There’s a lot of people out there that don’t like to listen to live albums but I love them! Reasons why live albums are good to listen to are: 1) You get an idea of what the band & artist is like at their live concerts which is what they’re for to begin with 2) You can hear different versions of your favorite songs live on stage ’cause a lot of bands & artists don’t play the songs the same way twice 3) There is more freedom to spontaneity and improvisation…

Here are my top ten favorite live albums in no particular order:

• Led Zeppelin –  BBC Sessions
• Jimi Hendrix – Live at the Fillmore
• Allman Brothers – At Fillmore East
• David Bowie – Bowie At the Beeb
• Johnny Cash – Live at Folsom Prison
• Motorhead – No Sleep ’til Hammersmith
• Joe Bonamassa & Beth Hart – Live From Amsterdam
• Jefferson Airplane – The Woodstock Experience
• Nirvana – MTV Unplugged In New York
• KISS – Alive

That’s pretty much it. I’m sure there’s a few more, though.
