Fishmans, which has the number one live in my list, is now in PA and I wrote an extemporaneous review, which is not dissimilar to how I post to be honest. I like informality. I should have put Portishead in second place.
Bumping this for those that wish to highlight more than classic era albums -- that being what Jared's recent topic is focused on. |

IMO, King Crimson's Live in Chicago is the best prog album I've ever heard. You get a diversified look at all their major eras and some key live tracks written for concerts, like Radical Action II. And I don't think anyone saw the Bowie cover coming. Absent Lovers is another flawless live concert by them. I honestly really prefer them live before the studio, even though their studio works are incredible.

I'm listening to that King Crimson as I speak for the first time. Today has been so much Sufjan Stevens and Fishmans that it is hard to adjust to something that is not either of them. Plenty of diversity in that KC from 2017. For those that don't know, if any here. Fripp played Guitar on Bowie's "Heroes", collaborated on the original song (thanks to Eno), and Scary Monsters, but also that there was a Fripp estate dispute with Bowie's estate over Fripp's crediting on the album "Heroes". I love the song "Heroes". I would post the KC version here but I don't want to get sued. LOL.
Ah, fridge it. Here's the one from Berlin in 2016. Here is David Byrne's, who also collaborated with Eno, cover with choir that I like a lot. It's one of my favourite songs. |

Besides the usual from me, Danny Gatton's Redneck Jazz Explosion, recorded at the Cellar Door, Washington DC in 1978 and released in 1995 has always been one of my favorite live albums. The cover with a Hydrogen Bomb explosion sums up that live performance. Gatton absolutely shreds on his Telecaster.
When your admirers are a diverse group of guitar players such as Steve Vai, Lenny Breau, Trey Anastasio, Les Paul, Albert Lee, Vince Gill, Slash, James Burton, Buckethead and Joe Bonamassa you know you have the goods. Another one who left us to soon. Edited by Big Sky - March 05 2025 at 21:40 |

I have updated my post from Page 1 into something a little more considered for Greg's thread, so I will re-post it here...

In this day and age, if you don't see a band you can find live material on the internet. Back in the 70s, live albums were a thing of wonder. For me, Henry Cow 'Concerts' provided a rare glimpse of their live improvisations (I know, not everyone's cup of tea) but along with 'Welcome Back My Friends', 'Genesis Live' and 'Yessongs' they were to be treasured. For instance, from the above 'Tarkus' is outstanding, as is 'The Knife' and the final side of 'Yessongs' and, of course, 'Ruins'.

Hi,
Hawkwind - Space Ritual (released 1975) Grobschnitt - Solar Music: Live (released 1978) Live at The Carnegie Hall - Renaisance Man - Back Into the Future (the live LP with C'mon and the choir) Caravan - And the Neu Sinfonia Zappa & Mothers - Roixy & Elsewhere Lana Lane & The Rocket Scientists - Live in SF 1999 (unreleased album) Barclay James Harvest - Live 1974 (double album) Amon Duul 2 - Live in London Return To Forever - The Mothership Returns PFM - Cook Rachel Flowers - Piano version of TARKUS Hard to decide, as I did see PF 4 times, and TD 4 times and I can not even decide on anything from those ... though the Hollywood Bowl 1972 PF on Quad is the one I remember the best though I can not tell you how good a show it was, though many of the bootlegs around the time suggest that the shows were about the same. TD was another story as for a long time they could not do on stage what they had created, and the bootlegs pretty much showed how different TD was, and in many ways excellent live. But I don't think it is fair to say that none of the great shows with the ladies was crap ... there was some far out stuff out there, up to and including Edgar thrashing a piano ... that ought to get a few ladies in the concert hall worried about the priceless piano! Music? What music? Honorable mention will go to PT, for the show in 1999 in SF ... Richard's Prophet 5 took a spill at the airport and they could not fix it, and Richard was backstage with 2 to 3 bands playing while he programmed other keyboards borrowed. The show, for my ears sounded great, though some roadie was upset it was crap, until Sean and I told the idiot to leave the theater ... I had never heard PT before, and even with a Prophet 5 missing, in my book, they sounded really good. When one wants to take quality and talent, Richard, right there, took the cake and then some!

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