well the pearl jam concert series for the 200 tour kicks ass because it has the entire concert on all 70+ concerts. (i have 27 now)
i like live albums because they show the true energy of a band....like cheap trick's live at budakan....the studio versions are those songs are good but they play them live with much more intensity. same with the cure live album 'show' the live versions showcase the songs in a more raw setting rather than polished up studio like the song doing the unstruck (live version is so much better)
but YADADADA is right...high quality boots are great because they show more of the true concert setting.
fav live a;bums include
song remains the same - led zeppelin
live at leeds - the who
wings over america - paul mccartney and wings
live at budakan - cheap trick
show - the cure
pearl jam - live on two legs
pink floyd - pulse
sonic youth and the flaming lips both need to put out a live album.
We have about 1500 songs.....all of them good!
