Why is Nirvana so high up on this list? Why?

FlyingCloudPassenger said:

I know...but this HOB list seems a bit more sensible than something Rolling Stone or mags of their ilk would put out.

Indeed rd. Lots o f pretty solid entries. Can you tell if they are all legit issues and not bootlegs?

they all look legit to me. maybe cross reference on CD Now or something...

PFunkjazz said:

They all are legit --I picked up that Bill Withers live one a few months ago at Amoeba..its beautiful.

twonabomber said:

u know it. i think even that UNPLUGGED NIRVANA is pretty tight.

I love the live recordings most... well next to being there yourself!

One wonders if Prince had a legit release out WHERE he'd be on there. I know he's got some really good tapes.

they forgot a few:

ANI DiFRANCO:LIVING IN CLIP
Howard Jones:Live Accoustic America
Garth Brooks:Double Live
Metallica:S&M

I wonder why Prince has never released a live album.

where is Earth,Wind&Fire's "Gratitude"??

i suspect it got disqualified because of the 4th side being studio tracks. I'm missing
PFunk All-Stars Live At the Beverly Theatre on here!

PFunkjazz said:

yep P-Funk Should be there easily because Nobody that has been in the Business as Long as P-Funk has as Loyal Base on tour except The Grateful Dead.and if the Dead are on there then P-Funk should as well IMHO.Peace
