It was hard to leave "Band of Gypsies" and "The Last Waltz" out of the poll.

And when you haters are done chewing on "Frampton Comes Alive," you can move on to "Live Bullet" by Bob Seger.

As great as Springsteen is live, I don't think "Live 1975-85" comes close to capturing the magic, and "Live at Hammersmith Odeon" is missing later songs that became hallmarks of the live shows.

I voted for Live at Fillmore East, but Band of Gypsies is probably the one I listen to the most.

I haven't heard a couple in this thread, so I got something to look forward to.

Filmore East is a great one. I also have come to really like "Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall". Just Neil and his guitar and piano. Simply recorded. Nice sense of the venue space. A lot of songs that would end up on Harvest, without any "production" added on yet.

I have not heard the Dead's Live in Europe album since about 1972! Still I'm voting for it, because I can't imagine a better band live.

Even thinking of this album, though, brings me out in a cold sweat of guilt and self-loathing. At the time, a triple album (it was, and we really only had vinyl then) would have cost a substantial percentage of my then income of about UK£20 a week. My housemate had a copy. I put it down on the television. Heat and vinyl don't go well together.

My band mate... however, there's a Made in Japan and Live in Japan. I prefer the former...check out the opening by Jon Lord on Highway Star.

Deep Purple Mark II was too awesome for words  headbang

Most of all I liked the Ian Paice's drumming. Only Iron Maiden really impressed me as much as Deep Purple in the drumming department. He was exceptional as if he was jazzing out to Hard Rock and Proto Metal, fucking awesome.
