excellent recording and very nicely recorded.  Its one of my go-to test albums 

Here's  one not mentioned:  JOHN MCLAUGHLIN AND SHAKTI - their first album.  It is a tour de force of musicianship, coupled with outrageously good recording technique.  This is a masterpiece. eerie and enlighlening interactions with Zakir Hussain (RIP), L Shankar on violin and McLaughlin with his customized acoustic 

PATRICIA BARBER - COMPANION:  This is one of the regular test albums.  A wonderfully recorded live gig, with great frequency range, soundstage, and on good equipment, the ability to put you right there in the club.

Last one - HOT TUNA - Live At The New Orleans House, Berkeley - fine recording in a club atmosphere, 

David Bowie - David Live from 1974.

FYI, here's a video performance of one of the tunes from that first Shakti album, from the same era, this one live at Montreux:

@stuartk , I have seen the YouTube videos of Shakti performing, and they are excellent. However, I have seen shakti both at Berkeley performance center in Boston and at the Orpheum in Boston for their first and second tours. Truly mind blowing experience that I will never forget!
