Live Albums which are the artist's BEST release
 

Which artists do you feel have a live album that is better than any of their studio releases?


Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From The Road

One of my favourite live albums, absolutely brilliant fun, tremendous musicianship, great quality recording and definitely their best.

Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963

Already reviewed this but great voice, great songs, great atmosphere.

Led Zeppelin - How The West Was Won (2003)

This was Zep at their prime, when Jimmy Page was still (relatively) sober and they hadn't yet recorded all the crap that made Physical Graffiti.

A lot of people would disagree with that Jimi Hendrix choice... including me <_<

Underworld - Everything, Everything

Jerry Lee Lewis - Live at the Star Club, Hamburg

I'd have gone with that one too

I've never been all that keen on live albums, but here's a pretty obvious choice from me;
