The Best Live album

A few of my favs:
Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club
Alison Krauss/Union Station Live
Roger Waters' The Wall Live in Berlin
King Curtis Live at the Fillmore West
Live Stock by Roy Buchanan

If you like Dave Brubeck you have to own Bravo Brubeck, there is something very engaging about his music and this is a terrific performance with very nice song selections.

I too very much like Eva Cassidy's Live at Blues Alley and her amazing voice.. but just prefer the style of Brubeck so I list it first.

A few that weren't mentioned

John Hiatt "Hiatt comes alive at Budokan" a great rocking version of some of his best songs. Great rock.

Doc Watson "Doc and the Boys" and Doc & Merle Watson "Live and picking" a two-fer CD which will recharge your musical batteries.

Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby" part of the Village Vanguard live series.

Townes Van Zandt "Live at the Old Quarter" my first introduction to how a great songwriter can hold an audience

Richard Thompson "Small Town Romance" only accoustic though, and his live electric is the best.

I can't say any is best but depending on the mood they are great.

Speaking of Brubeck, my favorite live LP is We're All Together Again For The First Time.

This LP was recorded in 1972 in Germany and the drum solo by Alan Dawson on Take Five is one of my favorites of them all.
The audience enthusiasm is excellent on the selections on side two.

I also like Live at Blues Alley;
Jimi Hendrix: Live at Winterland
Ray Brown: Summer Wind
Stanley Clark & Billy Cobham: Live at the Greek
Patricia Barber: Companion

Nils Lofgren- "Acoustic Live" ** keith don't go **
Done in 1998 The Right Stuff Label. Should be in any audophile library.
