Coming from you, I would expect to find out that you've attended that very concert Tongue
I've never seen Rush live.
 
 
...I was in the audience of only one of the albums I listed (The Enid) - I did see one of the only two gigs 801 ever performed, but not the recorded one (I do believe there is a recording of it though) and I did see Bowie during the Stage tour, Tangerine Dream during the "Ricochet" tour and Oldfield during the Incantations tour, but not the shows recorded.
 
I would have sold my soul (if I had one) to see the ACNE 1974 concert.
What?

Oh, I´m sclerotic, Led Zeppelin "The Song Remains The Same"  was my first record on MC. I like it!
801: Live is amazing too.

Real Time - Van Der Graaf Generator
 
An immaculate setlist that pretty much includes all the fan favorites, but still manages to be interesting and lively enough to be more than just a "Best of" album.  Amazing performances.

Hammill sounds AWFUL on that album.  I'd have rated that album as 4 stars if he didn't essentially ruin the experience.

To each his own, but I found some of the tracks to be better than the studio versions (particularly "The Undercover Man.")  Peter Hammill sounds great, but I am biased.

Remember Shakti - Saturday Night Live in Bombay
Jethro Tull - Live at Madison Square Garden DVD
Gentle Giant - Giant on the Box DVD
King Crimson - Night Watch
And only and only for an unbelievable performance of Prologue, will pick the Song of Scheherazade DVD of Renaissance over, among others, Live at Carnegie Hall.  It's a tough choice between that DVD and the Albert Hall recording, though.

The only live album in my regular listening, "The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads"

They sound a million times better live, at least on that recording they do.
