Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl

"Course you don't get f*cking wafers with it, you c*cksucker!"

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Lizzy - Live & Dangerous
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Paul Weller - Days of Speed
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Live Alive
Gary Moore - Blues Alive

and even tho I don't much like Simple Minds, Live in the City of Light is pretty good.

 

[METALMICKY]

Thin Lizzy- Live & Dangerous

Quite simply the best live album ever!

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Green Day - Bullet in a Bible

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The guitar solo from " Still in love with you " by Brian Robertson is one of the top 3 greatest guitar solo's of all time, its so beautiful it almost makes me cry , stunning

 

[Dave the OAP]

Lotus - Santana FACT

[METALMICKY]

It is a great album, and they were great live, but does it really count as a live album? They admitted later that most of the guitar parts were redone in the studio afterwards.

Fair point but very few live albums particularly today are not touched up with overdubs.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Operation Livecrime - Queensryche

Thread rocked

 

[London Calling]

I am stunned that Motorhead, ' "no sleep until Hammersmith" hasn't been mentioned.

Its an absolute classic powerful album, that represented Motorhead's live performances 100%.
