odysseus Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 What is your most listened-to live album? Mine has got to be Rush's A Show Of Hands. Been listening to that baby since I was about 19, and it's still a regular now, decades later. Honourable mentions: Iron Maiden - Live After Death - played through 2 cassette copies of that in my youth, but I haven't played it regularly in years. Scorpions - Worldwide Live - Still an occasional listen.... 4 Quote
TheGreek Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads - still one of my favourite albums of all time. or....Live & Direct by Aswad...my favourite band at one stage. 4 Quote

Lozz196 Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 All Those Wasted Years - Hanoi Rocks, in 1986 I think I must have played that tape - yes tape - every day, or at least near it. I now have it on CD and it just takes me back to the happiest time of my life listening to it. 2 Quote
chrisba Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Genesis - Seconds Out Be Bop Deluxe - Live in the Air Age. Bought both of these when they first came out ( late '70s ) , and listened to them regualrly ever since. Blew the equivalent of 30 pints of beer* on Yessongs while at uni, probably because of the cool artwork. I don't think I ever listened to it all the way through more than once, and probably never played any of the 3 LPs more than 4 or 5 times in total. Held a grudge against Yes ever since. *Beer was 33p a pint in our Loughborough local, so a £10 triple album was 30 pints worth. Over £100 for 30 pints now. Quote

Cato Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 4 minutes ago, Nail Soup said: Ramones - It’s Alive Good call. Possibly sacrilegiously I prefer Loco Live. It's a better recording, it covers more of their back catalogue and the Ramones sound like they did the one time I was fortunate enough to see them live in around 1993. 3 Quote
