Battle of the Live Albums!

[Spiff]

Guys and gals,

Time for another poll, methinks. Which of these live albums is the best in your opinion? And before you say, yes, I *know* I missed your favourite one. So sue me.

 

[Spiff]

And yes, Coops, I just realised I forgot that dodgy live album Megadeth released recently

And YES, Spawny, I just realised I forgot the actually-quite-good live album Iced Earth released a couple of years back I put Slayer there though!

 

[Lord Tim]

Helloween - Live In The UK... Mainly just for that note Kiske sings right at the end of How Many Tears! Wow!

 

[Joe Salami]

Went with LAD, of course.

Very Honourable Mentions :
Slayer - Decade Of Aggression. Maiden beats this by a gnats doover.

Dream Theater - Live Scenes From New York. A Change Of Seasons live and complete. Enough said.

Deep Purple - Made In Japan. Classic.

Ozzy Osbourne - Live And Loud. His best by far, just for Crazy Train and Bark At The Moon!

Gamma Ray - Alive '95. Kai live, proving he CAN sing and play at the same time...

Queensryche - Operation : LiveCrime. Ridiculously awesome!!

W.A.S.P - Double Live Assassins. Blackie was in fine form on this...

 

[Tough As Steel]

Can't believe there even needs to be a poll for this.

Live After Death - hands down.

 

[Arcane]

Very tough one.. was a tossup between LAD, Helloween - Live in the UK and Dream Theater - Live Scenes..

Helloween get the vote... How good is Kiske, not many bands/singers would have the balls to try and do a song like We have the Right live.

That's ok Spiffo, I would have voted for DT's Live Scenes From New York regardless... it rocks my world

 

[Ralphe]

a tough choice but i went for Deep Purple-Made in Japan(the best drum solo ever!) just ahead of Maiden-Live after Death

 

[Spiff]

I went with "Burning Japan Live" by the Voice of Rock, Glenn Hughes. What a great album!

 

[spawn]

Id go either:
Bruce Dickinson - Scream For Me Brazil
Iced Earth - Alive In Athens
Halford - Live Insurrection
But you left all of them out

Or Rock In Rio just for the crowd

 

[Spiff]

If Scream For Me Brazil was actually any good I probably would have remembered it... but it's not so I didn't

 

[spawn]

How dare you!

 

[Spiff]

If there was an absolute dud of a live album, and the producers or whoever blatantly dubbed in a very loud crowd, would it still be a dud live album in your opinion?

 

[JonBonJovi]

Where is a Bon Jovi one?
I voted in favour of your ignorance

 

[Mark]

LAD!! Although I almost voted for Hughes, but can't remember much of it apart from the fact it rawked

And also Helloween's - my first Helloween album, and the only one I have fond memories of

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Kiss Alive and Live After Death are a tie for me so I went Kiss coz they're my fave band and I knew Live After Death would have 7643205432 votes.

 

[Bucko]

Sabbath - Live Evil
Thin Lizzy- Live and Dangerous
Judas Preist - Preist Live
Pink Floyd - Delicate sound of thunder
Ozzy - Speak of the Devil
AC/DC- If you want blood
Motorhead - no sleep till hammersmith
Twisted Sister - live at Hammersmith

heres a few more
oh Rose Tattoo -25 to life( Wacken 2000)

Depends how you define dud, people say Scream For Me Brazil sucks and I love it, performance as well as the crowd. But then im used to being the odd one out

 

[Spiff]

A Real Live One then.

I like those 2 albums, some parts anyway
