In my books, friend, nothing has ever come close to "Frampton Comes Alive"
by Peter Frampton ... and if I look at sales figures for that double LP
set, millions of others like(d) it as well.

Considering how much we agree (ABB and James Brown, not to mention admiting
liking Frampton Comes Alive, though I would have to include Ian Hunter's Live
album and that we are the only two people who don't like Live at Leeds),
I find it amazing that you actually like Certified Live. Definitely, my
least favorite live album ever. And probably my least favorite album by
a performer who has made some of my favorite albums (*Traffic* and *Alone
Together*). I can't imagine what about it you like. Well, isn't it amazing
how different everyone is eventually.

How about "Stages" by Triumph. Just a great live album from
start to finish. Even throws in a couple previously unreleased tunes.
Check it out: you'll be surprised.

Yah, but when I go to the swap meet, every ragged vinyl vendor
has at least one copy of FCA, along with all the Neil Diamond
and Barbra Streisand LPs.
It took me *years* to round up a copy of the Dictators' "Go
Girl Crazy"!

It's my favourite, also...but some people just can't get enough, and others
would rather enjoy the silence... :)

What have we started?
Yes, it is an excellent album; it proves that they could cut it live as
well as in the studio.
My pick -- and I'm surprised it's gone unmentioned so far -- "Peter Gabriel
Plays Live". Superb.

had a lot of punch and was recorded well.
Rod Stewart's absolutely live was good too.
I wanted to like Rush's Exit Stage left, but the sound is soooo
muddy that I can't stand it. The music's good though.

I've read a lot of the other responses and agree that there are a lot of great
albums listed, and some others I've never heard. My vote has to go to one
that I haven't seen yet:
'Alchemy' by Dire Straits
You probably don't agree.

"A Night in San Francisco" by John McLaughlin, Al Dimeola, Paco Delucia

(hope I got all the titles correct)

My favorite is "Live-Indian Summer" by Al Stewart. Listen to
"year of the Cat", especially preceded by a little monologue
called "Clarence Frogman Henry".

forever favorites:
1) Yessongs
2) USA - King Crimson
3) Between Nothingness & Eternity -- Mahavishnu Orchestra
(my sister played Frampton Comes alive so many times when it
came out that I developed a severe allergic reaction to it.)

Wow, that's exactly what I was going to write! This is a great live album
and I, too, don't consider myself a major league Seger fan.
My other favorites: (previously listed by others) J.Geils Band "Full House
Live"
(not listed by anyone yet, but perhaps the best all time Live album ever
... see if you can find a copy and you'll agree!) :
Climax Blues Band: "FM Live" about 1973, broadcast live on WNEW-FM, New
York, at the same time as the lp was being recorded.

I'd vote for King Crimson's "Great Deciever" box and "Genesis Live" (1973),
but I'll reserve judgement until Bela Fleck and the Flecktones put out
something live.

it. The only problem is that I would hesitate to say that it fits the
tastes of the people contributing to this thread based on the artists
that have thusfar been mentioned.
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
The video of this concert is cool too. Byrne starts the performance by
singing "Psycho Killer" accompanied by a boom box playing the beat tracks
and his guitar. Then, for each song, another band member is added.

: This is not necessarily my choice for best live album although I do enjoy
This gets my vote as one of the best concerts I have attended.
The show was very creative on a number of levels, from
lighting to costumes.
Other favorite live albums are by Little Feat, Bob Seger
and some of the U2 bootlegs. Another category -
favorite bootleg album.
