(No concert DVD's or Blu-rays, unless they have CD's or vinyl/streaming counterparts)
Favorites? Mine is a rather classic rock-heavy list, with a few left-field choices. David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk is perhaps my all-time favorite, not counting live bootlegs (which could be a whole other thread). Steven Wilson's Get All You Deserve I like a lot too, for the choice in material and the way his band really immediately gelled.

Can we count an unofficial soundboard CD from a show that did have a live DVD? If so...
Other favorites include Ben Folds: Live
And despite some controversy, I will always be fond of Live Noise by Moxy Fruvous. The improvised songs and banter alone are gold.

Nothing controversial... he's an [alleged] abusive piece of a shit and I'm hoping that any Moxy Früvous reissues/remasters don't give him any royalties.Originally Posted by theimage13

Wait what? Deviant was one of my favorite albums of that era. How did I not realize they'd done a live album??

You should go on their Bandcamp, dude. They've been posting their own archive of soundboard recordings from 94, 98, 2000, unreleased tracks, demos, as well as the whole album Deviant in demo form...

A Pity A forest isn"t on the Cds but only on the Laserdisc. I can't remember how many time I only listen to "Tape".
My selection :
Siouxsie and the banshees : Nocturne
Bauhaus : Press the eject and give me the tape
Sigur Ros : Inni
David Bowie : a Reality Tour
The Cure : Paris
Tori Amos : Live at Montreux
Archive : Live at Zenith

I'd like to add A Is for Accident by the Dresden Dolls. It was my introduction to the band and I still prefer some of the songs over the studio versions.

pumped in/massaged crowd noise aside, this things rips. And the two bonus cuts are tasty.
Peak of their powers stuff right here. And if you want the video version:

Depeche Mode - Songs of Faith and Devotion LIVE (with the same order of songs as studio album released the same year, because why not, we're world #1 thing now, watch out)

Hell yes love a good live album. The Cure's Show was my first proper introduction to them, and love it a great deal to this day. Will second Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense, but personally I prefer the slightly earlier stuff - disc two of The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads rocks hard. Also, yes In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up from Ministry is a classic. Enjoy the new untampered mix a great deal too. Can I also add:
LCD Soundsystem: The Long Goodbye,
Revolting Cocks: Live! You Goddamned Son Of A Bitch,
Kylie Minogue: Live In New York,
Coil: Live Two
In addition - I have a rip of Live At The Fonda Theatre by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - from the video stream they had on the website for a while. Still gutted we didn't get a full release of Distant Sky - maybe one day?

A few favorites...:
Just tickles my balls!
lol, if you type The Cure Tape to Google it gives you lyrics to The Top.

OMG someone else loves Archive!! I agree, I listened to this live album a lot. I love Craig Walker, and I'm surprised how good the songs are even without him.
On topic, I am not the biggest fan of live albums. I prefer the videos. But there are exceptions, and those are the one I really enjoyed:
Archive - Live at Zenith
NIN - And All That Could Have Been Live
A Perfect Circle - Stone and Echo
Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong
Stubby Member
I probably saw Archive a very much more time live than NIN : something like 15 times in 9 years.
i'm not sure i'm missing Craig Walker. I saw him in a very small new group (we were less the 100 at the event) and it wasn't so great.
Dave Penney is so perfect (even if the BirdPen band)
