The Best Live album

What are some good live albums/cds you own? Good sound is a nice bonus.

You may put down whatever you want such as "Get your ya ya's out", but are there some maybe we haven't all heard about yet?

The best I have bought lately is Delbert McClinton, "Live", a 2 CD set of a concert in Norway. Just excellent blues big band. I mean this album just smokes, Oh yeaahh, with excellent sound to boot.

Wildoats,

Most of the Village Vanguard recordings that I have heard are of excellent quality, particularly the Coltrane and Evans sessions, which are not to be missed. The complete Vanguard sessions with Coltrane were released in a 4-CD box set a few years ago. Great stuff.

Many great suggestions, especially Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal. Some of my favorites:

Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore East
Humble Pie, Rockin The Filmore
Bonnie Raitt, Road Tested
Eric Clapton , Crossroads 2
SRV, box set
ACDC, Live and If you want Blood.

Rock On

I checked out Dick's Pick and was wowed. Any, recommendations from our Dead friends? Also, does anyone know of any other sites or bands that offer this kind of live recordings? I would love to find some old JJ Cale, Allman Bros, Van Morrison, etc...

I need to add 4 more great live albums.
1) 'California Concert' with George Benson, Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, Hank Crawford, Johnny Hammond, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham and Airto. CTI records, double album, 1971.
2) 'Live AT The Apollo' by James Brown. King records, 1963.
3) 'Live at the Monterey jazz Festival-John Handy'. Columbia records, 1965.
4) 'Stop Making Sense' by Talking Heads (a great concert movie as well),Sire records, 1984.
It's the the Big Suit and the music that keeps me together!
