Live Albums Recorded and Released in the 1990s

Nether do I, but too good, too much of a personal favourite and too well-liked a band by various people at PA to want to exclude. And for its psych/ acid qualities. A psychedelic component or quality is a significant aspect of much of what I love in PA. Wonderful boozy-woozy qualities to Portishead regardless.

Portishead's Third is the album by the band that is most related, I believe, for its experimental, Krautrock and post-rock qualities.

Fishmans is the other not in PA. Here is the longest track off that live album:

Peter Gabriel from this list.

I could vote for a lot of these! I went with Live Underslunky because it got more rotation than Forever Live or Keys to Ascension. Others like Ghost in the Ruins and Bring 'Em Back Alive took me longer to get around to hearing. In those days, the Ozrics were an autobuy and I thought they could do no wrong.

^ Thanks.

Still haven't looked through AFKC's (Mike's_ list mostly, but fates Warning would work. Still Life was both recorded and released in 1998. Might opt to include official bootlegs. I dropped the ball big-time by not adding that Magma live. I have more Magma lives than anyone else and for some reason was think that was archival, but of course it was recorded and released in 1992. As it's one of my very favourite bands, that is a major omission and will surely be added.

----------

And from Mike's list, verified:

Arena - Welcome to the Stage (1997)
Dixie Dregs - Bring 'Em Back Alive (1992)
Peter Hammill - Typical (recorded 1992, released 1999)
Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky (1992)

And from both of your lists: Anekdoten - Official Bootleg: Live in Japan (1998). While I was not planning to add bootlegs, official or otherwise, this is too significant a band to want to to miss and I had considred adding this originally.

--------------------

Okay, adding:

Anekdoten - Official Bootleg: Live in Japan (1998)
Arena - Welcome to the Stage (1997)
Dixie Dregs - Bring 'Em Back Alive (1992)
Fates Warning- Still Life (1998)
Magma - Live Douarnenez '92 (1992)
Peter Hammill - Typical (recorded 1992, released 1999)
Ozric Tentacles - Live Underslunky (1992)

Cheers.

Camel, Yes, King Crimson.

All That Glitters Is A Mares Nest will be very very hard to beat but I still haven't listened to the Swans live album, and as a lover of life albums I also will use your playlist to explore some more that I don't yet know.

^ Thanks. I knew that Rush one was part archival (part being 70s). Bootlegs, even official, I didn't want to include. The Zappa (Make a Jazz Noise Here) I had looked at and while it was released in 1991, it was recorded in 1988.

I'll look into some others where the act is not already represented.

EDIT: Come to think, no big deal stretching the parameters a bit to allow lives recorded in the 90s and released not very long after, especially if someone loves that album and wants to vote for it. Recording dates tend to interest me more than release dates. It can get confusing, especially as so many live albums really are compilations of live performances. And some end up actually have some studio works.... So I probably will add The Flower Kings -- I mean the 90s is so close to the official release date. I'm no contortionist but that doesn't mean I can't be at all flexible.

^ That;s one of these I have not heard yet.

Fine to mention such ones, but unless one can demonstrate that it was both recorded AND released in the 1990s then I would rather not include it in the poll. Björk has plenty of live music recorded in the 1990s that I love, but not released until the 2000s. If suggesting ones, it would help to list the recording dates and release dates. Ok, fair enough. To be honest I wasn't sure when it was actually released but know it was at least recorded in the 90s. Thanks for thinking of me though.

It so on the cusp that I felt annoyed when excluding it and question my M.O. At least it gets mentioned, which matters more to me than the poll itself. I commonly think about members of the community when I make polls/ topics as well as when I respond to topics, and you are a prominent member of this community.

I have not heard either, but just went with what I had seen as higher rated at Prog Archives and Rate Your Music. One issue I read with Japan Live was too much annoying noise from the audience. I have been to so many concerts and wanted to get on stage, take over the mic and tell people to shut up. Bad idea. I'm like, "Music listening is serious business!" And my wife is all like, "C'mon, let them have their fun and enjoy themselves." Then I'm like, "Yeah, sure, whatever."
