Spec Me Some Live Albums (Rock Music)

Kosmiche · 13 May 2014 at 22:52

...After enjoying the live albums I have from Camel, a progressive rock band who are one of my favourites, I would like to expand my library of live albums.

I mainly listen to prog rock but I would like to hear some reccomendations from all types of rock and metal.

Thanks :cool:

Can't beat Maiden for great live albums. This one is a collection of live performances from '86 to '92 (A real live one) on the first disc and '80 to '84 (A real dead one) on the second disc.

Metallica - Live **** (poop) Binge & Purge - From the Black album tour, amazing Mexico gig.

Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound Of Thunder - the best I've ever heard Pink Floyd with Comfortably Numb sounding epic.

Porcupine Tree have some incredible live albums. Warszawa in particular.

Iced Earth - Alive in Athens. Cracking album

Pantera - Live: 101 Proof. Another storming album

Obviously all Iron Maiden stuff.

Metallica - S&M (the copy I have sounds dreadful (loudness wars?) but still a cool sound!)

AC/DC - Donninton 91 (or is it 92?). Exceptional!

Dropkick Murphys - Live on St.Patricks Day 2002. Mental all the way!

Green Day - Bullet in a Bible (Milton Keynes 2 night stand!)

Motörhead - 25 and Alive.

Queen - Wembley '86

Rammstein - Volkerball

KISS - Alive!

UFO - Strangers in the Night
Rush - Exit Stage Left

THMRK · 14 May 2014 at 16:57

Against Me! - Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live in London!!! is pretty excellent.

I quite like Anthology by Thrice too and Maiden are always great value for money.

In addition to the other suggestions:

Guns N' Roses - Live Era
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

Ephemera · 14 May 2014 at 20:45

Devin Townsend - The Retinal Circus. The DVD version is probably a better way to enjoy it.
Between the Buried and Me - Colours Live. Unsure how much this counts as it's just a live like for like version of the Colours album.
Also as THMRK says Thrice - Anthology is pretty good.
Protest the Hero also did a decent live effort called Gallop Meets The Earth.
Oh and Gojira - The Flesh Alive. Top, top performance.
