Yeah, "Running on Empty" is pretty good. Zevon was spotty live, but I'd take "Learning to Flinch" over "Stand in the Fire".

Learning to Flinch is good too...but that was after he sobered up. There is something visceral and untamed about SitF. Running on Empty is perhaps one of the best classic rock albums live or not... EVER.

Had forgotten about Running On Empty and definitely agree with you on this one. As a matter of fact, it's one of three live albums that I have.A Gunslinger wrote:Learning to Flinch is good too...but that was after he sobered up.

I guess it's kind of easy to overlook since it isn't a the typical live album.

so it's useless to call for Husker Du's live album? easily better than most of the items listed and recorded in 87.

Hard to argue with the number 1. (I woulda put live after death a little higher!)

Stop Making Sense, Talking Heads ?!
Too funky/quirky for that list, strictly dinosaur rock there - still, a classic live album if ever there was one !

Those people were too busy kissing KISS's asses to notice anything like the Talking Heads. They missed U2's Red Rocks, too. Hell, they missed a lot of good stuff because they're only interest was in putting all the live KISS shit in there. Actually, the readers likes KISS more than the CRR people. But, CRR liked Ozzy while the readers didn't, and CRR liked AC-DC way more than the raders.

I didn't see Nighthawks at the Diner from Tom Waits in there, but then again, I wasn't looking too closely. And I'd take his bootleg Mathilda before that one anyway.

Tom Wait's 'Big Time' was a gem too ..I didn't see Nighthawks at the Diner from Tom Waits in there, but then again, I wasn't looking too closely. And I'd take his bootleg Mathilda before that one anyway.

I also liked Roger Water's Germany "Wall" concert...Van Morrison's "Comfortably Numb" was f'n SWEET.
