Paul Weller- Days of Speed. Beautiful.

I went to one of these dates....didn't have a ticket and asked the old lady in the ticket office for any returns. Stood outside in the snow just about to give up and she taps me on the shoulder and says there's a spare press ticket; front row to one side. Excellent gig; leaning on the stage at the end while he did Town Called Malice with just an acoustic guitar.

Live after death - Iron Maiden. Nothing any of you can say will make me change my mind, easily the best live album ever.


Mind you, I haven't actually heard 99% of the ones listed...............but that's not the point! :P

Live at the Brixton Academy - Faith no more
As I've said before, the Full English is just the base upon which the Scots/Welsh/NI have improved upon. Sorry but the Full English is the worst of the British breakfasts.

James Brown - Live At The Apollo.

How could it take until page five of this thread until Queen - Live at Wembley was mentioned? I'm disappointed, RAWK...

Hardest Rock and Roll ever committed to tape I wouldn't be surprised if there was blood on the piano after those performances.

I agree - ony of my top 3, easily - that and S&M took for ever to be said, and my other favourite hasn't even been mentioned - Muse Hullabaloo.  For my money Live at Rome Olympic Stadium is pretty darned close, with a better track list, and HAARP was Wembley Stadium when it had re-opened (I was there both days),  I still have a soft spot for Hullabaloo, with some more earlier and rarer stuff included being absolute bangers (Dead Space, In Your World, Micro Cuts, Megalomania, etc)

I'm not sure if it's the best live album ever, but I'm now convinced that it's the best Bowie album ever.  It's the one that's been on most on our record player since we got it a couple of years back.

One album that never gets mentioned in these lists, but should, is Neko Case's The Tigers Have Spoken. Incredible voice, great backing band and brillianltly recorded.
