Non - best live album

It's the only rock album I know where you can actually hear hurled beer bottles breaking against guitar strings - Lester Bangs

I give you the one and only

Metallic KO by Iggy and the Stooges
 
We did something similar a few years ago. It was daunting, lots of good stuff presented. But not Live!

I went to a couple of accounts to see what the "top 10 Live" "top 25 Live" etc per various surveys. It's such a compendium of material, many of which I have forgotten.

Purely for me ..........

* Guns n Roses Live Era 87-93. 2 hours of their best, raw and messy.

* Very obscure, seen through the haze of my university days ..... Mike Bloomfield and Al Kooper Live Adventures.

And you cannot go wrong with any live material from Billy Joel, James Taylor or the Eagles.

Any Grateful Dead live recording ( there must be one or two knocking about out there ; )

Man Alive, there must be an album called that : )

Rory Gallagher, in his pomp, any recordings of him gotta be good : )

I don’t know about Man Alive but there’s a rather good live album by Ten Years After called Undead.
