Topic: Recommend exceptional live albums Posted: March 31 2006 at 12:15 |
i was just thinking, i don't listen to live albums very often, i am looking for albums where the material on the live album is much better than their studio efforts

i was thinking more in terms of something like Grobschnitt's Solar Music Live, it doesnt have to be the same style, it could be anything, just has that really good live vibe

Solar music live - Grobschnitt Playing the fool - Gentle giant The second part of tubular bells on exposed - Mike oldfield Umma Gumma - Pink Floyd, all the live tracks here are better than their studio counterparts Moonloop on Coma divine - Porcupine tree Made in Japan - Deep purple
Song remains the same - Led Zeppelin, I like the jamming here.

Genesis Live - for me all the versions on this improve on the originals. Much better performance and production.
