In the 70's the "double live album" turned into an art form and seemed to be everywhere. No major rock act was complete without issuing one of these 2 vinyl disc sets...so...here is a wide ranging list of 70's double lives to choose from...some prog, some not...vote for all your favorites and tell us, if you had to choose just 1, which would it be. Note, this poll is for albums originally released on 2 vinyl lp's, so triple live's like Yessongs, Welcome Back My Friends, etc are not included in this poll

No surprises I have to take Zepp from these choices. Neil Young the honorable mention. |

the allman's Fillmore album is a curious omission since many rate it as the greatest live album ever done, especially if limited to rock. of the choices. DOUBLE LIVE GONZO  ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Isn't that live album from Doors called "Absolutely Live"? I only heard seven of these... I never heard Space Ritual  |

Oops, you're right. The original vinyl release was "Absolutely Live"...they later repackaged it to include "Alive She Cried" and renamed it "In Concert" ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Yeah, I thought the same thing about the Allman Bros. Of those listed, I'd have to say Made in Japan, then Seconds Out, Live Rust and Bursting Out. Others to consider, off hand on a Saturday morning: Procol Harum Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (Are you kidding me? This ain't on the list?) J. Geils - Live: Full House (with one of the greatest harp tunes of all time - "Whammer Jammer") Ten Years After - Recorded Live 1973 (the best versions of "I'm Going Home", "Choo-Choo Mama", "I Can't Keep from Crying" and "Help Me") Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live (This should have a warning not to use combustible material while playing the album) Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour '74 (Because it's Rory F*cking Gallagher, that's why!) Foghat - Live (Yes, only one damn album. The other melted during manufacturing) ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Made In Japan, Double Live Gonzo and Uriah Heep Live from this list. But my favourite is easily, like others have mentioned, At Fillmore East. My favourites that haven't been mentioned, though, are Lynyrd Skynyrd's One More From The Road the Outlaws' legendary Bring It Back Alive. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

 So I voted for that one, "Made In Japan" and "A Live Record".By the way, I'd like to mention Traffic's "On The Road" that I recently acquired, it's a great double album |

| 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. ------------- "Hey there, Dog Man, now I drink from your bowl." |

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.) ------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

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. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

^ 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. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

| 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. |
