For many music fans, a live show is one of the best ways to listen to music. Playing a record is great, but it just can't compare to the roar of the crowd, the fantastic improvisations, the Audience Participation, the band saying things between songs, or the smell of certain illicit substances. But what do you do if the band you want to see live has broken up, or you can't afford to see them, or you live at the other side of the world, or the concert you want to see was a once-in-a-lifetime event that will never be repeated again? Well, you buy the live album, of course! Live albums are pretty self-explanatory - they are recorded at a show, normally coming from the soundboard. Some live albums are recorded at just one concert, while others are recorded at several different concerts (sometimes spliced together to make them seem like they came from the same show). Sometimes the songs sound pretty close to how they are on the record, but with some artists, live versions can take on a completely different feel. (For example: the studio version of "Whipping Post" by The Allman Brothers Band is about five minutes long, a pretty standard length for a song from that era. The live version on At Fillmore East? 22 minutes!) Some artists like to spice up their live albums by rearranging the songs, such as playing them unplugged or adding a symphony orchestra. The quality and importance of live albums varies greatly depending on the artist and genre of music. Many live albums are seen as inessential or just quick cash-ins for the record label. It may even be a Contractual Obligation Project, or in some cases a way for a band to quickly terminate a contract and move elsewhere. Even more if the artist just died and everybody is mourning him, the studios always have some spare unreleased live recordings to take advantage of the moment. But in other cases, especially in rock and jazz, they are seen as just important as their studio albums. Some huge touring bands, like The Grateful Dead and Pearl Jam have many more live albums than studio recordings! Often, classic artists like Bob Dylan and The Who will unearth live albums long after they were actually recorded and release them for fans. Another factor are the edits done after the recording: some artists may edit the songs so much that it basically turns into a standard studio album with crowd roars at the begining and end, while others may prefer to release it mostly untouched, so that it feels as close to the real experience as possible. Many fans like to make bootlegs, unofficial live albums recorded at a show without the record company's permission. Artists have had varying opinions on this, with some hating bootlegs to the extent that they try to sue bootleggers and some encouraging bootleggers so much that they will have their own "official bootlegs" on their website for download. Some bands will occasionally take bootlegs and release them officially. Be warned before you give bootlegs a try - because they are not officially released, the sound quality usually varies. |

The second, aptly titled Seconds Out, was released concurrently with guitarist Steve Hackett's departure from the band, and thus effectively acted as the final note for the band's Progressive Rock period before their shift to increasingly radio-friendly material (though not without some leftover prog touches) from ...And Then There Were Three... onwards. | |

Most of Please Please Me was this. After the band's second single, "Please Please Me", shot to the top of the UK charts, EMI wanted an album in a hurry. The Beatles and George Martin convened in the studio on February 11, 1963 and over a little less than ten hours recorded ten more songs, which were added to the A and B sides of the first two singles and put out as an album. The original plan was to record the band actually performing at a local club, but sound issues hampered this. | |

Elvis Presley Has had many official live releases both during and after his death. Among them: his 1968 comeback special, In Person which is from Elvis' first Las Vegas engagement in 1969; On Stage which features extra tracks from his early Vegas years; "An Afternoon at the Garden" and "As Recorded Live at Madison Square Garden" from 1972; his famous global satellite show Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii from 1973; As Recorded live On Stage in Memphis from 1974 and Elvis in Concert from his last concert tour in 1977. And that's not even counting the multitude of bootleg albums released by Follow that Dream records which to date has released dozens of bootleg and soundboard recordings of Elvis shows. The most notorious concert album in his career is Having Fun with Elvis on Stage, a 35 minute collection of nothing but Elvis cracking jokes with the audience without any music or context. | |

David Byrne put out four live albums so far during his solo career. Two of them, Live from Austin, Texas and Live at Carnegie Hall, are archival releases respectively taken from the supporting tour for Look into the Eyeball and a one-off performance with Caetano Veloso in 2004. The other two, Everything That Happens Will Happen on This Tour – David Byrne on Tour: Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno and David Byrne's American Utopia On Broadway (Original Cast Recording), were more contemporary releases taken from the supporting tour for Everything That Happens Will Happen Today and the American Utopia Broadway residency, respectively. The latter is functionally an expanded version of the live EP "...The Best Live Show Of All Time" —NME (included with the deluxe edition of American Utopia) and acts as a companion piece to the Spike Lee-directed Concert Film David Byrne's American Utopia. And yes, the album titles are all that long. |

The first, Plays Live, documented the supporting tour for Security. Some CD releases truncate it to the one-disc Plays Live Highlights, which officially supplanted the full version in the 2002 remastering campaign; the full double-disc album wouldn't return to print until 2021. Plays Live notably features the only officially-released version of "I Go Swimming", an outtake from Melt (the studio version of which remains unreleased outside of bootlegs). | |

Rush has had several live releases going back to 1976, with their first live release All the World's a Stage. They would release a live album every few years, one of their most notable coming after a six-year hiatus as a result of drummer Neil Peart's personal tragedies. Rush in Rio was released in 2003, featuring their well-received performance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil the previous year. | |

Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Jajouka: Despite its name, Brian Jones merely produced it and does not actually appear anywhere on the album. It's really live album for the Master Musicians of Jajouka, a Moroccan folk group, but the recordings were shortened somewhat because the actual length of these chants can stretch out to several hours. | |

Bill Evans had several live albums but two of them, Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby, were not only recorded at the same venue with the same band on the same day (Evans on piano, Scott LaFaro on bass, Paul Motion on drums, June 25, 1961), but are the most famous and most beloved albums he ever made. Tragically, bass player LaFaro was killed in a car accident eleven days after they were recorded. | |

Queen: The most famous one is Live Killers, situated near the middle of their career and produced by the band themselves. The album features performances from the supporting tour for Jazz, many of which were overdubbed in the studio. Live Magic, taken from the supporting tour for A Kind of Magic, is special because some of the recordings were made at Freddie Mercury's last concerts ever, but the editing is heavy-handed with many songs having verses removed. In the 21st century, several new live albums of varying quality made from 1970s or 1980s recordings have appeared. One of the most memorable Queen live albums is the posthumous release Live at Wembley '86, recorded from their second of two shows at Wembley Stadium in July 1986; two tracks were previously featured on Live Magic in shortened forms. A re-release titled Live at Wembley Stadium (which was released along with a DVD of the show) also featured tracks from the previous night's show as well as a performance of the Hungarian folk song "Tavaszi Szél Vizet �raszt" at a later show in Budapest, Hungary. |

Iron Maiden: Live After Death is considered to be one of the greatest live albums ever made, receiving universal acclaim from music critics and fans alike. It was also on Loudwire's retrospective list for the "Top 10 Best Metal Albums of 1985", holding the distinction of being the ONLY live album to make it on that list. It received perfect scores from Sputnikmusic and Kerrang!, both notably agree that it is possibly the greatest live album to ever have been made, while AllMusic rewarded four and a half stars commenting that it is easily one of Heavy Metal's best live albums. It has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA. | |

The second, Secret World Live, acted as a companion piece to the Concert Film Secret World. The album features a slightly different tracklist from the latter, swapping out "San Jacinto" for "Red Rain".

Genesis has had six live albums over the course of their career. The first, simply titled Live, was created in fairly short order (to buy time for the band to finish recording their fifth studio album, Selling England by the Pound) from tapes of the band recorded by King Biscuit Flower Hour (a syndicated radio show based on live concerts). Plans for a double-sided album were nixed fairly early on to ensure teenagers could afford it. The second, aptly titled Seconds Out, was released concurrently with guitarist Steve Hackett's departure from the band, and thus effectively acted as the final note for the band's Progressive Rock period before their shift to increasingly radio-friendly material (though not without some leftover prog touches) from ...And Then There Were Three... onwards. Their third live album, Three Sides Live, incorporated a new studio side of non-album songs; when the album was released in Europe (where those songs had been released as singles and EP's), it was instead with a fourth side of older live recordings. The Way We Walk was unusual in that it was a Distinct Double Album split across two separate releases. The first volume, The Shorts, contained performances of their pop rock material, with the longest track being just over seven minutes. The second volume, The Longs, featured Epic Rocking Progressive Rock songs, with only one track being shorter than ten minutes (the 6-minute "Drum Duet"). |

Fishmans: Otokachi no Wakare 98.12.28 is their most well-known album, and the top-rated live album on RateYourMusic. The show was intended as a farewell show to their bassist. It ended up being their final concert period, as Sato, their singer, passed away three months later. | |

The most famous one is Live Killers, situated near the middle of their career and produced by the band themselves. The album features performances from the supporting tour for Jazz, many of which were overdubbed in the studio. | |

Mike Oldfield only had one official live albumnote discounting live cuts included on deluxe editions of his studio albums, that being 1979's Exposed. The album features his most recent work— "Incantations" and the non-album disco single "Guilty"— as well as his most famous work, Tubular Bells. It features a full orchestra and choir. | |

Sid Vicious' only album is Sid Sings, a hastily cobbled together compilation of mostly live recordings and one studio track. The record was released in the wake of his death and it really shows. The audio quality is lo-fi. | |

Live Magic, taken from the supporting tour for A Kind of Magic, is special because some of the recordings were made at Freddie Mercury's last concerts ever, but the editing is heavy-handed with many songs having verses removed. In the 21st century, several new live albums of varying quality made from 1970s or 1980s recordings have appeared. | |
