Whats your Favorite Live CD

[Sounds Good]

i caught a dave matthews concert on HDnet one night... i thought it sounded great...

i cant wait to get the oppo BD player and explore the world of SACD... the only thing ive heard to this point is DVD-A... and it is equally amazing... imo

My favorite live cd at this time is the 11/11/73 set from the Grateful Dead's Winterland 73 box set.

I had that cd set but I sold it when the dvd came out.

Camel- A Live Record. Almost all the album you don't know its live until the song is over and the applause rings in (it is a shame that they lost alot of the original tapes to the original concert)

Tomita "Live at Linz". Even though it Electronica, and considering it was Played and recorded on both sides and in the middle of a river(with Helicopters too!), it nearly comes out Like 5.1 Dolby(in a time that it wasnt around!)

The 2 cd set was standard fare but the song Once upon a Time in the West on the double live album Alchemy - Dire Straits always gets turned up loud at home.

3rd on the AIC - Unplugged

 

[3db]

Mine would have to be Cream "Live at Royal Albert Hall" . I've never heard such a good live recording before.

 

[nibhaz]

Dave Brubeck's Concord on a Midsummer Night SACD

+1 for this alblum

Other favorites:

Moe.: Warts and All Vol. 1
Dave Matthews: Live at Red Rocks 8.15.98
Bob Dylan: The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964, Concert at Philharmonic Hall
Pink Floyd: Pulse

 

[PeterWhite]

Roxy & Elsewhere, Frank Zappa

 

[Masher]

This is better sounding than Pulse, if that is possible.

 

[robmlisanti]

That one

 

[griffinconst]

Check out Pat Travers - Go for What You Know. Hard rock with a few jazz chords and top notch musicians!

I have a few:

The re-released Waiting for Columbus disk by Little Feat. This is the one with two disks, not one, and it includes all the tracks from the original LPs (an earlier version of WFC did not include "Don't Bogart that Joint"). This release is split onto two CDs and features a lot less compression, plus a mess of bonus tracks featuring the Tower of Power Horn section.

The re-released Live at Leeds disk by the Who. Features the full concert on one disk (not just the 6 tracks on the original live LP) plus, on a second CD, a complete performance of Tommy at that same concert.

Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense - though, really, I'm talking about the concert DVD. Best concert on video EVER.

 

[griffinconst]

+1 for Talking Heads' Stop making sense. Good call cwall.

Great album.

Absolutely love ET Live by BOC...one of my favs. I must say, I haven't found too many people who like that one besides myself (even BOC fans - they tend to like On Your Feet Or On Your Knees or One Enchanted Evening). Good to see I'm not alone.

I also thought World Wide Live by the Scorps was a nice recording. I think it was an all digital recording which sounded great for the mid-80s.

Other favorites are.....
1. Elvis - Alternate Aloha
2. Pink Floyd - Live @ Pompei (DVD)
3. Iron Maiden - Flight 666 (DVD)
4. Pink Floyd - Pulse
5. David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk
6. Slayer - Live Decade of Aggression
7. Neil Young - Unplugged
8. Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies
9. Queen - Live Killers
10. Ozzy Osbourne - Speak of the Devil (not the best recording)

Some other Best Live Recordings

Bela Fleck - Live Art
Peter Gabriel - DVD - Growing Up Live
Todd Rundgren - Live In Japan
Rundgren - Nearly Human (Recorded Live, but not in front of an audience)
Rundgren - Second Wind (SERIOUSLY, check this live in front of an audience... though you only hear them once.)
Bowie - DVD - A Reality Tour
Allison Krauss and Union Station Live

Frampton Comes Alive... Oh wait, that's not really a live recording at all, is it?

And I second (third?) Stop Making Sense.

Hey, I actually got to share the stage with Mr. Travers a couple of years ago. This guy was a real guitar hero for me.
