Most live albums are contract filler and not usually worth buying.
Having said that some of my favourites are: Kiss-Alive! (Yeah I know it has lots of overdubs but most live albums do!) Nirvana-MTV Unplugged Rolling Stones-Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Jam-Live Jam | |

Average White Band - Person to Person I have been meaning to pick this up for a few years now. I was floored ever since I heard that drum solo on Pick Up the Pieces. [This message was edited Mon Jun 28 11:13:21 2004 by psykosoul] | |
