It's as good a choice as any........as all kind hearted, reasonable people will agree.

Other fave raves :

Zevon's "Stand in the Fire"
Costello's "Live at El Mocambo"
Black Lips "Los Valientes Del Mundo Nuevo"
Ramones "It's Alive"

Do live comps and soundtracks count?

If so, throw in:

Dance Craze soundtrack (cookin' soundtrack to 2-Tone film, showing that certain of these folks were more "live" bands than studio ones)

Urgh a Music War soundtrack

Can You Hear Me: Live at the Deaf Club comp (Dead Kennedys, KGB/No Alternative, Offs, Tuxedomoon, Pink Section, Mutants. What more need be said)

Might as well throw in the Throbbing Gristle box sets as well.

Justice Pimp, concurring. L at L still give me goosebumps to hear a band that scary-good at the height of their powers. The extended versions of that album are worth hearing. Live at the Isle of Wight Festival doesn't suck, either.

Dylan's Live '66
Jerry Lewis Live at the Star Club, Hamburg (is this still in print?)
RH and the Egyptians - Gotta Let This Hen Out!
Neil - Live Rust

The best fake live albums:
Kiss Alive
Live at Budokan

Don't forget Thin Lizzy's Live and Dangerous. It's a great record, but almost entirely recreated in the studio. There's a fascinating account of that process in Tony Visconti's autobiography.

terry callier is the most underrated singer songwriter this side of fred neil

that is a great LP--as is VU 69 nathch

callier is kind of a cross between marvin gaye with donny hathaway and a tasteful richie havens mashed up in a NICE way, not the way i made it sound

For the past , oh, 20 years or so, these have been my three favorite live albums:

Graham Parker, Live at Marble Arch
Solomon Burke, Soul Alive!
Otis Clay, Soul Man, Live in Japan.

More recently, these would definitely be in my top 10 if I ever compiled one:

Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, Moments From This Theater
Bruce Springsteen and the Sessions Band, Live From Dublin

I'm also kind of partial to Bob Marley's Babylon By Bus.

Do you mean the original release or the four times as long re-issue? For me that re-issue blew my mind totally. Hearing the playful song choices, hearing the songs from the original release in "concert context", a complete Tommy and the modern remix, simply awesome.

Look, I tend not to be pushy around here, but I feel like most of you aren't hearing me. I'm talking about the *Holy Grail* of live albums:

Slade, "Alive!"

No more discussion.
Live it.
Feel it.
Play it loud.

Thanks for gettin' my back on this, STEVE. dk, by all means download it, but a cautionary word: iTunes puts Vol 1 (1972) and Vol 2 (1978) together. The '72 stuff is what we're talking about here. And, yes, I'm pretty sure I discovered that one at the I-man's suggestion, if memory serves.

that be the one. i TRIED to play that very same slade Lp one night not too long ago and then Humble Pie 'eat it' right after and thats when that officer makin his rounds rolled his gumballs out from across the street. Shit, the fucker. He probably wasn't even born until sometime in the eighties.

Got the right one and was blown away by Darlin' Be Home Soon. Love that song. I didn't know what it was when I first heard this version in the 70's but know that I'm older (and wiser?) I can appreciate that they could take John Sebastian's sweet song and make it into a power ballad. AWESOME!

Chuck Berry on Stage, an early 1960's Chuck Berry album, is a weird fake live album. It has some of his classic Chess hits overdubbed with applause and crowd noise to simulate a live show. Some of the songs are renamed. Why? There are a couple of other fake live albums from the period that also come to mind. The Kingsman Vol. One, their debut album, featuring "Louie Louie," is a fake live album with the hit tacked-on the record. Again, Why? Additionally, the U.S. LP by The Rolling Stones, Got Live if You Want It, has fake live tracks mixed with actual live tracks. Stupid album. There is a UK EP with that title, which features all true live cuts. Have record companies always been stupid and greedy about the way they handle their artist's material?
