this thread is about recommendations (sp?) for live cd's

i have the Guns N' Roses Live Era.
it is well worth getting if you are a fan of GN'R IMO. it is 2 cd's of pure genius

i also have The Smashing Pumpkins Breakout cd which is also a great cd. Cheap Trick feature on this one

any other recommendations (sp?)

I'd recommend Metallica - S & M and the Eagles - Hell Freezes Over. Both excellent IMHO.

Dave.

A Question to as ya's if I could: (as you's were on the topic of CD's)

Bands release singles called EP's now I know an EP is a sample of what's to come from their next album I would like to ask as I have been quibbing over it for a while.
What does E.P. stand for?

Mike

Extended Play???

Is that correct or are ya guessing?

Mike

I think it's correct. That good enough???

The Eagles Hell Freezes Over
Pearl Jam Live in Holland
Def Leppard Live Around The World
Bon Jovi One Wild Night Live
Alanis Morisette MTV Unplugged
Madonna The Drowned Tour 2001
Motley Crue Live Entertainment Or Death
Sade Lovers Live
The Beatles Live At The BBC
Uriah Heep Live In Moscow

As You can tell I mostly like Heavy Rock or Rock Music, but anything that I think is good I will go out and buy it.

Sorry for raking up an old thread, but I noticed the topic and had to add my 2p

Just arrived today from the states:
Metallica, Live Sh*t: Binge and Purge (official site)
3 CDs (one concert) and 2 DVDs (2 Concerts).

One on the DVD concerts is before the Black Album, one after. Total concerts running time: 540mins + the CDs

I would also highly recommend the S&M CDs and DVDs as well as the Cunning Stunts DVDs.

10,000 Maniacs Unplugged
(if you don't know them - go listen to the *In My Tribe* album - I don't know ANYBODY who doesn't love this album)

Maybe one day U2 will release a live album! (EDIT : ok - another live album....)

Iain

hehe. In the U2 community right now were trying to get the band to release the entire Slane 2 show on DVD, since video/dvd releases are what the band uses to document their tours..

as regards to my favorite official live albums, micksea241 hit the nail right on the head as far as im concerned, and id like to highlight Queen's Live Killers and the Eagles Hell Freezes Over (especially, especially, on DVD.. amazing) above all... And Neken, Ive got Live S**t, a great example of Metallica giving the fans what they want..

Ive heard that The Who, Live At Leeds is awesome..

Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah is a pretty good document of a great live band, incredibly raw and energetic. Also of course Nirvana - Unplugged is just beautiful, simple as that. Also Hendrix Live at Woodstock or Hendrix: Band of Gypsy's live at the Fillmore East are both mind numbing, and Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same is equally breathtaking. Finally, I find Pearl Jam live CDs a joy to listen to, and of course they have a seemingly endless supply of live CDs what with their official 'bootleg' releases of every concert from their 2000 tour!!

Bit of a Paul Weller freak so would have to reccomend anything by him.

Lokk for ones recorded in the Royal Albert Hall. Always have the best sound.

'It's alive' by the ramones is the best live album ever.

Metallica S&M is the best live cd around, no doubt about it.

from my collection, some notable live cd's...

The Smiths - Rank

Pele - A Live a Live o

Gene - Rising for Sunset

The new Bob Dylan - Live 1975 is a beaut

Lindisfarne Live superb

Also The Byrds Live at the Fillmore

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - Live 1975 - 1985

just to mention one or two others!

I would have to say...

Pearl Jam, live at Wembley Arena, 30/05/00... If you listen VERY carefully you can hear me shouting in the audience!
Alice In Chains - MTV Unplugged
Counting Crows - Across The Wire - Live In New York
Metallica S&M is amazing!
The Bridge School Concerts is also pretty good, with Live takes from Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Simon & Garfunkel, Tracy Chapman, The Prentenders and more...
