IT'S FINALLY HERE....THE BEST LIVE ROCK ALBUM VOTE OF ALL-TIME!

Bon Jovi sucks donkey balls, and this comes from a fellow New Jersey citizen.

Queen's best set list live was probably Killers.  Big Queen fans such as myself would love to see more live material from the 70's.  Perhaps, since everyone likes to compare them to Zep, they should do as Zep on their DVD and take snippets through time. 

Anyone see Lep live last year? 

Grand Funk gets a shout out from me too...2 great live cds, but caught in the act has better sound.

Hendrix at woodstock or Monterey are great listens as well.

Hallo everybody

I can't choose just one live album as the best live rock album ever....so here's my top 10:

Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Kiss - Alive!
Queen - Live Killers
Deep Purple - Made In Japan
Aerosmith - Live Bootleg
Scorpions - World Wide Live
Judas Priest - Priest...Live!
UFO - Strangers In The Night
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same
Rainbow - On Stage

As you might've noticed the're all quite old. But the only thing I missed from the vinyls is those double live albums. Those pictures of the band on the stage....that amke you figure out how the show was. Now a live album is just a single CD and...........it just isn't the same....D'you what I mean???

Thank you for this wonderful web site

Keep on rockin'

Live at the bowl does it for me... Specially the first numbers.

Wembley doesnt. The DVD is fun, the 2 cd's are harder to swallow.

Do i dare say it? Rod Stewards 'absolutly live' is fun to listen to.[img=/images/smiley/msn/omg_smile.gif][/img]

Absolutely, I agree for the most part.  But a lot of the prog bands still maintain the quality live album, like Saga, Dream Theater, and Spock's Beard.

Another one to add to the list:

Humble Pie - Performance Rockin' the Fillmore

Sheer power.

Wembley was the first show I owned from queen, so  i'll always have a warm spot for that one. 
I thought it was the ultimate queen show,  but as I discovered their earlier concerts I realized wembley wasn't as good as I thought.  Montreal and Live at the bowl are much better,  and the 70's show that i have on bootleg are amazing. all these shows blow wembley out of the water.  Even saying that I still have a warm spot for that 86 show. the crowd was amazing.

If we're adding suggestions, I would go for Thunder's "Live" double CD from 1997.   As with all their live stuff, it is one of very few (if any) official live albums with absolutely no overdubs of any kind at all.  Great set encompassing their career to date at that point, beautifully played, fantastic crowd.  In addition I'd go for Dan Reed Newtork's "Live At Last" - not really a live performance taken from a show or two, but a compilation of live tracks from throughout their career from their recorded vaults, whether it be soundboard recordings, old pre-mixed stereo masters etc..

As an interesting side issue, are there any live bands that we think should have live albums but haven't?  I'm certainly amazed that Extreme never had a live album released back between 1990-1995 (thought hopefully we may get one from the latest tour), and even if you don't like them, I'm surprised that the record company didn't jump on the bandwagon and release a The Darkness live album/DVD to capitalize on their success at the time.
