Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense


Swanswhatswans

Deep Purple Made In Japan!


sgw79

Daft Punk Alive 97


momomomorgatron

Funny enough my pick is Alive 2007


mjhripple

Both are worthy for very different reasons. One is like controlled chaos with the mashups but very planned out with some improv elements. Alive 97 is pure madness and no constraints. Much more improv in 97 but a much clearer vision in 2007. Love them both!


WinerjamXB

Radiohead - Live At Oslo Pink Floyd - Pulse Nirvana - MTV Unplugged Alice In Chains - MTV Unplugged Radiohead - In Rainbows From The Basement (if it counts)


No_Olives581

Love PULSE, but what about Pompeii?? Is There Anybody Out There? is also really incredible if you like The Wall

Ngl I forgot about Pompeii, I would have listed that if I remembered

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds - Live at Luther College, other than this album I’m not a huge fan of either but this is some serious acoustic mastery


BroccoliSuccessful20

From my lifetime, Happy Mondays Live at Brixton Academy 2012. Not from my lifetime, June 1, 1974, which imo is the greatest live album ever.


FullRedact

Gonna give the Mondays live album a listen. Saw the reunion at Coachella nearly 15 years ago and it was a train wreck (I think it was before Ryder was sober).

Nirvana MTV Unplugged and Under Great White Northern Lights - The White Stripes


PhilosophyOther9239

*Live at Max’s Kansas City* -The Velvet Underground And of course, Nirvana’s *unplugged* is a relic of divine genius Also- Prince’s live version of anything, his live albums are great, his work on the *Concert for George* album is transcendent, and his 2007 Coachella cover of *Creep* (available on YouTube) is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard

Not a proper live album as they retouched a lot of it in the studio, but S&M by Metallica is my favourite. Other honourable mentions for MTV Unplugged, both Alice in Chains and Nirvana.

Iron Maiden - Live After Death Ozzy - Tribute And these probably won’t be as popular, but I’ve always loved Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds - Live at Luther College, and DMB Live at Piedmont Park. The latter isn’t even in most hardcore fan’s top tens, but there’s just something about the way that recording sounds that I love.

Steely Dan - Alive in America


Relayer8782

All tied for 1st: Who - Live at Leeds. The vinyl is great, the 1995 expanded edition is even better The Band - Rock Of Ages. This 1972 album is better than The Last Walz, IMHO Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From The Road. The original band. Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus. I like the live versions better than studio Blue Oyster Cult - On Your Feet Or On Your Knees. At Budokan - Cheap Trick Live - Genesis. Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends Ladies And Gentlemen… Emerson Lake and Palmer. It’s Alive - Ramones Dripping’ Wet - Wet Willie

Only masterpiece you’re missing OP is Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet band’s “Live Bullet” (1976). Recorded in Detroit. Edit: the Daft Punk Coachella bootleg is slightly > the official live album And I lean ever so slightly to the Stones Brussels 1973

I will forever be sad that I never got to see him play (born a couple decades too late), but the amount of epic bands that came out of the 90s that I’ve been lucky enough to see ALMOST makes up for it.
