At Mr. Widget's suggestion, here's a new thread about what great...or even good...live recordings do you particularly like. I commented about quality of "Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr.: The RatPack Live at The Sands" from Sept. 1963. Another live album that I really liked as a teenager, and still do... and so did some 30 million other fans was "Frampton Comes Alive"...still like "Deep Purple Live in Japan", and "Humble Pie, Rockin' the Fillmore"..oh yeah..."Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East"(I think). Not only is the recording very good on these, but so is the Performances. One more... ... Rare Earth Live...the one in the backpack looking cover, two record set. I really like a good mix of the crowd noise when done well....I think it adds to the concert listening experience...like those live at the Sands recordings....adds ambiance...Yeah baby.
