Any other acts where a live album is their best album?

Best live album thread?

Clikitat Ikatowi
Iron Maiden
Hawkwind
Jesus Lizard is damn close

>>73317327
Most punk bands
Grateful dead obviously
Most jazz musicians

Although I do appreciate some studio trickery from time to time

If you haven't listened to Pig Pile by Big Black then you are missing out.

You don't like the Eno-core studio Sheen on RiL?

I probably won't get anyone to agree with me but this is my favorite Genesis album. Collins singing Gabriel era stuff and songs off of TOTT & W&W. Last with Hackett.

>>73317555
it's great, but Talking Heads just work so well as a live band. really brings some of their songs to life. i feel bad that eno tends to work with a lot of artists that are also really good live musicians

The Screamers

Basically all they had but I'm getting desperate.

johnny cash - at folsom prison

>>73317715
Ditto, was just going to say the same. Playing live at Folsom or San Quentin prison just adds something to it.

>>73317577
This is a great album

>>73317629
>smiley face

yeah we get that you're an asshole from the fact you like blink-182, you can tone it down a bit

>>73318186
One thing that bothers me about it is that a lot of the prisoners cheering throughout songs was faked and just dubbed in. The prisoners were mostly respectful and silent during the songs. It's a really powerful moment when you hear all the cheering at the 'shot a man just to see him die' line, but it didn't actually happen.

Favorite album from my favorite group.

>>73318339
it still doesn't matter if it happened or not. as long as you don't spoil it for someone before they here it, they'll still feel the same chills that most people get at that moment.

>>73317373
>proto noise rock
As great as this record is it's just more badass sounding classic rock

>>73317539
This. It's basically their songs pushed to 1000% and beyond. It's fucking insane.

>>73318496
Generally speaking I'd agree. However specifically it's widely accepted as proto-punk which I agree with. They almost broke through on this album but not quite. It would take another 4 years for their fellow Detroit band The Stooges to do it with the 1972 recording I Got A Right which is the literal blueprint for punk.

Don't know if it's the best but Chris Cornell's songbook is really good
Talking about his solo career of course

Allman Brothers Band

Neil Young

>>73318583
I Got a Right didn't break through at all. No Stooges record did. Nobody gave a fuck about them in the 70s. Also implying I don't know about the Stooges. I know more than you do.

>>73318764
I guarantee you are confused. Post the song and I'll explain why.

The best live classic rock album ever along with>>73317373

>>73318774
I know the song. I'm saying at the time it had no success at all outside of a niche group. Yes the Stooges are legendary today but you couldn't pay people to care about them in the 70s.

>>73317612
This

Most of Talking Heads albums are great but this is in it's own league.

>>73318987
Oh someone did care. Yet another group of Detroit rockers. A little band by the name of Death. A band who some people call visionaries when in reality they simply knew about I Got A Right. So now you have 2 bands from Detroit playing actual punk before the Ramones. Yet another coincidence is that Johnny Ramone bears a striking resemblance to Fred Sonic Smith of MC5. Almost as if he was interested in the Detroit rock scene right about the time The Ramones formed.

Regardless, when I said break through, that has literally nothing to do with popularity or even influence. Kick Out the Jams almost broke through compositionally. It was almost punk at times so close that it is widely accepted as proto-punk.

Allman Brothers Band (At Filmore East)
Fleetwood Mac (Boston 1970)
Led Zeppelin (The Song Remains The Same)

>>73319088
Why are you being so condescending when talking about bands everyone knows? Everyone familiar with the Detroit scene of the late 60/early 70s knows these bands. They're all loved. Fuck off. You don't know more than a basic wikipedia article.

whoops posted the wrong image

>>73319150
The contention was and is that I Got A Right was the literal blueprint for punk. Anything else I don't really give a fuck what you think.

>>73319229
I never said it wasn't. Personally I think TV Eye is more but that's my opinion.

>>73319240
Well I'd explain to you how it isn't but I wouldnt wanna be condescending.

>>73319273
Again you know nothing

>>73319273
Actually go ahead. Wow me.
