Tower of power live is amazing if soul is your thing

I'd find it difficult to choose between The Song Remains The Same by Zep, Seconds Out by Genesis, Exit Stage Left by Rush and Pulse by Floyd - and if you're thinking that those are all a bit Prog (which is no longer my favourite genre) you'd be right, but that type of music (and the attendant lights/theatrics) works better than most in the live arena.

Touche Garion on ''exit stage left'', also luv ''last tour on earth'' by Marylin Manson, ''If you want blood'' by AC/DC and ''under a blood red sky'' by U2

It's probably also worth noting in a 'Live Album' post, that however brilliantly it was recorded, nothing, but nothing can hold a candle to actually being present, being INSIDE that overwhelming combination of sound and light, and the palpable emotion of the crowd around you - all bonded by a love of the same band and music, all sharing the vast pulsing experience of it. I've felt group joy at gigs like that in a way you wouldn't expect for such an individualistic species.

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

I knew there was another one - spot on, that version of 'Emerald' is stunning, even allowing for the lascivious introduction: '..is there any of the girls'd like a little more Irish in 'em?'

Portishead at Roseland NY

Fear Engine by Shock Headed Peters

Indeed! Rock n roll at its finest.

I've got a dvd version of ''live and dangerous'', not the same concert as on the lp, but the rendition of ''emerald'' is a blisteringly good one. Filmed at the Rainbow Theatre during (I think) the same tour.

Hendix Band Of Gypsies Live at The Filmore.

Rush,All The Worlds A Stage.

Its a toss up for me But both are pink Floyd..delicate sound of thunder sounds sweet but pulse has more songs and dsotm live either way can listen to both at any time
