The Black Crowes thread got me downloading some of their music on itunes.  That got me to some of their live stuff which I have been really enjoying.

 

Looking for recommendations.

Rush - Exit Stage Left is one of my favorites. I had it on vinyl, but when I finally bought a CD player, it's the first CD I ever purchased.

Neil's Unplugged is fantastic.

Petty & The Heartbreakers Live Anthology

Dylan & The Band Rolling Thunder Revue

My Morning Jacket - Oknokos

REK - No. 2 Live Dinner

Joe Ely - Live at Liberty Lunch

Ween Live at Stubbs 7/2000

TVZ Live at The Old Quarter

Metallica - Live Shit: Binge and Purge

Guy Clark - Live From Austin, TX

Wilco - Kicking Television

Sam Cooke - Live in Harlem

These wont be new to anyone, but a few favorites: The Dead's Europe '72, The Last Waltz, Nirvana Unplugged 

 

The two greatest live albums of all time:

I almost put this in the forgotten albums thread.

But this is probably my favorite and would fit well into the OP's Black Crowes rotation

this is possibly the most offensive post i've ever seen.

Todd Snider's "Near Truths and Hotel Rooms" is a great record.  Way better than any single studio record he's made, IMO.  His personality comes out a lot more, and the in-between-song stories are entertaining as hell.  

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out is a great live album.  And dare I say, the only Stones live album worth a damn.

I can't find the whole thing, but Henrix's set at Monterey is killer:

And this is a true fav.  I never get tired of listening to it:

 

Not much of a live album fan, but Ian Moore: Live from Austin is my favorite for this song alone.

 

My favorite country album from its time:

Song For You-

Proud Souls-

Somewhere Down In Texas-

 

Edited by Goo Punch

Ya-Ya's is so great. The guitar tone on that album is fantastic.

I love Cheap Trick, so "At Budokan" is the correct response.  However, jimmyjazz already listed it, so I'll mention two other CT live albums, "Music for Hangovers" and "Silver," both of which are worthy, esp. the former.

I love "How the West Was Won", but Page did go back and overdub some of the guitars to cover some of his mistakes.

That's pretty common in "live" albums, actually.  For example, it's a running joke that Live and Dangerous is part studio album due to all the overdubs.

This is from their 89-90 tours and is outstanding. Branford Marsalis makes an appearance on a couple of the songs as well.

I should probably revisit that record.

 

Also... Jackson Browne.  Hell, yes.  Such a musical masterpiece and a snapshot in time.  

Maybe the record that had the biggest influence on me as a little kid was The Secret Policeman's Other Ball.  Sting, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Phil Collins, etc.... mostly doing stripped-down versions of their songs.  As a kid, listening to album rock on FM radio, there just wasn't any forum where I heard rock songs presented that way.  It made a huge impression on me.  I think I wore our two or three cassettes before buying it on CD as an adult.  

 

Together at the Bluebird Cafe... Townes, Guy and Steve Earle. Second won’t even be close.

Despite @Chad Fuck feeling to the contrary, this is the Stones' best live album (Paris and the El Mocombo Club):

90526824-a548-4d0e-9ef2-036ba42cd3df

Mick Taylor Stones are best Stones.  

But that's a debate for another thread.

That was recorded with my gear.  (I didn't work on it, though.)


Jerry Jeff Walker -- "Viva Terlingua"



Until this post, I just assumed you dipshits didn’t consider this to be a live album.

It so goddamn good. Have long had it digitally but found it on vinyl at an estate sale in my neighborhood a few weeks back for $4. Didn't waste a second picking it up. In retrospect, I should've grabbed the David Allen Coe that was there too for $4 because I didn't recognize it. No telling if it might've been worth something.

Knopfler and Emmylou (two of my all time favorite artists to begin with) - All the Roadrunning

Patty Griffin - A Kiss in Time (her performance of Nobody Crying on that one is perfection).

Lots of good ones above.  Tom Waits' "Nighthawks At The Diner".  You can smell the cigarettes and scotch when you listen to it.

Curious....why Antone's over Liberty Lunch?   

Jesse Guitar Taylor  and Lloyd Maines trading licks on Up on a Ridge and Teye's flamenco on A Thousand miles from Home for one.  That and LaLL was already posted.
