What are some good live albums/cds you own? Good sound is a nice bonus.
You may put down whatever you want such as "Get your ya ya's out", but are there some maybe we haven't all heard about yet?
The best I have bought lately is Delbert McClinton, "Live", a 2 CD set of a concert in Norway. Just excellent blues big band. I mean this album just smokes, Oh yeaahh, with excellent sound to boot.
Waltersalas, I've heard a lot about the Village Vanguard as far as a jazz venue, are the performances recorded there usually of high quality, music/sound wise?
My favorites are: 1) Lou Reed - Rock'n Roll Animal 2) Climax Blues Band - FM Live 3) Marshall Tucker Band - Where We All Belong (only disc 2 is live) 4) Mountain - Twin Peaks 5) Grateful Dead - Reckoning 6) Allman Bros. - At Fillmore East
1&2 were recorded at the same venue - Howard Stein's Academy of Music NYC.
Jsonic, Having a bit of inside info, the reason 5/8/77 hasn't been released as a Dick's Pick is that they try to shy away from shows that have really high quality recording already in circulation. That being said, they'll eventually get around to releasing just about everything givben enough time.
I own a number of these recordings, so the only one I'll add to the list is Simon & Garfunkle's "Concert In Central Park". The album has some great music, and is exceptionally well recorded for a live, open-air concert.
