... 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)

I love live recordings. I've got a lot of them, including Classics like - Frampton Comes Alive and The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East.

In addition to those classics, here are some that I play fairly often:

Eva Cassidy - Live at Blues Alley (great sound and performance)
Patricia Barber - Companion (great sound and performance)
The Jayhawks - Live at the Women's Club Vol. 1&2 (especially Vol. 2)
Bodeans - Joe Dirt Car (Would like to have seen this show)
Indigo Girls - 2000 Curfews (Saw them several times during this period)
Steve Farrone's Farm Fur - More Head (One of the great drummers)
Hiram Bullock Band - Manny's Car Wash (Great Bar Band)
The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live (Late '70's fun!)

And one of my favorite CD's of all time is:

Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez - Live From The Ruhr Triennale. Simply Outstanding.
