GREAT Recent Live Albums?

Maiden's ROCK IN RIO is worth having just to hear Bruce totally owning "The Clansman" from VIRTUAL XI. What a difference a change in vocalists makes!! His version turned that song from a fair-to-middling Maiden track to an all time classic in my book.

"FREEEEEDOOOOOOOMMMMM!"

Totally agree

I thought Kreator's "Live Kreation" album was GREAT!



Arttie

Motörhead - Better Motörhead Than Dead - Live at Hammersmith

is great. I know that many people could argue that there are a lot of Motörhead Live albums out. But I'm a Motörhead fan and it is a must have for me. I saw them on that tour in Cologne and the setlist is as far as I remember identical except Bomber which was missing at Cologne. This makes it for me more valuable.

W.A.S.P. - DOUBLE LIVE ASSASSINS

:metal:

I Gotta agree with Double Live Assassins. Much better than the studi, I mean live album Live...In The Raw. But more polished than The Sting. Great choice.

Ohhhh, i dont agree this time. I think LIVE....IN THE RAW is realy realy good. Never got into DOUBLE LIVE ASSASSINS.

Totally agree

In Complete Agreement about that. I played those cd's so much.... I love the live version of 'the Sign of the Cross'. a vast improvement over the studio version which sounds pedestrian in comparison. Hearing the audience chant freedom gave me goosebumps...

Rush - r30... yes it is a DVD but if you purchased the 'limited edition' it came with the complete show on two CD's.... simply brilliant... the fidelity was superior to 'rush in rio' in my opinion.

Judas Priest - 98 live.... Ripper shreds...... ! (well 8-9 years is sorta recent.....!)

I agree. Great album. Ripper tears it up. Just listen to "Diamonds and Rust".

WASP's "Live...in the Raw" has always been one of my favorites from the 1980's and Maiden's "Rock in Rio" from a few years ago is great. Also, from recent years, Hammerfall's "One Crimson Night" is terrific.

Kamelot's One Cold Winter's Night was well done and to a lesser extent so was Sonata Arctica's For The Sake of Revenge. Just purchased Heaven and Hell at Radio City Music Hall along with Megadeth-That One Night and am anxious to hear how well they were done.

I like that one too. I purchased it some weeks ago.

Ult,

Do my ears deceive me when I listen to 'Rapid Fire' on this disc..... Did they add a chorus with 'Rapid Fire'..... because there isn't one on British Steel.... Play 'em back to back.... am I out to lunch?

That version of 'Diamonds' smokes !!
