Best/favourite live album
Kai:
Once again, I love the Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense video. Zappa in New York, Roxy and Elsewhere, and Bongo Fury (With Captain Beefheart! YAY!) are pretty good too. And I thoroughly enjoyed Led Zeppelin's How the West was Won more than any of their actual albums. They just sound so much better live.
Empty Friend:
Portishead - roseland nyc live.
Beth Gibbons' voice is sex. The first time I heard tracks from it I had no idea it was live until people clapped at the end, I was baffled how she could sound that good live. Oh, and Sour Times from that is > Sour Times from Dummy.
Recap: Beth Gibbons = Sex.
ForteBass:
Does it have to be a live album that's actually on the market?
siobhan:

'psycho killer, qu'est que c'est'

Interesting question. Other points to ponder: is it a live album even if there's no audience (if not I nominate the Cowbody Junkies' Trinity Sessions - recorded live and without overdubs, as far as I'm aware, in a church in Toronto); and does a live album have to be of a single show (if not, then the Clash's From Here to Eternity - a seamless compilation of live songs from numerous concerts).
I'd answer these questions, except it's a Saturday and I don't think on Saturdays. Debate amongst yourselves.
