As mentioned earlier I voted for UFO but I don't think anyone has mentioned Tokyo Tapes by Scorpions.

Out of this list, Made in Japan, The Song Remains the Same and Live Rust are particular favourites. Besides Live at Fillmore East, however, there is another glaring omission (at least to my eyes): Blue Oyster Cult's first live album, the magnificent On Your Feet and On Your Knees.

From this list, I'll go with the Hawks. Other than the listed albums, I think my pick would be Coltrane's Live in Seattle. If that doesn't count because it wasn't recorded in the 70s, I will go with one of Miles Davis' albums.

I rarely listen to live albums.  In fact, I think Fillmore East is the only one I've ever bought.  And it ended up being the only album I've sold off!  Honestly can't recall exactly what it was about it I didn't like.

Oh, and where is Frampton Comes Alive?  One of the best selling live albums of all time should certainly be part of this poll.  (No, I don't own it.)

To everyone endlessly ripping why I chose this and didn't choose that album...why don't you stop whining like little petulant children in a sandbox and go make your own freaking poll?

I have 11 titles from this list - but I love KRAAN - Live '75 and GURU GURU - Live (which came out in '78) coz they are super-special.

Bursting Out is close but TSRtS is just too good.   Maybe the greatest live rock recording ever.

I guess Band of Gypsys just missed qualifying by a few hours.

I'm sorry, but I just don't think the live album The Song Remains the Same is very good; in fact, it's damn sloppy, particularly Page's half-stoned leads. I much prefer the more recent release How the West Was Won. Much higher level of playing and better song selection.

^ Of course it was damn sloppy, whether he was stoned or not (and why wouldn't he be), that's what we love about that album and good old 'Stumblefingers' himself.   Page's approach was crucial to what they were trying to do ~ recreating authentic hard blues for a white audience ~ and essential to their sound, whether live or in the studio.   His rough style was no accident.   And lest we forget he was the top studio session man in London for several years before he formed the New Yardbirds, a gig you don't get through incompetence.

Voted for Zappa, but would was hoping "Gong Live. Etc." made the list! Maybe the unreleased track and the Radio sessions disqualified it.

Yep.  My group of friends all knew he could be a "sloppy" player but we loved his stuff way more than the "refined and perfect" Gods Beck and Clapton, to name the two he oft mentioned with.  Stumblefingers made us feel the music in such a personal way and he just rocked those others off the stage.  Although to be fair, the other guys didn't get to play with John and JP, which helped enormously.
