A couple months ago I posted a status on Twitter/Facebook stating that I loved live albums and asking people for their favorites. I got a great response. Lots of classics. So I decided to follow that up with a list of my favorites in no particular order…
James Taylor – Live – Great musicianship and, of course, songs. No overdubs!
Coldplay – LeftRightLeftRightLeft – The enthusiasm of the crowd is amazing.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – Live in New York City – The energy of this band is unparalleled.
Simon and Garfunkel – The Concert in Central Park (1981) – Great harmonies and great fun.
David Wilcox – East Asheville Hardware – Funny, poignant, real.
Darrell Scott – Live in NC – Mix country, bluegrass, southern rock, jam band, and a voice like no other.
John Mayer – Where the Light Is – Comprehensive. The acoustic set is my favorite by far.
Darrell Evans – Let the River Flow – Taught me so much about worship.
Hillsong – Shout to the Lord – Classic. Nothing else to say.
U2 – Rattle and Hum – Not a complete live album but the closest I had in the 8th grade. I loved the passion on this…I wanted to sing like Bono so bad (Part of me still does:)!
How about you?…
Even if these are in no particular order….Where The Light Is is still the best in general, specifically In Your Atmosphere!
It is pretty awesome…no doubt about that.
