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 Wink

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.

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" Wink

I think I'll have to go for Deep Purple but I own 16 of those albums and it was up against some stiff competition.

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...

From the list Made In Japan easily.

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.

Never heard of that edition, "Absolutely Live" was the first vinyl I bought and I spun it many times Smile 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 Thumbs Up
