Nocturne from Siouxsie and the Banshees is also an amazing live album.
There version of Helter Skelter is fantastic on this.

Mean Woman Blues
High School Confidential
Money (That's What I Want)
Matchbox
What'd I Say, Pt. 1
What'd I Say, Pt. 2
Great Balls of Fire
Good Golly Miss Molly
Lewis Boogie
Your Cheatin' Heart
Hound Dog
Long Tall Sally
Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On
Down the Line

There's so much energy in the way Lewis attacks every song it's amazing he doesn't collapse with a coronary at the end.

That Jerry Lee album is fantastic !
Aggressive as hell, thanks a lot for bringing it to my attention !
The sound is also good for something so old.

Fucking hell, how can I have lived so long without hearing this album ?

Its one of if not my favourite Van album. He was much more at home on stage than in a studio, the band playing behind really pushed more energy and charisma out of him.

Sammy5IsAlive · « **Reply #220 on:** July 7, 2010, 12:52:06 am »

I'd go for one of the Velvet Underground live albums, if only for the fact that they have the reputation as being obtuse and unlistenable whereas you listen to the live albums and they have this really accessible swinging vibe which brings out the pop structures that alot of their songs had as their basis.

As well as that, Nirvana unplugged is a good shout. Especially when you think of today and whether a mainstream band would have the balls to play a set that is pretty much half made up of covers. And then a 'rock' band going unplugged to such effect.

Kahuna{=}Berger · « **Reply #221 on:** July 7, 2010, 12:52:46 am »

The Ramones - 'It's Alive'.

Also have a big soft spot fot the two live NOFX albums; 'I Heard They Suck Live' and 'They've Actually Gotten Worse Live'.

Paul Weller- Days of Speed. Beautiful.

Nirvana - Unplugged is incredible, probably my most watched DVD ever. Also have the cd which makes for great listening. It is great to hear a softer side to a band that mainly specialized in heavy rock music. The cover songs are performed brilliantly with many people claiming Nirvana's version of Man Who Sold The World superior to Bowie's. Kurt's rendition of Pennyroyal Tea is beautiful and sad both at the same time. The show finished with a cover of Lead Bellys "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" which is incredible, especially the final few moments where after howling the lyrics Kurt takes one quick look at the camera and you can see the torment in his eyes before he lets out a sigh and utters the final words.

Needless to say, I love that show and would reccomend it to anyone.

So many great ones out there.

But for me:
Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads.

Watching the film - you 'get it' much more than listening to the album.
The film directed by Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) is the best music video I've seen up to now.

Actually, scrap that. Who: Leeds. And a Ramones TDK I have from 1980. Like blood in the veins. Oh and the Cramps live at Napa State. Again, a cassette. Punch 'Cramps' and 'Napa' into Youtube.
