Well at one point or another I've owned but one of these and still have
copies of 6 of them.
My top 10 today:
1. Live at Leeds The Who - duh!
2. At Fillmore East Allman Brothers - I just played it. :)
3.The Boston Box Fleetwood Mac - The real Big Mac three guitar assault,
recorded one week before Leeds.
4. Wheels of Fire Cream - "Crossroads" nuff said
5. Live at Winterland Jimi Hendrix - Minimum effects
6. Live at Roseland Gov't Mule - Best band you never heard.
7. Bedspring Symphony (bootleg from '73) Rolling Stones - Better than
anything they ever or could ever hope to release.
8. Live Bootleg Aerosmith - Best live album recorded on enough Coke to kill
a rhino, so sloppy it's great.
9. Performance at the Fillmore Humble Pie - When Frampton was a rocker,
Marriot sizzles
10. Made in Japan Deep Purple - Their first and best of some 50+ live
commercial releases.
honorable mentions:
Live Rust Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Smell the Horse!
Fandango|! ZZ Top - Where the F$#&$ is the rest of the show? Put it out
already!
Double Live Gonzo Ted Nugent - He has a way with the english language. :)
Plus a few from the original list
