Bo0tsy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Here's a topic I don't think I've seen before on this forum. What, in your opinion, is the best live CD you've heard by your favourite band/bassist(s)? For me I would 100% vouch for Raphael Saadiq (All Hits At the House of Blues - great singer, songwriter, producer and bassist and a double album of souful funkiness - check out D'Angelo's appearance on disc 2) and also Bootsy Live in Louisville 1978 - the only live CD of Bootsy worth getting that fully captures Bootsy's intense space bass playing. A real tour-de-force. Probably the best and funkiest live CD I have ever heard and one of the reason's I decided to pick up a bass and give it a whirl. Interested in hearing other people's opinion's - (PS: - it doesn't have to be limited to soul & funk! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I'm not [i]really[/i] a massive fan of live albums, but you'd have to go a looooong way to beat "LIve And Dangerous" by Lizzy IMHO etc... 2nd would come "If You Want Blood" by ACDC Both tick all my boxes Edited November 7, 2011 by Yoda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Glad you included the PS, The Ramones - It's Alive there has been something similar recently [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157507-when-a-live-version-is-better-than-the-recording/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/157507-when-a-live-version-is-better-than-the-recording/page__fromsearch__1[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Stu Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) My fave band & fave music changes quite often; but the mainstay band in my life is or was Slade. Their celebrated live album was Slade Alive which was recorded on the same night as the TOTP show they did with their first number one in '71; therefore in Nod's words "they were on fire that night". Slade do Loving Spoonful [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t4lxIMcLiM[/media] PS. To the OP - what the hell is that bass in your avatar????

LiamPodmore Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Avenged Sevenfold: Live In The LBC is a personal favourite of mine, although i have had the one Green Day did on my MP3 for the past week or so and its quite good actually.

Ed_S Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 "Arch Enemy - Tyrants of the Rising Sun" is an absolute masterclass on being a tight metal band, and "Ozzy - Live at Budokan" is likewise for lone guitarists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Made In Japan. Band at the top of their game, genuine atmosphere and some songs are better than their studio counterparts. Also relatively little (maybe even none?) additional studio overdubs I believe so gets high marks for honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 [quote name='yorick' timestamp='1320676315' post='1429767']Sammy Hagar, Loud and Clear[/quote]Nice to see The Red Rocker get a mention, I had this on red vinyl, great album. Other live albums I love already getting a mention here viz; Made in Japan, Live & Dangerous, Slade Alive (blast from the past there, Darling Be Home Soon, brilliant). But if I had to choose just one it would have to be Peter Gabriel's Secret World, a great band on top of its game with Tony Levin's bass sounding monstrous. It's a great DVD too.
