I need a live great recording


I've come to realize that there's no better way to hear what your system is capable of than a LIVE RECORDING.

I need your help.

Suggestions for 'live recordings' on cd that can really expose a system's strengths and weaknesses.

Harder to find, but on a par IMHO with the classic Evans/La Faro Village Vanguard Sessions/Sunday at the Village Vanguard is Bill Evans at Town Hall w/Chuck Israels and Arnold Wise and recorded on February 21, 1966 (UMV 2053). Verve released the LP as "Volumn One" but never released a "Volumn Two" -- presumably because there wasn't enough material. However, Verve did release two of the three unreleased tracks -- Beautiful Love and My Foolish Heart -- on a compilation LP called Masters of the Modern Piano (VE-2-2511). The CD includes these two tracks and the third unreleased number: One For Helen. The CD is OK, but not as stunning as the vinyl. Happy hunting.
