The Counting Crows - Live in the Heineken Music Hall

Pretty high on the awesome scale and has a lot of stereoplay in it. The Hammond in St Robinson in his Cadillac Dream has a part where you can feel the player's fingers sliding back and forth. Very impressed, my favourite album for weeks already.

Kari Bremnes - Live

Excellent sound quality, as most of her other recordings.

Not new, but Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus" should get a mention. The Tower of Power horn section plays with them.

Freakingly good.

Amazon- Waiting for Columbus

No doubt about this one. It would be one of my desert island picks. Not my favorite album of all time, and maybe not even in the top 10, but it's just one of those albums that never fails to deliver - it takes me away, awashed in the music! Can't help but singing along, pretending I'm Lowell George - especially when I'm in my bathtub.

Nevermind. Just a bad joke about a fat man in a bathtub with the blues...

(2006) Skin and Bones - Foo Fighters

It's done so well it sounds nearly like it was recorded in a studio. Also one of the things I like about this is that while there is some variance in the songs, it is tasteful. I rarely like live albums because the artists start doing very strange and honestly BAD things to their songs randomly. This is especially true of pop singers.

Roxy Music -- Viva! There are one or two songs on this that reach a get transendental with their etherial weirdness. Er, in the word of Shelly Duvall in "Annie Hall" is guess they're "transplendid." Or maybe I just long hypnotic songs.

Now for some real live music.... The Grateful Dead live at the Old Rennaisance Faire. My favorite Dead bootleg. those guys just nailed it sometimes.

You forgot to add, "Howard Stern played Lofgren one-on-one in hoops -- and lost. (Nils Lofgren must be about 5'4")

I was at my brothers and he played Scorpions Acoustica to me. My jaw totally dropped. An DVD with mega hit after mega hit in amazing quality which just wasn´t like anything I ever experienced.

 

Tried the stereo track but that was just not as good despite being non compressed. Got to borrow it expecting it to sound crap on my more modest speaker system but boy oh boy does it sound amazing here as well. Have not tried it with my LCD-2 yet because I am afraid I will break my neck wink.gif

 

I am googling like crazy for a bluray version but sadly can´t find anything. But the picture quality is amazing as well for being DVD. As good or better then many bluray concerts I got actually.
