What is your favorite officially released live album?
I would have to say Tribute. Randy Rhoads playing was flawless and Ozzy did a decent job singing for the show.

Sorta a small list, Um I'd have to vouch for How The West Was Won (Zeppelin live ) or Alice in Chains "Live" ( live album), but I couldn't see it on the list.

I love Tribute, but they did a real edit job on that show. I've got the boot of that show and Ozzy's singing is OK at best. Randy's tone is better on the boot than on the official release.

One live album that isn't listed is Black Sabbath "Live Evil". I absolutely love that album.

I was gonna say UFO strangers in the night

The only (and I mean the ONLY) thing that prevents "Tribute" from being a perfect album is the drum solo. If anything could have been afforded to be edited out then that would be it...

What is the date and title for the boot?

If you want blood you got it ac/dc awesome much better than the studio albums at that point . Bon Scott RIP

Never Heard if You Want Blood You Got it

Live in Paris and Atlantic City Studio from Bonfire are amazing

I have to agree AC/DC the best all the way and Led Zeppelin.

I'm not sure of the date, but its a Cleveland show. Randy's solo is slightly different, and they used the Montreal show solo for the Tribute album.

KISS: Alive is my favorite live album because it was the first rock record I've ever heard. It was what got me into music and for that matter, metal. I pay my respects to them and that kick ass show. The funny thing is, I grew up in long Island, NY. I was 5 years old and rented KISS: Alive from the library. I fell in love
with it instantly. As I got older, I found out that that concert was recorded at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY!!! I went there to see WWF/WWE events when I was younger.

My other favorites are Megadeth's "Rude Awakening", Lamb of God's "Killadelphia", Children of Bodom's "Chaos Ridden Years: Stockholm Knockout Live", Ozzy's "Live at Budokan" and "Live and Loud", also Iron Maiden's "Rock In Rio"

Hell yes dude. Going into this thread I was totally thinking How the West Was Won by the greatest Led Zeppelin. That one will never be topped!

'Made in Japan' by Deep Purple. It has the most exciting interplay between organ and guitar while Blackmore plays with such fluidity along with incredible tone. The mix of the album is years ahead of any live album I've ever heard.
