You've reminded me that I didn't include Traffic's 'Welcome To The Canteen'
in my original list. Major error corrected there then!

I can't beleive that no one has mentioned It's Alive by The Ramones yet! (unless I missed it). Great "live" album...quotes cos it would seem that most of it was actually over-dubbed in the studio. Doesnt really matter to me cos it sounds great.

I can't believe I didn't mention it, a true classic

Strongly disagree! I've always loved Speak of the Devil. For many people (myself included), that LP was a route into the Sabs' back catalogue. Brad Gillis does an amazing job, I reckon, all things considered.
Hanoi Rocks - All Those Wasted Years
Speak Of The Devil is horrible, Sabbath don't need all that horrible screaming harmonics bollocks, listen to Children Of The Grave from Speak of the Devil, them listen to the original, why has the SOTD version got that horrible squealing on it WHY?? foams at mouth & gibbers in corner about the youth of today
I'll let you off because you remembered All Those Waisted Years and I didn't

Good call on The Guess Who & The Runaways
not so sure about Live At Last, much as I love Sabbath I don't think they ever managed to capture what they had live on record, the best I can think of is the Asbury Park 75 boot, heard some very murky recordings that hint at what they could be but nothing outstanding

I've never really come to terms with "Free Live" as an album. I like it more now that complete shows from the recording dates are available (if you put all the bonus tracks together on the various Free boxes and reissues) but overall I would go with the studio albums first. "Fillmore" should have been on my list and so should the first UFO live album.

I hope I can squeeze this into the remit, even though it's spoken word:
Bill Hicks: Flying Saucer Tour Vol 1
The best complete gig of Bill in full flow available on cd. A couple of minutes of a separate performance had to be added at the very end as the original source tape had run out before he'd finished, but you can't tell at all when listening. It's a sometimes awkward and unresponsive crowd who just don't 'get' him, but it brings out Vintage Bill, and it's a longer gig ( hour and a half ) than his usual as he really gets stuck in. There's supposed ro be more archive on the way. Let's hope so. The more Hicks these days, the better.
Essential in any Head's collection.

No appearance of USA: Live: King Crimson yet. The versions of Starless, Lament and Exiles are just brilliant. Or do I just mean heavy?
Stage by Bowie must be worth a mention too.
