Tiggi Wrote:Off the top of my head, Queen's Live Killers album has a brief section where the band stop playing, and the crowd sing Love of my Life without accompaniment. That's quite good...

bjgeiger Wrote:Depends on the quality of the live recording. Joe Bonamassa Live From The Royal Albert Hall is an excellent live album however Psycho Circus Alive! 1975-2002 from Kiss leaves alot to be desired.

there are exceptions.
Cheap Trick's Live At Bodkan was one

Tiggi Wrote:^ you're welcome.

At the other end of the scale there's Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series Volume 4. This was recorded in 1966 on Dylan's first electric UK tour. The first disc is acoustic, and the audience are quite happy, but Bob brings his electric backing band on for the second half of the show, and things start to go a bit wrong.

The audience felt that he was betraying his Folk roots and become increasingly disapproving and vocal. Brilliant music, and a defining moment in Dylan's career.

Jerome Wrote:Kansas - Dust in the Wind - from live album 'Two for the Show' much better than the studio version.
Jethro Tull - Bursting Out
Genesis - Seconds Out
James Taylor - Live
Neil Diamond - Hot August Night - best intro to a live concert ever.
Yes - Yesshows
ELP - In concert

If you like Elton try his 'Live in Australia' CD - a masterpiece.
