Favorite Live Albums From the 70's

[LG]

I was never worried KMET, seeing you are Doing another poll...

I would have mentioned Strangers in the Night for sure if you left them out again.

And great choices too RF, Kansas and Little Feat both deserve to be on a live album poll.

From that List of Live Albums I think The Last Waltz from The Band is probably the best, though sadly I haven't heard Jackson Browne's Running on Empty album and I've heard some great songs from it including the titled song! My feeling is I'd probably enjoy it more, though don't really know for sure!

It's an open poll, you can vote for as many or as few as you want to...I picked 7 myself.

Knowing something about your taste CP/M you would like "Running on Empty", it's one of his best.

Not to be a doggy-downer here, but while Jackson Browne's Running on Empty does have a few songs on it which were recorded live on stage, I don't know anyone who would classify it as a live album in its entirety.

It's even hard for me to call Joe Walsh and Robin Trower's concert albums "live", though technically they are of course. Both albums just have live tracks, likely taken from different shows, which were then put on a record. There is nothing continuous about the recording at all, which is unfortunate imo. But at least the songs are indeed "live", and I guess that's the main idea (even if the crowd noise fades out after each song).

Speaking of "on stage", there's yet another album I forgot about... Loggins & Messina's "On Stage". Oh well... next time.
