I tend to like "live" recordings if done right...but these are often hit and miss...any suggestions?...open to all genres...for those fans of Portishead...live in NYC is a great show and an excellent recording to boot...also...Live at Leeds is considered by many to be the ultimate live rock recording...however...I was not that impressed with the latest remaster...somebody mentioned BB king live at the Regal on another post...is this really that good?
Grateful Dead - Dozin' At The Knick Grateful Dead - Nightfall of Diamonds Dave Matthews Band - Live At Red Rocks Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds - Live At Luther College Allison Krauss + Union Station - Live Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore recordings
Jeffmazen, good call on One From The Vault. Best of the 3 Vault releases so far, both in sonics and visuals. IMHO
I love good live performances. Here are some of my favorites:
Patricia Barber-Companion I have not liked any other PB records that I've heard, but Companion is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite records. This is an inspired performance and a very good recording.
Eva Cassidy-Live at Blues Alley Already mentioned above
BoDeans-Joe Dirt Car A very good live rock show by a hard working touring band
Indigo Girls-1200 Curfews Nice Doulbe Album. A compilation from many different live sources. Most of it is well recorded and Amy and Emily are really great performers. This was recorded several years ago before "the Girls" became political. I haven't heard a good Indigo Girls record since 1200 Curfews.
Grand Funk Railroad - Bosnia. The sound is great on this CD. Also, you can tell the musicianship of the players has matured over the past 30 years. Compare it to the Live album released in 71 and you can see a day and night difference.
