PEARL JAM LIVE AT THE GORGE

Yea, but a lot of these official “live” albums were tweaked in the studio, including Kiss Alive.

So are you saying “live in the studio” albums count as live albums?

GUNS N’ ROSES – LIVE ERA ‘87-’93
BON JOVI – ONE WILD NIGHT ‘85-’01

My Morning Jacket – Okonokos

although i love KISS Alive, only about 20 percent of it is live – the drums. The guitars, vocals ,etc and additional crowd were overdubbed.

Nirvana – Unplugged in NY
Rage Against the Machine – Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium
Queensryche – Operation: LIVEcrime

Led Zeppelin “How The West Was Won.”
Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense.”

I hate to be a bubble buster, but “Kiss Alive” is not actually a live album (this is well documented). After listening to hours of live recordings, the band and the producer decided to insert crowd noise and stage banter over studio recordings. Why, you ask? Because their musical abilities were that of a small town bar band.

Aerosmith’s “Live Bootleg” from 1978: It was poorly-received originally, with people wondering why the band was choosing scrappy performances over more-polished ones … but it was ahead of its time, it captures the youthful edge that the post- reunion band simply can’t recapture. Belongs on your list if only for the performances of “Toys in the Attic” and “Last Child”.

“Stop making sense” is the best live album ever, and it’s soooo good that it seems to be made on studio.

NIRVANA UNPLUGGED

Oh my god – Over 170 comments and not one has mentioned Ted Nugent’s “Double Live Gonzo”, the greatest rock and roll live LP of all time?

What is WRONG with you people?

The Song Remains the Same is not the disaster that many people believe that it is. Actually, overall, it’s pretty damned good! Zep wanted to do an All MSG movie, which didn’t allow them to get better versions of some songs from their set list. (The only real rough spot in the whole show was the “Whole Lotta Love” medley. That was kind of a mess!)

I think most people come to the negative conclusion based on second hand information rather than having sat down down and actually watched it!

kiss alive, give me a fucking break, they have not and will not ever record a song that is worth a shit……”

I’ll bet you two brainsurgeons never listened to their live work. And anyone who like these shitty punk bands who recorded entire albums in under an hour in someone’s basement probably can’t perceive much else of anything that doesn’t sound like a “fart” in the first place. All these pasty faced social misfits worship underground bands simply so they can walk around like they’re superior because they know names of bands that their classmates don’t know. Quite often these bands are underground and unknown simply because they suck!

re:Jeff | 11/21/2007, 5:57 pm EST

“although i love KISS Alive, only about 20 percent of it is live – the drums. The guitars, vocals ,etc and additional crowd were overdubbed.”

Wherever you got that information from, it’s false. It’s KISS live. It’s a great live record because KISS is a great live band!

bzzz. WRONG! Some of the crowd noise was enhanced but that’s it!

It must really pain you to know that a band that you detest can do something better than almost any other band!

Small town? Yeah, Manhattan’s a real small town! You can’t get a following in the world’s greatest city if you can’t play.

. . . and I’d love to see all these “well-documented” documents.

Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out- The Rolling Stones

Live/Dead- The Grateful Dead

Live at Leeds- The Who

How the West Was Won- Led Zeppelin

Stop Making Sense- The Talking Heads

Band of Gypsies- Jimi Hendrix

Yeah, I agree with Scott. Where the hell is all this love for that nine inch nails album coming from? It’s probably some ‘tard changing his name and reposting. Hell, probably Reznor himself.

Long live Zep and the Who!

Alive 1 and 2 completely rock and contain no musical filler, addititives or musical byproducts!

Completely organic despite what the Adkins junk food alt music freak will tell ya!

PS I decided to have a look around for the sake of the musical conspiracy theorists. The few pages I found, such as “Wiki” provide no quotes from Kramer, or any member of the band. The writers make allusions to particular people without providing a single quotation or siting any other source making these claims about the Alive records being bogus!

And who writes Wiki pages? You and me. Anybody can create a wiki page! If interested, the best thing you can do is You Tube KISS concert footage from 1975 and up. Judge for yourself. And if you listen to the Alive albums and you happen to know a little bit about how records are made, trust your ears. Live records have a certain resonanace to them. Dokken’s Beast From the East is a product of studio tricks, and you can hear it. Good live records sound like good live records, end of story!

Well according to the pollster(s)
these are the greatest live albums:
“nirvana on mtv unplugged
PEARL JAM LIVE AT THE GORGE
Nine Inch Nails – And All That Could Have Been.”

aaaa huh.

Well, I think Made In Japan by Deep Purple blows the doors off these albums and all the rest of the choices as well!

Made In Japan – Deep Purple

Nirvana – Unplugged

Talking Heads – Stop Making Sense

Bowie – Stage

Under Byen – Live at Halden Pop (for the obscurity of it, and because it IS that good)

(And honourable mention to “R.E.M. Live (2007)” it really IS quite good)

And Nine Inch Nails? Naah… Me thinks a fanboy tries to obscure the list a little by entering “And All That Could Have Been” multible times with a very high level of consistency in writing style.

Anywho.

re: Actias Luna | 11/23/2007, 10:02 pm EST

“1. And All That Could Have Been by Nine Inch Nails

2. Frampton Comes Alive by the late great Sir Peter Frampton”

What kind of psychotic . . . Peter Frampton is neither knighted nor dead! And hey, easy with the NIN stuff!

. . . And “Since of I’ve Been Loving You” and “Moby Dick” alone make “The Song Remains The Same” a classic!

Choosing a live album as a favorite is so subjective. But it’s even more incredible when you actually attended and experienced “the concert” which was made into a live album.

PEARL JAM LIVE AT THE GORGE.

Yes, there were about 12 people in the audience, but it was live! Let It Be.

Didn’t Pearl Jam put out like 85 live albums one year? That’s confusing. I’ll bet they charge top dollar for a concert seat just like everyone else these days!

Well the best live album of the world is of course the bootleg of Van Halen’s performance from 1983 at the US Festival 83.

What about Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense? Let’s not forget Little Feat’s Waiting For Columbus either.

Metal Shawn G

Little Feat? I remember the name from when I really young! I had an Alice Cooper record on the Warner label. Back then WB didn’t have that boring white label with just the WB sign stampted on top. They had a very psychedelic picture of a road with all these pretty trees with the inscription on the top that read, “Burbank, The Home of Warner Bros. Records”

And the inner sleeve had this offer of a variety album with all these different aftists on it. All you had to do was mail $2 to Warner with the cut out order form on the sleeve and they’d send you the record! Why I never did it is completely beyond me!!!

Anyway, some of the artists included Seals and Crofts, The Doobies, Cheech and Chong (if my memory serves me correctly) Rod Stewart and a whole lot of other great artists!

One of the artists was Little Feat. I have no idea what genre of rock they are, but I think I’m gonna check it out! If there are any slightly older rockers who remember the “Burbank” label and/or the record offer, I would love to hear your memories.

Well anyway, thanks for planting the Little Feat thing in my head. I might just roll the dice, buy the disc and check ‘em out! Peace Out

As far as the NIN album goes, I only voted once. It’s not surprising that there are so many votes. It is a truly great album of one of the best live bands to ever grace the stage.

Nine Inch Nails – And All That Could Have been [ Genuinely, a fantastic experience]

White Stripes – Under Blackpool Lights [Technically a DVD but JW's playing is shit hot]

Nirvana- Unplugged
Radiohead- I Might Be Wrong
My Morning Jacket- Okonokos
Wilco- Kicking Television

wilco – kicking television

1) Time Fades Away- Neil Young
2) Full House- J.Geils Band
3) 4-Way Street- Crosby, Skills, Hash & Jung
4) Cheech & Chong were on A&M
5)REO T.W.O.- which I recently found out was recorded live but released as a studio album, so I re-bought the CD and listened with new ears and now it seems so obvious…yet somehow it still kicks more ass than anything else they ever accomplished and I am hard-pressed to believe it wasn’t a fluke.
6) Mountain did a live LP with a side-long version of Nantucket Sleighride which seems appropo for the coming season.
7) U2 suck.

In no particular order:
The Kinks–One for the Road
U2–Rattle and Hum
Talking Heads–Stop Making Sense
Rush–Exit Stage Left
The Who–Live at Leeds

I like…

My Morning Jacket’s Okonokos
Phish’s Hampton Comes Alive
DMB’s Listener Supported
Nirvana’s Unplugged

and maybe I should give it a little time but Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 is solid and since I have gotten it, I have said it’s one of the best live cd’s ever. In fact I’m listening to it right now.

“Didn’t Pearl Jam put out like 85 live albums one year? That’s confusing. I’ll bet they charge top dollar for a concert seat just like everyone else these days!”

Where have you been? I can go to 3 Pearl Jam concerts (each with a 25-30 song setlist), 3 U2 concerts, or 3 Foo Fighters concerts for the face value price of ONE VAN HALEN CONCERT TICKET. The VH tickets are so overpriced, those who can’t go to the concert are now selling them at craigslist for “under face value” prices.

Nirvana Unplugged
Pearl Jam Live at The Gorge
U2 Under A Blood Red Sky

Hendrix Band of Gypsies

I choose my words very carefully when I say:

FUCK.
KISS.

What a terrible, terrible band.

Concert for Bangladesh
Stones – Get Yer Ya Yas Out!
The Band – Last Waltz
Allmans – Live at the Fillmore East
Neil Young – Live Rust
Marianne Faithfull – 20th Century Blues

tony bennett-unplugged

Live at Leeds- The Who

Kudos to RS for picking “The Name of the Band is Talking Heads” over the better-known “Stop Making Sense.” Both are good, but the first one just rocks harder.

As many people have pointed out, “Waiting for Columbus” by Little Feat is probably the most glaring omission from the RS list, closely followed by Neil Young’s “Live Rust.”

Finally, here are two I don’t think have been mentioned so far:
“From Here to Eternity Live” — the Clash
“Hard Rain” — Bob Dylan (who wins the award for having the most different albums mentioned in this discussion)

And All That Could Have Been by Nine Inch Nails!
And no, we’re all different people coming from the same place…

Deep Purple-Made In Japan
Iron Maiden-Live After Death
Black Sabbath-Live at Radio City
Genesis-Seconds Out
Brian Wilson-Pet Sounds Live
Bob Dylan and The Band-Before the Flood
Yes-Yesshows
Johnny Cash- Live from Folsom Prison

Ween – Live in Chicago
Neil Young – Weld
Wilco – Kicking Television
Kiss – Alive (Say what you want but this is everything a live album should be. A true Classic)

This is Easy:
5) Led Zeppelin: How the West Was Won
4) Jimi Hendrix: Band of Gypsys
3) Allman Bros.: Live at the Fillmore East
2) The Who: Live at Leeds (original vinyl version
1) The Who: Live at Leeds (complete CD version including performance of Tommy)

I kept it to rock, because there are countless live recordings of artists like John Coltrane and Miles Davis and it boggles the mind to even try and pick the best.

And I excluded “Kiss: Alive” because of all the over-dubbing they did, which pretty much renders it not live.

Definitely NIN “All That Could Have Been” and Foo Fighters “Skin and Bones”; however, we forgot the live double album that everyone burned out in high school and college: Depeche Mode, “101″

“I choose my words very carefully when I say:

Apparent ly you have very few words to choose from!

“And All That Could Have Been by Nine Inch Nails!
And no, we’re all different people coming from the same place…”

All different people? Mmmm . . . and HOW could YOU possibly know that?
The final voter tallies don’t reflect your sentiment, apparently

“All different people? Mmmm . . . and HOW could YOU possibly know that? The final voter tallies don’t reflect your sentiment, apparently”

Jealousy sure looks hideously ugly on a girl. Picking on Caitlin now, are you?

NIN – And All That Could Have Been

I read all of the comments and was surprised that there was no mention of Pink Floyd’s “Is there anybody out there”. It’s an outstanding live concert from the original wall tour, released in 2000. The recording quality is excellent and I never get tired of listening to it.

nin-and all that could have been

Rush in Rio

Who else plays 3 hour concerts EVERY NIGHT

Most def ‘all that could’ve been’.
NIN rules!!!
Depeche Mode 101 comes in a very close 2nd. These 2 albums will rock on forever!!!!!

UFO: Strangers In The Night
Led Zeppelin: How The West Was Won
Michael Schenker: The Michael Schenker Story Live

KISS ALIVE! was only overdubbed where needed, have you not seen the classic albums show on vh1 where they discussed it? i have seen KISS live 19 times and trust me they are a great live band! how about KISS unplugged? that one is pretty good also!

I only saw a couple of folks with it listed…HANDS DOWN, BEST LIVE RECORD EVER:

UFO, STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

Led Zeppelin sucks!

Agnostic Front Live at CBGB’s kicks ass.

Victims Family 14 Great Thrash Songs is great.

Little Feat’s “Waiting for Columbus”

Kick Out The Jams-MC5

i agree with kiss they should be on top but don;t forget frampton comes alive!

Cheap Thrills-Big Brother and the Holding Company

Cheap Thrills-Big Brother and the Holding Company

Deep Purple-Made in Japan
Is the greatest live album ever!

bob segar live bullet is one of the best
