Sinatra at the Sands. Or something like that.

Here are couple of favorites not yet mentioned. I'm a lifelong Neil Young fan, and two concert recordings issued later in his releases that are absolutely superb are:

"Live at Massey Hall 1971"
"Roxy: Tonight's the Night Live (Live from the Roxy)"

The former catches Neil as he's brewing "Harvest" in his mind and repertoire, along with several others. It's wonderfully well recorded, and Neil just knows how to hold an audience and put on a concert all on his acoustic lonesome.

The latter is a performance of my top favorite Neil album played for the opening of the new club The Roxy in LA, recorded live two weeks after the band finished the album. You are in that bar, and the band is feeling the music. I do delete the Neil patter between songs, as he really sucked at it then, IMO...

The original LP by MC5- Kick out the Jams, recorded live in 1968.

Two of my live ‘live’ albums

Lucinda Williams - Live @ The Filmore

Jimmy Scott - Live in Tokyo

And here’s Jimmy shortly before he passed away.

 

[Site7000]

Rolling Stones "Brussels Affair" 1973
Grateful Dead "Skull & Roses" 1971
The Band "The Last Waltz" 1976

High amperage from three great bands, especially Brussels Affair, which will blow your head off.
