clarkpegasus4001 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Bruford - Live tapes and Jan Akkerman - Live, are two of my faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Lindisfarne's 'Magic in the Air'. Rod Clements' unmistakeable fretless Precision tone. Great player, and a huge influence on me.

jd2112 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 + 1 Rush - Exit Stage Left Hard to understand how Ged, Neil and Alex pull this off even though I've seen it with my own eyes more than once. This is my favourite Rush live album, musically they can still deliver but the vocals havn't been the same since about 1985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 More along WoTs line of acoustic brilliance, The Waifs - A Brief History. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuGk16mLTW4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuGk16mLTW4[/url] Things really pick up around 2:00 when harmonica action kicks in.... stick with it... it'll blow your mind.

ezbass Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1320759547' post='1430903'] of course, this opens another can of worms, how many of these live albums are actually totally live? not many I suspect [/quote]The totally 'live' warts n all concept vs touched up versions debate doesn't bother me, if it sounds good and pleases me while adding a different slant from the original recorded version it's all good.

moonbass Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Currently Chic live at the Budokan. Such a sad story surrounding it, but amazing to hear Bernard Edwards on such fine form considering. And I heard that Nile Rodgers left it 'as played' out of respect. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefc42 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 [quote name='allihts' timestamp='1320703920' post='1430427'] Queen - Live at Wembley '86 [/quote] Sorry have to disagree here, as a massive Queen (& JD in particular) fan I have to say I was so dissapointed with the 'Magic Tour' output ('Live Magic' followed by 'Live At Wembley' some years later) Don't get me wrong the shows were good (I was at both Wembley and what was to be the last ever Queen show at Knebworth) but the recordings are trerrible If you want to hear Queen live at thier best, then it's 'Live Killers' (78 European Tour) all the way Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Some of my personal favs (I make no apologies for being a proghead ): La Gazza Ladra - Marillion Seconds Out - Genesis Atlanta - Porcupine Tree A New Day Yesterday - Joe Bonamassa and of course Yessongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 +1 for Seconds Out but other favourites include Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light Weather Report - 8.30 Cheap Trick - Live at the Boudakan Sammy Hagar - Loud and Clear (All Night Long in the US) Blue Oyster Cult - Soem Enchanted Evening Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East SF Jazz Collective - Horace Silver Tribute Antonio Sanchez - Live at the Jazz Standard I guess the bizarre thing is that 99% of jazz albums are by definition live anyway!

dmccombe7 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Already mentioned but Genesis Seconds Out and Floyd's Delicate Sound of Thunder are top of my list. Rush - All the world's a Stage i always liked warts and all. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 "Evilive" by the Misfits. Appalling quality recording of some almost-falling-apart horror punk performances. The bass tone is superbly dirty and the attitude is incredible. Jerry Only used to have his bass tuned E,A, E, A just in case he broke one.

JTUK Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Delicate sounds of thunder for sure. Paul Simon in Central Park ( Graceland era ) Brian Ferry/Roxy Music Live at Frejus Deep Purple Made in Japan.

Bassnut62 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 'Flood' by Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters (line in Japan in 1975). Holy Freakin A - wot an album of extended funkiness and serious virtuosity, especially from Paul Jackson on bass and Mike Clarke on drums.

wombatboter Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wings over America - the triple live album by Paul McCartney and Wings around 76-77...great songs, a superb bass-sound (one of the best live bass-sounds I have ever heard on an album). I wish he had never got rid of that horn section he used back then (keyboard Wix could never replace them with his synths) Joe Jackson - The BBC sessions (Graham Maby plays even better than on the studio-albums) Level 42 - Physical Presence Japan - Oil on Canvas. James Taylor - Live (Jimmy Johnson flies through this great repertoire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
