Whats the best live album youve heard?

I say And all that could of been - NIN

 

[Xorv]

pain of salvation - 12:5

 

[Belligerent]

are we strictly talking metal? if not Zep's Song Remains The Same and Floyds Echoes:Live in Pompeii are way up there for me

Slayer - Decade of Aggression
Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine

 

[Personified Hatred]

Slayer - Decade Of Aggression
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Kreator - Live Kreation

No order.

 

[Dak]

Metallica - S&M first by a long shot
Iced Earth - Alive In Athens
Death - Live in LA
Metallica - Live Shit:Binge and Purge

 

[The Ozzman]

This shouldn't even be close

Slayer - Decade of Aggression
Grateful Dead - Dead Set
AiC - Unplugged

 

[Omni]

Diamanda Galás - Plague Mass

 

[Dak]

AiC - Unplugged

Good choice.

lawlz@ Grateful Dead.

It's the only Grateful Dead album I own. That says something as I'm not a huge fan of jam bands and hippie type bands

 

[Oriax]

I agree with aic unplugged and Decade of aggression, great albums.
In all hounesty its damn hard to go with one

Keep em comin!

Even though there are probably 20-30 other Grateful Dead albums that sound exactly like that one.

Actually some of the songs on the studio albums are faster. I guarantee you it's the only GD album you need to own.

I don't care much for live albums but Mayhem's Live in Leipzig is essential.

 

[Lord Kur]

the only good live stuff is by gg allin

mayhem's live stuff is awful and i like awful stuff. but not that

 

[optionthree]

Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine

Also:

Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East
Fates Warning - Still Life

 

[Lord Kur]

mayhems live stuff is horrible

the only people who like it are stupid and just pretend to like it to be cutting edge

 

[AchrisK]

...Zep's Song Remains The Same...

Best live album ever!!!


Second would be Iron Maiden's Maiden Japan EP.

 

[SentinelSlain]

EDIT

@ Mayhem live stuff

It's pretty erm, hard to get into. That kind of music hardly needs to be more erm, raw.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I always loved Live Legacy from Dissection.

For my money the best live album is Blind Guardian - Live. The reason? Fucking astounding crowd interaction.

Kreator - Live Kreation

Metallica - S&M first by a long shot

Iced Earth - Alive In Athens

You can tell this is a really good live album because I don't like Iced Earth's studio stuff much but I still really like this.
