    I personally think the Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies album is the best live album, if not the best album ever, live or not.

    What do you guys think?

    The Who – live at leeds
    Pink Floyd – Pulse
    Meat Puppets – live in Montana
    Nirvana – unplugged
    Husker Du – The living End
    Bob Mould – LiveDog ’98

    The only live recordings I’ve ever liked enough to own are Kiss’ Alive! I + II.

    I agree, but then I love The Who.

    actually before it was re-issued in it’s full glory, I think I might have dissagreed, I wasn’t so keen on the original ‘chopped to death’ 6 track version.

    but this 2 cd version is incredible.

    Ignoring whether it’s the “best” — but one live album I’ve always liked is Talking Heads’ “The Name of the Band is Talking Heads” — which is not to be confused with the later (and much more popular) “Stop Making Sense” (which was too slick and polished for me) — the older one also has plenty of cool Adrian Belew stuff.

    Oh, and another I’ve always been fond of is Velvet Underground’s “1969:Live (Vols 1 & 2)”

    13th Floor Elevators Live
    Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya Yas Out
    Iggy Pop TV Eye Live
    Wire On The Box
    Nirvana Unplugged

    If we included BBC or John Peel sessions, I would have a lot more to add.

    Yeah I have “Stop Making Sense”, and the whole thing is disappointing except for “Girlfriend is Better.”

    Another great live album is The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back!) by Blink-182.
