The Allman Brothers band. Live at Fillmore East has been called the greatest live album ever by some critics.

A lot of people will get confused if you just refer to me as 'Neckie'.

And I don't listen to Kiss anymore..

Its always been regarded as one the best and most essential of all live albums, especially with its free flowing jams.

I'll have to go back and say that the rock n roll of the '50s may have been the most influential, as far as the live performance.

While The Who and other such bands definitely brought about the more "rock and roll" aspects, this ultimately wouldn't have occurred without the mainstream success of acts of the 1950s who did those, at the time, inappropriate dances and such on the stage.
