Best live album of all time?

by **piecesofeight** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 9:48 am

Putting aside any pre thoughts you have about them, this cd rocks and kicks ass. Michael Sweet has one of the best rock voices if you care about actyal singing and screaming while carrting a tune.

I wouldn't have ranked the first two Genesis live albums ahead of "Three Sides Live" and "The Way We Walk." What was Classic Rock mag thinking?

I know it's like ten months later but you are kidding right?

From that list I voted for Lizzy, but my faves are

STYX....RETURN TO PARADISE
WHITESNAKE......LIVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
UFO.....STRANGERS
URIAH HEEP....LIVE 73 (No overdubs and the late great David Byron)
RAINBOW....ON STAGE (Stargazer still blows me away)
KANSAS ...TWO FOR THE SHOW
GIANT....LIVE & ACOUSTIC
NIGHT RANGER....ROCK IN JAPAN

Ime awaiting the new Dare live Cd with great anticipation

'Rush In Rio' pretty much sealed the deal for me, particularly in DVD format.

I know those others you all have mentioned have been fantastic live albums, but Rush is in my blood through and through - I'm too biased to pick otherwise.

Personally, my favorite is Live In Madison Square Garden - Springsteen, and though it's on the new side, Live In Buffalo - Goo Goo Dolls is a close second.

I've voted for Rush out of the choices given - but the best live band for me was a British group called FM. They'd win hands down every time!!!!

Close behind would be Def Leppard, then Thunder, then Richie Sambora (solo!! awesome!!)

by **Baseloaf** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 8:40 pm

Id say my favorite´s Iron Maiden´s Live at Hammersmith 1982.

by **boatontheriver70** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 9:25 am

I sign for Lizzy even if also "live at Leeds" sounds great...
but i've got a questions?

MADE IN JAPAN????????????

by **great king rat** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 8:02 pm

hi, i'm new here, how is everyone?

one live lp that always gets overlooked is SLADE ALIVE from the early 70's. becoz they were a glam rock band, and dressed up a little, and also never took things too seriously, people tend to dismiss them.
the live album came before all the success they had, and they do an incredible version of born to be wild on it too.

i think it's just fantastic.

i agree where is made in japan?

by **Penny** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 9:33 pm

Hi Rat, and welcome. Slade were great!!!!

Stones' Still Life ('82).

by **simoncook1969** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 9:18 am

I went for Live and Dangerous but I gotta say, I prefer Alive II to Alive anyway... Captured has to be up there. Looking to something more recent (why do we always go for old stuff when talking about the greats?) I love Live at the Gods by Harem Scarem. One of my fav bands so maybe very biased though, also Live and More by Fair Warning is a great album

by **Marty T.** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 6:08 am

Allman Bros. Live @ The Fillmore

by **journeyman8484** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 1:45 am

KISS Alive and Skynyrd's One More For The Road tied for best but Skynyrd wasn't an option so I obviously voted for KISS.

I really must take a listen to this Pretty Maids album. I've got all the other albums (I think) but I never got around to listen/buy this one. This is the umpteenth time I hear good things about this album.

My choice would be: Rainbow - On Stage and Whitesnake - Live In The Heart Of The City.

Yes!!!! Rainbow on stage - followed by Made In Japan = Deep Purple - followed by Asia live in Moscow....

by **IngoK** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 7:59 pm

Victory-Liveline
Deep Purple- Made in Japan
Iron Maiden-Life after death
Styx-Return to paradise
Queen-Live in Wembley

In no particular order....

Ditto - Rush in Rio is a phenomenal live DVD.

However, of those listed I would probably go for UFO - Strangers in the Night. Not that I think it is *currently* the best live album, but in its day (mid 70's) it was just so far ahead of any other live recording up to that point and for years was held up as the standard against which all live albums were judged. And it still stacks up well against most.

Serendipity, do go and buy the album. It's great. Best live album ever. I promise. So does Sarge.

Pretty Maids kick ass! That live version of Savage heart is pure perfection. Got everything they've put out. Great band!

Yep.

Queen: Live Killers

U2's Under a Blood Red Sky is, to me, the single greatest live album ever.
