Originally posted by neil By the way, Jude just picked up a CD for me on my birthday Jeff Buckley: Mystery White Boy (Live '95 ~ '96). The band has taken the best live recordings/performances and mixed them all together into a continuous virtual live concert -- very cool. This guy had such a presence that you can feel through your headphones -- definitely worth picking up.

I picked up Mystery White boy, it was one of the most poorly recorded shows/performances i ever heard. I have bootlegs that sound better from Jeff.

Dave Matthews Band - Listener Supported
" " " - Live at Red Rocks
" " " - Tim Reynolds Live at Luther College

Yup, thats right, DMB rules!!!!! ****especially live!****
(....Haven't heard Live in Chicago yet...)

 

[Flumpus]

w00t! sapphiremodena knows what he's talkin' about!

Live in Chicago is a great concert, but the recording quality is surprisingly worse than Listener Supported IMO. It still sounds decent and worth it for The Last Stop, The Maker, Victor Wooten on bass for The Maker and #41... stuff like that.

I still prefer the boots i have of dmb over the commercial releases.

Seven more "live jazz" picks:

An archetypical live jazz date, filled with passion, invention, and fire:
Richard Davis- "Epistrophy / Now's The Time"

Mono, recorded in Toronto in 1953 on Mingus's tape recorder (but recording not bad) with a stellar group (Dizzy, Bird, Bud, Mingus, Max) playing very fine:
"Jazz at Massey Hall"

Randy Weston- "Carnival"

Old and New Dreams- "Playing"

Sphere- "Sphere On Tour"

Clifford Jordan- "Live On Stage Vol. 1"

Joseph Jarman / Don Moye- "Egwu-Anwu"

 

[ByteSchlepper]

Sacred Sources 1 - Live Forever
which has the last known live recordings of

- Jimi Hendrix
- Marvin Gaye
- Bob Marley
- Stevie Ray Vaughan
- John Coltrane

The sound quality is not the greatest on some, but it's worth mentioning for live recording buffs. It's also too short and only has 1 or 2 tracks of each artist.

Woodstock.

 

[cajunchrist]

Not especially well recorded, but a spacious sounding record that captured the live intensity of the ONLY decent rap-rock band around. Their studio albums all sound contrived (and frankly are poorly recorded), they never got even close to the rock and roll fury that was the Respect E.P.

 

[Ubetit]

My Favorite is Alice In Chains - MTV unplugged.

An awesome live album.

 

[acidtripwow]

My favorite live CD has to be Gov't Mule - "Live with a Little Help From Our Friends" 4 CD set This 4 CD set is $50 but worth every penny!

 

[CaptBubba]

I second Rush: Exit...Stage Left. To bad the foil flaked off my copy leaving Spirt of Radio and Red barchetta unreadable.

Also I have to mention James Taylor: Live. It's like a greastist hits and a live alvum in one! I really love this album.
