I was listening to the old iPod last night and the little electronic jukebox played Turn the Page from Bob Seger's classic live album "Live Bullet". There are some great live recordings out there, so let us offer a list of five all-time classic live albums. Here are some of my favorite live recordings, in no particular order:
The Who Live at Leeds
Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison
Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East
Frank Sinatra Sinatra at the Sands
Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same
Since I am the man making the list, I will not limit myself to five. Here a few more of my favorites:
Yes Yessongs
Simon and Garfunkle Concert in the Park
Peter Frampton Frampton Comes Alive
Bob Seger Live Bullet
What do you think are the five best live albums of all time? Come on, play along in the comments. If you do not comment, cats in heat will stand beneath your bedroom window. Babies will cry. Puppies will look at you with that head-cocked sad-eyed look. Buddhist Monks will set themselves on fire. Play along or Nancy Pelosi will do a strip tease at your next birthday. Flowers will die. Your Grandma will be sad. If you fail to comment fat guys in thongs will haunt your dreams. Come on, join in the fun. Do it for the baby seals, for the starving kids in India/Africa/Tibet/Mongolia/Thailand. If you offer your opinion Catherine Zeta-Jones might come to your house wearing a French Maid outfit. The old Spice guy might come and clean your bathroom, ladies. The risk is low, the rewards are high.
Don't make me beg.
All good choices, but to add #5 to your 2nd list of 4,I would include the Dave Matthews Band - Central Park Concert. Although I completely disagree with his politics, that was one "get down" performance. They are tight.

Can't think of one you haven't mentioned.
ReplyDeleteFrampton first came to mind, then Live at Leeds.
Yessongs put me to sleep at the concert, or was it the weed?
Neil Young: Freedom
Several of us are waiting with tire irons in the parking lot for the Old Spice guy.
ReplyDeleteI console myself Cappy, with the knowledge the Old Spice dude has likely taken so many steroids to get that wshboard gut that his dick is merely a shriveled slug. His balls are like peas in a gunny sack.
