Favorite live albums...besides the basics

Speaking of Maiden, maybe you guys can help me out. It seems with every live Maiden album, Nicko can't seem to keep things together during Two Minutes to Midnight. Whenever they reach the pre-chorus, the tempo seems to go out of whack. Is it just me?

It's just you

I really like Pretty Maids - It Comes Alive and Freedom Call - Live Invasion. Both very 'lively' to me, as in not Live In The Studio. Pink Floyd's 'Ummagumma', the live disc of that of course. W.A.S.P. - Double Live Assassins is killer, but I'm suspect there may be studio trickery so perhaps not that one.

You forgot Saxon's Eagle Has Landed. Don't get better than that -- or "If You Want Blood."

Horslips-Live At The O2

 Classic live album

Allman Brothers Band-At Fillmore East is pretty much my top favorite (flucuates) The other are UFO, Rush, Humble Pie, and Kiss.

Joe Cocker's-Madmen & Englishmen is also top shelf stuff.

Most of my other favorites have been mentioned by Chewie and Manny (....and Ult)

Other favorites of mine not mentioned so far (I think) is MSG-Rock Will Never Die and One Night At Budokan. Those early Fleetwood Mac live 'blues" albums are great too.

James, you have a pm sir.

I mentioned Fleetwood Mac's two Blues Jam In Chicago albums but they do have more good live stuff from that era. I've yet to hear any live stuff from the Welsh era.

Let me scope out an eternal hard drive and see what I got.

Nice! I dig the Welsh era and also some of 'Kiln House' but that album would have been better had Welsh been involved.

Savatage - Live Devastation
W.A.S.P. - Double Live Assassins

Lynyrd Skynyrd-One More From The Road

I had forgotten just how good Tokyo Tapes really is!

It really is. I've never been huge about the Scorps, but that album is just crazy.
