Mine off the top of my head:<BR/><BR/>"Game of Pricks", GBV, also from the box set. They really ramp up the energy of an already kick-ass song.<BR/><BR/>"Tennesee Plates" and "Slow Turning", John Hiatt from <I>Hiatt Comes Alive at Budakon</I>.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which, "Surrender" and "I Want You to Want Me" from Cheap Trick's <I>Live at Budakon</I> fall into Chad's category of eclipsing their studio originals.<BR/><BR/>I also love the live rock version of "Polly" from the Nirvana live album.<BR/><BR/>On Sting's <I>Bring on the Night</I> live album, his jazzy meddly of "Bring on the Night/When the World Is Running Down" is really good and a nice reworking of those songs.<BR/><BR/>And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention two Rush songs: the live versions of "Closer to the Heart" with the little jam at the end, and the live version of "La Villa Strangiato" on <I>Exit Stage Left</I>Brandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10484284471046027179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1156341513269840012006-08-23T06:58:00.000-07:002006-08-23T06:58:00.000-07:00Chad nailed it with Neil Young.

The whole of "Unplugged" is magic -- even freakin' "Transformer Man" emerges as surprisingly terrific.<BR/><BR/>Let's not forget "Frampton Comes Alive." I think any live album comes down to the recording, and the recording on that album is so intimate and vibrant that it vaulted a fairly obscure artist into the stratosphere. In fact it became the best-selling album of all time up to that point. It's the only live album I know that somehow makes me feel like I'm actually at the concert. No small feat.<BR/><BR/>But "Unplugged"... sheez. Everyone should have that CD.Grendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664099783685963708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1156295878273636692006-08-22T18:17:00.000-07:002006-08-22T18:17:00.000-07:00the version of thunder road on springsteen's live ...the version of thunder road on springsteen's live from 75-85 box set was amazing.Michelle Falkoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14588921921027178995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1156288207300284202006-08-22T16:10:00.000-07:002006-08-22T16:10:00.000-07:00Jane's Addiction - "Jane Says" on their self-title...Jane's Addiction - "Jane Says" on their self-titled LP.

The live version of "Lisa Says"? Not to mention that is one of my favorite album covers ever. "Needle and the Damage Done" is live. That one gives me the shivers.chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551233609525777908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10113687.post-1156263357255322812006-08-22T09:15:00.000-07:002006-08-22T09:15:00.000-07:00Good choices.
