Was surfing through channels and saw Peter Frampton on. ”Frampton Comes Alive” was a smash when I was in ‘high’ school. Chicks dug it.

 

The toxic lustful teen I was would say that was, due in part to it contributing to adolescent good times. There’s plenty more worth recognizing.

Wow. Only heard Cash and Neil. Maybe I should disqualify myself from this thread.

Supertramp - Paris

Rush - Exit Stage Left

Saw both in the ‘70’s, twice. Again, don’t know either album. I’m not worthy to rate.

Nah.  Frampton was great too.  I saw him a few years ago on his final tour.

Live at Leeds - complete (2-disc) version

 

 

 

There's your answer.  I was about to type this.

 

Not even close!

 

I have the fat 2 disc CD with thick booklet of info in it, and I sit down and listen to the music while reading the book now and again.  

 

The 5 or 6 minute jam session within "My Generation" alone is phenomenal.

 

That was The Who at the top of their game.

Not a KISS fan initially, my 2 year younger brother was in our teens. Heard the album regularly, wouldn’t disagree with you.

 

Day of KISS show in ‘78 was offered a floor ticket and went. Was smashed in amongst a throng 6 ft. back from center stage.

 

I am a KISS fan.

The Allman Brothers live at the Fillmore East.

 

The material for this album was actually taken from 4 shows. For the hardcore fan, in 2014 they released a 6 CD set with the individual shows ("The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings").

Typically not a huge fan of live albums.  But there are a few that stick out for me:

 

Rock of Ages, The Band

Waiting for Columbus, Little Feat

Fillmore East, Allman Brothers

Live at the Fillmore, Zappa

Live/Dead, Grateful Dead

Certified Live, Dave Mason

 

I know I'm missing some.

 

I give an honorable mention to Live Full House, J Geils Band.

A lot of great albums listed.

 

Gotta add Frampton Comes Alive.

 

Already been mentioned several times.

 

How about some of the worst live albums from bands you actually liked, at the time anyway?

 

On Your Feet or On Your Knees, Blue Oyster Cult (A real stinker)

Live in America, Steely Dan (not actually THAT terrible, but not up to SD standards)

I'll think of more.

Nice list! I saw The Band and expected to see The Last Waltz. That was a regular play for a while there.

IMO The Last Waltz is a quality entry to this list. I just think Rock of Ages is a bit better.

Surprised at this take... I mean, do we really want every live album to sound just like the studio albums? The Eagles for example, what is the difference really and what would be the point of going when it all sounds the same. Sometimes raw is better imo... I love this one.
