Just Jack Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Going to see Peter Frampton tonight and it got me thinking, what live albums of artists/bands are classics? Anyone can make a live album, but which ones are considered ones you must listen to at least once, or even own. This is open to all eras/genre, but I'm going to start with some older stuff... Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive Neil Diamond - Hot August Night Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison Here's a link if you want to get some ideas... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/50-greatest-live-albums-of-all-time-173246/james-brown-live-at-the-apollo-1963-159575/ 1
Gray Beard Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 I went through the list, and I was surprised that I was familiar with about half of them. I didn’t think it would be that many. Cheap Trick in Japan was on the list, and I was looking for that one. Did I miss it, or was there no Woodstock? Perhaps because Woodstock would be a compilation of artists.

row_33 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 I"m sure some parts of The Who for Live at Leeds and Live at Hull were live and not studio recreations.

Great choices. . Edited July 3, 2019 by Augie
CookieG Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Damn, that's a good list by Rolling Stone. The Who-Live at Leeds is probably right where it should be, in the top 5. I love the inclusion of Muddy Waters at Newport. Allman Brothers at Fillmore East would make it just on the strength of Whipping Post alone. If someone not on the list can make it on one song alone...Janis Joplin, Ball and Chain, Monterey .
coloradobillsfan Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 it's not exactly a "classic" per se but Gov't Mule Live... With a Little Help From Our Friends is a stellar 4 CD live release. tons of talented guests, and the band played so long that they ran out of tape and ended up using a fan's recording of the encores. today's lineup is okay, but for me those power-trio years with Woody were the best. 1
Bad Things Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 The two that instantly pop into my head are... Genesis - Seconds Out Lynyrd Skynyrd - One more from the road. 1

I saw Frampton exactly one year ago tonight. The answer is Live Bullet, but Frampton Comes Alive was great. 1
plenzmd1 Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Two not listed in the list..3 actually 1) Genesis Live 2) Genesis Seconds Out 3) YesSongs 3
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 "Joe Dirt Car", BoDeans,(1995): Better band live, than studio. (No full album out there. 2-Disc set)

I saw Yes live on the revolving stage, and may have seen Genesis live as well. I mean....those were often fuzzy times....I can’t say I DIDN’T see them. 1

I don't know you but man am I glad you "allowed" the original... got a laugh here. Didn't look at the list but always liked Tull's Bursting Out and Zappa Live in New York. And this one: 2
