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.

Joni Mitchell - "Miles of Aisles" w/ Tom Scott and the LA Express

Grateful Dead - "Nightful of Diamonds", ANY of the "Dick's Picks", "Live Dead"

Allman Brothers Band - "Live at Fillmore East", "Mountain Jam" (same night as the Fillmore recording, released on "Eat A Peach"

BTW: Anyone know if any of the Allman's or Deads's efforts at Watkins Glen (7/73 Summer Jam) ever make it out? Other than the Dead's soundcheck tapes from the day before.

Try Tom Waits - "Nighthawks at the Diner". You can practically smell the cigarettes and booze.
John Prine - "Live" is well worth seeking out. As is the Cowboy Junkies - "The Trinity Sesssions" - no audience but recorded live in Trinity Church, Toronto - fabulous sonics.
I also like Ricki Lee Jones - "Naked Songs".
Enjoy.

Lokie,

wall of sound was 74 dead. That said, the majority of 77 is excellent. I would suggest you listen to the dick's picks with the Lakeland show.
More to discover
