For me it is the Happy Mondays Elland Road 91, one of the best gigs I have ever been to. Ok, Ryder is not the best live singer and at the time you never knew what type of performance you would get from the band due to partying excesses but on that day they were superb. They were well supported that day by The Las, Farm, Northside & The High.
The live album is 'Baby Big Head' (bootleg) or Happy Mondays - Live
Saw the thread title and instantly thought of Talking Head's Stop Making Sense. Other favourites are Billy Joel - Songs in the Attic Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner Rowan Atkinson - Live in Belfast...maybe not the right place for this one.

Tom waits -nighthawks at the diner is a great shout, but then you mention Rowan Atkinson ...each to their own GaryT, as someone wrote about punching Phil Collins in the face all day, I could do the same to Atkinson ..apart from blackadder everything I've seen him do is absolute pony...mr.bean etc....oh dear, oh dear.

We are sort of on the same page Willo. Check out this early live album, it's up there with some of his best Blackadder stuff. As you say, Mr Bean etc....oh dear oh dear.

F*ck yes. This Must Be The Place is the best live thing that has ever been.
Also:
The Cure - Cure in Orange (before they got shit) Banshees - Nocturne (before they got too old) The Cult - Live at the Lyceum (before they turned into rock posers)
Good call re the Cult and Live At The Lyceum, Bluce. Was the first music VHS cassette music video reel thingy that I owned.
I realise that it's de rigueur to hate U2 and their music from the last 30 years but even so I'm still surprised there's not been one mention of Under A Blood Red Sky. A great live album and again I loved the VHS cassette music version. Great stuff for the early 80's, imo.
I forgot about this one The Legendary Bootleg Series Vol 4. Disk 2 - without doubt one of the best live recordings I've heard. The wall of sound that must have greeted the audience at the Manchester Free Trade Hall for the opening verse of "Tell Me Momma" must have been quite something. Gives me goose pimples when that comes on my iPod, I love the build up to it and the way it comes crashing through.

Two of my faves there BlackCrowe in the Ramones and thin lizzy.. Irish tour '74 by the mighty Rory Gallagher..and Folsom prison blues by mr.johnny cash.
Rory G Irish Tour - seconded. Lucky enough to hear him in the 70s - quite the best thing I've ever heard.

Thin Lizzy : Live & Dangerous or though debatable how much of the music is from the actual live recording.
Queen, Live Killers Free : Disk 6 on Songs of Yesterday, superb recordings some from Croydon Fairfield Halls.
The Thin Lizzy L & D debate is more down to Visconti overstating his "performance. Listen to "Still Dangerous" which was a bootleg from the tour used and see just how little difference in quality there is. Robbo and Downey still refute his % of studio takes. L & D remains my favourite live album. Rush "All the worlds a stage" Neil Young and Crazy Horse "Weld" still get decent air play

- Built to Spill Live. I actually think it's their best album.
- Neil Young Live at Massey Hall. Near the beginning he says he's going to play a lot of new stuff tonight and you can hear (or maybe I imagine it) the crowd giving off faint vibes of disappointment. Turns out he plays 5 or 6 songs that would end up on Harvest. Mad to hear them in such an early form.

He Who Dares Wins killed the eventual studio album. The Peel sessions even more so.
Such a shame they screwed up that album. Big mistake getting a rookie Mick Jones in to produce!
The studio album was such a disappointment and didn't showcase what they were about at all. They are still playing live with the same intensity as 30 odd years ago.
Loved the John Peel sessions...given me an idea for a thread

Agreeing with quite a lot here - Hanx in particular sticks out. Also agree with the U2 live at Red Rocks album - they were just breaking through and doing something very different and innovative and the album really captures that certain excitement that they had.
Depeche Mode 101 was a very good album, again a band just reaching its peak.
Also should mention the Jam - Dig the New Breed. Never quite captured the power and passion of the band, but by god they sound good.
The projected passion review by Dexys Midnight Runners was a hidden gem, Dexys pre Gypsy time.
Never knowingly understood

Yeah I agree, Still Dangerous was quite a lot poorer in sound quality. The Live & Dangerous Deluxe addition wasn't bad, added Bad Rep and Opium Trail to the listing and both top quality and two of my favourites.
Have you heard the Live 75 album? This captures performances of their warm up gigs before the release of the Jail Break album where Robbo and Gorham were bedding in with that twin lead. It's Raw as f*ck but a captures some really good performances. The Still In Love With You recording is absolutey top notch and shows you what a great Bass player Lynott really was. Then my personal fave Showdown, epic Brian Robertson guitar solo at the end, one of the all time great live tracks. Cannot recommend highly enough for Lizzy fans.
