favorite live albums

[dart93]

A post in Main inspired me to post this question. What are your favorite live albums? Here are a few of mine.

Rolling Stones: "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" and "No Security." "No Security" is a cool disc because it doesn't bother with the warhorses. It features an absolutely blistering version of "Live With Me."

Aerosmith: "A Little South of Sanity."

Guns n' Roses: "Live Era '87-'93."

I'm a sucker for symphonies and have always been a closet Metallica fan.

Since we all know that most live albums have some degree of touchups after the fact;

Yngwie - Trial by Fire.
Pink Floyd - The Delicate Sound of Thunder.
Van Halen - Right Here, Right Now.
Harem Scarem - Live in Japan.
Ozzy/Randy - Tribute.
Dokken - Beast from the East.
KISS - Alive II.

How could I have forgotten "Exit Stage Left?" "Different Stages" is another excellent Rush live album.

I listen to live albums more than studio albums so my list would be huge but I'll try.

I'll include a few that aren't even rock (or at least hard rock)

Limiting it to older ones:

Live at Leeds
Made in Japan
Unleashed in the East
All the World's a Stage
Hot August Night
At Folsom Prison
Randy Rhoads Tribute
How the West Was Won
One More From the Road
Pulse
Live After Death

AC/DC - If you want blood...

Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East

How could I have forgotten "Exit Stage Left?"

edit:
Oh and Little Feat...yeah that WAS a good one.

I should've included Exit Stage Left! That one gets at least an annual listening, a tradition like decorating the Christmas tree.

EVERYONE should own a copy of Waiting for Columbus by Little Feat! Phenomenal album on every level!

Tribute & Speak of the Devil, for me, as well.

I love both those Ozzy albums, and i think Brad sounds great on the all Sabbath
material.

[Naked Wake]

Yngwie- Live in Leningrad
Scorpions- World Wide Live
Randy Rhoads Tribute
Iron Maiden- Live After Death
Deep Purple- Olympia '98

A lot of live albums are not really "live" but are heavily tampered with in the studio, so I've always been cautious of what we refer to as an actual live album anymore. I can't stand it these days but I think Black Flag's Who's Got the 10.5? is probably one of the purest live albums I've ever come across. It's totally unpolished.

I forgot another one I heard a lot growing up, via my Dad;

Ten Years After: Live Bootleg.

Alvin Lee was pretty wailing back then! Cool to find out many years later that a other hero of mine -Jake E. Lee - was also a fan of him. Jake also mentioned liking Jeff Healey... A fallen icon from up here...

How did he fall (hopefully not by tripping over something)?
