Okay, if single-disc albums are eligible:

- Ry Cooder: Show Time.

- Randy Newman: Live.

- Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks: Striking It Rich. Fantastic!

- Martin Mull And His Fabulous Furniture: In Your Living Room.

- Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen: Live From Deep In The Heart Of Texas.

You are absolutely correct about that Earth, Wind & Fire "Alive In '75" record.  I've been on an R&B kick lately and streamed that album the other night.  Lightning in a bottle....that crowd definitely got their money's worth!

Thanks @danoroo !

I saw EWF live a couple of times, and they seemed to invariably put on terrific shows. But of course groups do tend to step it up when a performance is being recorded for an album, and they were certainly in a real groove that night in '75.

@bdp24:

RE: Dan Hicks, are you sure "Striking It Rich" is live?

"Where's the Money" is live, for sure.
