A question I don't remember ever coming up here. My favorite is Live at Leeds, personally. ------------- Heaven's made a cesspool of us all. |

Made in Japan or Band of Gypsies from the list. The Allman Brothers' Live at Fillmore East that is not on the list. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

from the list Deep Purple Made In Japan. I rate also Led Zeppelin and Talking Heads very high. But, the ultimate live album for me is very probably The Allman Brothers' Live At Filmore East ... |

Live/Dead.....not to mention the slew of mesmerizing GD sets available from 66-69 (and I mean mesmerizing, they definitely influenced the Krautrock and electronica movements). ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

I haven't heard most of these, but Band of Gypsys has been one of my favourite albums.The one of these I'd most like to hear is David Bowie's Stage. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Live at Leeds for me. I have the deluxe edition with the performance of Tommy, so it only adds to the brilliance. 5* album and beats all the rest here with no competition imo. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Great Blues album featuring some of the best slide guitar work you're ever likely to hear still doesn't make it the ultimate live album IMO. Give me any number of live Cream albums featuring Baker on drums and Bruce on the base. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman nullify each other on guitar. From the list, Made in Japan and Live at Leeds are miles in front of the others. |

| I can't stand How The West Was Won, I don't get why there's so much praise for it. there's no doubt about the brilliance of Live At Leeds though. That's my vote. |

| My favorite is Live/Dead by the Grateful Dead. It's an absolutely genius live musical suite with a 23-minute Dark Star, featuring epic, legendary musical interplay and dialogue, time signature changes, moods, worlds of sounds woven together. If you don't know this record, your musical schooling is not complete. |

From the list it must be Made in Japan or Live at Leeds. Some inclusions are very weird: why Extraterrestrial live and not Some Enchanted Evening or On your feet or on your knees? How the west was won is a good live album but its release date (decades after the band is dead) is strange. And Queen's Wembley is good but Live Killers kills it almost without effort. But I choose On Stage from Rainbow. A great live album that show to the world that the soul of DP was still alive and reincarnated in another body, with goals but still making incredible good music. And it's a pity that it hasn't any single vote. ------------- Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante. |

My vote goes to Led Zeppelin, but not the listed album. "The Song Remains the Same" is my choice.

Toss up between Queen and BOC. Went with Queen.
Stage was ok, but I prefer David Live over that one. And I prefer Live Evil over Live at Last. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

| Band of Gypsys. But i prefer Live at Fillmore something which has the full set, or at least more of it. |

I'm not head over heels in love with any of the choices, though I consider at least half of them to be very good. My favorite prog-related/proto-prog live album (or just favorite live album, period) is Golden Earring Live, from 1977. Candy's Going Bad She Flies on Strange Wings Mad Love Comin' Radar Love Just Like Vince Taylor Eight Miles High Vanilla Queen To the Hilt Fightin' Windmills Con Man Perfect. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Where's "Live Dates" by WIshbone Ash? That album is better than "Made in Japan" (IMHO). Especially crank up "Lady Whiskey" and "Phoenix" and be amazed. |

My vote gets Blue Oyster Cult's ETL off the mark! The tracks 'Black Blade' and 'Veteran of the Psychic Wars' are especially good.
I also really like Purple's Made in Japan. Despite being a big Maiden fan, I never bought Live After Death  .-------------

Gawd, Live At Last is more bootleg and more or less disowned by Sabbath who were a bit rough around the edges live (I've a fair amount of the boots..) Song Remains should be there, Live At Leeds is great, Made In Japan also top notch (although the guitarless jam at the end of Space Truckin' leaves me a tad cold...). Do wonder if the different releases of all these albums are blurring their identity... Go for Killers over Wembley but that's (not) just me... On Stage is good but Live In Germany is better just for Stargazer alone - a glaring ommission from On Stage. Bowie's Stage I always rated highly, the BOC is also fine.... Band of Gypsies (spelt correctly unlike the title) a very cool album with Who Knows and Machine Gun as the evident high points... I think the Doors might have a superior upgraded and more fuller recent version. Amusing notes dept. I was "listening" to this once, more or less asleep (emotional exhaustion you understand). Then came that monotonous keyboard bass one note bit Jim threatened the audience with if they didn't behave. When he yelled out "SHUT UP" you've never seen anyone (me) go from snooze to outright fright. Back to the albums, the Iron Maiden seems to best represent Maiden, so much so they repeated it... I think How The West Was Won wins this time. Oddly I was behind the Iron Curtain in Warszawa when that finally emerged. Heavy rock, rock and roll, blues of quite some variety, folk (and a complete Black Dog!) |

Hi everybody!
I vote for Band of Gypsies, since Colosseum Live (my absolute favourite Live album) is not listed. |

| I really like some of these albums, in fact, most of them; my favourites are Live at Leeds, and the Doors, but the trouble is, I don't consider any of these as prog-related or proto-prog. My favourite live early prog track is 1-2-3 at the Marquee - now that really IS prog before its time. |

Out of those I know in this list, Muse's H.A.A.R.P is my favorite.
I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan, but Dickinson's vocals on Live after Death are so bad I never got into that album. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

I voted for the Who because it's a great live lp. Made In Japan is good but I never really thought their work was consistent and DP wrote some really medicore stuff over the years. The Doors were a sloppy band at times but fans thought they were entertaining live. Zep and Talking Heads are 2 good choices also. My personal favorite live lp of all time is Fillmore East by Allman Bros....we used to get ripped and play it all the time at college....great musicians. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

I do want to apologize for the overuse of blues scales in my selection, which I really don't like. It's just that some of the sonic elements, and that Hawkwindy jungajunga pre-Neu sound is there as a good proto-prog selection. And it proves the band can play their instruments. ------------- -- Robert Pearson Regenerative Music http://www.regenerativemusic.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net |

I voted for "Live After Death" as it's the only Maiden album I need. "Live at Leeds" is a close 2nd, especially the expanded re-released version that includes "A Quick One...". ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |
