[MCFCinUSA]

and for the girlies - we go back to the days when Derby County were league champions & Big Joe (the original one) was in goal.. did you know this guy once had to cancel a concert because his voice got better?

Van the Man. The Last Waltz.

Everything on that album counts, but I think 'still I'm Sad' on Rainbow Live( the one recorded in Japan, not Germany) is Dio at his finest

Not a huge Stones fan, but tough to beat this one:

and how about this powerhouse (where the drummer manages *not* to pass out over his kit) still prefer the studio versions to some of this stuff, but if you were in that crowd I concede you're at something special as opposed to being in your living room/shower/etc:

If that is the version from The Kids are Alright film, it's a great shout for one of the best live recordings of a song.

If I had to pick one live song from an album, it would have to be Skynyrd's Freebird from One More From the Road; which is the definitive version of a classic. The moment where all the guitars climax then explode never fails to produce a touch of frisson; much like the segue from Cowboy Song to The Boys are Back in Town on Lizzy's Live & Dangerous.

I would struggle to single out one song from all the gigs that I have actually attended.

Saw them on this tour at The Apollo, absolutely amazing.

Although Brian Johnson's good. Bon Scott is far superior
