Best Live album by favourite Band or Bassist?

Here's a topic I don't think I've seen before on this forum. What, in your opinion, is the best live CD you've heard by your favourite band/bassist(s)?

For me I would 100% vouch for Raphael Saadiq (All Hits At the House of Blues - great singer, songwriter, producer and bassist and a double album of souful funkiness - check out D'Angelo's appearance on disc 2) and also Bootsy Live in Louisville 1978 - the only live CD of Bootsy worth getting that fully captures Bootsy's intense space bass playing. A real tour-de-force. Probably the best and funkiest live CD I have ever heard and one of the reason's I decided to pick up a bass and give it a whirl.

Interested in hearing other people's opinion's - (PS: - it doesn't have to be limited to soul & funk! :) )

I'm not [i]really[/i] a massive fan of live albums, but you'd have to go a looooong way to beat "LIve And Dangerous" by Lizzy IMHO etc...

2nd would come "If You Want Blood" by ACDC

Both tick all my boxes :)

My fave band & fave music changes quite often; but the mainstay band in my life is or was Slade. Their celebrated live album was Slade Alive which was recorded on the same night as the TOTP show they did with their first number one in '71; therefore in Nod's words "they were on fire that night".
Slade do Loving Spoonful

PS. To the OP - what the hell is that bass in your avatar???? :)

Cheers, I was starting to think in that direction when I saw the JB content in the other thread. Maybe the OP's name shoudla given me a hint! :)

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1320676315' post='1429767']Sammy Hagar, Loud and Clear[/quote]Nice to see The Red Rocker get a mention, I had this on red vinyl, great album. Other live albums I love already getting a mention here viz; Made in Japan, Live & Dangerous, Slade Alive (blast from the past there, Darling Be Home Soon, brilliant).

But if I had to choose just one it would have to be Peter Gabriel's Secret World, a great band on top of its game with Tony Levin's bass sounding monstrous. It's a great DVD too.
