The best live albums?

[agentorange]

R.E.M. - Live At The Olympia

I was thinking it's probably premature to include this one among the greats, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and the setlist is outstanding.

Two thumbs up for Mirrorball.

I remember buying that because I was just getting into her music and wasn't sure where to start, and at that point in her career she hadn't releaseed a greatest hits album yet. I'm not nearly as huge a fan of hers as I used to be, but that's a pretty great live record.

A tie for me:

Led Zep: How the West Was Won; Hands down, best ever. Finally we got Zep in their prime on CD, something Song Remains the Same failed to do.

Under a Blood Red Sky - This album got me into U2. With the exception of New Year's Day, the live versions were far superior to the studio versions. Raw, energetic, and passionate

Honourable Mention: Bad Company Live in Alberquerque '76; the ultimate 70s rock experience I was too young to experience.

Next Live Album I must buy: Neil Young, Live Rust

I have an INXS bootleg on vinyl from 1984 The Swing Tour. I bought it from a guy in Newtown.

Is that Newtown, Sydney? I lived there for a couple of months during my gap year....love that place.
