I rarely listen to live albums...I prefer to watch the shows instead, if I own them physically or if they're available somewhere online. I think the only one that is a cornerstone to me, even ahead of the studio albums, is Jarre's HOUSTON/LYON, because it got me into Jarre and electronic music in general.
But anyway, limiting myself to one per artist, just because.
1. Jean Michel Jarre - Houston/Lyon
...and then, in no particular order:
The Alan Parsons Project - The Very Best: Live Bruce Springsteen - Live 1975-1985 Hans Zimmer - The Wings of a Film Oingo Boingo - Farewell Paul Oakenfold - Global Underground: Oslo Pink Floyd - PULSE Rammstein - Live in Berlin Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Centre of the Earth Roger Hodgson - Rites of Passage Steppenwolf - Live at 25 Supertramp - Paris
Maze live in New Orleans 10/10 Slade - Slade Alive 9/10 Dave Grusin And The GRP All-Stars – Live In Japan 9/10 Sadao Watanabe, live at the Budokan 10/10
Sadao's, Up Country (opening track - Dave Grusin conducting) -very cool
--The Who -- Live at Leeds --Bruce Springsteen - Live 1975-1985 --The Hollies - Live --Tim Buckley - Dream Letter - Live in London 1968 --Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Club (recorded 1963) --Judy Garland - Live at Carnegie Hall --The Bank - Rock of Ages --The Live Performances sprinkled throughout Bob Dylan's "Reynaldo and Clara" -- but never released that I know of (I have a copy of the film taped off of British TV that is woeful, but reminds me of seeing the film in NYC during a blizzard when it was originally released. It had the best sound in a theater that I've ever experienced, bar none. An amazing experience!) --Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense --Woodstock album
Yes, I am glad I got to see the real Pink Floyd and not just all the tribute bands, good as they are.
Yes, and unless you were among the lucky "few" that saw them at Live8 in 2005, it was the last chance too. I've seen Roger Waters later, but not Gilmour or Mason's shows.
