|
 | Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue (2CD) by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £24.49 / Used from: £10.45 And here is His Bobness again, a good decade later, recorded during the "Rolling Thunder Revue". Less well known, perhaps, but just as wonderful. One of the best items in Bob Dylan's catalogue

|
 | One Way Out: Live at The Beacon Theatre by The Allman Brothers Band
Buy used from: £5.99 And here is the Allman Brothers band again, more than 30 years later, but just as sharp, proving that they are much more han just an oldies act. Don't miss this one either
|
 | Live At The Fillmore by Derek & The Dominos
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £17.46 Unfortunately, Duane Allman does not appear on this live recording of Derek and the Dominos at the Fillmore, but some guy called Eric Clapton is there, and he isn't half bad either...
|

|
 | The Concert by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Buy new: £10.49 / Used from: £3.93 Good old Creedence...John Fogerty was the master of the three-minute rock n' roll single, and this little-known live album is pure enjoyment from start to finish. Wonderful, bluesy "Tombstone Shadow"!
|

|
 | Live Bootleg by Aerosmith
Buy new: £4.68 / Used from: £2.66 These nice American gentlemen have made several live albums...this is the first, and still by far the best and most authentic sounding. Tough hard rock with a wonderful "live" feel
|
 | Made in Japan by Deep Purple
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.25 Deep Purple isn't everybody's cup of tea, but if you like Purple even a little bit, this classic live album from the "let's all go to Japan and make a double album"-period is a must-have
|
 | Live In The Heart Of The City (Remastered / Expanded) (2CD) by Whitesnake

|
 | BBC Sessions by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £7.99 And get this one too...Zeppelin at their very best, hard-hitting blues and rock n' roll, and Plant could still hit all the high notes back then! Best live "Stairway to Heaven" you'll ever hear
|
