Best LIVE albums

[XDivineFireX]

I love hearing a great live album...but they only thing that really makes it great, in my opinion, is one in which you can just feel the audiences excitement on the album, or just a totally different way to play a song than what you heard on the original track.

What rock and metal albums do you considered of the best quality?

[alytee123]

I will get flamed for this but the Slipknot live album is decent.

Opeth- The Roundhouse Tapes
Dream Theater- Scenes From new York

This is consistently entertaining. Also, the title doesn't make sense can someone break it down for me :?

Dream Theater - Score

[shindip]

Metallica- S&M is surprisingly awesome
How The West Was Won by Led Zep is dope
Dream Theater- any live album is awesome

[The Feeding]

staying A live maybe?

staying alive

[Stevie VII]

porbably something like s&m just for doing something different with the stuff
other than that i'm not really interested in live albums

[rasputin]

slayer - decade of aggression

[Meatplow]

staying A live maybe?

staying alive

Staying Alive might make sense, in a kind of survivalist macho image sort of way that could tie in with that bulldog on the microphone and the groups "live" experience.

Why they chose the word life is beyond me. Staying a life is not an action that can be performed, I suppose when you think about it a life could remain a life but this seems a redundant statement. It isn't a play on words that ties in to anything relevant such as the context of the release, the word life = life as far as I can tell. They are German so it might be a bad translation, but i'm sure somebody involved in its production would have picked it up sooner or later. Staying A Life, indeed.

Hard rockers to the end.

UDO

also why so much hate for live albums, they can be fun. I have a live soundboard recording of an old soundgarden show from 1989 it's pretty bomb

[easylee]

because they listen to bands that suck live

[jrowa001]

tangerine dream have excellent live albums. especially the Nagasaki series

[Aaron]

KISS Alive. Seriously awesome.

[Nosferatu]

i don't really care for live albums, but i do enjoy Tool - Salival

[bringonthebreakdown]

Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere

any DT dvds

Kamelot - On A Cold Winter's Night

[iranscam]

Wilco's Kicking Television.

/thread

[KnuckleKnuts]

AC/DC - Live

Pantera - Official Live 101 Proof

Alice in Chains - Unplugged

[betacortex]

Tool - Salival

It's mostly live stuff

[justinw]

Definitely Salival, though even with some songs beig live I wouldn't consider it a "live" album. Between The Buried and Me - Colors is amazing for a live album, IMO.

[shindip]

Alice In Chains and Nirvana unplugged are both classic live albums.

[Elitist Douche Bag]

Throwing Copper

[Bleekill]

Clutch - Live at the Googolplex
