Mr Info Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Lou Reed - Rock n Roll Animal Dec 21, 1973 Academy of Music NYC Intro/Sweet Jane is arguably the best of any album start either live or studio. There is no video of the original gig but someone dubbed the album recording with Lou & his band playing Intro/Sweet Jane in Paris in early ‘74. Gives a good perspective of live Lou.

How did I forget this. Reed had a lot of influence on later artists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 This was only released as a video and not as an album, but I wanted to throw it out there .... Van Halen - Live Without a Net. It's a complete concert from New Haven, CT from their 5150 tour (their first with Sammy Hagar). I remember watching it with buddies on VHS shortly after it came out. Phenomenal concert, but surprisingly short (12 songs, a drum solo, bass solo and guitar solo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Bob Seger - Live Bullet- Probably my top five favorite albums of all time, studio or live. Caught Seger in his prime. A lot of awesome covers on the album. Also got me through some tough times in my life. Lynyrd Skynyrd- One More From The Road - Free Bird alone makes this one a classic. But they were such a tight band. Call Me the Breeze, Tuesdays' Gone. Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom - Aside from the social significance of it, I love how it's not just a "Greatest Hits" live compilation. He played songs for the inmates that spoke to them and what they were going through. Paul McCartney Back in the US - It came out around 2002 or so. Probably nothing historically significant. Just a compilation of shows he did on a tour. But it spans everything from Beatles, to Wings, to his solo career up until that point. I was just starting to become a huge Beatles fan when it came out and my dad got it for me for Christmas. I had a CD that I downloaded from Limewire back in the day. Don't think it was technically an album. But it was a bootleg of a concert Elton John did in the late 90s, at Carnegie Hall or something I believe. Just Elton and a piano with nothing else.

Philly McButterpants Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 All of my personal favorites have been mentioned with the exception of: The Kinks - One For the Road. That album made the summer of 1980 for me. U2 - Live At Red Rocks - That version of Bad is one of the best things i've ever heard. When i saw Genesis in '07 they were offering a soundboard recording of that night's concert at themusic.org. So i have that and it's really well done. Last, the bootleg i have of the opening night of Rush's R30 Tour in Nashville is fantastic and my favorite live "album" of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first I'd ever heard of STP and the only song I'd ever heard from them. So I went out and bought "Core." Holy ***** was I surprised at what it was. I was expecting acoustic rock, LOL.
