I've got most of his studio albums and I've never even heard that. Guess I should check it out...

This album is incredible. It's a perfect blend of topical songs and more subtle folk tracks. The highlights are versions of Poe's "The Bells" and Alfred Noyes' "The Highwayman" set to music.

All of Van Zandt's studio albums are marred by poor production, limp performances, or uninspired song selections. This one tops them all, and it even has the edge over the legendary Live At The Old Quarter, by virtue of a quicker pace (no annoying jokes here!) and an incredible backing band.

Spiral Scratch is still their best work, but this easily tops Singles Going Steady.

I'll throw in the Sex Pistols' Burton-On-Trent gig if we're counting that as an official live album.

There's no doubt that that this a great song, and a great live performance. But the album as a whole isn't as solid as Axis: Bold As Love.

Gonna have to go ahead and nod to that Allman Brothers pick

Excellent choice

Zombeels · 11-02-2008, 06:28 PM

Allman Brothers gets even another nod. You could also add Eat A Peach

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
