Really? I don't recall that.

 

There was a remastered release in 1998 with it on as a bonus track. I think it's also on the DVD audio quality release as well.

I'm with you now, you meant Luck Be a Lady not Fly me. My misunderstanding.

Interesting sub-set of live albums is the live debut album.

I suppose there are genres where it is normal like jazz or something... but not in general rock/soul.

How about his example from wave2 punks Peter and The Test Tube Babies. The Album is "whizzed and Proud".

It was not a greatest hits in any way, just what would have been on a studio debut.

Luckily they can cut it live and it features some amusing banter between singer Peter, bass player Trapper and audience (e.g. at the end of this clip). Lyrics are pretty funny too.

Suck on this was Primus's debut and it was a live record. Pretty cool effort I think.

801 Live

Was that John Wetton, Phil Manzanera, Bill Bruford and co? Album sleeve had a pre-CBS headstock on it IIRC.

I was hoping for something from this century but I'm no better.

 

Humble Pie Rockin' the Fillmore Humble Pie - Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore (full album) (VINYL) - YouTube

Doors Absolutely Live Who Do You Love (Live) - YouTube

Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall 1938 Sing Sing Sing - Carnegie Hall 1938 - YouTube

 

That last has a claim to be the first ever concert of popular music, depends how you define concert of course but if so it was good to kick it all off with a good one. Love the drums.

Just remembered a few more...

 

Iggy Pop - TV Eye - one of the few live recordings that actually sound like being at a gig

Allman Bros at Fillmore East

Bob Marley Live

Pink Floyd - the live stuff on Ummagumma

Joy Division - Preston - love listening to the synths and other gear gradually failing and the band reverting to a much rawer set

Mick Ronson tribute concert - quite a bit of dull stuff but the bit where Joe Elliot fronts the Spiders from Mars is fab

Neil Young Unplugged - brilliant flipside to Weld despite being I'll thought of by many

Suicide - 23 mins over Brussels 

 

Really looking forward to making my way through some of the recommendations posted above. God, I love live albums.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Mott the Hoople - Mott Live

Nice to see another Gino Vannelli fan here. I actually got to see that same band in 1992 in London at The Marquee (when it moved to Charing Cross Rd). Mike Miller on guitar, of course, who also played bass on one number. Drummer Enzo Tedesco totally blew me away, too. The whole gig was excellent. Only thing was Joe Vannelli playing all the other bass parts on keys/synth. He did an excellent job but just a shame they didn't go with a real bottom-ender! :)

Yeah, I have always liked GV.

 

Enzo was a great drummer and died far too young. I loved his playing with Frank Gambale in the 90's.

 

 

For some reason YouTube won't allow this video to embed. You have to click on the link (no Ads, so that might be the reason).

To all those who posted Motorhead - No Sleep till Hammersmith. Now I see your point!

They just played Overkill from that album on 6 Music. I thought the studio version was great......but the live version was on another level.

I was always told Live and Dangerous was one of the most over-dubbed live records in history.......

Good to see at least one basschatter likes Shadows and Light

Does anyone know who played Bass on the King Curtis Live album (recommend Soul Stew!)
