Loud and Live

I had some friends over last weekend (old highschool friends) and they wanted me to rock out with something loud and live. My choice was; Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes Live at the Creek, #4, What Is And What Sould Never Be. I know we're old farts but would love to here what other audiogoners would chose.

George Thorogood and the Destroyers have a "live" CD that is dyno-supreme. I think it was from a performance in Atlanta or St. Louis. GT and band ROCK, and their music is sort of a through back to the best of 50s-60s R&R. If GT is a dinosaur, he's a T-REX, IMO. "The Anthology", a 2 CD set, also ROCKS and is LOUD. Great music and no weak tracks on this set. Cheers. Craig

I always turn to Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal. The great twin guitars leading off. What a great album!!

Aside from most classic live recordings sounding somewhat inferior by todays recording standards, my faves are:

Thin Lizzy -Live and Dangerous
Scorpions -Tokyo Tapes
Pat Travers -Go for What you Know

I typically prefer digital but for old live recordings, it's got to be vinyl...
