That would be " Home, Home On The Road" - Buddy Cage shines on pedal
Steel.
Also, someone mentioned in this thread The Allman Brothers "Live at the
Fillmore East". There was a re-release of this which includes the live version
of Mountain Jam from Eat a Peach. It's called " The Fillmore Concerts". They
did an excellent job re-mastering . If you haven't heard these in a while,
check it out. - Bob

I can't swear that every cut on these albums is live--though some definitely
are--but you might enjoy John Lee Hooker's "In Person" on the Dynasty label
(an offshoot of VeeJay?), and Muddy Waters' "Fathers and Sons." The Hooker
LP is among his best--it's the real, raw, uncut, rollin' with it thing.
And, being partial to NRBQ (I think Terry Adams is one of rock's few
legitimate geniuses, though I know others find him intolerable), I like
their live records--"God Bless Us All," and "Diggin' Uncle Q." Big Al
Anderson is easily a peer of Jerry's, both in girth and soulful chops. And
Joey Spampinato's as out there communing with the gods as Bobby Ace--both
have inimitable gifts for swinging in time.
The Neville Brothers' "Neville-ization," is nice, though not the best they
can play.
Wasn't Cream's "Wheels of Fire" live? That's hellacious--Clapton's solo on
Crossroads is absolutely astonishing. You could put that solo, along with
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter's solo on Boddhisatva, from Steely Dan's "Countdown to
Ecstasy," on any list of the greatest guitar solos ever.
How about Tom Wait's "Nighthawks at the Diner" LP?--What a treat! "An
inebriated good evening, and welcome to Raphael's Silver Cloud Lounge..."
And for you fans of the obscure, how many folks have Root Boy Slim and the
Sex Change Band's "Live at the Warner Theater" radio broadcast from 1978,
featuring You Broke My Mood Ring, and Boogie Til You Puke? Not an LP, but
heck, he's worth a mention.
There, that adds up to around two cents' worth,

_ExtraTerrestial Live_ by Blue Oyster Cult
Is that eclectic enough 4 ya?

time ----
Butthole Surfers _Double Live_.
I've got a vinyl copy, but I wish it were still available on CD. These
guys are (or used ot be, at least) incredible live! I would say they had
a power comparable to the Dead's, but in a more evil fashion. I remember
walking away from a Butthole Surfers show with my jaw clenched shutm just
like I had been tripping hard, even though I was stone cold sober! At one
point in my first Butthole Surfers show I remember thinking "Man, I wish
I were tripping for this, cause it would be way intense!" only to think
later, "Man I'm glad I'm not tripping for this, cause it would be way too
intense!"

I wish I'd written that!!!
Definately one of the greatest live albums of all time. That
Lagrima->Tomorrow Never Knows that opens side 1 is worth the price of
the album. Many great cuts on that. I keep hoping that they'll dig up a
few more feet of tape somewhere and issue and expanded and remastered
version (though the original is just fine).

It is a great record. Does anyone out there remember the name of an
awesome live album that's half Brian Eno and half Kevin Ayers? With I
believe Mike Oldfield playing guitar for KA? And I believe a couple of
John Cale songs too (yeah: Heartbreak Hotel)
I wonder if any of Kevin Ayer's stuff made it to cd; I never heard an
album of his I didn't like a *lot*. But I haven't heard one in a few
years since ditching the old faithful turntable...
Adrian
And I like Roxy Music's "High Road" as a live album too!
Mitch Gilbert
And let's not forget:
The Oscar Peterson Trio - Live at the Blue Note
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Live at Montreaux
The Penguin Cafe Orchestra - Live at the Penguin Cafe
and on a different note:
Hot Tuna - Double Dose - why don't they re-release this on on CD???????

I haven't seen a copy of that video since tapes started being sold in
Hi-Fi. That is an inspirational video. I wouldn't mind seeing copies of
the King Crimson live video (The Noise) that was shot when KC was
opening for Roxy in Frejus. That just doesn't exist anymore.

I'm sure this has been mentioned but for my money Little Feat's "Waiting
for Columbus" is not only the best live non-dead disc but *the best* live
disc ever. I just can't think of anything else that really touches the
live experience.
Dean Nicholas
offering "Waiting For Columbus." In my opinion, one of the best live
albums EVER!
Dean
Craig Schilling
The Meters "Live on the Queen Mary"
and of course,
Allman Bros. "Live at the Fillmore East"
Richard Wasserman
:
: BB King : Live at the Apollo
B.B. King "Live at the Regal" is even better, IMHO.
In the blues vein, I would add Joe Louis Walker "Live at Slim's" volume 1.

_June 1st, 1974_. It took me long enough to find the record; I never
expect to see it on CD.

I've seen several as imports, including _Flying Doesn't Help_.

Isn't the CD _Heart Still Beating_ all of _High Road_ plus more
from the same show?
-Brian - who's backing up all of his Roxy/Eno from LP to DAT
as he writes this.
ps - sorry for the lack of Dead content...

Essential live album... Almann Bro's at the <damn, I can't remember the name> Garage.
Cincinnati, OH...
Jeff Perry
AB's "Fillmore East" go w/out saying. I'd have a hard time w/out
my old "How Late'll Ya Play Til" David Bromerg Album or Tom
Waits' "NightHawks" Albums. Throw in Young's "ARC " AND "WELD"
and I could get by.
Thanks to whoever mentioned "801 Live"...I ran and dug that out of
the garage and had a happy listen.

Definitely.

Also, I'd add Muddy Waters Live At Mr. Kelly's (ca. 1969).
