Greatest Live Albums of the 60`s and 70`s
 

Peoples thoughts, on some of the great live albums of this period.

Some of my greats are as follows:

Who-Live at Leeds
Deep Purple-Made in Japan
Cheap Trick-At the Budokan
MC5-Kick Out the Jams
Humble Pie-Rockin`the Fillmore
Tubes-What Do You Want from Live
Yes-Yessongs
Neil Young-Live Rust
Blue Oyster Cult-On Your Feet or on Your Knees

LOL, I'm not allowed to post links yet.

Amazon has a selection of those, just Google them.

My personal favorites are from Queen (Wembley) and Pink Floyd had some great shows.

I also love Bob Marley and the Wailers Live at the Rainbow.

Also anything pretty much from CCR be it studio or live albums make the grade for me.

Thre`s a great live album by Bob Marley at the Lyceum, do you mean this one?

This is a great one too (dumb I forgot to mention it seeing that I have this album too), but I meant the one at London's Rainbow Theater in 1977.

Greatest? Humble Pie - Rockin' The Fillmore. (Vinyl is the best, if you can find a nice copy!)

I heard this album for the first time only a couple of years ago despite having heard the rest of their stuff yonks ago, agree its amazing and a live album never to forget and showcases the bands hot and sweaty sound.

You can never fail with Springsteen & E Street Band live, so "Live At The Hammersmith '75" and "Live 75-85"

Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert, all Bootleg series are supreme, but this is the best for my money.

Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison/San Quentin

Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971

David Bowie - Stage.....now apparently the original version wasn't liked, but I only had the 2004 which I like, so yeah, good stuff.

James Brown - Live at the Apollo

Metallic K.O. by Iggy and the Stooges

Anything by Hendrix, whether its studio or live is always outstanding.

This is a good selection, especially throwing Bowie in there.

This is one of the few things that I haven`t heard by the Stooges, truth is I`d long forgotten about it.

anybody heard of the doors? i think they did one or two very good live albums, live in detroit, to many to mention, mr mojo rising

Problem is, most of the Doors live stuff is chopped out of various concerts and pasted together and lacks the continuity of a great live album from just one concert.

Jethro Tull - live at Isle of White 1970.

Great album.

Only familiar with Bursting Out released in 1978.

Definitely worth checking out if you were half-amused by the previous album.

The Grateful Dead- Live/Dead

Kiss - Alive!

elvis's 68 comeback special: what a talent!

Check out Johnny Winter And Live if you like Derringer's stuff. Smokin' geetars!!

Best live albums around led zeppelin the song remains the same
metallica live **** binge & purge kiss alive 1 2 and 3 guns n roses live era
moterhead no sleep til hammersmith no sleep at all everything louder than everyone else brixton academy
deep purple made in japan live at montreux yessongs emerson lake and palmer at the isle of wight 1970

Hendrix - Band of Gypsys as mentioned previously. My personal favourite Hendrix recording, it's as perfect as perfect gets.

The Who - Live at Leeds, again already mentioned.

And this

Check out a Boston 60's and 70's hometown band for a great live album: J. Geils Band "Full House". Although critics have trashed the Stones "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" it has always been one of my favorites. The person that listed Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall definitely knows what they are talking about! Townes Van Zandt had a few great live albums,too.

Live Rust is definite must listen.

Frampton Comes Alive, anyone? lulz

I know their "Showtime" Album which was as released ten years later in 1982. The J Geils band always had a reputation as being a great live band anyway.

My experience of Pete Frampton is based on his work with Humble Pie and that's the only solo album of his I actually like.

Deep Purple-Made in Japan tops it for me. Great band, great album. My dad listens to it non-stop.

Whoa, I didn't think there was anyone who didn't know about Frampton Comes Alive. Maybe it's just a U.S. thing, but it's probably the most famous live album ever recorded.

Peter was a lot better in Humble Pie, imho, though.

Definately. Check out Humble Pie - "Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore" album. Never Better.

I know of the album but just never ever got around to giving it a listen.

Hell yeah.

I have to say The Band's "Last Waltz" is easily my favourite live album of all time -- have you seen the lineup of that performance? It was like a mini-Woodstock, and the production of the DVD is fabulous.

i like thin lizzy--live and dangerous

In no Particular Order

MC5- Kick out the Jams
Stooges- Metallic K.O. (im used to the quality)
The Who- Live At Leeds
Emerson Lake and Palmer- Pictures at an Exhibition
Various Artists- Woodstock

The Allman Brothers Band - "The Fillmore concerts"
I'd put it in a top ten list of live albums from that era.

The Doors
 

Check out The Doors bootlegs, if you can find them download them, may not be the best quality, but there a must if your a Doors fan.

The Band - "Rock Of Ages"
Peter Frampton - "Frampton Comes Alive" (the mixing and production is phenomenal)

Dead Set
