Pick a band's best live album

i listened to Nirvana live at the paramount yesterday and it was amazing, probably the best live nirvana set I’ve heard. Kurt’s voice sounds amazing. Shame the accompanying video is out of sync

pls nominate a band and tell us their best live recording. Must be a legit release and not a bootleg, and no boring stories about the time you saw a band and how that was really their best performance tbh!!!111

obligatory joke response:
Live - Throwing Copper

Also failed to appreciate until my adult years what a beast D. Grohl is on the drums

think this is my fav Dylan live album:

the electric ones are great too but there’s a certain magic to him on his own with an acoustic guitar rattling through song after song.

I am really not into live albums, not even of musicians that I like. If I am actually at the concert, I don’t mind hearing the noise from the crowd, the ad libs from the performers, etc.; it’s all part of the experience. For listening at home, though, give me the quality controlled studio product any day.

thanks for the info

Live Seeds.

The Mercy Seat performed live on that album is Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds best work.

Babylon Zoo - Live in Space, man.

When I am in the mood for the Stones or the Dead official live releases, I am never disappointed by either of these albums.

Of course, I have lots of boots by both bands.
