http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_the_Bassline won't help you much ;-)

I really enjoyed the first two discs of The Closing Of Winterland by The Grateful Dead in the garage last night.

[dunlop0_1]

The Who

Live at Leeds

[yusaf1]

How about Saxon - the eagle has landed, a classic!

[alan c]

Does that have the song about Kennedy shooting on it, Dallas 1pm ?? i love that.

[boris]

Alan +1. That's the album I always chose off my MP3 whenever I'm cutting the grass! Dead give away on the age front though when I say I was at the City Hall Newcastle that night when they did the recording..

[He11cat]

Any Pink Floyd
Show The Cure.

Nirvana unplugged I love.

Sounds daft but i listen to some live tracks when you get people shouting or yapping and it does my head in worse are bootlegs. Good to own but drive me mental.

[yusaf1]

No dallas 1pm on that album but sure is Biff at his best!

[Wasta]

I've just discovered Walter Trout and his album 'Live', a great blues guitarist (think Gary Moore style). Oh, 'New Race' an Ausie punk/ rock band did a one off tour and had MC5 and Stooges guitarists with them, the resulting album is 'The first and last' worth a look if you like MC5 or the Stooges sound.

[simon_g]

"NIN - And All That Could Have Been" still gets regular play.

If you like live stuff (and NIN) then the "Another Version of the Truth" live video cut together from hundreds of gigabytes of concert fan footage is worth a look. Free to download. http://nin.thisoneisonus.org/node/1

They also put together a great recording of when they played through The Downward Spiral live, again free to download.

[Wasta]

NIN, good call.

There is some good stuff in the 'You can't do that on stage anymore' series of live albums from Zappa, I'm not a big fan of the jazzy stuff but some of the guitar orientated tracks are good.

I also listened to 'On stage' by Rainbow yesterday, not listened to it for years and found them a bit lord of the rings, IYKWIM, but it's not a bad album.

Oh, Stevie Ray Vaughn has some good stuff.

[Black Bob]

If you like a bit of downtempo electronica :

Ott & The All-Seeing I - Live in Atlanta (http://ottsonic.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-terminal-west)

Think Ozric Tentacles, but on weed instead of speed.
