What's your favourite LIVE!!! Album?

[ADGold]

I should have seen this one coming .... I dunno - to me it is just (very) good improvised music for solo instrument.

When I am in the mood to listen to "Jazz" I would never play the Koln Concert. My Koln Concert mood is more similar to say Indian raga (hariprasad chaurasia) or say Anouar Brahem). Not sure what label to stick on it.

I just picked this album up yesterday and completely agree with this post.

Alison Krauss - Live
David Sanborn - Straight to the Heart
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Eric Clapton - Unplugged
Cowboy Junkies - Trinity Revisited

Dave Brubeck - Carnegie Hall is becoming is real favourite and Speakers Corner just released a 2LP set of this. I might have to order it!

I could give a whole list of the usual suspects Miles,Trane,Cannonball,Wes Montgomery,Art Blakey,........
But if I may recommend 2 living and performing artist recorded in excellent quality...
Carmen Gomes inc.and Paul Berner Band recorded in the studio before a live audience in the
Sound Liaison Studio Showcase Series.

Just got Keith Jarrett's new release - Somewhere.

Another excellent ECM recording.

24/96?

24/96?

My copy is just a Redbook CD from Amazon, but I see that HDtracks has a 24/96 download.

 

[rbbert]

It sounds fabulous, and worth $20.98 - 10%; I do think that the ECM's are generally overpriced, but OTOH they almost always sound exceptionally good.

 

[NorthStar]

I'd rather pay $20-25 for a good quality sound CD than $10 for a crappy recorded CD.

 

[24bit]

the Sound Liaison downloads are great sounding 24/96 wav files and I paid 16.50 euro for a whole album,

 

[MrAcoustat]

I'd rather pay $20-25 for a good quality sound CD than $10 for a crappy recorded CD.

Amen to that, my system deserves the best and that's a good quality cd, now back to my favourite live album.

PS: You will have a very hard time finding ( Live à FIP ) but this one will be the best $50.00 you will ever spend, all four albums are very good.

Just discovered this gem:

http://www.amazon.com/Bride-Noisemakers-Bruce-Hornsby-The/dp/B004WB0QNE/ref=ntt_mus_dp_dpt_2

2 discs and not a weak track in the bunch; extremely well recorded.

UPDATE: forget what I said guys. rrbertttrret..whatever says I am dead wrong so disregard the above. My apologies to anyone who mistakenly bought this turkey per my advice. It's a piece of crap.

Carmen Gomes

this is from a recording for Dutch Television,the versions on the Thousand Shades of Blue album

,sounds even better.

 

[MrAcoustat]

Here is another old classic, Michel Jonasz -- - La Fabuleuse Histoire De Mr Swing.

 

[MrAcoustat]

Hadouk Trio - - - Soft Landing from the album Air Hadouk

You do mean extremely poorly recorded, don't you? One of the most dynamically compressed albums in existence, and it actually sounds worse than many of the free Bruce Hornsby MP3's offered by livedownloads.com (some are the exact same performances, but the free MP3's have up to 6+ dB more dynamic range).
