How Many Live Albums Do You Own?

And one more thing about live albums. If you're gonna release one, make it an uninterrupted concert. I also have the Pink Cream 69 live album and that thing fades in and out between tracks. WTF??? If I buy a live album, one of the things I want to hear is the stage banter between the artist and the audience!

Damn right.

I have a sh*tload of Faces live stuff and one of the most enjoyable things about the live material is the stage banter. They were a bunch of cheeky bastards, some of the stuff is hilarious.

So all that stuff inbetween gives a good indication to someone like me who hasn't seem them to what they were like live. Which is basically the premise and point of what a live album should be.

I also have a countless amount of Helloween bootlegs but I wasnt going through all of those. I didnt think I really had this many live albums. I wasnt going to write this whole list but when I was going through it I figured what the hell let me see what I actually have. I might have missed some though. Im off to bed now haha.

3

Iron Maiden - Live After Death

Mortification - Live Planetarium

Rez - XX

Are we including bootlegs? If so, I could not even offer a guess. I know I have 67 King's X live shows alone.

I'll only buy live albums if I'm really fond of a band, therefore I only own about 12

I only have Blue Oyster Cult-A long day's night

metallica - s and m, live at wembley stadium and a load of bootlegs to many to name
dream theater - live at the marquee
black sabbath - live at last and live evil
iron maiden - live after death, live at donington, death on the road, a real live dead one
opeth - the roundhouse tapes
deep purple - made in japan
pantera - official live 101 proof

thats all i can think off at the moment

I own 141.

I counted bonus live discs (only full concerts or album's worth...essentially a live album) and bootlegs (of which I own only about 8. Nevertheless, about 90% of them are actual albums.

I only own 3 live albums as they aren't really my thing. I find it hard to dish out the cash for live stuff when there is better quality studio work sitting right behind it on the shelf. The few that I own are: Black Sabbath - Live Evil, Metallica - S&M, and Exodus - Good Friendly Violent Fun. They're all good listens but I hardly ever throw em on because they just don't have that album feel and context that I like. Live Evil is cool though because it's the only place I can hear Dio sing some Ozzy era classics. Ditto with Metallica for being the only place I can hear "-Human" and "No Leaf Clover".
