Best Live Albums


Recommended Posts

1.The Doors Live - a compilation of Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine & Absolutely Live. I enjoy it more than any of the studio l.p.s

 

2.Jimi Hendrix live at Monterey - never had it on cd etc. only on video - probably best, what a performance!

 

3.Ride - Live at Reading 1992 [on the OX4 boxset]. Never gets excessive but lesser known tunes like Sennen and Close My Eyes get an epic work-out.

 

4.I don't know if this is permissible but Blur did a Peel Session in the run up to the release of 'Blur' so they did 5 tunes of that and Pop Scene [no Song 2] which I taped off the radio and listened to for years - their best work/sound IMO.

 

Think that’s my bonus 2nd CD for the Blur album

Zoo TV Live - U2 (live in Sydney)

 

Saw them on that tour at Glasgow SECC - still the best gig Ive ever witnessed

 

Doubt it will be surpassed.

 

Saw that at Wembley when Salman Rushdie came on stage. I'm sure PJ Harvey was one support act and some DJ. Good show, especially the use of the screens and technology.

 

One live album worth a listen is Van Morrison - Live '73. It's Tool Late to Stop Now. Excellent music.
