Discussion Question

[Jason Tate]

What's your favorite live album? Most live albums suck, but there are a few rare gems. Which are your favorites?

[Jason Tate]

Mine would be Morrissey's Live at Earl's Court with MXPX's At the Show being a close second.

[deekismusic]

Right now, Matisyahu - Live At Stubb's ;)

[autumnthursday]

Sublime - Stand By Your Van
Blink 182 - The Mark Tom and Travis Show
and ACDC's

[X__inhope]

[zizou1790]

BY FAR

blink-182, "mark, tom, travis show"

[ianfnwilkie]

Fenix TX - Purple Reign of Blood.

[AFSjulian]

I'll always be a sucker for Unplugged 2.0 by Dashboard Confessional, but the new Bright Eyes live release Motion Sickness is excellent. Morrisey's is killer too.

[ADDisfunforme]

you cant go wrong with the blink live album, at the show is a close second

[AFSjulian]

Oh fuck... The Get Up Kids' was awesome too!

[ACA]

I have a few bootleg Thursday albums that are INSANE. Same with AFI. Those would be the best.

As for official, full length album? I couldn't even guess.. a lot of good live EPs though from bands like Thrice, Thursday, AFI...

-ACA

[screamoURI]

[Nigel Tufnel]

U2- Live at Slain Castle. best live album/dvd ever

[DroppedUrPocket]

Coheed and Cambria - Live at Starland

[theallmighty1]

Glad to see No Use for a Name: Live in a Dive and Sublime: Stand by your Van mentioned
Two Fantastic Albums, amazing amazing amazing
But my favorite live cd of all Time would be
2 Skinnee J's: Return of the furious Dragon
God how I miss that band, plus I hold that cd in a special place in my heart as I was at Mississippi Night's standing next to the sound board and bootlegging the set myself. So it wins out over the other two as a pure sentimental favorite

[sparksfly]

the get up kids, duh! haha.

[deFobbed14yrs]

am i the only one who loved Green Day's bullet in a bible? it fuckin rocked! he's like 30 something and can still sing better then ay of this new crap coming un. did u know FOB has a grammy nomination?

[Doctor Martyr]

Johnny Cash-Live At Madison Square Garden


more songs, and preformed awesome.

[Valued at Zero]

blink 182: the mark, tom and travis show, hands down is my favorite live album.

bullet in a bible by green day was pretty awesome as well.

[PlunketChris]

I'm a live music junkee so, Jason Mraz-- Tonight, Not Again; Eric Clapton-- Unplugged; and MXPX-- At The Show all would probably land on my top 15 albums of all time, I can't pick a favorite cuz they're all pretty different.

Blink, Get Up Kids, Dashboard unplugged, and Sublime-- Stand By Your Van are all high quality too... The only Face To Face album I like is their live one, somethin about a good live album makes me respect a band 10x more than I normally would.

[JunkBondTrader]

1. Wilco- Kicking Televison: Live From Chicago
2. Bright Eyes- Motion Sickness


and i want the strokes to record a live album because they are absolutely flawless live its almost disgusting

[Kram41]

The Goo Goo Dolls "Live in Buffalo" is excellent, though I just got it yesterday.

MxPx and Blink are also exceptional.

[StartingLine182]

Blink and Get Up Kids.

I wish more bands would release live Cds.

[DroppedUrPocket]

am i the only one who loved Green Day's bullet in a bible? it fuckin rocked! he's like 30 something and can still sing better then ay of this new crap coming un. did u know FOB has a grammy nomination?
stfu

[1000shadesofred]

Dashboard Unplugged, Coheed, and No Use For A Name (live in a dive)

[FeynmanWannabe]

I really liked the Thursday album of course. Dashboard Unplugged had abnoxious kids singing along and drowning Chris out. I also have a bunch of live Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, Rufus Wainwright bootlegs which are really great, too.

[itsjdiggity]

Jay Z Unplugged owns

[deathcabforcash]

gosh, there are a lot of good live albums.
my fav is probably ben folds live, followed by matisyahu live at stubbs, and then mxpx live at the show, mxpx is classic.

[circasurvivor]

Peter Frampton

Fraptom Comes Alive Bitches!!!!

[SilentC39]

Limbeck's Hey Everything's Fine

[FeynmanWannabe]

gosh, there are a lot of good live albums.
my fav is probably ben folds live, followed by matisyahu live at stubbs, and then mxpx live at the show, mxpx is classic.
Haha, I have Ben Folds covering Wham!'s "Carless Whisper" with Rufus Wainwright. It's awesome.

[Scott Weber]

Limbeck's Hey Everything's Fine

[ocnightmare]

blink 182 - the mark tom and travis show


great entertainment

[DEELER]

The Bouncing Souls - Live (double cd)
blink-182 - The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show
Lagwagon - Live in a Dive

[violencexgrace]

1. The Juliana Theory - Live 10.13.2001 (this was released after Love, and my faith in them was renewed after I heard it)

followed by: Five Iron Frenzy - Proof That the Youth Are Revolting and Blink 182 - The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (someone stepped on it years ago, I super-glued it back together... it still plays, but skips horribly the entire way through :'( )

[FatJordan]

I can't believe that Nirvana's Unplugged In New York has only been mentioned once. Amazing album.

However, my favorite live is Lagwagon's Live in a Dive. Great track choice in addition to sounding great.

[parf_3]

pretty much re-hashing what everyone else has said, but...

blink 182 - mark, tom & travis show
mxpx - at the show
johnny cash - live at folsom
the ataris - live at the metro

[Nate_RAWKS]

Face to Face Live
MXPX At the Show
No Use for a Name Live in a Dive
Lagwagon Live in a Dive
The Mark, Tom and Travis Show
NOFX I Heard They Suck Live

I could go on i love live albums.....

[Kristina Marie]

The Juliana Theory (Live 10.13.2001), Green Day (Bullet In A Bible), and Wilco (Kicking Television). I generally don't like live albums, mostly because a lot of terrible acts put them out (especially as of late) or the quality is just awful.

[radxbandit]

I liked Guster, I was to check out Matchbox Twenty's live DVD. The Goo Goo Dolls was awesome its all in the pouring rain...and sounds great

[ever so sweet20]

if were talking about actual releases(like cd and all that)

mark, tom and travis show
live at stubbs
purple reign in blood
live in a dive(no use for a name)
live at the grenada theater

stuff that isnt on cd
eisley-live at the troubedor

[biffyboy]

no use for a name - live in a dive

great so cal punk cd

ditto me. no use for a name's live in a dive album is quality and what first got me into the band. So many amazing songs on it. in fact i'm gonna put it on right now.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Alkaline Trio - Live at the Metro (DVD)

[TheWordsmith]

Limbeck's Hey Everything's Fine

that's my #1, the get up kids was really good too

[Chemical Love]

So many of the Grateful Deads live albums
Jack Johnson - Live at the Greek
Tons from Bonnaroo
Pearl Jam - Live on Two Legs

[Manbotisdead]

I think the one that most impresses me is the Triumph the insult comic dog one.

[forgetevth]

Five Iron Frenzy- The last show in denver cd that came with "The End is Here"...the emotion at the end of that cd is amazing. and the crowd and reese singing for 8 mins amazing grace and silent night. puts chills in my spine

[Robb]

I really didn't like Morrissey's Live at Earl's Court. The sound is weird, and the setlist is spotty. I preferred the "Who Put the M in Manchester" DVD. Beethoven was Deaf was also great.

Others:

Depeche Mode - 101
Nirvana Unplugged
The Smiths - Rank
Ben Folds live

[furynine]

blink 182 mark tom and travis show

nofx - i heard they suck live

[Tony]

am i the only one who loved Green Day's bullet in a bible? it fuckin rocked! he's like 30 something and can still sing better then ay of this new crap coming un. did u know FOB has a grammy nomination?
last time i checked, age had nothing to do with how well someone could sing. fun fact: frank sinatra was over 70 years old when he died and he could still sing better than anyone in any of the bands you listen to. clown.

anyway, best live albums for me would have to be:
ben folds live
less than jake - live from uranus
mxpx - at the show

[poppa Q]

ben folds live


Thank you.

[lucian guthrie]

Jeff buckley - live at sin-e

[noodledancer]

i don't have that much live music, but out of what i have:
1. hanson- underneath acoustic (mainly cuz it's lower on girls' shrieks than the other two)
2. something corporate- live at hob chicago 11/30/03 (not an official album, but whatever)
3. jason mraz- some live cd my friend bought at a show in 2003

[LPMagic]

No question, Blink 182's.

- Jeff

[PlunketChris]

Jay Z Unplugged owns

Agreed. While on the hip-hop end of things.. LL Cool J's unplugged was.. interesting?

my fav is probably ben folds live

I can't believe I forgot that one, amazing.

[billcom7]

get up kids and fenix tx, those are really the only two i haven ever listened to

[over rated]

you can't go wrong with any live dave matthews cd. they sound almost exactly like the studio version except with more jamming. plus they have almost an infinity of them out.
