Live Music

My newest DVD is Yes: Symphonic - Live in Amsterdam, and even though I am a Yes fan, this is the first time I have seen them, before I thought the words were from god, now I know it is a BAND! But I am now thinking that Ritual is one if not the best live song I have heard!

I used to and still like what I call story albums, like Tommy by the Who, or Journey to the center of the earth by Rick Wakeman.

I really like how the La Scalas play Live music, turn the Manley up to about 10 and close the eyesSo I am throwing the gauntlet down, I am saying that Yes: Symphonic, and Ritual is the best LIVE recording, what are your favorite LIVE recordings???

By Live I take you mean non-studio, so:

-Hendrix- Live at Woodstock, and Band of Gypsies

-Martha Argerich- Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto 3- Chailly

-John McLaughlin- Live at Royal Festival Hall, (still my fave after 15 years)

These 4 stand out, but there's lots of others.

Eric Clapton: "Unplugged"

Vladimir Horowitz: "Horowitz in Moscow"

There are lots more (Virgil Fox, Sarah McLachlan, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac, Journey...), but the two above I really like their sound. First class all the way!2.gif

C, It sounds just like i was there when i listen through my Forte's and D, that was my birthday! I really like this recording.9.gif

I agree with 3dzapper about "Europe '72". Let me add -

Allman Brothers, "Live at Fillmore East"

Peter Frampton, "Frampton Comes Alive"

Steve Earle/Townes Van Zandt/Guy Clark, "TOGETHER at the Bluebird Café"

Sons of Champlin, "Live"

Bill Evans, "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" & "Waltz for Debby"

Miles Davis, "In Person at the Blackhawk" and a bunch more

Joni Mitchell, "Miles of Aisles"

The Who, "Live at Leeds"

Jeez, I gotta stop. I could go on and on. There's nothing better than a great live album.

Certainly easy for me: Asylum Street Spankers LIVE at the Saxon Pub, recorded in 24/192X4.

Scares the pants off people. Can't really play it at realistic levels, as everyone keeps jerking the heads around to respond to somebody on the recording or clinking glasses.
