What are your favourite live album covers, Prog and Non prog? Or which are the best if you prefer, the ones maybe that sum up the listening experience too?

 

Ok

Prog: Seconds Out,not my fave, but a darn god live cover that sums it up and has become quite iconic!

Non Prog: Live After Death........maybe?

I love Crimson´s live album covers, like Circus or Vroom Vroom... also the music is great ..

Pictures at an exhibition is an iconic cover i think

Live Scenes From New York has quite a good cover, even if its launch date was rather unfortunate.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Yes it does. The studio album has the picture with the mirrors, and the live disc has that cool photo of a racing car made out of studio equipment

Genesis Live is a haunting cover.  I'm just facinated by Gabriel standing there with that strange headpiece with the pinkish highlight and the blue lighting. 

Just cool!

live album covers that stand out as being good:

King Crimson -- USA; Mahavishnu -- Between Nothingness and Eternity; Miles Davis -- Miles in Berlin (that's got to be the coolest photo of Davis ever). 

covers that stand out as being bad:

Yes -- 9012Live; Zappa's 'You Can't Do That On Stage Any More' series (some photos would have been nice); Rush in Rio; Jethro Tull -- A Little Light Music.
