I was there with mom and my 2 brothers... June of 1969. My dad was in a tent on the infield, recording the whole show on a pair of 8-tracks. When the Isleys came out to close the night, much of the crowd bum-rushed the stage; someone got up on top of the grand piano and started dancing. Another 2 or 3 joined that one, and the Steinway went down.

The po-pos surrounded the stage, and the MC told the crowd still in the stands to start chanting, "Get off the field! Get off the field!"

The following week, there was a picture in Jet magazine (sister publication of Ebony). That piano was nothing but match sticks. Dad said he had to rooster-block some of the mob so he could save the tape machines.

The original post asked for our favorites, which in my case are different than those I like best. But wow - some great suggestions all in one place! A few thoughts:

Tone4 - BOC has a few live ones. I DO NOT like Some enchanted evening. I think ETL is their best and my fave.

KISS ALIVE vs ALIVE II - Alive is their best, and a top 10 live albums of all time. But my fave is ALIVE II.

Rush Exit stage left - Can't belive I didn't list that!!!!

Lot's of love for Maiden!

No love for Priest - Unleashed in the East?

And REO a Decade of Rock - the live side, gives a great example of how they can rock that most people don't know.

Is there a bad show at Budokan? Anyone?

[JOLLY]

OZZY - "Speak of the Devil

yep

[louthunder]

Most of these are great albums. My picks would be the crowd favorite Allman Bros. Live at the Filmore East and one nobody thought of,Grand Funk "ON TIME" What a great album. One of the greatest power trios of all time, yet the don't get the deserved recognition.IMHO! Give it a listen.

[H8Red442]

I usually hate live albums but Slayer's Decade Of Agression is the one and only I like and is also responsible for sparking my love affair with them way back then.

[DesertRat]

I almost forgot this one:

Government Mule - the Deepest End

It was recorded after Allen Woody died and the guest bass player list is amazing -
Victor Wooten, Jack Cassady, Roger Glover, Mike Gordon, Rob Wasserman, Jason Newstead, George Porter Jr.+ more ,+ the dirty Dozen Brass Band, Bernie Worrell, Sonny Landreth and David Hidalgo for icing.

Now that is a great memory!
