toneknob Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Had to consult my last.fm stats for this, top three are 801 Live, Simple Minds 5x5 and Camel A Live Record. But that's just totting up number of tracks listened to. I suspect we can add Genesis Seconds Out/Live/Three Sides Live, Rush Exit Stage Left, assorted Magma (probably Theusz Hamthaak trilogy), Steven Wilson Get All You Deserve, Yesshows, Bowie Stage, Peter Gabriel Secret World Live. and the first record I ever bought, Talking Heads Stop Making Sense Edited February 23, 2021 by toneknob Quote
Mykesbass Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Average White Band - Person to Person (most listened to over time) Bill WIthers Live at the Carnegie Hall (most listened to recently) John Mayer Trio Try is a great call @Crawford13 as is Sinatra at the Sands @EssentialTension 1 1 Quote
Nail Soup Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Cato said: 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. IMO the latter day Ramones ruined the live act by speeding up to much🙁 - what d’ya reckon? 1 Quote
SteveXFR Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Live in Paris They're a band who are far better live than on records. Queens Of The Stone Age - Live in London Actually recorded in Bristol, I know, I was there. It was one of the last club tours they did and they absolutely destroyed it. Quote

bassbiscuits Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 1 hour ago, odysseus said: 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.... Now you’re talking.... Worldwide Live and Live After Death were mainstays of my musical upbringing, along with Kiss’s Alive 2. Probably know them all note for note. 1 Quote

bassist_lewis Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 I haven't listened in a while but my favourite live album is 'Live' by Donny Hathaway. Sounds amazing, amazing performances from everyone, especially (I believe) Willie Weeks on bass 2 Quote

Paul S Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Can I add my 3 runners up? Thin Lizzy, Live and Dangerous (OK, bits of it weren't live...) Humble Pie, Performance Rockin' The Fillmore. UFO, Strangers in the Night Wishbone Ash, Live Dates. That may have been 4. 1 Quote

Barking Spiders Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Everything Everything by Underworld, proving some electronica/techno bands can cut it live Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads - where several tunes here kick the ar$es of the studio originals At Budokan by Cheap Trick - where all the tracks kick the studio versions into touch What Do You Want From Live by The Tubes - surprise surprise...ditto the above Live One by Tommy Emmanuel - of course TE is in his element live but this comes a good second Quote
fretmeister Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Metallica - Live Sh$t Binge & Purge Vulfpeck: Live at Madison Square Gardens Kings X: Live love in London Mr Big: Live (San Francisco) Stevie Wonder: Natural Wonder (Live) 1 Quote
