The Best Live album

Treyhoss,

I totally disagree about "Rush in Rio". I do like the song selection, but I think sonically it sounds like one big, continuous crowd roar. Personally, I wish they had mik'd it differently and gotten more of Rush and less of the crowd.

I'm a huge Rush fan since the 70's and I listened to R-i-R once and promptly sold it.

Now, "All the worlds a stage" is another story! Still listen to it after all these years.......

Of course, "to each his own..." applies here!

Enjoy,

Nine Inch Nails - All That Could Have Been. Not everybody's cup of tea, and not something to necessarily and listen closely to end-to-end, but excellent recording and pretty awesome for what it is. The DVD is excellent as well.

1) Harry Belafonte - Live at Carnegie Hall is the best live record I have ever heard. His rapport with the audience is wonderful, he is in great voice, and the song selection is perfect. But make sure you get the two cd set otherwise this wonderful recording is butchered by edits.

2) Cannonball Adderley - in Sanfrancisco at the Jazz Workshop. The playing on this set of tunes is fantastic. These brothers personified the sound at the time and they were fantastic.

3) Bob Seger - Live Bullet, yes the sound does suck but the energy and the performance is out of this world. I know what you're thinking, you are thinking SH_ _ I've known that for ten years.

Here are a couple of favorites:
LOVE-"The Forever Changes Concert"
Steeleye Span-"Tonight's the Night"
