Favorite live albums Now that two of my favorite musicians are coming with live CDs in the next couple of months (Prince and Ben Folds), I was wondering what live albums you guys think are great. I'm generally not a huge fan of live albums, they sound mostly disappointing to me. Now, live DVDs are another thing, I love those. If anyone can make an exciting live album, it's Prince.
Live albums I have gotten from other musicians I really like have been disappointing- ex. Elton John, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan (actually this one was pretty decent). The only live album that I really love is Sting's "All this Time". And a big reason for that is because the songs were performed in a more smooth-jazz arrangement with a different band- very cool. Anyway, anybody have any favorites? | |

The Black Crowes have a live set coming out soon, and they're one of my favorite live acts, so it'll probably be good.
Peter Gabriel "secret world live" is great. | |

Been recently enjoying Peter Gabriel's Secret World. Listen to Manu Katche and Tony Levin on 'Red Rain' for an ear-popping sonic assault...  | |

Joy Division- Still, Preston, and Les Bains Douches- all riveting.
New Order- BBC Live David Bowie- The 3rd disc included with his Bowie @ the Beeb set. Every performance is a keeper. The Cure- Show, Paris, and Sideshow. They've got a million live goodies. | |

Yup its out and its pretty darn good problem is there are no songs from By Your Side which is criminal. Also a real downer is that it was recorded over two nights, although you cant tell knowing this just makes the whole experience redundant. Peter Gabriel "secret world live" is great. | |

Little Feat's "Waiting 4 Colombus", Donnie Hathaway's "Live!" & James Brown's "Live At The Apollo Vol.1 ('62).
Hopefully "One Night Alone Live" will match up 2 this standard but it's a big ask! | |
