Best live album you've ever heard?

Johnny Winter And Live is the best Trich727 you are right.

Also thank you to Elgordo for Bravo Brubeck, the day I read this post I was at the music store and found Bravo Brubeck (vinyl used $3) and it is really tasty (I am listening now) Good Call!

Definitely some of the above mentioned albums bring back great memories! Most notably Allman Brothers: Fillmore East, Brand X: Livestock, Ellington at Newport.

Also, I know this doesn't count because its a bootleg tape,
but I used to love listening to the famous "Roscoe Pavillion" Grateful Dead tape. Does anyone know if that material is available on vynyl or cd now?

Final Vote however still goes to Gentle Giant Playing the Fool :)

Anybody mention The Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions?" Tecnically there was no real audience but the whole thing was recorded live in a church and it sounds great. I still use both the CD and the LP when checking out a new piece of gear. I don't know that it would have any real historical value like some of the other "live" albums but it is a fun listen!

Heart - "The Road Home" It might suprise you. Produced by John Paul Jones

Hbarrel: I saw Heart when they were the "house band" at a bar in Seattle. They had excellent sound and could really move an audiance.

Two LP's stand out in my listening experience for great sound from a live recording; David Bowie Live at the Tower in Philly (double album), and The Guess Who Live (I don't know if that is the correct title, the album was "borrowed"), that has an extended version of "American Woman" revealing a truely political and nasty side of the band. I love them both.
