If you can't be there in person then sometimes the "Live Album" can be the next best thing.

Following are a few of my favorites, in no particular order. Please share some of your own!

1.
Great upbeat album. The crowds enthusiasm is infectious!

2.
This album reminds me of spying on my parents parties when they would break of this record and dance in our living room.

3.
"I killed a man just to watch him die" - Great audience response! ;o)

4.
"The King Must Die" and "Have Mercy on the Criminal" are superb!

5.
(Hand over ears) I don't care what you say - lalalalalalala - I like it! :op

I don't know why ZZ Top has not release any other live albums, except for XXX, which is another live/studio hybrid album.

Bob Seger
Nine Tonight

a classic

[Dashing Dasher]

he he he!!

I had to get on a plane this morning at 7am for a business trip. Been up since 5am. I'm just lucky I live close to the airport.... zzzzz...

Of course they had to ruin the GFR "Behind the Music" by interviewing Michael Moore-on.

[Skooz]

Living close to Texas, ZZ Top used to drop by here on every tour and I saw them live more than any other band. Every time I saw them, I was in awe of how tight they were.

Tightest band ever. Period.

Barry Manilow sold a heck of a lot of albums to a heck of a lot of people.
And he won a few Super Bowls with the 49ers. :)

You owe me a keyboard!

;-)

[Nabber]

Absolutely, the All-Time Best.

Think about it, 30+ years, NO personnel changes. How many bands can make that claim?

[freedumb2003]

Bummer -- but I'd like to see it anyway.

[dfwgator]

Well they were both from Flint, and Moore didn't get too political, so it really wasn't that bad.

[Skooz]

Yep. Touring together for that many years, playing that many gigs, just the three of them.

Tight.

[Skooz]

I can't hear "I'm Your Captain" without thinking about Moore going to the draft board. He's almost ruined that song for me.

You've got the letters not quite in the correct order, but that album does indeed have that song on it. I bought it when I was 12, and it took me a year or so to understand what the title of this particular cut was supposed to mean. It was among the first albums I ever got, from the Columbia House Record Club. Also got "Who's Next," Bob Dylan's "Greatest Hits," and Three Dog Night's "Suitable for Framing" in that batch.
