| 'At Folsom Prison' by Johnny Cash the best live album ever? (Posted on 6/4/12 at 8:41 pm)
If not the best, easily near the very top IMO.
Not only are all the songs solid, but Cash does a great job interacting with the audience. The fact that he is singing about being hanged and teasing the wardens and guards in front of a large group of prisoners just adds another dimension.
If you haven't listened to this album in its entirety, I highly recommend it.

It's pretty damn awesome. Not sure if it's the GOAT, but it's probably the one that I enjoy the most.

No.
The Allman Brothers Band: Live At Fillmore East is the correct Answer.

Historical value with a couple of great performances.

I listen to Johnny Cash almost daily.
But, this is my favorite live album.

Great album no doubt.
Folsom Prison has more energy though, even though the music is much simpler. I still think it would be my choice to reflect a great live experience over ABB.

Allman Bros. Live at the Fillmore East is the only correct answer. It's not debatable.
