Karl, you’ve already nailed it for me. I came in to mention Ya-Yas and the Allman’s Filmore. Then you go and include Young’s Massey, which I only discovered in the last couple of years because of Pandora and am inexorably smitten with. A huge Young fan already, this recording stops me dead in my tracks every time a cut is played.
At Carnegie Hall by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. My favorite cut is Castillian Drums which has Joe Morello performing (arguably) the best jazz drum solo ever revorded.
Wow - I don’t know. It was streamed on the website Wolfgang’s Vault a few years ago and a friend saw it and burned a copy for himself and for me. I guess that would suggest it was the bootleg since it was prior to the official release. It sounds really great.
I’ll have to add my voice to the chorus of Rock 'n Roll Animal and At Budokan.
On top of that, I’ll add two:
Jane’s Addiction - Jane’s Addiction - Their first record on Triple X was their best. I’ve got drinks and hours of arguing for anyone who disagrees.
NOMEANSNO - Live and Cuddly - Good God, they’re so tight, you’d think the Wright brothers were siamese twins that had abducted a third guy and grafted him on to them and forced him to play guitar. Video of the first two songs is available here (warning: anti-solo). Watch Rob Wright work that P bass, it doesn’t stand a chance. He’s claimed to be a great-grandad, and living proof that if you’re too old to rock, you might be dead.
