Am I forgetting anything? No, I'm not listing Peter Frampton in the top-10 :embarrassed:

Maybe you guys can change my mind, convince me I'm mistaken.

The Who - Live At Leeds (1970)
Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East (1971)
Deep Purple - Made In Japan (1972)
Kiss - Alive! (1975)
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - Live Bullet (1976)
Rush - All The World's A Stage (1976)
Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous (1978 )
Kansas - Two For The Show (1978 )
UFO - Strangers In The Night (1979)
Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East (1979)


And no, tompetty, AC/DC's If You Want Blood You Got It does not make the list. And also, Flamencology's opinion is wrong :embarrassed:
 
From the perspective of being a good example of capturing a live performance, these should be considered even if you're not a fan of the artists.

Cheap Trick Budokan
Neil Young Live At Massey Hall
Peter Frampton Live Alive!
Neil Young Live Rust

The Band The Last Waltz is more of a moment in time that is interesting to consider - the documentary and the concert recordings

Agree with you re: The Last Waltz, but I was talking about Rock of Ages.

If KISS, Bob Seger, Kansas, and Thin Lizzy are more essential than Jimi Hendrix, The Band, Neil Young, and the Rolling Stones, then I don't want to be right.

Well, to be fair, the KISS album isn't 'Live' by a long shot, so I might grant you that one, except for the fact that thousands of kids around the world stood in front of their mirrors playing air guitar and pretending they were KISS while listening to it. I doubt that happened with The Band :embarrassed: That KISS album helped spawn the metal scene as we know and love it today :)

The Kansas album is brilliant, especially the 30th Anniversary CD edition with an added disc. There were no fixes or overdubs at all, what you hear is what came straight from the truck, and it sounds wonderful, and the performances were great.
 
I thought about putting the Lou Reed one on there, Rock And Roll Animal. It's the only Lou Reed album I can stomach, and I actually like it quite a bit, surprisingly.
 
Grateful Dead - Europe 72

Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo

Talking Heads - The name of this band is Talking Heads

Blue Oyster Cult - On your Feet or on Your Knees

If you asked me to make a list of the best movies of the 1970s, I wouldn't gear that one towards teenage boys, either.

Agreed, thanks in no small part to the Hunter & Wagner team.
