Eric Clapton's - Unplugged
Alanis Morisette - MTV Unplugged
Alison Krauss & Union Station - So long So Wrong
These are still available and are well recorded too. The good thing about these live recordings is there's little remixing done.

C123666 - I think the GD show from Cornell you're referring to was 5/8/77 (Barton Hall-Ithaca, NY). Legendary second set, absolutely - but I was referring to live recorded LPs. |
If any of you would like to dip your toe in a classical suggestion, please consider Van Cliburn performing the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 with Kyril Kondrashin and the NBC Symphony, on RCA LP or CD.
It's really a very special performance.
Best regards. |
Bonnie Raitt "Road Tested" - in my collection, the live album by which all others are judged.
Brand X "Livestock" - amazing performance and really good quality. Astounding drumming from Phil Collins.
Diana Krall "Live in Paris" - again, terrific performance and sound quality.
Metallica "S&M" - the performance with the orchestra is unique, but listen to it with the band-only track, and you'll really appreciate what Metallica is about live. Another outstanding recording. |
The Smiths -Rank
The Smiths - Peel Sessions
Belle & Sebastian -The Black Sessions
Blondie - Picture This
Crass -Stations of the Cross
Duran Duran -Arena |

James Brown "Live at the Apollo" (the first one) and Charles Mingus "Live at Antibes." These are two of my favorite records. Neither I'm sure is an Audiophile Approved recording, especially the James Brown, but boy do they capture the all the music and emotion of the concerts. To me that makes a great recording. The live Belefonte lp sounds stilted to me; when I play it I find myself listening to the "hi-fi," not the music |
Ella Fitzgerald - Ella in Rome
War - Live
Sarah Vaughn - Live in Japan
Modern Jazz Quartet - Last Concert
The Band - The Last Waltz |

Great thread here gang. Airtaxi: the Jazz at the Pawnshop sessions surely must be considered one of the all time greats regarding the art of capturing and recording a live event. The second session of that recording is another gem to search out. A lot harder to find though,as I don't think they pressed many as the first. There are so many great live recordings, hopefully more will post here. A few that come to mind of the top of my head: [1] Blues... John Mayall's Jazz Blues Fusion lp captured live in New york and the second side in Boston. [2]Aretha Franklin's Amazing Grace LP. For Aretha fans,soul music and gospel music lovers, this recording is monumental and sure to send goosebumps down your spine.Catured live in a church in Los Angeles with the congregation, the choir and a great rhythm section that holds it all together. I am not a religeous man,nor am I a church goer but this recording redefines soul music for me. [3]The late great Stephane Grapelli/ David Grisman captured live at the Berklee centre in Boston. [4] Hendrix and the Band of Gypsys's 1969/70 New Years Eve bash capured live at the Fillmore in New York. [5] The Band....The Last Waltz... great stuff here, captured live with legendary guest appearances from Clapton,Muddy Waters,Dylan, Joni Mitchell,Neil Young,Van Morrison,Emmylou Harris and others. Released on Warner Brothers label.... the earlier pressings are really very good and preferred. Slipknot's recommendation of the Bill Evans trio at the village vanguard. That recording is incredible in both content and recording quality, truly special and a must have for jazz lover. Hopefully others will post more. This is great to see as I for one did not know Eva Cassidy's recording of Live at blues alley was even available on vinyl and definately one I will be searching for. Thanks Paul. |
I find other lps with very lively sound (not allways "good sound"). The same leage than others you say

- Carmen McRae "The great american songbook"
- Whitherspoon Rocking LA - It´s digital¡
- The modrn jazz quartet At budokan 1981 Digital too¡
Someone (Live in Paris Diana Krall I cant find as vinyl.

Very little classical guys, even less opera, someone has to listen to it:
Puccini La Boheme Thomas Beecham EMI
Richard Strauss Der Rosenkavalier karajan EMI
Cavalli Callisto Raymond Leppard Argo
Wagner The Flying Dutchman Nellson Phiilips
Gluck Oerfeo and Euridice Raskin RCA
None current but all around 2nd hand |
Wes Montgomery, Full House
Fantastic record, vintage Wes backed by The Rhythm Section and even Johnny Griffin on tenor sax. A one-night stand recorded in a crowded club in Berkeley.
Excellent sonics, although the panning is a little extreme but nothing unusual.
I was lucky enough to find a fantastic Japanese pressing. |
