The Allman Brothers band thread a week ago about Live at Filimore East got me intrigued so I listened to the whole album and absolutely loved it! When I was younger, before I started playing guitar, and before I found my love and passion for music I hated listening to live songs, I always wanted the studio version because it "sounded the best".. but now that I'm older I understand the intimacy and emotion that live performances can evoke.

That being said, list me your top 5 live performance albums so I can start listening to some of them this weekend.

Happy friday music board

Jane's Addiction Live- the first one. Also, it's a dvd, but Drive By Truckers- Live at the 40 Watt is good.

I'm going to add performances from Budokan.
Cheap Trick and Bob Dylan had great recordings there.
