Absolutely love live albums - a list too long to mention but the funny thing is (and I am not really a fan of his) one of the best I have ever heard is Neil Diamond's 'Hot August Night'. Certainly the best musical intro to a concert I have ever heard. Some faves areGenesis - Seconds OutKansas - Two for the ShowNeil Diamond - Hot August NightJames Taylor - Live (the double CD)Jethro Tull - Bursting OutPaul Simon - Concert in the ParkS & G - The Concert in Central ParkRoxy Music -The High RoadDavid Bowie - StageBob Dylan - Live at Budokan Jean Michel Jarre - The Concerts in China (listen to 'Fishing Junks at Sunset')Pink Floyd - PulseYes - YesshowsRainbow - On StageDeep Purple - both Made in Japan and Made in Europe and the list goes on and on and on......I think because of the whole boycott thing of SA due to apartheid (there's that wonderful term again) we were not able to see many big name live acts. The only way we could experience a concert was on vinyl - funny how the moral majority still found a way to sell their product into the very same system they were publicly denouncing. Money talks. Isn't democracy wonderful.
