needlerunner Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Marillion live at Albert Hall is my fave at the moment.Steven Wilson's Home Invasion is also pretty special.Any other live Marillion, Fish, Porcupine Tree, Pineapple Thief and l still have a soft spot for Deep Purple's Live in Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost4man Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 21 hours ago, Citroen said: I like live albums for their immediacy and atmosphere, which can often make up for the less than stellar sound quality, or the odd cough. Quick scan of my albums, all of these I can highly recommend Nirvana – MTV Unplugged In New York Leonard Cohen, Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 Tom Waits – Glitter And Doom Live Wilco – Kicking Television: Live In Chicago Alice In Chains – MTV Unplugged Johnny Cash, Live at Folsom Prison Coltrane - Live At the Village Vanguard Jeff Buckley, Live at Sin-E Fela Kuti - Live! Bernstein, Mahler Symphony No 2, NYPO Joy Division -Still (Live, bonus) Rodrigo Y Gabriela – Live Manchester And Dublin Bill Callahan – Rough Travel For A Rare Thing B.B. King - Live at the Regal Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains The Same Ella in Berlin – Mack The Knife Miles Davis: Live at the Plugged Nickel + Tom Waits. There is a rawness to this guys voice that is at once Death Metal followed by a mix of blues and Rolling Stones rhythm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroen Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Indeed. I have about a dozen lps of live Tom Waits performances but mostly the sound quality is below average due to their bootleg nature. Thankfully, that's not the case with the officially released Glitter and Doom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRSDarwin Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Thanks for all the recommendations. I’ve been in Katherine for a few days so only got the chance to start making my way through the recommendations tonight. Started with Belafonte at Carnegie Hall which brought back memories of my parents playing him on vinylwhen I was a kid. I knew most of the songs! Then moved on to Paul Simon’s Concert In The Park. Graceland is one of my favourite albums (vinyl and CD) which I think is really well recorded with high sq. I enjoyed the additional rhythm section of the concert. Not it sure how I forgot Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, Neil Diamond Hot August Night or Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live. Must be that drop of sweat as JukKluk2 said.

THOMO Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Mountain Man- Yours Truly Session which are live recordings .Or rather "on location" recordings. Wonderful natural recordings and vocal harmonies.Who needs a studio when you can make recordings like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRSDarwin Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Recently acquired and been enjoying a very folksy Neil Young Tonight’s the Night Live - at the Roxy Theatre. 4 days later the good old Cheech & Chong played the same venue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmt Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 As Donny Hathaway Live has been already mentioned. Double album. The live disk includes The Bottle, Winter in America (just as relevant today as in '76), Home Is Where the Hatred Is, Lady Day and John Coltrane, There Must Be Something. Went to see him three times. Great twice, didn't show the other time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
