Liking MSG helps fairly obviously.
laugh if you want, but you can pick any of the bon jovi live albums / dvd's and see a fantastic set, with faultless and often complex harmonies done live really well, with classic well written songs.
KRAAN 1974 is the best live album in my collection.
Surprised no-one’s mentioned Rush Exit Stage Left yet. And David Bowie Stage -which captures his Heroes era performance brilliantly.
One might also mention Mr Blackmore's one with his next band "Rainbow On Stage". Very different, but an incredible, dynamic live album nonetheless.
Both of these show how a band can really take a tune somewhere, while enthralling the audience.
No stories of fiddling here either, just the real deal.
Sade (1993)
Peter Gabriel - Secret World
Honorable mention:
Talking Heads - live in Rome
Portishead - Roseland NYC
Bob Marley - Santa Barbara
Trucks Tedeschi Band - Red Rocks
Again Robin Trower Live
tne version of Spellbound is exactly that
jimmy dewars voice is great. Just a showcase for Trower.
Thin lizzy Live and Dangerous
i must of seen Lizzy at least 7 or 8 times from a Fighting era and onwards.
I don’t really care if it was re-recorded in most ways it captures how I felt about Lizzy the energy and showmanship. The link from Cowboy song to boys are back, don’t believe a word is pure stage craft in action building energy through good arrangements.
My hoarse voice can probably be heard chanting Lizzy Lizzy on the Hammersmith section if I did not end up on Visconti cutting room floor
Definitely won't laugh at Bon Jovi, I'm pretty sure that was my first ever exposure to live music - I had their live at Wembley VHS when I was a kid and watched it non stop, must have been mid 90s at a guess?
Thanks all, some awesome suggestions, this thread will keep me busy for a while
Eric Clapton - Hyde Park
Peter Gabriel - Secret World
Peter Gabriel - Growing Up
Status Quo - Montreux
Wilko Johnson - Live at Koko
Any of the Clapton Crossroads concerts
CD: Deep Purple - Made In Japan. One of the first major live albums and never surpassed.

Peter Gabriel - Back to Front Tour
Whitesnake's Live in the still of the night is good, especially the DVD/CD package.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
If you've ever found yourself listening to mk.2 era Purple and wishing there was more (like, a lot more) of Ian Gillan squealing, this is the album for you.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
