Prodigal Son There's a lot of my favourites that have been mentioned already. But did anybody include Weld by Neil Young or Live Rust for that matter. Hell, Rust Never Sleeps was a live record but the crowd noise was taken out and overdubs were made. Also, can't forget Live at Leeds-the two disc 2001 expanded version. Sheer brilliance! I also like One More from the Road by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Live at Fillmore East, New Year's 1970 by Jimi Hendrix, It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison and Bob Dylan live at Royal Albert Hall.

quackenbush There's a live Solomon Burke album, whose name escapes me, and that's great too, laods of soulful preachin', brother.

The Solomon Burke album you are referring to is called Soul Alive. A few of the songs on there are covered by the Rolling Stones.

Zeeta Man this is a write off for me...fuckin' Brussels Affair Definative or whatever it is! That is mint. NOTHING comes close to it!

I just don't understand the attraction of Elvis, obviously he broke new ground and that but it just doesn't get my going or anything I just get bored, quickly. Live, from what I have heard, he is better.

Could someone who is cool could perhaps explain the attraction?

I jus' "je ne comprendez??"

I ask here 'cos I know we all like the rolling stones!

glencar I have the Elvis MSG album. While it's pleasurable, it's no Ya Yas. It's more like Still Life. Only less so.
11-17-03 05:32 PM
SirMuddy Love you live I'm stone born with it... Keith's blood
Get yer ya-ya's out... Keith sympathy solo... Mmmmm

beavie My all-time fav Stones is probably "Leeds". But my all-time fav is "The Allman Brothers At The Fillmore East". Quite surprised nobody said this earlier.
11-17-03 10:54 PM
glencar One For The Road...YES! Good call, sirmuddy.
11-18-03 12:11 AM
VoodooChileInWOnderl Hey Hotlicks check your list, Humble Pie's "Performance" has two votes

I also would like to add many many more

How can I forget J. Geils Band "Full House" or Big Brother & The Holding Co. "Cheap Thrills", Foghat "Live", Johnny Winter "And", Quick Silver Messanger Service, etc etc and many more etcs

If you see the archives, we had the same thread long time ago and the lists are different, not just by me but many of you, and I'm sure it will be different if we make it again in the near future
11-18-03 01:29 AM
Prodigal Son One For The Road...YES! Good call, sirmuddy

Ah hell, I already mentioned it and I still didn't get noticed for it. Oooo, just remembered another great live one-Otis Redding Live in Europe. Wooooh, he was always outta breath doing those rip-roaring shows.

palacerevolution There are many Live Elvis. My absolute fave is "From Memphis To Vegas". The Live disc in Vegas. DJ Fontana (drummer) kicks ass! Lou Reed's "Live", the other half of "RnR Animal" is great. Also "Take No Prisoners". "The best Live is by the Four Tops in the 60's at the Roostertail. There is a version of "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" that I die by. MC5 "Kick Out The Jams", Jane's first disc with several Livecuts, JB's "Live At The Apollo", (both), Temptations "Live with the Supremes", Tubew "What Do You Want From Life?", "Yessongs" (believe it or not), and always "Yay-Ya's" and "Brussles".

corgi37 Love you live - so overblown, i just loved it as youngster. ya-ya's, but it really needs Satisfaction and Gimme Shelter on it. Weld - Neil Young. Awesome, powerful stuff. Live at Leeds - the Who. I'm talking the extended version from a couple of years back. The Doors live at the Hollywood Bowl - the video is killer, but was also released on cd. Definative Light my Fire and The End. And, i have only downloaded it this year, and am still waiting to get 1 damn song, but Brussels Affair is wicked. I usually find it corny when people include bootlegs, as it seems like they are trying to be smart ass and reveal they know/have something most folk dont. But, the stuff on this is just superb. A professional release of this album (when the band is gone i guess) would convert any rabid hater of the stones.

Sunflower Love You Live and Get Yer Ya Ya's Out are my two fave Stones live albums.

Others that I listen to often are:

The Doors - Live In America
The Doors - Live at The Aquarius Theatre
The Doors - Live at The Hollywood Bowl
Numerous other Doors bootlegs...

Deep Purple - Live with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra....amazing!

And some powerful John Lee Hooker live bootlegs.
