Best Live Album

[binnie]

Ok, I know these things are usually stinkers aimed to get you to part with cash, but every once in a while we get a gem!

Any thoughts?

[binnie]

Here's a few classics

Kiss "Alive"

Ted Nugent "Double Live Gonzos"

Motorhead "No Sleep 'till Hammersmith" (the greatest?)

AcDc "If you want Blood..."

[binnie]

I don't think it's technically a "live" album, more of an experiment, but Metallica "S&M" is awesome IMO

I know some of you guys will think it sucks....

[binnie]

Also

Ozzy "Tribute"

Hendrix "Band of Gypsys"

[ALMOSTsaved]

Aerosmith: "LIVE! Bootleg"

Motley Crue: "LIVE: Entertainment or Death"

These are just two that I absolutely NEVER get bored with.

[binnie]

I forgot about Aerosmith, that is a killer!

[Coyote]

Can't go wrong with Thin Lizzy's "Live & Dangerous"...

Or Queen's "Live Killers".

[Alex Mogilny]

The Who : Live At Leeds

[Mr. Vengeance]

We've done this thread a thousand times, but KISS Alive is the greatest live album, hands down. Regardless of the overdubs, it is the best example of a live show, captured on tape.

Just search for the other threads to see mine, I can't be bothered typing them again.

One of my favorites is Scorpions "World Wide Live." I know when all of the feedback squeaks are, especially during "Bad Boys Running Wild."

Best sound quality...NOT.
Best for sentimental reasons...Fo' Sho'!

Klaus rambles with his German accent for days. Hi-lar-i-ous!! He called it Cah-lee-forn-ya YEARS before Arnold did.

"Zhyou know why we love to play Cah-lee-forn-ya? Zhyou know whyyyy? Because you people, you really know how to paaaarrrrtyyyyy!?

It's no secret that Michael Schenker is one of the more talented guitarists of the hard rock/heavy metal genre. But it's a known fact among longtime fans that Schenker's playing on-stage always surpasses his studio recordings. Just listen to UFO's classic Strangers in the Night or Schenker's own One Night at Budokan for the proof. So it makes sense that the folks at Zoom Club would assemble a Schenker box set comprised strictly of live recordings, 2003's four-disc Back to Attack: Live Included are three separate shows -- Japan, 18 January 1984 (discs one and two), Portland, Oregon, 14 December 1983 (disc three), and Holland's Pink Pop Festival, 08 June 1981 (disc four), and it appears as though the recordings are from the soundboard (be forewarned -- these aren't pro recordings, especially the last disc). But despite this, Schenker's six-string skills are exceptional throughout, and you get great renditions of both UFO, Michael Schenker, and Melissa Manchester Group classics -- "Rock Bottom," "Doctor Doctor," "Captain Nemo," "Into the Arena," "Natural Thing" and more. Sure it may be overkill for the casual admirer, but for the hardcore Schenker fan, there's plenty to enjoy. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
