I'm actually a fan of live albums. Some of my favourites:

Metallica - S&M, Live Shit
Dream Theater - Live Scenes
Dave Matthews - Weekend On The Rocks, Unplugged with Tim Reynolds
Iced Earth - Alive In Athens
Tom Waits - Nighthawks At The Diner
Pink Floyd - PULSE
Evergrey - A Night To Remember
Maiden - Rio
Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine, Warzawa

The Dark Tranquillity live album was actually a bit of a let down, since Stanne wasnt on his best performance and the crowd sucked. I hated the Death Live In LA's sound, so I'm not a fan of that one. And of course, the In Flames live album is probably the only live album I refused to listen to more than once.

Very good choices.

 

[Liquid Tension]

Pain of salvation - 12:5
King Crimson - B'voom
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys

Jethro Tull - Bursting Out is one of my favorites. Great banter from Ian Anderson and fantastic performances, with a couple instrumental tracks that weren't on any of the studio albums. Yes' Yessongs is also great.

Iron Maiden - Live After Death

The ONLY live album worth listening to ever.

 

[in_absentia]

Not the ONLY but yeah (maybe in your opinion), but something i will check out

 

[biggsy]

Pink Floyd - PULSE

fuck forgot that one!

 

[dishcloth]

Pulse rules. The performance of Comfortably Numb is incredible. Awesome show.

 

[BloodSword]

Allman Brothers Band-Live at the Fillmore, Rory Gallagher- Irish tour 74, Luther Allison-Live in Chicago, Lonnie Mack-Attack of the Killer V, Hendrix-Band of Gypsys. A friend stopped by with some "sticky skunk" and One Cold Winters Night, new cd from Kamelot. The set was recorded in Oslo, Norway and is fuckin' killer. Even though Power metal is predictable, these guys know what their doing. Excellent musicianship and Roy Kahn's a powerhouse vocalist. Well-crafted and attention to detail is apparent.
