Your Favourite Live Recording

Does playing records count as 'playing live'? I don't think so... :D
Not if you're just playing records. But you have to hear what can be done on software like Ableton.

James Brown Live at the Apollo 1956 is fantastic.

Also Get Yer Ya-Yas Out - especially Midnight Rambler - and The Specials Live at the Moonlight Club (rudeboyrudeboyrudeboy).

Another vote for Live at the Moonlight Club here. Absolutely superb. Recorded on the eve of the general election in 1979, it opens with Terry Hall reminding everyone to vote in the morning before the band launch into It's Up To You...

Another vote for Velvet's 1969, and Orbital Glastonbury 94 - also partly for sentimental reasons. Other's would be Orb - Live 93, but probably the best are Live Rust - Neil Young & Crazy Horse and Spiritualised - Live at the Albert Hall. Sly & The Family Stone at Woodstock is also one of the rockingest things ever!
 
Can't pick just one, but I will be good and only do 3:

Owt by Damo Suzuki (that's not the name of an album!)

'Full House' - J Geils Band - such a good album

David Peel and the lower east side - 'Have a Marijuana'
 
Okay I know I said 3 but one more won't hurt :)

Johnny Cash - San Quentin





And err...the live version of Troy, by Sinead
 
MC5-Kick Out The Jams
Jimi Hendrix/Otis Redding-Live At Monterey
The Seeds- Raw & Alive
Misty In Roots-Live At The Counter Eurovision
Suicide-23 Minutes In Brussels
Iggy & The Stooges-Metallic K.O.

The last two are memorable for the banter and adverse crowd reactions.
 
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out ! ~ The Stones
8:30 ~ Weather Report
Live at The Sahara Tahoe ~ Isaac Hayes
