Bands that Never Had A Live Album...

So, while thinking about my top 5 favorite live albums for Wrecked Necks thread, I thought about the fact that Ratt never have put out a proper live album. I know there is a version out there of "Infestation" with the Ep from '83 played live in its entirety; but that's not the same. I have a couple of boots to slake my thirst, but I really wish they had done something circa 1988-89 or so So, what other bands that had pretty lengthy careers and sold well but never released a live disc? At the moment I am blanking.

It would be hilarious if Ratt's only live album ended up being a recording from that show which went viral earlier this year.

You know that would never get out to the public. But it is a funny thought.

While not as awful as the Ratt performances of late, the Van Halen "Tokyo Dome" release a couple years back comes to mind. I have a boot from a few nights before that show and the performance is a bit better, but still not as good as what could have been if they had done something in the early to mid 1980's.

Angel Dust never did one.

Forbidden should've had one IMHO

I'd go for a Nelson live album.

Saw them on their debut album tour and they were amazing as would be expected. House of Lords was the opener...

Thin Lizzy (the Black Rose lineup)
Weird Al Yankovic
Def Leppard (Pete Willis era before Pyromania)

Weird Al, definitely!

Saw him during the Self-Indulgent tour and it was great. All the shows are on the Stitcher app. Wish I could get it and convert it for my iTunes.

The only reason I know about it is cuz they announced it at the show. I was gonna check if I could use a converter.

True

True As far as Lep goes, I have a few boots from the early '80's to get me by.

I’m gonna have to look for some Lep bootlegs from that time period. Weird Al has a tour next year with an orchestra so I’m hoping he does some kind of blu ray/cd combo.

Veni Domine

Weird Al did release a live dvd around the early 2000s.

Edge of Sanity
Bolt Thrower
Grim Reaper

Amorphis. Skid Row.

Good call on Grim Reaper. I wish they had released one. I know Steve is not in the best of health these days, but there is still time.

Yeah, Skid Row is a surprising one given how popular they were at one point. I am surprised they didn't release one as a sort of contractual obligation when Grunge was happening in the mid 90's. Ha.

I have Sub Human Beings on Tour. More of an ep, but still official.

With only four actual Skid Row tracks on it, and not even being released in US or Europe... yeah, I just don't count that one.

I really don't either. Just thought I would bring it up.

It is quite interesting that they haven't gone for the cash grab on this...

Oh Say Can You Scream on VHS would make a nice live album and its already in the can.
