In my humble opinion, we can always do with another music thread as long as it generates a bit of quality Blitz discussion (maybe that last bit is a bit over the top) and so I give you the “Top Ten Favourite Live Albums” thread.
It’s pretty simple…just name your top ten favourite live albums.
Here’s mine (in no particular order):
One More From The Road - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Alive II - KISS
Showtime, Storytime - Nightwish
Let Us Burn - Within Temptation
Strangers In The Night - UFO
Live And Dangerous - Thin Lizzy
Rust Live - Neil Young
Blazing Away - Marianne Faithfull
Bullet In A Bible - Green Day
On Stage - Rainbow

I have about 800 albums and not a single live album amongst it. I just can’t get into live recordings without seeing it. “Stop Making Sense” is a good example, I need to watch it. The occasional well-recorded live cut on a compilation is ok, but for listening I want a studio recording. Maybe I’ll whip up a list of fave live DVDs.
(Ironically, I really love Peel Sessions. Raw one-takes in a studio excite me.)

I would consider Peel Sessions as Live recordings. One take, no overdubbing. Doesn’t need to be in a concert to be live.

I saw them do the concerts live in 1984, once at Narrara & a few days later back in Melbourne.
Still by far the best concerts I’ve ever been too, & I wasn’t even much of a fan beforehand.
Alice In Chains - Unplugged
Cheap Trick - At Budokan
Weddings Parties Anything - They Were Better Live
U2 - Under A Blood Red Sky
Midnight Oil - Best Of Both Worlds
XTC - Dew Drops & Rainbow Pops (bootleg)
