We have plenty of favorite album threads, but I searched and didnt see any for a favorite live album, And since most of the albums im spinning now are live albums, I thought it would be appropriate to ask, And try to give specific reason why its your favorite, makes it more interesting smile.gif


I have a combination of 3, Blind Guardian's "Live", The production is amazing, the songs sound even better live, and the reactions from the crowd just give me goosebumps, especially on "The Bards Song - In The Forest".

Secondly it would be Between The Buried And Me's "Colors Live". The performance is so spot on you might not even know it was a live album, and there is an added energy to the music when its played live that you cant capture on studio recordings.

Lastly, it would be Iron Maiden's "Rock In Rio". Maiden songs are just made to be played live, the reactions from the crowd that bruce gets are just spine chilling, To hear 250,000 people sing "Run To The Hills!" is just an experience you wont forget smile.gif

I LOVE live albums.

Until this one came out Iron Maiden's LIVE AFTER DEATH was the superstar.

But this one tops it.

HALFORD - LIVE INSURRECTION

Check out their cover of Judas Priests "Stained Class"

Muse-Haarp

That's actually my most hated live DVD. I was at the gig and it was awesome and I love Muse but the DVD is dire. The camera jumps around so much it actually makes you feel sick. It's a shame bands feel the need to do this sad.gif

My favourite live album is Nirvana - Unplugged In New York

The love the Audio CD it's stays always in mz car's cd player.

For me that would be Pink Floyds Delicate sound of thunder.
berko

(other than that. h.a.a.r.p, score from Dream Theater etc.)
Velvet Roger

Cheers Marcus smile.gif This one is also my favorute one.

I would also add Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same and Deep Purple - California Jam
Marek Rojewski
My favorite is also "Blind Guardian - Live". I had to buy a second copy of the record, as the first one was massacred by the build-in car cd player after spending something like a year in it:D
David Wallimann
Not completely a live album because a lot of edits were made, but I think it still fits this category:
I love Vai's "Alive in an Ultra World"
Trond Vold
Livealbums are great smile.gif
My favs would be:
Strapping Young Lad - For those aboot to rock
Dream Theater - Live scenes from a memory
Kamelot - A cold winters night
Faith No More - Live at the Brixton Academy

The CD is fine. It's just the DVD that is awful to me.

Dream Theater - Live Scenes from a Memory for me I think.
MickeM
I don't have that many live albums but there are two that sticks out. I got them long ago and I still enjoy them so they've grown stuck to me over the years.

Black Sabbath - Live Evil
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East
ZakkWylde
Slayers' Decade of Agression because it's truly live and unmastered
Pantera - 101 Proof
Slammer
Eric Johnson - Live from Austin Texas
VinceG
Boris with Merzbow Rock Dream. Seriously, one of the best albums iv ever heard. It first started in my favorite album/song Feedbacker with that Merzbow touch to it of space noise. The whole entire set is also mind blowing because of the great energy, songs, and sound. Everything is just perfect on this album. The ideal set up of Boris that I imagine seeing.
Power_Arctica
mmmm.... Kiss Alive 3

I guess that would be Grave Digger - Tunes of Wacken.

Rock Dream is pretty amazing, isn't it?

But I have to say Neurosis - Live In Lyon. Neurosis have an amazing intensity when playing live, and you can truly feel it in this cd. But if Reverend Bizarre ever release a Live CD, it will be the greatest thing in the universe.

Iron Maiden - Live after Death

That would be my choice as well smile.gif
Bogdan Radovic
Scorpions Acoustica definitly! smile.gif
I love the arrangements they made and powerful acoustic sound.
Ben Higgins
Due to the sheer atmosphere and energy I would have to pick these:

Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio
Metallica - S&M

Maiden's Live After Death is 'the' classic choice.. but they're playing and energy on RIR is even better ! And the energy on S&M is unreal.. regardless of what songs they played, it was a totally unique occasion and nobody knew what to expect and I think that energy comes through in the recording !
