[zeropunk16]

Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner

Agreed.

[TheSkyline]

john mayer - any given thursday

Hell yes. And that live DVD he put out recently was amazing.

[what_ever]

DMB - Live at Central Park is fantastic

also really enjoy John Mayer - Where The Light Is

[hf57]

Hell yes. And that live DVD he put out recently was amazing.

as someone who really likes his older stuff better than his newer, i wasn't a huge fan of where the light is. the cover of free fallin' and the new song in your atmosphere still make it worth buying though.

I love that song.

Yeah I like his older stuff more too, but in general all of his music is awesome, so I still liked it.

[hf57]

I love that song.
definitely an amazing song.

yeah theres nothing really wrong with his new stuff, just can't get into it as much as the older stuff. plus i really don't like the john mayer trio so i thought that was a waste.

I'm surprised to not see any Dylan on there.

[KatieKutthroat.]

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
James Brown - Live at the Apollo
The Who - Live at Leeds.

I know all of them have been said before, but they're my favorites.

[oncedarkness]

I enjoyed Five Iron Frenzy's The End is Here quite a bit...twas their last show :(

[micahistheballs]

I'm a bit of a collector when it comes to his live sets so a bit fanatical, but no big deal.

[mattmatumbo]

mos def not btbam's colors live

[El_Jeffe]

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
James Brown - Live at the Apollo
The Who - Live at Leeds.

I know all of them have been said before, but they're my favorites.

great picks, as usual mate. i've been listening to a lot of brown lately (as well as lauryn hill, but that doesn't apply right now haha), the payback & hell especially. both albums i'd strongly recommend. but have you also heard the original version of sex machine (the album, not the greatest hits)? it has a lot of great live tunes as well. so awesome

I'm a bit of a collector when it comes to his live sets so a bit fanatical, but no big deal.

that's great, because i really do love live albums & it's appalling i don't own much live dylan. where should i start there mate?

[lenard27]

Coheed and Cambria - Live at the Starland Ballroom.
This album is better than any they have actually recorded in a studio. Especially The Light & The Glass.

[3eb23]

i really liked the ataris cd live at the metro back in high school

[3eb23]

I was there for the Where The Light Is show...amazing CD and yes In Your Atmosphere is RIDICULOUS

John Mayer - Where The Light Is

good pick

[andrewa5]

that metallica symphony orchestra album there, i forgot the name, its in my room! too lazy to go see though...lol

[micahistheballs]

that's great, because i really do love live albums & it's appalling i don't own much live dylan. where should i start there mate?
The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 is great. The electric set is epic and the acoustic set is mesmerizing.
Also, download the Folk Rogue bootleg too if you can get it as it has his Newport 65 set on it, which is just important for any serious music fan to own.
Let me know what you think.

I actually have heard Sex Machine. I don't have it but I've listened to it. Is that album all live or are some studio recordings?

i'll have a look for vol. 4 next time i'm in the cd store (which will be november 7th, why? tim finn's new album!). you're someone on ap who's reccs i take a keen interest in, so i'll definitely let ya know

I actually have heard Sex Machine. I don't have it but I've listened to it. Is that album all live or are some studio recordings?

half n half. the first half are studio recording that sometimes have live audience overdubed for some reason haha. but it still sounds great, the second half is two different live recordings

[Jumpoff]

I forgot to mention Roseland NYC Live by Portishead. I actually think I like their full orchestra sound more than their studio albums.

[Jackfrost50]

If you're into that kind of music, Shawn McDonald's Live In Seattle murders anything he's ever recorded in studios.

Jeremy Camp's Unplugged album is great too.

And best individual live song goes to Everlong on the Howard Stern Show.

[rexys425]

Mayer's "Where The Light Is"/any live Mayer albums
and this isn't really an album, but I found a full set recording of Jesse Lacey acoustic from this place called the Downtown in Long Island from around 4 or 5 years ago....I might be bias because I was there, but i listen to it at least once a week

[Broden Terry]

Jackson Browne - Live Solo Acoustic Volumes 1 and 2
Both are amazing listens.
