    I got to see this concert one night by accident and I must say this the BEST sounding Metallica concert I've ever heard. James vocals were at it's best and they were all in sinc throughout the entire show. Also the venue was spectacular down in southern France, the fans were one the liveliest as well.

    Pearl Jam - Live at Benaroyal Hall
    Pearl Jam - Live at TMR

    Uncle Tupelo - Live at Lounge Ax
    Jack White - Live at TMR
    Muddy Waters - Folk Festival of the Blues 
    The Gun Club - Miami (RE disc 2)

    Honourable Mentions:
    NOFX - I Hear They Suck Live!!
    SNFU - The Last of the Big Time Suspenders
    Ozzy Osbourne - Live and Loud
    Rush - Exit, Stage Left


    All the PJ bootlegs are great but I went with my top 20 on wax. Once the Moline vault is on my turntable it will certainly make the list (top 5). It will be the only live album on vinyl in which I was in the audience. I know a lot of people were critical of that vault choice... but I love it. Can’t wait.  
    I don’t have any of the honourable mentions on wax (yet).

    I miss the days of the double-live album....many of the late 70s/early 80s metal bands released some killer live shows!

    There's a dvd to this concert in Montreal Canada and I must say it’s almost as good as Live from Mars.

    Speaking of live concerts and bands. I just happened to come across U2 live performance of BAD at Live Aid.  What an amazing performance of the 🎵 song, to me its legendary.  So was Queen's performance as well.

    I love that song. There whole Live Aid performance was epic. I just saw Bono for his book tour and he made fun of his amazing mullet he had at Live Aid.

    Tough to categorize "live albums" because there are bands like Pearl Jam and Wilco that release a ton of shows officially; others have released shows for free as MP3s but they weren't official albums for sale on CD; and now there are official pro-shot live performances archived on youtube. Excluding many from those categories, and adding to albums listed above, here's a few more: Richard Thompson - Small Town Romance Grateful Dead - Without a Net The Who - Young Vic 1971 (Who's Next re-release bonus disc) The Kinks - To The Bone Nirvana - MTV Unplugged Soul Asylum - Welcome to the Minority live disc

    The Spring Standards - Live From Delaware
    Drive-By Truckers - Live From Austin, TX
    Drive-By Truckers - It's Great To be Alive
    Dire Straits - On The Night
    Pink Floyd - Ummagumma (Live disc)
    Pete Townshend - Deep End Live

    Soul Asylum - Live at Palais Royale - This sit-down-but-not-totally acoustic gig was never released commercially but the full show is up on youtube. I enjoy it a little more than their MTV Unplugged show.

    2 pages of posts from 2016 -2023 and only one mention of pearl jam at benaroya hall.

    Good evidence that this doesn't need a vinyl reissue.

    Was pretty impressed with Coma Divine by Porcupine Tree and Wildflowers Live from Tom Petty.

    Pacifier (Shihad) Live is also really good.

    Love the Foos Skin And Bones DVD too.

    Does Salival by Tool count? The Live tracks in that are gargantuan.
