Best Testament Live EP/LP?

So which Testament live EP/LP is the best?

My favorites are Eindhoven (EP or full), Apocalyptic and Dark Roots of Thrash.  For this poll I picked Dark Roots Of Thrash.

At least Testament does try to avoid a ton of overlap of songs on their live albums unlike many bands that churn out the same setlist over and over.

I've only heard Apocalyptic and Live in London so it's not an informed vote but Apocalyptic is excellent.

I only have Return To The Apocalyptic City so it gets my vote.

I'll go with Dark Roots of Thrash - great set list mixing the old and the new.

If I'm picking from live official releases, it's London. My favorite very well might be Dynamo Open Air Festival 2000, which is an unbelievable soundboard. Here's the the show on YouTube. A link for this show can be found on guitars101.

I like this live DVD:

Good question, I'll try to revisit these this week and report back.

Live At Eindhoven '87 (Full Concert)

As strange as it sounds, Testament is one of my favorite bands, yet I have never properly listened to any of their live albums. I did see them live once, however, and they were phenomenal. I urge anyone here who never saw them live to do so.

Same here, will come back to vote.

I am back - to vote - Dark Roots of Thrash.

Dark roots of thrash. Just because this is the only testament live album I own.

Live in London has the best setlist. Songs from the first five albums with an updated sound.

I voted for Return to the Apocalyptic City because it's actually live and it features one of my favorite guitarists, Glen Alvelais.

I was tempted to say Live at Eindhoven because it features tracks exclusively from their best album, their debut.

Can't stand DROT. Their recent album is terrible and it features a lame set list.

"Live at the Fillmore" is great but it's just a re-recorded Best Of rather than a real live album.

"Live at London" has a good setlist but is not my favorite.

Huh? I thought this was recorded at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Are you saying this is a fake live album?

Yes, absolutely.

Yes, absolutely.  

What leads you to believe this?

Because it is too pristine and perfect, unlike pretty much any live band I have ever seen and they are not Dream Theater.

And knowledge that pretty much most metal bands fake their live albums/DVDs.

Listen to the difference in RttAC and that one. There were a lot of little mistakes on there.
