      My personal fav live albums are Motley Crue - Decade of Decadence , The Police Live, and Judas Priest - Live. As far as best for the artists career, its a clear win for Frampton. Although Cheap Trick @ Budokan was quite influencial and boosted them.

          The Police album sounded good, but I didn't like the choice of formatting. I think they should have released two separate albums, one from 78 or 79 and then another from the Synchronicity tour. Because going from one disc to the other is just a reminder of how much the band changed in such a short time.... and not necessarily for the better.

            I've never heard a live album by The Police, but I remember a film of their first world tour - they were good. This is intercut with off-stage footage, but the first tune kicks in at about 1:30

              Mercury's charisma, I guess... (0:45)

              Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

                  I seen R.E.O. Speedwagon You Get What You Play For on someone's list. That was a great album, with Golden Country, and of coarse Riding The Storm Out. Before the pussy ballads. When they were a jam band. My goodness what happened to Gary. There is a clip of him on stage with the new R.E.O. playing Stormout. I wanted too weep !! He looked horrid !! 250 and 6 chins !! Man I was bummed too see that. What a great player ! One of my favorite shows in 89 outside in the rain. Killer sound ! He had a awesome tone.

                      Back before Miles Copeland had grey hair. Got to love his intro.

                        The Allman Brothers Band @ the Fillmore East, James Brown's Love, Power, Peace from the Olympia Theater in Paris, or UFO's Strangers in the Night.

                        Is it true that Michael's parts are "as is"? I had read somewhere that he allegedly insisted that his performance remain unaltered.

                            Yes the JB Paris show is fucking amazing I need to spin that one. And Strangers in the Night is definitely my next purchase but fucking amazon has been out of stock for a month now. I'd love to find it on vinyl somewhere cheap...

                              UFOs Strangers in the night on vinyl...great! I had forgot about them...I must have put it in garbage sometime ago along with all my vinyls.....my first live album purchased was Bob Seger nine tonight...Another one I remember purchasing as an import was Rainbow - On Stage.
                              Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?

                                KISS Alive is still my favorite, despite how "live" it is or not. Lots of good one's listed here. James Brown at the Apollo is great. Black Sabbath, Live Evil is a good document of the band with RJD in his prime. I really like Bob Dylan's, Hard Rain. Dylan is so inconsistent in concert, but that recording captured some raw energy and anger over his breakup. I'll try to embed it, but this version of Idiot Wind is so goddamn good!
