I really like live recordings! Something about nowhere to hide.......
Right now, I really like Eva Cassidy's "Live at Blues Alley". A simply stunning vocal performance!
Patricia Barber's "Companion" is really nice. Both the PB and EC disk give you that "you are there" feeling.
To understand The Indigo Girl's, I suggest their live "2000 Curfews" 2-disk set. Nice!! It puts me back in the front row every time I listen to it.
Of course there are the old classics like Little Feats "Waiting for Columbus". How disappointing to find out years later that it was "doctored up" significantly in the studio.
Don't know the album they originally came from, but there are some live cuts on Willie Nelsons "Revolutions of time" compilation that I think are outstanding. Of course, you might need to be a Willie fan to enjoy them!
Enjoy,
