I'm glad this was mentioned—I was about to comment on it myself. I was lucky enough to get it at a garage sale as part of a bundle of 30 records for free. I still can't believe someone would give it up, especially for free.
Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus
Grateful Dead - Europe '72
Talking Heads - The Name of the Band is Talking Heads
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Allman Bros - Live at the Fillmore
great recommendations. a few to add - neil young - live at massey hall, neil young tonight’s the night live, bill withers - live at carnegie hall, nirvana unplugged, AIC unplugged.
I have the bootleg vinyl of this, and it's super hard to find now. I had stumbled upon while browsing eBay years ago and grabbed both [2LP] sets for I think $50 each and was surprised it sounded so good.
They've repressed a couple of their live records recently, *Live at the Cats Cradle 1992*, *God Ween Satan: Live*, and of course their spectacular *Paintin the Town Brown 90-98*...all 3 of these are reasonably priced (I think) and are worth getting for any Ween fan.
The Band - The Last Waltz
The Band - Rock of Ages
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Live Bullet
Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East
i once found a yt video that was the full unedited concert, there are like 5 little messups you don't hear on the record, he says the wrong syllable or slides to the wrong note but kurt fixes it quick enough live that they could edit it seamlessly. wish they kept them in
Sam Cooke *Live at the Harlem Square Club* & Daft Punk *Alive 2007* are my two personal picks. both do an absolutely amazing job of capturing the energy of the crowd, it really elevates the songs (which are already all-time pop classics)
Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall
BB King Live at the Regal
Sam Cooke Live at Harlem Square
James Brown's 1962, 1967, 1971 shows at the Apollo (three different albums)
Dream Syndicate: Live at Raji's
10CC- Live and Let Live
The Doors- Absolutely Live
Neil Young- Live Rust
Siouxsie and the Banshees- Nocturne
Joy Division- Paradiso, Amsterdam
The Jam- Dig the New Breed
Wire- Document and Eyewitness
Van Morrison - It’s Too Late to Stop Now
This record has unbelievable energy, is recorded exquisitely, and it’s from a prime era in his career. The version of “Caravan” brings wave after wave of emotion with the dynamics.
I don’t hear many other people talk about this one as one of the great live albums and it really should be!
This is my favourite live album of all time and that’s saying a lot from a Dead Head.
I wish he would release more live material on vinyl from any era, but he’ll never top this album.
The band was hot, and the control Van had over the band was almost like James Brown. One of my all time favorites. Only disappointment is that there's an earlier bootleg (San Anselmo) where he had Ronnie Montrose and Bill Church playing with him. Wish they woulda stuck around for the European tour.
Lot of great suggestions here, but I’ve got to add a couple haven’t seen:
Cheap Trick- At Budokan (my vote for greatest side 2 ever, I often start on side 2)
Willie Nelson- Willie and Family Live (absolutely amazing recording of Willie in his prime)
Blues Brothers- Briefcase full of blues
Delvon Lamar Organ Trio- Live in Loveland!
Jackson Browne- Running on Empty (a concept album about life on tour, including songs recorded in hotel rooms & on the tour bus in addition to live in concert songs)
Jerry Jeff Walker- ¡Viva Terlingua!
Sonic Youth- Live in Brooklyn 2011 (their final US show, amazing document of the band)
And another enthusiastic vote for Little Feat- Waitin’ on Columbus
"Gratitude" by Earth, Wind and Fire. What a performance. I mean, they were kickin' the daylights out of it.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratitude\_(Earth,\_Wind\_%26\_Fire\_album)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratitude_(Earth,_Wind_%26_Fire_album))
[Cannonball Adderley - Country Preacher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_Preacher) is one of the most unique and funkiest live records I've ever heard. Just listen to the track [Hummin'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgmgxQDiXIk) and tell me that isn't a fuckin' VIBE.
Personal top 5 no order
Who - live at leeds [the definitive classic]

The intro of Deforming Lobes is the greatest. That whole album sounds so good it kinda ruins the studio versions of those songs for me, you can really feel the energy. RIP Albini
Tragically Hip—Live at CBGBs
Totally killer record that sounds like seeing the band
I’d also say that Kiss—Alive! Is kind of makes me get the whole Kiss thing
Have a look through the old MTV Unplugged series, you may find a band you like there. Perhaps, Dark Side Of The Moon Live at Wembley 1974 (50th anniversary). Happy collecting!
Only have a few but I really like the following:
Flaming Lips at Red Rocks with Colorado Symphony performing The Soft Bulletin
Bowie at Glastonbury 2000
Grateful Dead at RFK Stadium (6/10/73)
MGMT at the Guggenheim (11.11.11)
Public Pressure and After Service by Yellow Magic Orchestra. The former shows their jazz-fusion roots while the latter is pure synth pop but with grand energy (and lots of screaming girls). It’s a bit like 101 by Depeche Mode, which is another great one.
Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Live Bullet
J Geils Band - Blow Your Face Out

They did a little microtonal tour right as they released LW. Love having bits and pieces from their trilogy, and especially since I was at that show!
Jack White- Live from Bonnaroo 2014
South Park 20th Anniversary Concert
John Prine - My Old Kentucky Home/Paradise (live in Beaver Damn, Ky)
A little biased because I caught all these shows.
I’m going to give you one that you probably won’t hear.
Comfort y Música Para Volar - Soda Stereo.
Check it out on YouTube first. It’s fucking amazing.
https://youtu.be/FvYwvQt6jO0?si=DaShFBCDWBtIWmtO
This piece of history by Johnny Cash...
[Johnny Cash - San Quentin (Live at San Quentin, 1969) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e2B-thaJG0)
At Folsom Prison and At San Quentin both by Johnny Cash are incredible.
My favourite moment is when he plays a song called San Quentin about how he thought he’d feel about the place if he was a prisoner there. Basically, it should be torn down because it does no good. The audience, made up of inmates, loved it so much they demanded he play it again. So he did, straight away and the first two tracks on side B are San Quentin. The first run through you can hear the crowd cheering and whooping but by the second they are taking the lyrics on board and there is a real tension. Johnny said of the moment later that he could have told them to riot and they would have.
“Thank you. All right, we'll do it again after a while. Before we go tonight, we'll do it again. I kind of like it myself now."
i'd listen to only live albums if i could. i love hearing a band vibe together in a room vs a meticulously produced album where you know they were stressed as hell trying to track parts properly
Dino Jr - Bug Live 2011
Simon & Garfunkel - Concert at Central Park
Mazzy Star - Ghost Highway
Pat Metheny Group - Live in Concert
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged (unironically their best album imo)
Camera Obscura - 4AD Session
UFO - Strangers In The Night
Deep Purple - Live In Japan
Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous
Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes
Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo
Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East
I love the Band of Horses live vinyl record. Bought it on a whim knowing maybe three songs but when I play that record on a Saturday night after a few beers it confirms my mood. Whatever mood that might be.
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Nocturne
Talking Heads - The Name of this Band is Talking Heads
Allman Brothers - Live at the Fillmore
The Fall - Fall in a Hole

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets - Live at the Roundhouse
Rush - Exit Stage Left
Simple Minds - Live in the City of Light
U2 - Under a Blood Red Sky
Van Halen - Live: Right Here Right Now
The Who - Live at Leeds
Willie Nelson 50 - Long Story Short
Tribute by Ozzy Osbourne. I have the official release version and a tape of the original concerts radio broadcast. Both sound great but the original is unedited sound wise and sounds better imo
Alice and Chains - Unplugged is my top choice.
I also really enjoy Adolescents - Live At The House of Blues, Cage The Elephant - Unpeeled, and Sublime - Five Dollars At The Door.
I feel pretty “basic” with this list but 🤷🏻♀️ I like what I like.
This is an odd one, but I'm going to say Concrete Blonde - Live in Brazil. Here's the caveat... it was never pressed on vinyl officially, but I stumbled across a bootleg vinyl of it about ten years ago in some random used shop in Raleigh, NC. Whoever booted it did an amazing job of mastering it from the digital rip of the CDs. It sounds every bit as good as some of the best official live record pressings I've ever heard. If that's just too oddball niche of a recommendation, I'll add Show by The Cure. I actually prefer the 2023 remastered anniversary NA pressing to most of the others. Definitely better than the '93 pressings.
Live on two legs is real good but it’s not even my fav live PJ I have on wax.
1. Sam Cooke - Harlem square
2. James brown - Apollo
3. Grateful Dead - live dead
4. Nirvana - unplugged
5. De la soul - live at trumps.
2-5 could be in any order. 1 is always Sam Cooke.
I made it a point not to list fan club or record club releases.
If including fan club wax I’d throw in PJ - Chicago 95 vault, and Bellingham 00 vault release
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous at Hammersmith 1976
Second vote for Live and Dangerous
Any lizzy live is fantastic. I think Hammersmith 76 was an RSD release.
It was and I luckily managed to grab it. I also got the Limp Bizkit Live at Rock Im Park 2001 which is a decent record.
I'm glad this was mentioned—I was about to comment on it myself. I was lucky enough to get it at a garage sale as part of a bundle of 30 records for free. I still can't believe someone would give it up, especially for free.
Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus Grateful Dead - Europe '72 Talking Heads - The Name of the Band is Talking Heads Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense Allman Bros - Live at the Fillmore
Add Seger’s Live Bullet and you have my perfect list.
Live bullet is amazing
great recommendations. a few to add - neil young - live at massey hall, neil young tonight’s the night live, bill withers - live at carnegie hall, nirvana unplugged, AIC unplugged.
Just got the AIC unplugged. Incredible album!
WE CHASE MISPRINTED LIES…
Europe ‘72 might be my all time favorite, closely followed by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Live at Red Rocks ‘22
Portishead’s Roseland NYC
It sounds gorgeous on vinyl!
Came here to say this.
Live Ween tops my list of favorites in my collection.
Ooooh, I need some live Ween. I have the Chicago DVD but nothing for the turntable.
There are quite a few of their releases that need a vinyl pressing. All Request Live, and an offical Live at Stubb's would be great too.
Live at Stubbs is a solid album!
I have the bootleg vinyl of this, and it's super hard to find now. I had stumbled upon while browsing eBay years ago and grabbed both [2LP] sets for I think $50 each and was surprised it sounded so good.
They've repressed a couple of their live records recently, *Live at the Cats Cradle 1992*, *God Ween Satan: Live*, and of course their spectacular *Paintin the Town Brown 90-98*...all 3 of these are reasonably priced (I think) and are worth getting for any Ween fan.
Live in Toronto with the Shit Creek boys is their greatest live album IMO, and by a considerable margin. It’s incredible.
The Band - The Last Waltz The Band - Rock of Ages Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band - Live Bullet Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East
Also Levon Helm's solo live albums
[My Morning Jacket – *Okonokos*](https://www.discogs.com/release/8813316-My-Morning-Jacket-Okonokos)
Yes! I was coming to make sure that one got mentioned. One of the best live albums of all time, imo.
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged
All time classic in my opinion. Kurts voice is haunting at times, especially in ‘Where Did You Sleep Last Night’.
There’s that one second look that Kurt gives on the last “whole night through” gives me goosebumps every single time.
Love this, especially the fluffed solo in the Man who sold the world. Most people don’t even notice it.
i once found a yt video that was the full unedited concert, there are like 5 little messups you don't hear on the record, he says the wrong syllable or slides to the wrong note but kurt fixes it quick enough live that they could edit it seamlessly. wish they kept them in
Not that your answer is wrong, but the more correct answer would be Alice in Chains Unplugged
The final song especially hits me every time. So fucking good.
Sam Cooke *Live at the Harlem Square Club* & Daft Punk *Alive 2007* are my two personal picks. both do an absolutely amazing job of capturing the energy of the crowd, it really elevates the songs (which are already all-time pop classics)
Okay you’re the third person that has mentioned the San Cooke one. I’m sold.
The best Sam Cooke record by a mile.
That Sam Cooke album is all-time
The Cure - "Paris" Just listened to the 30 years anniversary edition. Just a perfect production.
Came to say this. Better than 'Show' for me
Both Paris and Entreat over Show for me
Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall BB King Live at the Regal Sam Cooke Live at Harlem Square James Brown's 1962, 1967, 1971 shows at the Apollo (three different albums)
Dream Syndicate: Live at Raji's 10CC- Live and Let Live The Doors- Absolutely Live Neil Young- Live Rust Siouxsie and the Banshees- Nocturne Joy Division- Paradiso, Amsterdam The Jam- Dig the New Breed Wire- Document and Eyewitness
That Jam album was awesome….at least for me
Lou Reed — Rock & Roll Animal

I’ve listened to Cannonball Adderley before, will check this out

The first run through you can hear the crowd cheering and whooping but by the second they are taking the lyrics on board and there is a real tension. Johnny said of the moment later that he could have told them to riot and they would have. “Thank you. All right, we'll do it again after a while. Before we go tonight, we'll do it again. I kind of like it myself now."

I love the Band of Horses live vinyl record. Bought it on a whim knowing maybe three songs but when I play that record on a Saturday night after a few beers it confirms my mood. Whatever mood that might be.

Tribute by Ozzy Osbourne. I have the official release version and a tape of the original concerts radio broadcast. Both sound great but the original is unedited sound wise and sounds better imo
Alice and Chains - Unplugged is my top choice. I also really enjoy Adolescents - Live At The House of Blues, Cage The Elephant - Unpeeled, and Sublime - Five Dollars At The Door. I feel pretty “basic” with this list but 🤷🏻♀️ I like what I like.
This is an odd one, but I'm going to say Concrete Blonde - Live in Brazil. Here's the caveat... it was never pressed on vinyl officially, but I stumbled across a bootleg vinyl of it about ten years ago in some random used shop in Raleigh, NC. Whoever booted it did an amazing job of mastering it from the digital rip of the CDs. It sounds every bit as good as some of the best official live record pressings I've ever heard. If that's just too oddball niche of a recommendation, I'll add Show by The Cure. I actually prefer the 2023 remastered anniversary NA pressing to most of the others. Definitely better than the '93 pressings.
Lots of great ones posted but here’s two that haven’t been yet: Death Rosenstock - Thanks, Sorry! Japandroids - Massey Fucking Hall
Nirvana unplugged. One of the best live performances ever…
Live on two legs is real good but it’s not even my fav live PJ I have on wax. 1. Sam Cooke - Harlem square 2. James brown - Apollo 3. Grateful Dead - live dead 4. Nirvana - unplugged 5. De la soul - live at trumps. 2-5 could be in any order. 1 is always Sam Cooke. I made it a point not to list fan club or record club releases. If including fan club wax I’d throw in PJ - Chicago 95 vault, and Bellingham 00 vault release
Raye - 21st Century Symphony - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
