The Top 25 All-Time Best Rock Live Albums

i think that the list is missing at least the first 3 albums:

1. Live/Dead - The Grateful Dead - i think it is insane not to include this album in a greatest live albums list, and i gravely dislike The Grateful Dead (i know that alone says nothing about its quality, but cannot find the words for someone who cannot get behind this version of "Dark Star", and everything else just seems to fall into place for this album)
2. 1969: Live with Lou Reed - The Velvet Underground
3. Band Of Gypsys - Jimi Hendrix - i guess he already has a Hendrix on there

others that came to mind:
Made In Japan - Deep Purple - i was surprised not to see this on there. i always thought that this was one of those unanimous "greatest" live albums, oh well.
Live I - Fushitsusha - good psychedelia
Live ‘77 - Les Rallizes Denudes - good psychedelia
some sort of Frank Zappa release
Dream Letter: Live In London 1968 - Tim Buckley - he noted this one so it is not as important as the others might be.
It’s Too Late To Stop Now - Van Morrison
Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal - Lou Reed - this is a personal favorite; Reed improves on "Sweet Jane", "Caroline Says", and "Rock 'n' Roll", and delivers interesting performances of "Heroin" and "White Light/White Heat". he already had another Lou Reed live album though, so....
The Blow-Out - Television - this is a solid effort, though nothing absolutely essential off of the 1st disc to my recollection, but the two lengthy performances of "Little Johnny Jewel" and "Marquee Moon" make it a decent adventure for a Television fan.
MTV Unplugged In New York - Nirvana - another odd absence.
Happy Trails - Quicksilver Messenger Service

Nevertheless, i am going to check out the Nico, Lou Reed, Townes Van Zandt, and Elvis Costello albums he listed (though i can only take so much of Costello; that said, he might sound better live).

i disagree with the Pere Ubu choice, because it is a bad recording of possibly GREAT performances.

and my favorite is probably The Bootleg Series, Volume 4: Bob Dylan, Live 1966 The “Royal Albert Hall” Concert. i like the first disc more.

Live at the Apollo...okay, maybe I haven't given it a fair shake or something, but that album has always sounded kind of flat and uninspired to me. Yes, I'm perfectly aware that I'm the only sane human being (I am sane...aren't I?) who believes this, but oh well. For James Brown, I'll just stick to the Star Time compilation.

Anyway, the rest of the choices are great. I'm just glad the Who's Live at Leeds is on there. I can turn that one up, and it just blows my brain out. I also applaud the inclusions of the Dylan and MC5 albums, both of which are personal favorites.

Though as great as Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison is--and it certainly deserves a spot on this list--I think that At San Quentin is an even better representation of how much ass he kicked live. Okay, maybe if we're talking original releases, Folsom beats it, but with the two-disc full concert edition, San Quentin wins hands down.

The other day I almost bought the Ramones' It's Alive at a used music/movies store, because I can't find it anywhere online or at my library. I probably should've picked it up.

Oh, and Live/Dead should totally be on there.

No Zappa? C'mon, Roxy and Elsewhere! It's got "Cheepnis"! (And yes, I know that song is mostly not live. Shut up.)

I don't understand why he left off Cheap Trick's At Budokan. Some are pretty inspired choices, such as Zevon, Talking Heads, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Costello, the Ramones. I'd recommend Ritchie Valens At Pacoima jr. High, The Beatles Live At The Hollywood Bowl, Full House by J. Geils Band, Nighthawks At The Diner by Tom Waits, and definitely A Session With The Remains.

At least he didn't include KISS or Frampton.

I'm partial to Queen live at Wembley.
