Has anyone got a favourite live album ?

Mine is Simple Minds. Live in the city of light.

Bruce Springsteen - Live in NYC

Oasis - Familiar to Millions

The double album made for the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame’s 25th Anniversary is also excellent, with some great duets and combos — e.g. Bruce Springsteen and John Fogerty, Stevie Wonder and Jeff Beck, Lou Reed and Metallica, U2 and Mick Jagger, etc…

A very good live album makes it impossible for me to go back to the studio version of some songs.

For me it has to be 'Decade Of Aggression' by Slayer (1991) - I was totally blown away by this album when I first listened to it back in the day and I immediately went out and bought it on CD . The tracklist on this album has a lot of their all time classics from their previous albums prior to this one. Absolutely awesome live album





Another that comes to mind is 'Live Evil' by Black Sabbath (1982) - with the late great Ronnie James Dio on vocals. There's a lot of good tracks on this album and hearing them live is so much better imo - 'Neon Knights', 'Heaven and Hell' are a few just to name but the one that I always liked was 'Children Of The Sea', where it has a slow interlude with Ronnie's Vocals and the soft guitar tone from Tony Iommi and then it bursts into life with a great heavy guitar tone and awesome vocals. Great stuff imo!!
