the microphones live in japan
when the balls drop by les savy fav is quite good.
The Name of this Band is Talking Heads
Live at Royal Albert Hall - Spiritualized
A smidge obvious
but Jeff Buckley - Mystery White Boy
Kick Out The Jams!!!
I like alot of the Hendrix live stuff as well.
Kiss - Alive & Alive 2
alive one is the 'classic' but alive 2 has the best songs.
both are infamously overdubbed
^5
Alive is ace.
haha
i knew it were you soapy
:D
y'know what else is great ... perhaps too good to be true ... Kiss Symphony (Alive 4)
kiss with a fully made up orchestra in some stadium looking place in australia. amazing.
I came in to say those two
plus Siouxsie and the Banshees' Nocturne
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
The only Lizzy you need.
Also:
Ani DiFranco - So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense / The Name Of This Band...
That Petrol Emotion - Final Flame
Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner
Pete Green - Live at the Cornubia, Bristol (ok, this is a bootleg, but you can get it free from his site, so...)
Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963
Oh, and James Brown
Live at the Apollo 1962 is the "classic" one, Love Power Peace is probably better though...
Oh oh, and Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps. Obviously.
Didn't think I'd see any Ani DiFranco mentions in here
but yep, that's a great live one. I love Disc 2 especially.
Mad for Sadness
Arab Strap
Oh yes!
DEFINITELY THIS ^
The Holdy Steady's got a very favourable review in DiS.
I really must get it though.
That Life Without Buildings one
INNIT.
agreed
also, kicking television by Wilco
radiohead
Space Ritual - Hawkwind
is my standard response for every time this thread comes up, I see no reason to change it.
what if you listened to Space Ritual Sundown
which was recorded on the same tour and realised that it's the superior version?
(especially sonic attack and time we left...)
ever heard it
way to make me look ignorant.
*Never
if you've got a version of space ritual on cd
with bonus tracks that are just alternative takes then the epic 15 minute improv of time we left is from this.
wow
it appears I do have that. Gonna have to give that another spin then. Nice.
swans are dead - swans
mc5 - kick out the jams
I saw swans are dead
You Goddamn Son Of A Bitch by Revolting Cocks
Clockwork by Oren Ambarchi is amazing
only eighteen minutes though- guess it wouldn't actually qualify as an "album"
MC5 - Kick Out The James
Cheap Trick - Live at the Budokan
Black Flag - Who's Got The 10 1/2?
The Stooges - Metallic K.O.
Mission of Burma - The Horrible Truth About Burma
* Jams
James can get the fuck out as well, while we're at it.
Also, that new Hold Steady one is great. I shouldn't feel guilty liking them, should I?
One more must have:
Neil Young - Weld
^^^^ 10 1/2 and Horrible Truth are amazing.
10 1/2 is better than Live 1984, right?
I can't be the only one who thinks this
yeah, pretty much
i'm 'wierd' though, i like the slow Black Flag alot.
Life Without Buildings
and also The Clash's From Here to Eternity which is maybe the best thing they have released.
It's good
but not that good
Lve at the hardback - HWM
Los Feliz - Chuck Regan
nine inch nails - and all that could have been
Thats good
but nothing is there anything on it that touches the live version of Hurt on Further Down...?
There isn't one, it's just a softer mix of it.
depends which version you have

Type O - Origin of the Feces
Is the first thing that popped into my mind. What a wonderfully ridiculous band, I love them to death. Actually, the Paranoid cover from that album is one of my favourite covers ever. I really do love them.
me too- we've been to a couple of their gigs- The keyboardist shows his ass to the crowd immediately after coming on stage.
and they really don't give two shits about the audience. In fact they at one show they purposely fucked with us and tried to piss us off. They had audience prompter signs which would flash words and phrases for us to chant like "YOU SUCK" or "BOO" and they played when you wish upon a star over and over again for 45 minutes before the show started- hilarious.
They do do the best covers in rock and have the ONLY true sense of humor in rock (since Zappa died).
the hendrix one
is Live in the West, by far his best album. It still hasn't been re-released on CD.
I used to make out with my high school sweetie in my Vs
in my VW to "Live In The West"
yeah, thanks for telling me the title- it is immensely rocking
actually
It's just called Hendrix in the West
On your copy is the tracklisting all wrong?

Pigpile by Big Black is great
"one, two, ONE TWO FUCK YOU!"
Fuck, I want to listen to this now, but I've no idea where my copy is.
Ramones - It's Alive
the 65daysofstatic
has a good vibe in it. all their best bits too.
Thrice - Live at The House of Blues
Maybe not a very DiS band, the set spans their whole career though, covering the early post hardcore stuff up to the ambient, acoustic stuff off the Alchemy Index. It's really great. And it's on Spotify.
http://open.spotify.com/album/0scnvH2uMnaSlxv1cH5A4s
Les Rallizes Denudes - Live 77

Kraftwerk - Minimum/Maximum
The Fall - In a Hole

The EP recorded in San Francisco has amazing sound but it's short
My Morning Jacket - Okonokos
and obvs Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong
john martyn - live at leeds

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense!
It's awesome!
IRON MAIDEN

Underworld - Everything Everything
thats a good un
Possibly the best live album I've heard
Stop Making Sense IS Awesome.
Nirvana - Unplugged. The highlight of all the Unplugged sessions.
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison.
Neil Young - Weld. Its like a how-to for rock guitar playing, 'Like A Hurricane' Wow :)
Portishead's Live NYC album is good too, just thought I'd mention it as I don't think anyone has but its good - some interesting versions.
Prince - Sign 'O' The Times (DVD)
Curtis Live
By Curtis Mayfield. Small club, small band, classic songs and a fired up crowd = superb live album.
If you want blood... you got it
AC DC. Includes the ultimate version of Whole Lotta Rosie and a song about the clap, what more do you want?
.
Suicide Live on cassette was pretty intense.
Nocturne by Siouxsie and The Banshees- is a gem
there's a live bonus "suicide live" on the S/T reissue that's great
Future Of The Left - Last Night I Saved Her From Vampires
Is fricking sweet
Joy Division
I only have a JD/NO live Peel Sessions comp -thing...but I gotta say I like JD better live than on album (where they always sound a bit flat).
semi-JAG. EATB Live In Liverpool. Siouxsie's Nocture is a gem: I'll second that motion.
The live stuff on Pavement re-issues. Lw/outB, yes. David Live. Kiss Alive, deffo; Kiss AliveII, pass.
Cheap Trick Live At Budokan
too.
Re How The West Was Won
is it better than Song Remains The Same?
Until now I thought it was some compilation: which made me wonder why it was so popular with Metacritic. Now I know.
its about 20 times better.
even a year after it came out the band admitted the Song soundtrack was shit. shabby performances throughout on that one.
it's a lot better
another i've just remembered:
Liveage - Descendents
i love the fact no one has mentioned muse at wembley
overrated?
Typically pretentious disliking of Muse
As it happens, though I'm reasonably snobbish about music, I will confess to being a big fan of Muse, and I think HAARP is a pretty enjoyable account of the Wembley gig.
Daft punk - alive 2007
Surely?
Alive 2007
is pretty much the pinnacle of live electronic music, it's a work of genius.
Mystery White Boy
By Jeff Buckley is good. I havent hear live at Sin-e so i dunno how they compare?
Here...
MC5 Kick Out The Jams ... Otis Redding At The Whisky ... James Brown At The Apollo 1 & 2 ... Dylan Live 1966 ... Stooges Metallic KO ... Neil Young & Crazy Horse Weld ... Lou Reed Take No Prisoners
The make Up - Destination Love : live at cold rice
Is my fav live album, utter genius !!! It was their first album and it was so good they didnt need to record any of the songs in a studio.
http://fatboydeluxe.com/blog/images/makeup.jpg
That one with the 'I ALONE LURRRRVE YOU!' sub-pearl-jam stuff on it.
These early 90s corporate-grunge jokes doing anything for yer?
Genuine Live '66 - Bob Dylan
yep. but anything bob dylan is amazing. got a buncha bootlegs that are way up there, too.
Bonnie Prince Billy
Summer In The South East is awesome... It's Will Oldham with a great band and has a real earthy feel... almost Pearl Jam-esque in places. Really great re-workings of his songs. The newish one with Harum Scarum is good aswell... again the somgs are re-worked to have a great folky feel! What an artist
Depeche Mode: 101
...
'rank' of course!
Elvis Costello - Live at El Mocambo
Fairly early, decent quality, frantic recording of Elvis with The Attractions around the time of This Year's Model. A brilliant band, especially the bass player.
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall
Playing 'new' songs like Old Man and Needle and the Damage Done. Just him and a guitar. Good stuff.
Portishead - NYC Live. The orchestra with them just sounds so effing amazing!!
You can also pick it up pretty cheaply from amazon marketplace or play methinks.
Not generalyl a live albums fan, but Marilyn Manson 'The Last Tour on Earth' and NIN 'And All That Could Have Been' are pretty decent.
Iterpol's "Black Session" is amazing (if you can find the high bps for download)
The ep disc version has terrible sound and omits all the highlights except "The Specialist". The version I have includes "Obstacle 2" and "Untitled" which I have never seen them do live cause I missed their first tour cycle. It also includes the best versions of "Stella Was A Diver And She's Always Down" and "Roland" that I've ever heard- almost better than the album versions.
Bob Dylan - Live 1975 The Rolling Thunder Revue
is awesome too. With the band from the Desire album and a whole host of guests to boot. Its also home to the definitive version of 'Hurricane'.
A great place to start if you haven't checked him out before too!
um...
Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre - Tindersticks
Little Drummer Boy - Kozelek
Bob Dylan
Live at the Royal Albert Hall is amazing, he rips throuhg some old songs like One too Many Mornings and Baby Let Me Follow You Down but obviously the 'judas' is cool to hear to hear as well, but for me HARD RAIN is his best live recording, its similar in its defiant delivery as 1966, but it just edges it.
nononono
Before the Flood is clearly better
Nine inch nails
INCREDIBLE
Standard response but:
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East.
Aslo.....
Motorhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith
AC/DC - If you want blood.....
Cheap Trick - Live at Budokan
Bonnie Prince Billy - Summer in the Southeast
Revolting Cocks - You Goddamn Son Of A Bitch
