    @Saul_Iscariot Well, you can download all this stuff today, burn it to a CD, and you'll usually find a cover to print, too, if you're so inclined. Neither audio nor print quality will be worse than what you bought in the shops. :)

    From Youtube or some illicit site? The one thing I used to like about European bootlegs is that mechanical royalties were paid to the artists not the record companies. It made me feel less unclean.

    What was the Faith no More live at Brixton album called? Live at Brixton Academy seems too obvious, but right.

    @Saul_Iscariot

    Well, I would say "fan sites"

    I am kind of ok with bootlegs, at least if you buy the "regular" stuff from the artists too, as fans who are interested in bootlegs will usually do, I guess.

    Some good ones mentioned already so I'll add:

    Japan - Oil on Canvas (mainly for Sons of Pioneers)
    Nomeansno - Live + Cuddly
    Isis - Live 1,2 and 3
    Queensryche - Operation Livecrime

    Edit: And it turns out two of those had already been mentioned and I didn't notice :rolleyes:

    The Hendrix Live at the Royal Albert Hall album was amazing.

    Not sure it is in print anymore. But it features the version of Johnny Be Good that segues into Little Wing that crops up on a lot of other compilations.

    And a version of 'I Dont Live Today' thats outta sight, really outta sight

    Found a link here : https://youtu.be/SyflDhcyQ7k

    Ah, Little Wing. My all time favourite Jimi song.

    Yep.

    The live version of Little Wing from the Albert Hall is unreal... so much better than the studio version with the full blast glockenspiel sound all over it...

    Like the fool I am, I gave my copy of the live album away.

    I see no problem there. I should probably check out some fan sites. I'd happily pay for some of the stuff I have on tape to be replaced.

    Leonard Cohen - Live in London is fantastic.

    Does Nirvana Unplugged count?

    Cream's Wheels on Fire album. Second disc is Down at the Crossroads, spoonful etc. Proper chugging.

    Good call on Queen's Wembley show. Sends goosebumps down my spine.

    +1 for Stop Making Sense. Couldn't be bettered i think.

    Pink floyd live in pompeii. Echoes is Raw and in my humble opinion the best version recorded.

    So many corkers on here, and I'd like to add one that I think was tweaked to fuck and back in the studio, but the teenage me just loves the naughtiness of it all:

    W.A.S.P. Live...in the raw.

    EDIT: CORKERS, autocorrect..not CORNERS.

    I think the only Live album in my collection, at least the only one I've bought in the past five years or so is Marvin Gaye Live at the London Palladium (1977) because it's the only issue of the full version of 'Got to Give it Up' that I know of.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1-X2O_S48I

    And of course I only got to know that song thanks to Robin Thicke.

    Also controversially I think Alice in Chains unplugged is better than Nirvana.
    Mariah unplugged trumps them both

    Blue Wild Angel is a good addition to any Hendrix collection but it's more for the history than the performance imo. It's good but a little inconsistent. Still, last ever recording (I think), so I like it.

    Monterrey is also amazing.

    Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been. That's probably my personal number 1.

    I also listened to Mogwai - Special Moves recently, which was pretty great. It's a band that is definitely best seen live imo, and that album really captured a lot of the atmosphere for me.

    Prompted by the random appearance of Layla, Eric Clapton Unplugged. Sublime.
  • Deleted user 20 December 2016 07:11:12
    Such a shame Clapton is such a racist fuck
