^ Joe Jackson is often underrated, I think. I admire his bass player, Graham Maby.

My picks:

Bob Dylan – The Bootleg Series Vol. 4, Bob Dylan Live 1966 (the electric side with The Band sans Levon)
James Brown – Love Power Peace, Live At The Olympia, Paris 1971
Miles Davis – The Cellar Door Sessions 1970
Ravi Shankar – Live: Ravi Shankar At The Monterey International Pop Festival
Curtis Mayfield – Curtis/Live!
The Velvet Underground – 1969: Velvet Underground Live with Lou Reed
Roxy Music – Viva!
Robert Wyatt – Theatre Royal Drury Lane 8th September 1974
The Rolling Stones – Get Yer Ya Yas Out!
Bob Marley and The Wailers – Live!
Rahsaan Roland Kirk – Bright Moments
Television – Live At The Old Waldorf
Tim Buckley – Dream Letter Live In London 1968
X – Live At The Whiskey a Go-Go on the Fabulous Sunset Strip
Al Green – Tokyo Live

Since most of ya haven't probably heard of Karizma.

These guys ****ing JAMMED. Wish there was more of this today. Snarkey Puppy is definitely taking it in new directions.

Fishmans - 98.12.28 男達の別れ (98.12.28 Otokotachi no Wakare)

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/al...chi-no-wakare/

^ My favorite album of all time and it's live! Been my favorite for a long time now, assuming it's been over a year since the last thread of this kind.

There's also the post-mortem LONG SEASON '96~7 96.12.26 AKASAKA BLITZ by Fishmans that is quite nice.

Phil Elverum has a lot of great live stuff, good interaction with audience and just the overall feeling Phil's music gives off translates particularly well into the live setting. I went through every single available bootleg and recording from his live performances a couple years ago and they were all really well worth the listen for me. He has released live albums under both The Microphones and Mount Eerie monikers, but I don't enjoy them as much as the fan-released ones. However, he has released one live album under Mount Eerie called "Live in Copenhagen" that is particularly great and one of my favorites. It's garnered quite the rating, so I assume that's a common opinion:

Another big live album for me is Les Rallizes dénudés - '77 Live

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/al...des/77-live-1/

Not my favorite performance from that name but a big must listen one. Absolutely essential. Most of their stuff is live, if not all of it? Just listen to their entire discography. There seems to be a lot of japanese centered psych/noise rock with that same aesthetic and I love it.

Next up is another one of my favorite albums of all time, that also happens to be live:

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/al...2%E5%AD%90/0_/

I believe it's the 22 minute track that's my favorite on that, really the whole album is beautiful. Very nice listen. The sparse complementary field recordings really add to the relaxation of the experience. It sucks me into another world. I fell asleep to it once and my dreams were just as peaceful and comfort-inducing as the music. Just lovely.

I'll include some more without words, but they're also great:

Pretty much every "Live at the BBC" and every "Peel Sessions" album by every band I like. Can't go wrong with either of those series of live albums.

I'm pretty sure you recced me one of their albums and they were good but you definitely gotta be in the mood for some fusion to like it.
