    Though it is more an E.P. than an album Jeff's Live at Sin E would be my fave.

    Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads
    Rank - The Smiths
    ...and there's a Dexys Midnight Runners one around which is pretty good too (can't remember the name of it but was recorded by the BBC in early 1982).

    Blind Guardian - Tokyo Tales damned fine album, luvvit luvvit luvvit!

    live ****, binge and purge is good, the videos are bloody class! *only seen a few songs from them*, but frtom metallica.. it has to be S&M that surpasses the rest...
    the orchestra works so damn well with most of the songs.. specially call of ktulu

    damn straight... Comfortably Numb on that is just absolutely mind blowing, nearly on a par with Echoes live at pompeii.

    Spiritualized in the Albert Hall is excellent. I've always had a soft spot for REM Tourfilm and the proper Nirvana live video, Live, Tonite and Sold Out, I've got both of those recorded onto tape.

    Oh, Paris by The Cure is fantastic, and I'm not a huge Cure fan typically.

    one of the best live albums i have heard lately is Ben Harper : Live From Mars. I don't know if it's available in Ireland but it has been one of the biggest sellers in australia this year.

    Also :Rank - The Smiths

    Great choice :D I have a few of the full band albums and a few bootlegs but L@LC wins it hands down for me.

    *grumble* *fart*

    Regardless of this thread being re-awoken, the answer is STILL Metallica's S&M.

    Now go back to sleep!

    IMO...

    Faith No More: Live at the Brixton Academy
    One of my all-time fav's

    Also Pearl Jam live at the Point- is overall a great set, but maybe I just liked it cos I was at the gig.

    BTW Niall,
    Live Sh*t B & P, has a real shítty box with stickers for the suppossed Touring cabinets. The live set from Mexico City aint that great either- Although there is a great version of "Seek and Destroy". In retrospect I wouldn't have forked out the £93 it was in 1993:eek:
    (The Scary Guy Stencil was cool though:p )

    Going back to PinkFloyd, 'Live At Pomeii' is fanf uckingtastic. It's a pity they never released it as an album. Echoes... woah! I liked Pulse for the special shiver down the spine bits - crowd singing before the DSOM bit, a couple of cracking solos etc.. but if you can get the tape version of it, all the better. After Confortably numb/Run Like Hell there's about 40 minutes of stoners bliss in the form of the full length 'Cluster One' from Division Bell. Lawnmowers, rivers, birds tweeting etc.. Syd'd be proud of it.

    I liked the live sides of Ummagumma but am touch and go with Delicate Sound Of Thunder although the Momentary Lapse of Reason stuff is better than some of the older stuff which sounds a bit lumpen.

    Wall Live - another cracker.

    Eh... dunno what happened there.. havn't listened to any of them in ages.

    aye.. havent watched it in ages tho, thanks to the new era of dvd invading my room.. no vhs anymore, boooooooo! .. hopefully a new release will be on the cards *droool*

    havent heard that.. but believe me its now on my must get list... used to have an old bbc session bootleg of DSOTM on mp3, was damn good quality, then the hard drive partition died on me *sniff*..

    ummagummas live side is pretty good alright, set the controls for the heart of the sun is pretty much a dead ringer for the version at pompeii, other tracks i wouldnt listen to much tbh, i prefer the other cd, granchester meadows and the narrow way..

    as far as the wall live goes, i havent listened to the wall (studio album) since i bought it.. a good year and a half or so ago now.. its just so damn good, so much feeling in the instrumentals, the extra tracks, only thing i cant stand is the barbershop quartet at the very end singing outside the wall.. very painful listening :) apart from that id say its my most played minidisc (yay LP2.. whole 2 cds on one minidisc).
