Best live album you've ever heard?

This is certainly inspired by the album that is kickin' it very LOUD here. I have many many live albums by every one from A-Z, but NONE come close to this one except Johnny Winter And Live, or the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. The Stones' Get Your Ya Ya's Out has to be the best live rock'n'roll album ever. God bless Mick Taylor. I live in a concrete block house, and it is still shakin'. If any of you know of a better live recording than these, please fill me in. Thanks, Tom

Rich,

How did I ever manage to miss that?!

Crenshaw, Thompson and Dixon all fall on my very, very short list of favorites.

Thanks for the update - but it would have been a bit more useful 15 years ago!

In re Richard Thompson at St Ann's

Are you referring to an early/mid '90's show with Mitchell Froom on keys and Danny Thompson on acoustic bass?

That was a wonderful show -BUT - I have to admit that I still prefer the "plugged in" performances. Nothing like RT the guitar hero.

One great live album ... try Acoustic Alchemy's "Sounds of St. Lucia" ... great beginning-to-end CD, and "Flamoco Loco" (7:54), to cite just one track, will put a big smile on your face!

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane - Live at Carnegie Hall - a highpoint of Western music if there ever was one.
