Originally posted by canuckloverI have a limited edition LP of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble Live at the El Mocambo in Toronto. It was supposed to be just for record company execs etc and has never had widespread commercial release (I found it in a used record store a few years ago). It shows Stevie at the height of his powers before the heroin problems kicked in and absolutely blows away the Live Alive album which was widely released.
I miss Stevie...

You can get SRV 'Live at the El Mocambo' on DVD or on VHS. Also, his Austin City Limits live stuff is really good, but nothing matches the ferocity or energy of the El Mocambo stuff (which was taped in 1983, if memory serves).
The Pogues..."Streams of Whiskey", Patti Smith..."In Heat from DC to London", Radiohead..."I Might Be Wrong" and an oldie but goodie...The Allman Brothers..."Live from the Filmore East".

'But if one is struck by me only a little, that is far different, the stroke is a sharp thing and suddenly lays him lifeless, and that man's wife goes with cheeks torn in lamentation, and his children are fatherless, while he, staining the soil with his red blood, rots away, and there are more birds than women swarming about him.' Diomedes, The Iliad of Homer
Vastly underrated double live album. Has all the songs that matter.
As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless, uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?
"Atari Teenage Riot live in Philadelphia" came packaged with the 60 second wipeout album for a while and it Kicks ASS!! Also worth mentioning is "Smell of Female" by the Cramps and "Evillive" by the Misfits.
" Seeing these wrestling managers walking around with their big guts or their big breasts or their big mouths gave us hop that someday, we too could be part of the show, even if we weren't 6'5" with expletives tattooed on the back of our necks. Plus, anyone getting paid thousands of dollars to stand around in neon suits yelling 'KILL HIM!' towards the ring was certainly a profession to look forward to." http://www.x-entertainment.com/messages/559.html
Would Nirvana: From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah count (a collection of songs from live performances)?
I always LOVED Nirvana's live performance sound. It's why I was never a huge fan of Nevermind. Sure, the album's great. But it sounds way to "studio perfected". To get the full sense of Nirvana, you HAVE to hear a live performance of theirs. That's the REAL Nirvana!

A reason why the Outcesticide bootlegs are great to have. I think there is probably 6 of them, with the first one being the best.
No one else mention B.B. King's Live at the Regal, which saddens me a bit, but I understand.
