Thanks! I wasn't sure about starting "another" play list but finding live recordings amongst all the others was getting a bit arduous.

I'm a hardcore Fleetwood Mac fan and I don't have The Dance, how is it in sound quality and liveness?

Yea, it is true that the live albums are kind of hard to find in the other playlists...or maybe not even posted as often as they are actually listened to.

As I said in the post, I really like the SQ and performances on The Dance. It's got great sound for a live cd, probably because it wasn't recorded at a traditional big live venue but more of a studio with a small audience like in an "unplugged" style. So if you're looking for raw unrestrained big arena rocking sound this isn't it, but if you want the "you are there in the first few rows in a small venue with a polite and small audience" then this is it. You can hear all the micro details in the mix that are often drowned out by big venue audiences, and everything is clear and well pronounced. And it does rock (the drums on The Chain and Tusk make my sub woofer "dance" lol), but the overall approach is more stripped down and relaxed.

Talk about raw!
 
Bill Withers - Live at Carnegie Hall, 1972.

Carnegie Hall has a special way of bringing out the performer and making it a up close and personal experience. Bill Withers has a wonderful rapport with the audience and the music is great too!

I like "live" that captures the essence of being there. Whether it's a intimate small club or a insane roaring packed stadium.
 
Melanie - Leftover Wine (Recorded Live at Margie's Birthday Party) Carnegie Hall, 1970.

One voice, one guitar on stage. Live albums should be more than just the music. This one captures it all with emotion and fun. It just occurred to me... Melanie is the quintessential hippie chick. Love her!

Gotcha. When you said "liveness" I thought you meant something more raw and energetic than that album. It is more of an intimate small venue setting with a good amount of comments/chatter from the band. I bet you'd like it. :yes:
 
Shirley Bassey - Live at Carnegie Hall, 1973.

Shirley is a bit over the top "Diva" eccentric performer on this one. Nevertheless the music is pretty good.

Rather than throwing a Fillmore East album out I thought of this one that I always enjoy. Malian guitarist Habib Koité has a live album recorded on a 2002 European tour:

Interesting stuff! The sound of a Marching band is difficult to capture.

btw... Fillmore East and West produced some excellent recordings. Let's see what you like. :D

Don't get me wrong, I love those Filmore recordings. Just figure you guys with massive collections would get bored if I list those.

As for Fillmore East / West recordings. Off the top of my head:

Ten Years After
Live at the Fillmore East (1970) (2001)

Band of Gypsys
Jimi Hendrix

Albert Collins
Live at the Fillmore West

Humble Pie
Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore (1971)

Albert King

Live at the Fillmore West

The Allman Brothers Band
The Fillmore Concerts

Taj Mahal
The Real Thing

Country Joe & The Fish
Live! Fillmore West 1969

Quicksilver Messenger Service

And of course lot's of partials like Cream's "Toad" or the bonus J. A. "Volunteers" and I'm sure there are more I've forgotten.
 
Looks like I am not the first for this one :thmbsp:
