Best live album you've ever heard?

Mahalia Jackson's "Live at Newport 1958" still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus", Bob Marley's "Live" of 1976 and Wes Montgomery's "Smokin at the Half Note" are some of my other favourites.

Procol Harum - Live with the Edmonton Symphony - Stellar versions of Conquistador and Salty Dog!...Everyone who has heard this album (at my place) agrees with this assessment. Outstanding performance...

Wow, it's been 3 years since I first suggested Johnny Winter And Live on this thread, and I see it's still meeting agreement with some. How I failed to include Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys is beyond me, absolutely great. And I would think by now, Jimi's set at Maui for the Rainbow Bridge movie is out officially. The live uncut version of Hey Baby/Land Of The New Rising Sun is great! 35 years later I still miss what Jimi was giving us. A bunch have tried, but no one has matched Jimi when he was into it. As for Johnny, most don't recognise Progressive Blues Experiment as a live album, but it was actually recorded live on stage at the Vulcan Gas Company, with no audience. For a small Texas label called Sonobeat, which pressed a hundred or so copies in 1968 before being sold to Liberty Records in 1969. The new remaster on Capitol (CD) is excellent, and far superior to previous releases by numerous labels. I highly reccomend this remaster to anyone who likes Johnny. Tom trich727

Lots of great performances listed but I missed seeing Allman Brothers "Live at The Fillmore East". Not a dog on the 2-lp set.
