Queens (official) live releases get a bit of a mixed reaction from fans. So would any of them get into your all time top 5 favourite live albums?
Mine are:-
1; Humble Pie - Rockin' The Filmore
2; Queen - Live Killers
3; Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous
4; Whitesnake - Live In The Heart Of The City
5; Rush - All The World's A Stage.
Wembley and Live at the Bowl wouldn't even be in my top ten. I don't know what it is, but I can watch live videos or dvd's of queen all day, but the audio versions dont grab me as much, perhaps it's because the visual element of a Queen gig was so important. The exception is Live Killers and I'm sure that the main reason for that is because I saw them on the Crazy Tour where the set list was more or less the same so I can 'feel' the atmosphere in my head as I'm listening to it.
How about it, top 5's anyone ?
