Def Leppard - "In The Round" as a LIVE ALBUM as well as video! Best sound production EVER on a live video, nearly every song sounds better than its studio version, massive! Why not master it to CD and release it?!?!

Dokken - "Beast From The East" should have been filmed and released on video. Would've rocked... there is no Dokken concert from when they were good on video.

Kiss - An "Alive" album (and preferrably video too) from when Eric Carr was in the band with lots of '80s songs on the tracklisting. I wanna hear them live. Or at least limited Alive III to only 1982-1992 era songs, as Alive II was limited to only songs that came out after Alive.

Motley Crue - Their first concert video should NOT have been from the New Tattoo tour! Surely somewhere in their archives they have pro-shot concerts from the Girls & Feelgood tours and stuff, they would be amazing to see as Motley had the best stageshows around!!! I have their performance at the US Festival '83 on video (pro-shot) but its not official or anything and only a 40 minute daytime set coz they weren't big yet. Great set though, but Vince as usual misses words, is out of key, and appears to be drunk haha! He's alot better than on Lewd Crued & Tattooed though.

Poison - A live video from around the Flesh & Blood era. Awesome stageshow with 3 rokkin' albums worth of songs. I wanna SEE IT! I think Swallow This is a good live album (although the sound and playing is pretty bad!) just because it has so much raw energy on it, and I think without seeing it at the same time is why nobody likes the album, its missing something. Poison shows aren't a showcase of their songs, they are a party basically and thats what comes across on the CD, but it doesn't work as an album, it'd only work as a video.

Alice Cooper - Alices Trashes The World as a live album. The songs all sound AWESOME with their hair metal make-overs and it'd make a great live album! Glad its on video at least though coz its a KILLER stageshow too!

Vinnie Vincent - The albums he has been promising for the last 12 years *Sigh*... I'm itching to hear Guitars From Hell & Guitarmageddon. If he says they are his sleaziest and most over the top albums yet (and the debut is hard to top for that!) they have to be great! Especially since some of the song titles include "Cock Teazer", "Brain Saw" and "Heavy Metal Poontang" hahaha! Has to be classy :D I wish more bands recorded stuff like that in the late 90s! Just release the damn things! A year ago he finally decides to release something and its a 71 minute guitar solo... WE WANT THE ALBUMS not a freakin' guitar solo recorded at rehearsal!
 
In The Round was fixed Troops, I have the original soundboard recording and it doesnt sound the same, they fixed all the backing vocals and Joes vocals as well, though maybe they just mixed them differently on the video I dont know.
 
Yeah I know it was obviously fixed Spawn (nobody sounds that good live!). I'm saying they should release the album on CD though!

Yeah that's true Xena... but Motley never released that, plus it was a scaled down daytime set and part of a two-part video set of the festival. What I want is a proper Motley release of one of their tours like they did for the New Tattoo tour. But I want one for a good tour like Dr. Feelgood or Girls Girls Girls, full show!
 
Oh well in that case I agree! Though Def Leppard ARE a very good live band, just that they mixed the video WAY different to the straight from the soundboard recording, I dont think they did any guitar/bass etc. editing though, just the way the vocals are handled.

I love the little harmonic intro to Hysteria they do on that video, it sounds awesome.

A Dr. Feelgood tour dvd would be UNREAL! :headbang: I was thinking of buying the box set they released, I only have Dr. Feelgood, New Tattoo, Live:Entertainment Or Death and the Greatst Hits thingo. Do I have all the best songs already or is it worth it to buy the albums in the box set?
 
You're missing the 2 best Motley albums Spawny! Too Fast For Love and Shout At The Devil!! Apparently the boxed set has awesome packaging and tons of rare/unreleased stuff so its probably worth getting! And as far as I know it has their first 4 albums which you don't have.... so yep its probably worth getting :)

Yeah Def Leppard are AWESOME live, even on the live tracks from Sheffield on Visualize they sound AMAZING! As Vivian Campbell says, there are no sampled backing vocals live, they sound so good because they are a band of talented singers! I think with In The Round it sounds like the main thing they have done is just put effects on what was there mainly, putting lots of delay on certain parts, etc. to give it a bigger and more produced album-like sound.
 
Ok ill get the box set then :headbang:

Nah, they did more, they tracked the background vocals a lot more, and Joes vocals were fixed, I dont know how, because he didnt resing them, they just smoothed everything out its hard to explain, if you hear the cd you will know what I mean :)
 
Troops, I like you agree that Shout is a good album, but aint it strange that the band say it is their worst and full of filler in The Dirt? I found it a surprise anyhoo
 
I never read them say Shout is their worst in The Dirt, all they do is praise it in The Dirt!!! Theater Of Pain is the one they say sucks.... Vince says when he was singing the songs live he couldn't believe what a bad record it was. But they had nothing but praise for Shout from what I remember! Shout At The Devil is by far their most highly acclaimed album by pretty much everyone.
 
Theater has a few great songs: Home Sweet Home, Louder Than Hell, Tonight (We Need A Lover) and Save Our Souls. Keep Your Eye On The Money isn't bad either. The rest of the album blows...
 
Some of "Alice Cooper Trashes The World" was released on CD. Look in your bargain bins for an Alice compilation CD called "Classicks". The last half a dozen or so tracks are all live from that video.

Back to the topic, Queensryche should have released a double live album from the Empire tour. Operation Livecrime is great as it is, but I'd prefer the full concert.

Megadeth should put out a *decent* best-of covering their entire career.

Faith No More should have reissued their earlier albums with new Mike Patton vocal tracks, or at least a Days of Purgatory style compilation with the best bits of both.

Van Halen should have made a live album during the Roth era.

Iron Maiden should release Live After Death and Maiden England on DVD with 5.1 sound mixes.

Ditto for KISS with Animalize Live Uncensored, including the four bonus tracks that were on the Japanese version.

While I'm at it, they should have recorded Alive III on the Hot In The Shade tour. That set was the best possible combination of 70s and 80s material, with an Eric Carr drum solo and one of their most memorable stage shows :headbang:.
