Can anyone recommend any live and/or unplugged albums.

I've been listening to Clapton uplugged and really enjoyed it.

Bowie's David Live and Stage (get remastered CDs, much better than original vinyl versions, for a variety of reasons), and his last/final  crying A Reality Tour.

The David Live and Stage remasters also demonstrate the benefits of skillfull CD-remastering - eg, improved separation, detail and soundstage, plus punchier bass - without resorting to compression Smile

RE: Live albums

Stiff little Fingers-Hanx is classed as one of the best.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds-Live Seeds is awesome.

They're not Clapton, so you may, or may not care to listen to them. ;)

This is worth £7.50 of anyone's money. Superbly produced CD.

+1 live seeds. The Who -Live at Leeds. Led Zeppelin- how the west was won. Mogwai- government Commisions. The Fall - In a Hole(if you like the fall). Many more depending on taste, e.g. Dr Feelgood - Stupidity, MC5 - Kick Out The Jams.

What excellent taste you have. I would also add Rock and Roll Animal/Lou Reed -particularly the intro to Sweet Jane.

Barking Town Hall, England and Royce Hall, UCLA - doesn't that count as a partial-live album? Smile  (any category chance to mention Harvest will be gladly taken)
