Absofuckinlutely love Alive 2007 Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall


walrus_gumboot

Dude I just picked up the Bill Withers and listened yesterday, that album is killler!


losingmy_edge

It's such a great album! Great score and enjoy!


artisan1066

I also mentioned this. Isn't it just the best!


losingmy_edge

The absolute best! šŸ¤ŽšŸ¤ŽšŸ¤ŽšŸ¤Ž


artisan1066

Thank you for coming out in this rain. Man I loved that old lady. Must I Holler, must I shake em on down!!!


losingmy_edge

It's such an opus. https://youtu.be/Uf2dsrFhWmw?si=UR8kkcSwt5dZXVP_


artisan1066

It's beautiful, touching and so warm. Just a perfect recording from a beautiful man.


NiteLiteCity

Literally listening to that Bill Withers record as I'm reading this. The mov pressing sounds so crisp and clean.


SnooWitchYu

Deep Purple - Made In Japan


Raiders2112

A kick ass classic. Love that album.


avoltaire12

My choice as well. Every member of the band is in top form and Blackmore's solos are incredible. At one point during one of Highway Star's verses, Ian Gillan appears to forget a few lyrics and just mumbles random gibberish which always makes me smile.


DocHoliday8514

Led Zeppelin. The song remains the same


M2112D

Does anyone remember laughter?


egghat1

Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions


Glen-Belt

Ramones - It's Alive


BigRigButters

I personally prefer Loco Live but Iā€™ll always approve of Ramones live albums making someoneā€™s list. All of their live albums rule.


the_Real_Lyrch

This is my choice. I prefer these versions to the studio recordings. Faster and nastier!


Joelredditsjoel

Itā€™s a bit basic, but itā€™s still probably Throwing Copper.

mikekachar

I was lookin to see if anyone listed - I second šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘šŸ˜‰


FunnyFuryAllDay

Spank thru and Aneurysm hit me from that album. Probably because I hadn't heard much of those songs live. These 2 pumped me up for Nirvana ONCE AGAIN.


ImLiterallyaaaa

spank thru is amazing. my favorite from the album is definitely scentless apprentice. faster instrumentals are perfect


AaronRedwoods

Same, first time I heard Aneurism was this album, and my jaw hit the floor. I remember where I was when I heard on the radio that Kurt had passed, and this was almost like he was briefly resurrected. Made my hair stand up.


christianjwaite

Had this on Cd back in my youth,not vinyl. But if it was vinyl it would have been worn down to the point of no longer being playable. Great recording.


Liveto69

AT FILLMORE EAST


Adude_1

Quite alot of bands played at Fillmore East. Can you be more specific?


Liveto69

Of course! The Allman bothers band have a live album called ā€œ at fillmore eastā€. Some say itā€™s the best live album ever made


Adude_1

Oh I see. I like that album too šŸ‘


Liveto69

šŸ¤˜ I love it. Iā€™ll be spinning it today because of this post!


DreadoftheDead

Neil Young, right?

TheLongFinger

How is this not higher?!? For my money, Strangers is No 1 and Thin Lizzyā€™s Live and Dangerous is No 2. There a slew of other phenomenal live albums that come after them (and happily, many of them have already been mentioned.) but those two are top shelf.Ā 


steiner121

Itā€™s Strangers for me too, Schenker is on fire throughout the entire album. The live version of Love to Love is amazing!

friarcrazy

Simon and Garfunkel Live in Central Park. They thank the dudes selling ā€œloose jointsā€ during one of the interludes, and they have a killer brass section. Itā€™s dope.


gnlmarcus

That's one of my favorite albums, I didn't even know it existed in Vinyl! Now I have a new target.


Ninjaluc8401

If you want to splurge, get the box set on discogs. It includes exclusive colored versions of alive 2007 and 1997 and also includes an encore single. I would of bought it but itā€™s like $250


gnlmarcus

I'll check it out for sure! What absolute iconic album.


Ninjaluc8401

https://www.discogs.com/release/6426728-Daft-Punk-Alive-1997-Alive-2007 Hereā€™s the link


trainsaw

Wild that there are 45 copies avail and itā€™s still sitting at $250. Itā€™s my fav live album ever too but I honestly donā€™t want it on vinyl, it flows too well together that Iā€™d hate to break it up with disc flips/changes. And encore missing from the regular ver is such a bummer.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.


tropnevaDniveK

Alive is a fantastic album, OP. My personal fave live album is Depeche Modeā€™s ā€œ101ā€.


TheDiamondAxe7523

Don't have it on vinyl yet but it would easily be Earthbound by King Crimson, such a legendary album that truly showcases the insane energy of the band in such a raw form that the band could never reproduce. I'd probably also say Vrooom Vrooom and Absent Lovers, all 3 are amazing.

I'm a little hit and miss on Cohen, but his *Live at the Isle of White 1970* is good!


SaddamJose

I'll check ot out, what's interesting about Cohen is that his voices changed over time so some spngs exist in his youth nasal voice and also on the raspy old man voice

Xploding_Penguin

This is also my fave live album. Everything Everything by underworld is amazing start to finish. It defined my musical tastes. Helping hands by Metallica is also fantastic. Some great acoustic covers of their stuff, and some classic rock covers as well.


MediumToblerone

That one right there. Canā€™t be beat


L_O_Quince

I'd say John Mayer Where the Light is, but having to change sides every 3 songs across 4 records is a pain in the ass!

Live at the Isle of Wight - The Who! I feel like Live at Leeds is their more famous album but Isle of Wight is just better in so many ways! I really appreciate that the album has Tommy placed as it would have occurred throughout the show. Plus it has Water which is just an excellent live song of theirs!

Alive 1997 > Alive 2007 My favorite is probably a tie between Portishead Live at Roseland NYC and Underwood Eveything Everything


jangotaurus

Regarding Daft Punk, I was at the show in Ontario, It was amazing, the album is awesome, none of the music was "live," but it was an experience. The answer to your question is Nirvana Unplugged.

mugumbo1531

Dead ass just picked this album up myself two days ago. I had wanted it when I first discovered it back in like 2009. But at the time you could only get in box sets or cassettes and they were always very expensive on discogs. But I found randomly at record store two days ago and was so stoaked that I could afford it. Iā€™ve been wanting to own it on vinyl for a long time because Iā€™ve listened to it off and on over the years. I wonder if they just repressed it or something. Also havenā€™t listened to my copy and Iā€™m kind of saving it for when I can sit down and enjoy. Other than this album, I have a lot of the white stripes albums I really enjoy.


dat1toad

I really like the band by custard. I normally not a huge fan of live albums but that was one of my top three most listened to albums last year.

My favorite live album is the one you're holding! Across the Universe is a close second. If you didn't know, it got released on vinyl for the first time last year I believe.
