Best Live CD Release All Bands

Since we have to wait a week to get Bonnaroo I thought I would throw this question out to all posters. What do you think is the best live official release ever of any band?

I'll get this started by voting for Dave Matthews Band Red Rocks. That is a sweet album that holds up over time. Second would be Nirvana Unplugged.

Summerfest 95
Alpine Valley 98
Pepsi Center 03

    All great live albums so far. Really great.

    does'nt matter if it's the original or deluxe version w/ Tommy, LAL is the best live album anywhere by any any artist

    Allman's live at the Fillmore is a classic through & through, I do not deny this.

    Duane Allman & Dickey Betts playing on that album is hotter than the devil's shit on the surface of the dark sun.

    Def in the Top 10 alltime live albums, if not Top 5!!

    It wasn't officially released, but the boot of Kings of Leon's show from Berlin last year is unreal.

    I'll also vote for PJ State College '03, MMJ Okonokos, Allmans Fillmore East, and Ben Harper Live from Mars.

    Hands down..........Rolling Stones "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out"

    Some "also rans" that are kick ass in their own ways that nobody has said yet;

    Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense"
    Social Distortion: "Live at the Roxy"
    Black Crowes and Jimi Page "Live at the Greek"

    I can concur with MANY of the already stated albums as well.

    Why does it have to be c.d?
    The best live album of all time was released before c.d's were invented.

    It's 'It's Alive' by The Ramones.

    To be honest, even though I'd say that 'It's Alive' is the best live album of all time, I still got more of a kick out of listening to live bootlegs years ago. I used to get a buzz from listening to scratchy recordings made with a crappy casette recorder where you could hear people talking next to the bootlegger. I used to buy these cassettes at Camden market on a Sunday - Janes Addiction, The Cure, Fields Of The Nephilim, e.t.c.


    Also, another good live 'studio' album is Bauhaus' 'Press the eject and give me the tape'.

    I have a love/hate relationship with that album. The backing band is cheesy as hell, but Bowie's vocals send shivers down my spine. "Sweet Thing" is sublime.

    Central Park 2003
    Piedmont Park '97

    And since I pretty much represent FNM here
    I would say You Fat B##STARDS! Which is a DVD now.
