Live Albums Recorded and Released in the 1990s

Marillion - Made Again

AFlowerKingCrimson wrote: The Flower Kings - Live on Planet Earth

I actually looked up The Flower Kings while preparing the poll (in part because I was thinking of you), and while that was recorded in 1998 and 1999, both PA and RYM list the release date as 2000 (29 February, 2000 according to RYM for release). 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.

These are live album from the 1990s. I did not include archival releases or bootlegs, so if the material was not recorded in the 90s, and if it is considered a bootleg, then it does not count for the poll (perhaps could have official bootlegs but I wish to avoid). I also expect it to have been released as a live album in the 90s. And I only wish to include one album per act. Oh, and this is not multiple choice votes, but if the blank options fill up (or mostly fill up) then I might change it to multiple votes later. But please mention any you like.

I have left spaces for other mentions. Please mention what others you would like in the poll, particularly from acts not mentioned, but not archival or bootlegs please (maybe an official bootleg could be added, but specify then), and it should have been released in the 1990s. And please do not vote for a space until the option is up. Feel free to suggest substitutions if the act has no votes, and of course mention any of your favourites recorded in the 90s.

These choices go outside my knowledge and while in Prog polls, two of my favourites not in PA I could not resist adding: the Fishmans and Portishead albums. My other favourites are the Swans, Cardiacs, Dead Can Dance and Current 93 albums (Current 93 not as much, actually). I actually have Peter Gabriel's Secret World on CD-Rom somewhere that I put in the 90s for my computer.

Here is playlist of a track off the albums I know well with one per act:



EDIT: Added seven more (from Ankedoten to Ozric Tentacles) of those that were mentioned in two posts to fill the spaces that were both recorded and released in the 1990s, thanks. And possibly will be changing it from single vote to multiple votes later if wanted (like vote for your favourite three). I do quite like vote for one even if I added some more. And added The Yellow Shark.
