Grateful Dead - Europe '72 and One from the Vault
Portishead - Live at the Roseland
Pink Floyd - Pulse
The Who - Live at Leeds
AC/DC - If You Want Blood, You Got It
David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same
KISS - Alive (yes I'm serious)
Roger Wates - In the Flesh

And out of the box in many ways, Bizet's opera Carmen with Leontyne Price on lead.

That's a good one too but I think just a bit behind the other Floyd or Floyd member nominations.

Pink Floyd - Pulse
AC\DC - Live (my first actual journey in to the them)
Metallica - S&M (it's different, and I can appreciate that)
Nirvana - Unplugged (and I'm not a Nirvana fan, but this album is great)
Alice In Chains - Unplugged

My off the wall choice...
Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks.

AC\DC - Live (my first actual journey in to the them)

Mine too.

I knew of songs like Back in Black, Thunderstruck, Money Talks, etc..., but that record introduced me to songs from the Bon era like Whole Lotta Rosie, Dirty Deeds and TNT which in turn introduced me to their earlier albums. I'm a big AC/DC fan and it's because of AC/DC Live. That will probably always go down as my favorite live album even though there are probably better ones out there.

I'd have to agree, in that it opened me up to their other stuff. Though, I'll admit, I was in either 9th or 10th grade at the time, and I had no clue about Bonn Scott, until a few years after that. I just thought they were all Brian Johnson (or, what I knew at the time, the lead singer). I wasn't a big rock guy at the time, except for when guys would put it on the CD player in the weight room, during football.

I hate live albums. Concerts, yes. Live albums, no. Never really got the allure.

[Stork311]

The Band....The Last Waltz.

[Jimi_Thing]

Alice in Chains - Unplugged and Lou Reed - Live and Rock & Roll Animal are the albums that first came to mind.

[Stork311]

well played.

[weimy froob]

well played.

the last waltz has to be consensus top 3. i just heard "don't do it" as i'm working my way through my ipod's playlist alphabetically. in the D's.

[YBBR]

Live at The Old Quarter is amazing. In my top 3 for certain.

Curtis/Live! recorded in December 1970 at The End in New York. One of the best songwriters in popular music history at his zenith. Recorded the same year his solo debut came out. Released in 1971. It also has my favorite version of "People Get Ready." Which is a masterpiece.

Muddy Waters Live at the Newport Jazz Festival 1960. Another classic,

Those are live albums I come back to time and time again.

[Stork311]

I loved the Kiss Alive II album as a kid....Wore out the vinyl over "Shock Me" on side two and the whole side 3 was fantasitc. My taste has changed, but for that time in my life, it was the bomb.

Live Rust is fantastic.

they had to airbrush the cocaine out of neil's nose in "the last waltz". i don't remember how much it cost-but it was a mini fortune.

I couldn't help it.

Putting a capital on "Live" in the OP should only be taken one way.

[Herky]

Kiss- Unplugged. Loved seeing them get back together and remember watching it on MTV. Beth is WAY better on this album than any other version.

UFO- Strangers In The Night

Thin Lizzy- Live And Dangerous

[Stork311]

is Live at Budokan just to easy....?
not saying it is best, but it sure does deserve a sniff doesn't it?
