    Just a few off the top of my head.

    David Bowie "David Live at the Tower Philadelphia"
    Frank Zappa "The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life"
    Butthole Surfers "Double Live - Bootleg"

    Grateful Dead "Europe 72"
    Deep Purple "Live in Japan"
    Bob Marley "Babylon by Bus"
    "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
    —Orson Welles as Harry Lime

      Alive In Athens by Iced Earth is the best I've ever heard, but I've still got lots to listen to. Also, bash them all you want, but Metallica's "Symphony & Metallica" is awesome.

        I've found some really cool cover songs by them online. Stuff from various concerts.

        They did a country/blue grass version of "Gin & Juice" which was hilarious, and they did "Freebird" like a barber shop quartet, doing all the parts with their mouths. Guitar solos and everything. Its fricken amazing.

          A 40 minute version of "Tweezer"
          i have a hard time understanding listening to the same song for more than seven minutes.

          my nominations go to "and all that could have been, live" from nine inch nails.

              Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won set is impressive, but there is only one live album that whips it.

              The Who Live At Leeds

              I've just acquired my fourth (I think) copy: The Deluxe Extended Edition.

              What is wrong with other bands? No one can seem to do it the way The Who do it.

              So what's yours?
              I heard somewhere that the Who was considered the loudest live act ever. Hard to believe they are louder than metal bands though.

                  I can't believe I'm the first person to mention Peter Frampton Comes Alive. This album is generally regarded as one of the greatest live albums ever, and definately of the 1970s.

                    Damn. Someone mentioned Frampton. I'm going to have to control my inner rage now.

                        My picks are-

                        "Dream Letter- live in London 1968"- Tim Buckley
                        "Live Rust"- Neil Young
                        "Unplugged in New York"- Nirvana
                        "Metallic KO"- Iggy and the Stooges
                        "Take no prisoners"- Lou Reed

                        And a bootleg of American Music Club at the Fleece & Firkin, Bristol- the best concert I ever saw.

                          With the line about the Antares Auto-tuner, the joke becomes quite obvious. At least that was my intention.

                                But the joke backfired, because obviously people thought that you seriously liked that crap, which shows the level of esteem that Apolyton holds your general taste.
