When talking about great rock live albums from the 70s, you have Kiss which launched themselves with Kiss Alive, Peter Frampton made double live album sales history, Thin Lizzy, mentioned earlier in the thread, had one of the greatest live rock albums; however, right after Thin Lizzy I would put this as one of the best live Rock albums.

John Ottway is insane live, not sure how you could capture the experience…

I loved him from the first time I heard really free. The back of my neck hurts from smiling so much when I exit his gigs.

The original version of The Who Live at Leeds was perfect, short sharp and snappy. The expanded editions are too much of a good thing for me, less is more…
Make a playlist of the original running order and you will see what I mean.

A couple of more or less ‘fake’ live recordings now (!) Well, fake in that they were recorded in front of an audience, but in a studio not in a venue. The first one less so, because it’s right there in the title, the second one less so - they really pretended it was recorded in a venue called “The Club” (which is a real venue) but it too was recorded in front of friends and associates in the studio, to give it that live feel. Both are great!

Agreed, the other one that came to mind in this regard was DP’s Made in Japan.
