 | Live at Geneva by Wishbone Ash
Buy used from: £16.92 A powerful line-up of the Ash storm through a strong set-list
|
 | Live Dates by Wishbone Ash
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.42 The classic Wishbone Ash live album although in my opnion not as good as Live Dates II. Unfortunately that album has never been released on CD
|
 | At Fillmore East (Deluxe Edition) by The Allman Brothers Band
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £10.00 Unbelievably brilliant - quite possibly the best album ever ever ever. You may not want a 33 minute version of Mountain Jam but get the expanded version anyway if only for the liner notes
|
 | Irish Tour by Rory Gallagher
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.51 Searing blues guitar. Warning - if you buy this album you WILL buy more albums by this genius
|
 | One More From The Road - Deluxe Edition by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.49 Fabulous playing - all the best tracks with superb sound. The band at its very best
|
 | Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £2.95 Who cares if this has more overdubs than Bohemian Rhapsody - this is an Essential live album
|
 | Strangers in the Night by UFO
Buy used from: £5.48 One name - Michael Schenker. The best heavy rock live album in the world - EVER!
|
 | Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends by Lake & Palmer Emerson
Buy used from: £3.95 The technique and musicianship is outstanding bringing studio versions to life. Listen out for Aquatarkus - worth the price for this alone
|
 | Pictures At An Exhibition by Lake & Palmer Emerson
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £4.13 An entire classical music piece reinterpreted by the prog masters. Weird yet compelling with great shades of light and dark
|
 | Extraterrestrial Live by Blue Öyster Cult
Buy used from: £6.79 Possibly not a die-hard BOC fan's favourite but the best overview of their first 10 or so years. Veteran of the Psychic Wars is stunning
|
 | Live Rust by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Buy new: £6.28 / Used from: £2.88 This albums got the lot - a tight rhythm section, soft acoustic ballads, great guitar work, classic songs, stomping electric boogie, and grunge before grunge was invented
|
 | Night Watch by King Crimson
Buy used from: £17.45 The best KC line-up at their improvistic and live best - taking themes and improvising on them live on stage - simply stunning and a must have album
|
 | Days of Speed by Paul Weller
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £0.97 A run-through of his best solo material with the odd Jam and Style Council track thrown in, performed live and acoustic. Fabulous re-interpretations of classic songs
|
 | 12 Gardens Live by Billy Joel
Buy new: £12.78 / Used from: £3.80 Great performances of greatest hits plus more. Yes there are one or two dodgy moments but wonderful delivery and fabulous band compliment some outstanding tunes (Zanzibar, Allentown etc)
|
 | Live Tapes by Barclay James Harvest
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £8.50 A derided and underrated band deliver a live masterpiece whose tracks easily transcend their studio versions. Okay it may be verging on Moody Blues territory, but this is great music
|
 | Seconds Out by Genesis
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.94 Missing the quirkiness of Gabriel's delivery, but nevertheless a fabulous run through their back catalogue before Collins sold them down the river. Sound quality and musicianship of highest quality
|
 | Live by Genesis
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £1.82 If you like the Gabriel era Genesis, this is the album to have with amazing versions some of their best tracks. Listen to The Knife and see how far they had developed the track since its 1st release
|
 | Real To Reel by Marillion
Fish is an charismatic frontman and this comes through strongly here. A much better album than Thieving Magpie which lacks soul. This is Marillion at their early best
|
 | If You Want Blood, You've Got It by AC/DC
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.09 Riffs, riffs and more riffs (and some raffs as well!). Such power exploding from the speakers - this line-up must have been awesome - get a taste with this album if only for Whole Lotta Rosie
|
 | Live After Death by Iron Maiden
Buy new: £12.97 / Used from: £7.84 Heavy metal classics played live and loud. Even if Bruce is an acquired taste, this album should be in your collection if you like barnstorming guitar work and full on performances
|
 | Moonflower by Santana
Buy used from: £3.85 Okay so it is only partly a live album but Carlos has to be in any list as he is the master on guitar and this is the only album of his where he truly shines on classic numbers (forget Lotus)
|
 | Live Evil by Black Sabbath
Buy new: £6.97 / Used from: £4.00 Being a fan of Dio but not Ozzy, I was intrigued by this incarnation of Sabbath. Probably sacrilege to diehard fans but this album is awesome. Sorry but the poison dwarf takes the songs to new heights
|
 | Rockin' Down the Highway: The Wildlife Concert by The Doobie Brothers
Buy new: £23.99 / Used from: £5.50 If you like live albums and the Doobies buy this album. All key Doobies are there, including Johnson and McDonald and they do lively versions of their best work
|

An excellent addition to the Allman Brothers catalogue with a fabulous acoustic reworking of the classic Elizabeth Reed and the best live version of Jessica I've heard
|
 | MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.42 This album shows that Nirvana weren't just about noise and distortion. The songs lose none of their power - oh and buy it for their cover of Bowie's Man Who Sold The World

Listmania!
