Best live album you've ever heard?

This is certainly inspired by the album that is kickin' it very LOUD here. I have many many live albums by every one from A-Z, but NONE come close to this one except Johnny Winter And Live, or the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. The Stones' Get Your Ya Ya's Out has to be the best live rock'n'roll album ever. God bless Mick Taylor. I live in a concrete block house, and it is still shakin'. If any of you know of a better live recording than these, please fill me in. Thanks, Tom

Well to name a few; John Mayall Turning Point.
(extended re master)
Humble Pie Live at the Filmore East
(classic vinyl 200 gram pressing)
Miles Davis Live at the Blackhack
(complete sessions box from Mosiac
Records 150gram.)
Charles Mingus Wonderland
Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsies
(Complete concert remaster.)
And of course Johnny Winter Live and The Allman Brothers Live at the filmore East are all performances that really sound good and sound like the musicians were having a good time.

I agree w/the previous Alice In Chains fans. It's depressing as you can get, but phew, depressing music has rarely sounded better on CD. Two thumbs way up.

Absolutely. They got this one so right -- spacious, dynamic, tonally balanced. I think this ranks right on up there.

Little Feat, Waiting for Columbus, double live rock and roll. Great!

Mahalia Jackson's "Live at Newport 1958" still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus", Bob Marley's "Live" of 1976 and Wes Montgomery's "Smokin at the Half Note" are some of my other favourites.
