Surely there's a law against this kind of thing. :O

Yeah, and said law should have written in it somewhere 'anyone found listening to Katy Melua will be subjected to a public stoning'

Alain Stivell - A L'Olympia

Allman Brothers - Live at the Filmore East

Joe Bonamassa - An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House

Hawkwind - Space Ritual Live in London

 
Led Zeppelin - For Badgeholders Only (Bootleg but the best ever live concert, Bonham and Moon together on drums.)

Deep Purple - Made In Japan

Rainbow - Captain Cornflakes (Bootleg but Blackmore's best ever Japanese concert)

I love live albums - could add loads to that list, including Dream Theater - Score & Live At Budokan, Blaze - As Live As It Gets, Dire Straits - Alchemy etc etc etc
 
Anything that gets close to The Who Live at Leeds has got to be a bit special.

4 Incredble musicians at the very top of their game. Incredible recording too. :rockout:
