I want to at least feel like I’m at a concert if I can’t be at one. Listening to Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East right now. Need other nominations for my play list this weekend. What’s your #1?
You nailed my #1. Hands down the best ever live album, and my favorite band.I want to at least feel like I’m at a concert if I can’t be at one. Listening to Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East right now. Need other nominations for my play list this weekend. What’s your #1?
You've got Krokus on the brain.UFO - Screaming in the Night.
Yeah, trying not to spotlight here.Unfortunately, not Marvin Gaye at the Kennedy Center in 1972.
There's a huge draft going on where several have been chosen, and there are two real notables that haven't.
Kick Out The Jams by the MC5 and Cheap Trick at Budokan are missing
Thin Lizzy really is an underrated band, per the discussion in that thread. I only know the "hits," but Ted Leo and the Pharmacists did such a good and thoughtful cover of "Little Girl In Bloom" that I was hooked by both cover and original. I love the outtro to the song...Yeah, trying not to spotlight here.
Although I did draft Thin Lizzy's Live And Dangerous, so I'll throw that one out as one of the better live rock albums.
This feels like a set-upUnfortunately, not Marvin Gaye at the Kennedy Center in 1972.

Undrafted ones at spoiler. Don't click if you draft!

Nope. I edited to add that. I think if you click, you'll be so disappointed that they're still there in Round 28 (or what have you) and you can't draft them with a clear conscience.This feels like a set-up
lolNope. I edited to add that. I think if you click, you'll be so disappointed that they're still there in Round 28 (or what have you) and you can't draft them with a clear conscience.
(I kid, of course).
This, however, is the most tempting of set-ups like that. To a cat, no less.

A week ago I thought it was Folsom alone at the top, but now I think there's competition.James Brown and the Famous Flames Live at the Apollo
Some great Randy Rhoads solos on that one.Ozzy Osbourne - Tribute
I’m about to drop another that I think rivals JB and the FF. If you like Cash, it’s right in that wheel house.MAC_32 said:A week ago I thought it was Folsom alone at the top, but now I think there's competition.
This.MindCrime said:While one of my favorite albums of all time is Iron Maiden “Live After Death”, the live vibe was captured perfectly on Iron Maiden’s “Rock In Rio”. Over 200,000 fans in attendance, at points carrying the melody of songs with their singing. It’s a double album, so if you’re not a big fan, it may be a bit too much, but check out “Fear of the Dark” off of that album to get a taste of sitting there live. The Intro into “Wicker Man” is amazing as well.
I do, thanks.zamboni said:You've got Krokus on the brain.
I know you meant Strangers In The Night - great call.
GREAT call out. Maiden live -- the whole band, from Bruce's lyrics to the searing guitar harmonies and impeccable drive and timing of the drums and base -- is just as good live as it is produced in studio.MindCrime said:While one of my favorite albums of all time is Iron Maiden “Live After Death”, the live vibe was captured perfectly on Iron Maiden’s “Rock In Rio”.

I honestly cannot fathom why one of those albums in the spoiler has not been picked. It's a fantastic one, and constantly brought up as one of the best live albums of all time.Unfortunately, not Marvin Gaye at the Kennedy Center in 1972.

If you are into albums recorded in jails, go listen to BB King Live at Cook County.MAC_32 said:A week ago I thought it was Folsom alone at the top, but now I think there's competition.
You beat me to this. And another poster beat me to saying that. Maiden is incredible live. I was blown away in the mid 80s and every time that I saw them after. I grew up with Live after Death but Rock in Rio is even better. Fear of the Dark is a better live song than studio song. The energy of the show makes that song soar.MindCrime said:While one of my favorite albums of all time is Iron Maiden “Live After Death”, the live vibe was captured perfectly on Iron Maiden’s “Rock In Rio”.

That’s a great show. This time of year when the weather warms up I love listening to this era of the dead. I was going to list “Europe ‘72”, the set list on that album is perfect springtime listening, as well as “reckoning”. “One from the vault” is also a solid listen.Low hanging fruit for Deadheads.
