Great choices, as usual, Andy. In my top ten I would have to include Humble Pie, Live at the Filmore. I bought it after seeing them live and being transfixed by Steve Marriott. He was like a human whirlwind, playing with the audience and the band. The album is a Marriott tour de force and absolutely nothing like the studio albums which were a bit insipid. I can clearly see why Mick Jagger wouldn't sign him up for the Stones even though the rest of the band wanted him. He would have blown Jagger off the stage with his incredible voice, stage presence and superb guitar work. I was saddened when he died in a house fire as he remained true to his blues/rock roots but never received the recognition he deserved. (Having now read all the other comments I'm starting to think that Stevie Marriott is actually receiving, albeit posthumously, the recognition he deserved. So many mentions of Rockin the Filmore. 😉)

Utterly delighted with your No. 1 selection. Band of Gypsies was a pinnacle performance. Everyone loves Machine Gun - but for me the opening solo of Power to Love makes the hairs on my neck stand on end still today. Great choices.

Scorpions Tokyo Tapes. This is such a great live album. Uli Jon Roth is as transcendeant as John McLaughlin and that's saying a lot. It's like Hendrix and Beethoven had a baby together. He is so melodic, dramatic and full of hooks.

A really influential heavy rock band that often flies under the radar is Budgie. They released a compilation live album that spans their performances from 1972-1981 called, Heavier Than Air - Rarest Eggs. Maybe not among the elite best, but worth mentioning.

Rock and Roll Animal by Lou Reed and Live and Dangerous by Thin Lizzy are my two favorites.

Johnny Winter ..and live

I've been looking forward to this. I love live albums, it's a measure of how a great band can play in the moment and stretch out a bit. A great way to get into a new band. Can't wait for the prog version in a couple of days. Your list is good but I would have MiEurope as well as MiJ and Irish Tour 74 even though Rory might not count as 'classic' it's the same blues rock DNA.

Thanks for another insightful and scholarly presentation. Although I don’t agree with all of your choices, “Band Of Gypsys” is truly the holy grail of exceptional, otherworldly live classic rock albums and the rightful number one on your list. For me, regardless of genre, my favorite live albums include; “Live At Leeds”, “Live Cream Vol 1”, “Seconds Out”, “At The Fillmore (Allman Brothers)”, “Rockin The Fillmore (Humble Pie)”, “Live At The Apollo (James Brown)” and “Frampton Comes Alive”. Bravo!

This is an old post of yours but it just showed up on my YT feed. I have half of the live albums you’re talking about and agree wholeheartedly on everything you’ve said. If You Want Blood is a monumental album as is Live & Dangerous and No Sleep Til Hammersmith. I also have that 10” single of Motörhead & Girlschool :) Thanks Andy :)

Andy love your videos, have been mining your vault. Learning so much. In one of your videos you said in an off hand manner ‘we don’t like classical music here’. (or something to that effect) I’d be surprised if there wasn’t some classical music you enjoy??

As a 15 year old kid in 1976, KISS Alive changed my musical direction. I couldnt get on with them after that, but I got to see them that year and the next year live. I KNOW! KISS

For live Zep I go with the boots. Great list. Thanks.

An almost perfect list, and delivered with real enthusiasm and love. We must be around the same vintage.too. I would have had Allman Brothers Live At Filmore East in there but so good to hear you lavish praise on the great UFO and Strangers In The Night which is my personal favourite. Nice to hear Fishbone name checked too.

Yes, you are SO correct to place BNaE in first place. When a friend took me to an almost 3-hour Mahavishnu Orchestra concert in 1973 in a smallish venue (Berkeley Community Theater) my young mind exploded with multiple eargasms! I went to every SF Bay Area show they played thereafter, including the Apocalypse tour with Ponty, a horn section and string section. Jaw-dropping! Thanks for posting!

A turning point for me. In retrospect a real "what if?" Moment. At the risk of getting shot down, this is Hendrix as his most black (he was, after all from a very mixed race background), really drawing on those years as a backup guy but fusing it with his own exploratory playing.

Interesting choices, thank you ! For the next season :), I keep in mind Recorded Live-Ten Years After, Bursting Out-Jethro Tull, New Model Army&...Nobody Else, Live At The Milky Way-Captain Sensible etc. etc. Let Music Play !

Great entertaining Andy Edwards Video like usual.Thank you Only one small question: What came first, the definition or the 10 selected live albums? I had never hard rock albums but LedZep albums I have all. And only in the first half of the 70s friends with Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and Free Albums. The only live experience I had 1971 with Humble Pie and Grand Funk Railroad Open Air in front of 10 000 stoned US Army GIs in Germany. And because FZ sung about Alvin Lee I thought Ten Years After was a HardRock Band.

I don't love all the Guess Who catalogue (far from it), but for me this album embodies all the best things in early seventies live Rock, the perfect capture of the performance and the AMBIENCE (wich I think is the best capture ever. Even today, hearing the record, close your eyes and you can still feel you are THERE), the setlist, the cover of the album, the extended jams. A perfect testimony of its era... The seventies live albums by The J. Geils Band too, incredible ones..

I agree with many of your choices but where is the amazing Blue Oyster Cult? On Your Feet or on Your Knees Some Enchanted Evening Extraterrestrial Live All Brilliant Live albums Thanks

Mountain - Twin Peaks (live Osaka/Japan (1973) Be Bop deLuxe - Live In The Air Age (1977) Humble Pie - Rockin' The Fillmore (1971)

This list is good based on the specific description you gave of what classic hard rock is, but Running On Empty and At Fillmore East are tough to beat.

All great choices but for me I was more influenced by early-mid '70s albums like Uriah Heep Live, Grand Funk Live, Peter Frampton Comes Alive and Humble Pie Performance Rockin' the Filmore. I think Frampton Comes Alive is still one of the biggest selling live albums of all time.

LOVE your commentary on AC/DC. Spot on. It is one of the greatest live albums of all time. And Angus Young proves how fantastic and incendiary a player he is throughout. *The Jack solo, just for one, just slays you, and was a major inspiration to me personally. Bad Boy Boogie and Whole Lotta Rosie as well. But all through the record he kills it! Wish I had more time for all the superlatives the album deserves (I became a fan at 12 years old in 1978, with my discovery of Powerage at my local record shop...a life changer for me, just as it was with David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Kiss). Anyway, much to say and no time right now, but you already said so much... so well! • People who don't understand the sheer power, groove and excellence of AC/DC will find it in spades on this marvelous spine ripper of a live album Love the front (and humorous answer back) album cover too!

When one listens to it, then no explanation is needed. This recording I think is comparable to “so what” or “my favorite things “. At the party last night, I had my turn to change the direction of the music. I was putting on Jeff Beck live at Ronny Scott’s. Ja, and everyone was sleepy all of a sudden.

Aztecs Live (1971) at the Melbourne Town Hall (Australia). Blistering blues rock by Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, the world's loudest band with one of the best vocalists of all time. They damaged the building foundations and cracked windows of nearby buildings. Billy was a child prodigy as was drummer Gil Matthews, who toured America with Buddy Rich aged 14. Their double album Aztecs Live At Sunbury is probably even better (1972). Video from both albums is on KZread. Deep Purple played Sunbury in 1975: their roadies famously had a brawl with AC/DC. Queen played there in 1974. On the track, Someone Left me Crying/Time to Live, the Aztecs use the pipe organ of the Town Hall. Mindblowing. See the video.

I agree with your choices Andy and own all of those albums but what about Humble Pie? BTW talking about UFO what about UFO LIVE with Mick Bolton?

Oh, we could talk this list over for hours! We are of a similar vintage & I have nearly every one of these albums. I think people have been walking back the "Live in the Studio" knock on Lizzy for a while now & there are contemporary live recordings that show how good the Robbo era actually was. I saw the Thunder & Lightning tour & they were still great despite everything. I'd have L&D higher. I'd also find a slot for Hawkwind's "Space Ritual" and have the MSG Live at Budokan as an honourable mention. I'd also try to find a slot for Queen (who are hands down the best live act I ever saw when I caught them in 1980), although Live Killers is a bit sterile, the more recent releases from the Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, & Night at the Opera tours are much much better. A weird thing about the Whitesnake that you didn't mention is its two single live albums from two tours. The first LP from 78 was meant to be a Japan only release like Made in Japan or MSG but sold so well on import they expanded it & released it in the UK. Two different versions of Come on & Ain't no Love to compare... Anyway, great list.

Great list. Am still staggered The Who Live at Leeds is not on this list. How? Do you not like them? I will be checking out UFO and Free from your list. Thanks for getting me riled up. 😁👍

Atlanta Georgia R.U. Ready to Rock & Roll. Best intro to any live rock album ever.

Made in Japan (Deep Purple) Rainbow (On Stage) Rush (Exit Stage Left)

The proof is in the pudding. Barclay James Harvest always ornamented their compositions subtly and beautufully - sometimes to their aesthetic and critical detriment - but in BJH live they provided strong evidence that there was more than sufficient meat on the bone. Mel Pritchard was a gifted percussionist and drummer, who could hold his own with the best.

A good and concise reasoning of how the terms heavy/hard rock and metal were typically used, at least in the UK back then. I remember people trying to put me off buying The Song Remains The Same but I went against the advice and loved it. I get the Moby Dick thought but I still enjoyed it. Nice to see Free get a worthy mention, with the great Kossoff on guitar. On the same day that I originally purchased Live In The Heart Of The City, I also bought the Japanese Live At Hammersmith album, which I didn't know at the time made up the second disc of the double album. When I later complained to the manager in HMV Birmingham, I got some money back but kept both albums. If You Want Blood is the finest thing every put on vinyl. Powerage was the ultimate in production values from Vanda and Young in the studio and this live one carries it to the stage. I was so amazed but pleased a little later on when I saw that the BBC had recorded some of the concert at the Glasgow Apollo, buying a video tape of it at a record fair in Brum. Let There Be Rock live is the finest performance that you will ever see from any artist/band. I would put all these 10 on any list of my greatest, although I would likely put other Hendrix live offerings above this one. Exit Stage Left, Live Alive, All The Worlds A Stage, Live All Night Long, Live After Death, One More For/From The Road, Double Live Gonzo, Quo Live would all get great mentions too if expanded.

The list needs to be expanded to 20. Allman Bros, Humble Pie, Gov't Mule, Stones, Blah, Blah, Blah, C'mon Andy Japan brings out the best in rock bands, The Japanese love to rock. Some of the best live albums come out of Japan.

I would advise you to track down the four-record vinyl reissue of Zep's The Song Remains The Same which was released a few years ago and adds terrific versions of Black Dog, Heartbreaker, Misty Mountain Hop, Over The Hills And Far Away, Since I've Been Loving You and The Ocean to the mix. That's as definitive and representative as it gets.

I have it and hired armed guards to keep it safe! Added songs take it to whole other level!

Ramones “it’s alive” I love / live and dangerous too - saw them at Bradford St. George’s hall at this time

Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands of all time but, when you used the word “tedious” in reference to Moby Dick on TSRTS, I totally agree. In fact, I find some-not all-of their stretched-out live songs to be tedious after a while. It’s definitely “hit or miss”.

Some great choices (most of which are in my collection), surprised Uriah Heep Live January '73 didn't make the list but it's always down to personal taste

I have to put UFO Strangers in The Night No. 1. I've been listening to that album since its release. It never gets old.

Strangers In The Night is my No.1. But all of these are tremendous.

Ditto that! Strangers In The Night is the pinnacle of live, rock music - Schenker is nothing short of phenomenal! I've got The Who -Live At Leeds, a close second.

john martyn live at leeds is a great live album,no later studio overdubs,not really rock,though it spirals into space rock,when he hits the echoplex pedal

I absolutely love John Martyn...I need to do a video on One Owrld which for me is one of the great fusion/prog albums...

Nice list, nice to see there Free Live! One of my favorite records, perhaps the live record with the slower tunes and laid back tempos. Band of Gypsies it’s a great record, by I think Machine Gun (the first concert) it’s much better, but have been release five years ago. Thanks

You're my twin Andy. Thank You for being honest about Moby Dick. I remember being booed and chanted down for saying the solo didn't go anywhere. I'm a fan of John but more than his soloing, always felt that he added groove to Rock music that wasn't there before due to influences. Bonzo's Montreux from Coda is a prime example.

I love Bonzo's Montreux...it's way better than Moby Dick. Sabbath really copy Zep...Paranoid is a carbon copy of Communication Breakdown..and Rat Salad is their Moby Dick. But Rat Salad is much better, even better riff at the start and Bill Ward really solos! There is a lot of mythology around Bonham, but he was a true great...it was his feel and the way he created his grooves. He was like a rock Steve Gadd...

I'm totally with you on Band of Gypsies -- interesting coming from you as a pro drummer because I've had people tell me BoG is hurt by having Buddy Miles instead of Mitch Mitchell. (I completely disagree.) My own list would probably include Allman Bros/Fillmore East and especially The Who/Live at Leeds, but you might not consider those to be in "classic rock." There's another one with Buddy Miles I absolutely love and everyone else seems to hate -- Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles Live. A couple of early McLaughlin tunes (Marbles and Lava) and a couple of pop hits, but mostly just a lot of stoner jamming, with a hint of Miles Davis' Agharta and a splash of Sly and the Family Stone. It's a mess, but a glorious mess.

What about Ted Nugent with Double Live Gonzo and Michael Schenker Group One Night at Budokan, and Queen Live Killers?

The concert-going experience is another casualty of grid-assembled music. Regardless of tastes, a record shelf included Yessongs, KISS Alive, Wings Across America, DP Made In Europe .. especially satisfying for rural dwellers, far from the tour stops.

Made In Japan. The greatest live Lp ever. Those songs were never played better. The production given the year it was recorded in is absolutely sensational.

@@michaelcottle6270 I think the closest Rainbow ever came to that kind of musical interplay was at certain points on the On Stage live record, but behind the scenes throughout that tour Ritchie Blackmore & Cozy Powell hazed and tormented young Tony Carey to such a sadistic extent that the poor kid nearly had a nervous breakdown and had to quit the band.

I would be tempted to put Jimi's performance at Monterey ahead of BoG but both are fantastic. I had the Jimi and Otis Redding Live at Monterey album as a kid (I imagine the record label saying: they are both great, Black and dead, let's do it) and love both performances.

Since this is a personal list I won't hold it against you, but Uriah Heep Live 1973 should be on the list! :) Funny as I was typing this comment you mentioned they should be probably on the list. Talk about synchronicity!
