... Best Live Recordings ( other than Classical or Opera) on CD...

Hello to all...

I luv testing stereo equipment - and I think one of the best ways to tell just how resolving a recording is IF IT WAS RECORDED LIVE! ( not only how the music sounds, but how the ambience of the venue sounds, and if the clapping/hooting that happens sounds really real...)

What are your favorites? Please send suggestions... ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE DDD.

I'll start with one of my Favorites:
STOP MAKING SENSE: Talking Heads ( done DDD in the late 80's, remaster/reissued late 1999)

For new fans of Cream, their Wheels of Fire double album sounds just as they did when I saw them in ’67 and ’68. A couple more of my favorite live albums are The Ventures On Stage (’65) and The Live Kinks (’67). The Kinks are just about the most fun live group I’ve ever seen (and one of the loudest I’ve ever heard. Ray’s Telecaster into a Hi-Watt stack is the most piercing sound I’ve ever had to endure!), along with NRBQ. Hey, another great live album! They have a few, but get one with Al Anderson still in the band.
