Recommended Live Albums anyone?

I'm a bassist/drummer and at the moment looking for good live albums to listen to. I just recently got The Who's Live at Leeds, Deep Purples Made in Japan, and both Led Zeppelins How the West Was Won, and The Song Remains the Same albums. Anyone else have any recommendations?

If your into electronic music I would recommend Daft Punk's Alive 2007!

Live albums suck.  It's like I want to listen to songs I like, but crappier.

 An Evening of Questions & Answers... & A Little Music. It's a Billy Joel album. Very cool.

Goo Goo Dolls live in buffalo 2004. My favorite live album of all time.

I would say Live at Reading by Nirvana or, even better, MTV Unplugged in New York: Nirvana.

S&M by Metallica
'98 Live Meltdown by Judas Priest (This is when Ripper was the singer, and its interesting to hear his versions of a lot of Halford songs)

I would recommend HAARP: Live from Wembly if you're into Muse or other alternative bands.

I generally dislike live albums. However they're great for finding a song or two from your favorite band that isn't on any studio albums. 
 
The only ones that come to mind are some Mindless Self Indulgence (alienating our audience) and Pantera (live 101 proof). I would have said Arch Enemy's Burning Japan Live for the track list, but their recent studio album Root of all Evil is pretty much the same thing but better.
 
Metallica's Live Shit Binge and Purge box set was pretty cool back in the day.

Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been. 
 
Nothing much comes close to that album.

Either, Phish "A Live One", Phish "Hampton Comes Alive", Phish's recording of their Hershey Park Arena show this year (Available for download Here), or  "Europe '72" Grateful Dead those would be my top picks for live albums you must listen to. 

Heres a video from Phish "A Live One" for you to sample the musical stylings of Phish...its an audience recording so the mix is a little wierd, but it sounds pretty good.

Alice in Chains Unplugged
Talking Heads: The Name of This Band is the Talking Heads- It's kind of a live anthology. Really good if you're into them.
James Brown: Live at the Apollo '63- Classic
Deftones B-Sides and Rarities has some great live tracks.

Garbage Version 2.5.
 
It's a fanmade bootleg, but they don't have any official live albums.  It's recorded directly off the soundboard, so the quality is amazing.

Daft Punk Alive 2007 is great  

Live: Built to Spill is another one of my favorites. Favorite band plus a 20 minute Neil Young cover. Mm mm mm  

Baron Von Bullshit Rides Again is a decent live album by Modest Mouse. After the track "Paper Thin Walls" I think there's a really great audience conversation about why they will never play a cover of "Freebird"

Portishead live is pretty rad. 

 

Metallica's S&M is a fine album.

1. The Allman Brothers Band - Live at the Fillmore East
2. Neil Young - Live Rust
3. Cream - Live Cream vol. 1
4. The Doors - In Concert
5. George Harrison - Concert for Bangladesh

That's only because the music you listen to is played by people with no real talent. "

Eric Clapton and his six Grammy awards for his Unplugged album would disagree with you. "

S&M by Metallica is a great live album, and a great DVD too. Johnny Cash live at Folsom Prison is also great, and the only country album I really like.

iced earth - live in athens

I'm not a fan of live albums, but if there are live songs on the CD then I'm alright with them, I guess. As for albums that contain live tracks that I like, here they are:
 

• Take to the Skies - Enter Shikari
• Invaders Must Die [Special Edition] - The Prodigy

As far as I know these are the best acts to perform live:

• Ian Dury and the Blockheads
• Dire Straits
• R.E.M.
• Thin Lizzy
• Prince
• Fleetwood Mac (most of all, especially their Rumours tour)
  

Volkerball

Protest the Hero - Gallop Meets The Earth

Alchemy - Dire straits 
From here to Eternity - The clash 
H.A.R.P - Muse

Bad Religion - 30 Years Live (Free from their website)
Motorhead - No Sleep Til' Hammersmith (Best live album imo)
Rush - Exit...Stage Left

yes.   YES. "

Queen - Live At Wembely Stadium
  

Metallica S&M is amazing.

The only live album that actually sounds like being at the gig is 'Pantera live 101% Proof'. Don't know why, but I think it's the way the kick drums kinda pop through the wall of sound, like they do to your eardrums when you see a really loud band live.

oh and, listen to the original incubus songs then listen to the acoustic concert, thats a lesson in music everyone should hear, its the full 1 hour ocncert on youtube, incubus live at AT&T or something like that. they convert alternative rock into such acoustic awesomenes... (PS. im a bassist/drummer too)

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous.
Blink 182 - The Mark, Tom and Travis Show.
 
Those are my favourites.

Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin-é (Legacy)
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live at Monterey 
 
RHCP - Live at Slane Castle:

If you dig The Fiery Furnaces, their live album, Remember, is fantastic.  Rather than taping a show, it's a giant two disc medley mashup of live shows.  Also, they totally re-create their songs every two, so it feels like new material. 
 
It's out of print now, so find a download of Devo: The Mongoloid Years.  It's a collection of recordings from the 70's when they were at odds with just about everyone in the world.  The last section of the album is one of their first shows, where they performed at a radio station party and just belted pure noise.  Cleared out a room of old coked up rock and rollers and stoned hippies.  Those who stuck around were punished with Jocko Homo, which went on for so long you can hear people grabbing the mic from the band and threatening at them.  It ends with the plug being pulled. 
 
Elbow did a live version of their last album The Seldom Seen Kid, with the BBC Orchestra backing.  It's phenomenal. 
 
Hot Snakes' live radio show on Australian radio station JJJ, Thunder Down Under, is great.  Everything about Hot Snakes is great. 
 
Stop Making Sense, if it hasn't been said yet.

Trym is an amazing drummer. 
 
  

Dub trio 
 
Cool Out And Coexist  
 
 
 
 
 i cant surggest this enough  

Thank you all for your recommendations, I'll be sure to write most of these down for my next trip out to HMV.
