Hi,

As much as I like Magma, my favorite of the live 70's albums are a different bag ....

The Allman Brothers Band - Live At Fillmore East

Mad Dogs & Englishmen

Hawkwind - Space Ritual

AD2 - Live in London ... absolutely outstanding live album.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Your favourite live albums, one per decade covering as many or as few decades as you like. And you can make multiple lists.

I just quickly threw together a list of some of my favourite live album per decade. The years in parentheses in my list shows the release year, but I think they are pretty close to the year they were recorded. Magma's Rétrospectives were recorded from concerts in 1980.

This is my list. I did back to the 1960s.

1960s: Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails (1969)
1970s: Magma - Live (1975)
1980s: Magma - Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2 (1981)
1990s: Portishead - Roseland NYC Live (1998)
2000s: Björk - Homogenic Live (2004)
2010s: Swans - Deliquescence (2017)
2020s: Anna von Hausswolff - Live at Montreux Jazz Festival (2022)

A fave of mine not listed is Swans' Omniscience from 1990, and I was tempted to have a third Magma from the 2000s, Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogie. Portishead is one that has done several, I think, great live concerts but did not put them to album (I think they should have released various 2008 plus concerts as Third has great material).

You can cover as many or few decades as you like. What is your list?

These links might help to refresh your memory:

https://rateyourmusic.com/charts/top/album/2020s/only:live/

With the PA chart I set it to the 2020s years, but of course you can filter the years. The easiest way to change the decade with the rateyourmusic chart is manually with the url. Say change the 2020s part to 1970s etc.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.
