ahhh yes mesepher, the trading of live music has helped me alot too. I've acquired around 70 or so Pearl Jam bootlegs in the past 2 years and my collection just keeps on growing

I've never been into live albums. They so rarely capture the experience of what it's like to be there in person. That said, Radiohead's I Might Be Wrong EP is okay, as long as you exclude the songs from Amnesiac.

My main problem with the I Might Be Wrong EP is that there are tons of live versions of "True Love Waits" and they picked the worst one. The best song is "The National Anthem," which always sounds good live, and it all sort of goes downhill from there.

Being that I hardly ever DL music, the only version of "True Love Waits" I've heard is the EP one, and I like it quite a bit.

I downloaded tons of Radiohead stuff for awhile there and also got a bunch of bootleg CDs from a British guy my dad worked with. The first live version of "True Love Waits," which dates from around '95 or '96, is more or less identical to the one on the EP but with a nice keyboard loop in the second verse. Thom's voice is a little less grating, too. The live version of "Motion Picture Soundtrack," taken from a radio station broadcast, is really spectacular, too. Probably better than the one on Kid A. I could go on.

The Who, Live At Leeds. The best, bar none.

 

Another favorite that doesn't get much notice: Portishead's live disc, PNYC. One might think of them as a pure studio band, but man, throw in a full orchestra...wowie. Wonderful stuff, featuring the best songs off of both their full-length albums in Roseland Ballroom glory.

S&M- Metallica

Austin City Limits- Stevie Ray Vaughn

Live At Budokan- Cheap Trick

Live From The Fall- Blues Traveler

Little South Of Sanity- Aerosmith

Tribute- Ozzy Osbourne

Rock Spectacle- Barenaked Ladies

Here's some single songs that I have:

Whatever, Thief, Superman's Dead, Dear Prudence, Imagine- Our Lady Peace

Shimmer- Fuel

Balls To The Walls- Fozzy

How You Remind Me- Nickelback

Beautiful Loser- Bob Seger

Alice in Chains - Unplugged

NIRVANA - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

Guest evenflowDDT
Posted

Duran Duran - Fiesta (b00tleg!)

Green Day - Live in Buenos Aires 1998 (b00tleg!)

Nirvana - MTV Unplugged

Metallica - S&M

 

Those are the only ones I've got... well, I've got a ton of b00tlegs!, but not a lot that I'd recommend except to fans of the band.

I second DrainYou42's nomination of Alice in Chains, Unplugged. That entire CD is great, as is Nirvana's MTV one.

 

No love for Pantera's 101 proof? I thought redbaron, being a Pantera Mark, such as myself, would have nominated that one.

 

I agree with Incandenza, though. Most live CD's don't capture the mood. The audio is usually pretty bad, etc.

 

My top 5: (No particular order)

-Alice in Chains: Unplugged

-Nirvana: Unplugged in NY

-Pantera: Live 101 proof

-Eagles: Hell Freezes Over

-Metallica: S&M

The Who: Live at Leeds is awesome. Also,

Rush: Exit, Stage Left. That has an incredible version of YYZ.

and of course, my favorite live album ever, SLAYER-Decade of Aggression.

Pantera's 101 proof is the only album that really has that feel of being there live.

 

the only other one i even remotely like is Live After Death

Kiss Alive! is the best live album ever.

I have to agree. Other than that, Morrissey's 'beethoven was deaf' is absolutely fantastic as are 'suck on this' by primus and 'live and dangerous' by thin lizzy.

Suck on this was cool. I liked the live tracks on Rhinoplasty more, personally.

 

Tool's live stuff is fucking awesome as hell. I heard an import of theirs called simply, "Tool Box" that had them playing Daytripper live. Godly.

They were all great yeah. But then they're one of my favourite acts of all time, and i don't think they've ever done a song i didn't like. I need some live tool, i'm pretty sure i don't own any tracks.
