Frank Zappa: You Can't Do That On Stage Vol 2(?) The Helsinki Concert
Soft Machine: Live At The Paradiso/Noisette/Virtually
Caravan: Live At Fairfield Hall
Collegium Musicum: Live
(Czech CM could be called a very much tidied up Nice but employing Russian-made instruments - a challenge in itself - and considering this was recorded in 1972, what a bass solo on You Are Impossible Part 1.)
Gary Lucas: Skeleton At The Feast/Live At The Paradiso
(check out Lucas's solo versions of King Kong - aka Guerrilas In The Midst - and Autobahn on these respective albums)
Kraan: Live
Hellmut Hattler's bass playing is a joy.
Steve Hackett: Toyko Tapes
Greg Lake/Gary Moore Band: King Biscuit Flour Hour
(the Gary Moore approach to Krimson is different.....)
And slightly outside the usual scope of PA:
Miles Davis: Live At Fillmore
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac: Live At The Boston Tea Party (3CD set)
John Mayall's Bluebreakers: Diary Of A Band Vol 1 and 2
Govt Mule: Deepest End
Allman Brothers: Fillmore
And (IMHO) complete stinkers:
Neil Morse & Nick D'Virgilio: Nick 'n Neal live in Europe - Two Separate Gorillas
(available for sale..............)
RTF: Live (4 LP set)
Chicago 4 (4 LP set)

[QUOTE=Dick Heath] Kraan: Live Hellmut Hattler's bass playing is a joy. Saw them in 1977 supporting Van Der Graaf at the Roundhouse.They were fantastic.I went out the next day a bought the Andy Nogger album.

KRAAN LIVE Cripes I haven't heard that in years great bass playing
Best live outings for me would include:
Peter Hammill-Room Temperature(fabulous violin work from Stuart Gordon and just the sheer audaciousness of Hammill's workings of his 'best of..' set
Playing the Fool-Gentle Giant such awesome musical prowess!
Genesis live Great energy from THE Genesis line-up
Joni Mitchell Miles of Aisles She wrote such fantastic songs and has such a great command of the audience
and anything Van Der Graaf Generator recorded live(or for that matter anything they recorded period) there energy and experimental virtuouso is outstanding can't wait to see them do it all again!!!!!!!!!

Hey three fates what do you recon to the above comment?

I think that you both live too much in the past! ELP have not been a real band for 25 years-they only evolved for 10 years and that is why their music seems so dated.They never sustained the promise of their talent.
BTW: recon=reconnaissance
reckon= think !

I think you should get your facts straight before you make such comments. I have a new DVD by ELP from Montreux, 1997 - thats about 8 years ago, in case you can't count either... and they look and sound marvelous for a band you say hasn't been a real band in 25 years.
Get over it already... they are a great band.. they are still around... and they could very well be playing a 35th anniversary show this year... so get ready to be plagued, Reed Baby!!

Aaah Dick - you just hit on one of my favorite albums of all time, full stop; utterly sublime, and the band...... Was there ever a more stellar lineup gathered together on one stage?

Absolutely with you there - besides it holds my all time favourite jazz rock track Dry Cleaner From Des Moines - Pastorius and Brecker driving each on to greater soloing/dueting heights, astonishing. And what is so disappointing, now having the DVD of those shows, is not being able to see Pastorius & Brecker play - instead there are some major crap footage of 60's Las Vegas with them reduce to providing the soundtrack, (hopefully the archives still retains this tour de force on film).
Kraan recordings - EMI Germany have remastered/issued on CD at least the first 7 and probably more of the Kraan LPs, including that Live album - and released at mid price.

Thanks for reminding me to get
John Martyn - Live at Leeds
off the shelf and I'm now scheduled to play a track on Thursday's radio show. Apart from Martyn's great performance (I saw him once at Loughborough but I do believe the Mary Jane had made him too relaxed that night), what a tremendous rhythm section with Martyn here with Richard's dad Danny Thompson and the king of British improv jazz drums John Stevens. Lots of footage of Stevens doing improv classes in the very recent Jazz Britannia documentary. Musically the live material here exceeds the high quality studio versions of the tunes.

Absolutely The opening track,Outside In and I'd Rather be the Devil, Thompson & Stevens' interplay is stunning. but it's the build-up to Outside-In that slays me everytime.The bonus tracks with a very 'ill' Paul Kossoff on guitar are not really worth bothering about except in an historical sense.
