Default Favourite Live Albums
Let's try to address this idea people seem to have that I don't like live albums. Some of my favourites, in no particular order:

Live after Death (Iron Maiden)
No Sleep Till Hammersmith (Motorhead)
Paris (Supertramp)
Seconds Out (Genesis)
Nine Tonight (Bob Seger)
Live Evil (Black Sabbath)
Road Noise (Judie Tzuke)
Breakfast in Biarritz (Arena)
Ending on a High Note (a-ha)
Three Sides Live (Genesis)
Alchemy (Dire Straits)
Live and Dangerous (Thin Lizzy)
Irish Tour '74 (Rory Gallagher)
In the Flesh (Roger Waters)
All the World's a Stage (Rush)
Highway Song (Blackfoot)

I'm sure there are others but that's all that comes to mind right now.

I don't really listen to live albums all that much. But a few of my favorites would be...

Colors Live - Between the Buried and Me
Celestial Rhythms NYC LIVE '85 - Jonn Serrie, Geodesium, Barry Hayes
Exit... Stage Left - Rush

I absolutely hate Frampton Comes Alive. Not because it's poor music, but because I can't go into any record stores near me without finding 12 copies of Frampton Comes Alive for every 1 Humble Pie album.

My favorite live album is probably Grand Funk Railroad's Caught In the Act. Such a blast front to back, fantastic production, fantastic set arrangement, super high energy, and the crowd absolutely loves it.



Also a big fan of Gary Clark Jr.'s LIVE album. Great sound, great improvisation throughout, great set list. Unfortunately when I saw Gary live in Vancouver it wasn't quite as exciting, seemed like an off night for the band (missing a member too), but the performances on this album are fantastic. There are live videos for most of the tracks too.

My all time favorite live albums is the Allman Brothers Band - Live At Fillmore East. I'm not even a big fan of their studio output, but damn that is one fine live album.

You could make a whole thread about the best live Coltrane albums. Not counting Om or Meditations, New Thing at Newport is my favourite live album of his. The Archie Shepp side is just icing on the cake too.

Also, Tom Waits' best live album/film is coincidentally his best album (and film, I guess).
