Click to expand.The Mar Y Sol Festival is a long time favorite. Unfortunately festival releases such as this one or the Isle of Wight/Atlanta Pop Festival - First Great Rock Festivals of the Seventies from Columbia seem to be licensing nightmares.Still, some material has made it out. The Allman Brothers released their entire set from The Atlanta Festival and a few cuts from the Johnny Winter set were on his box set True to the Blues. Song listing for the three album set is available at.As to Mar Y Sol, one of the greatest festival sets ever released. The album opens with J. Geils, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dr.

John Coltrane Newport 63 Rarest Horse

John and B.B. Just a killer first side. The set really demonstrates the variety that was FM radio in the late sixties/early seventies.As far as I know the only place to get the Mahavishnu cut is on The Complete Columbia Collection. That version of Inner Mounting Flame tacks on a hyper-kinetic rendition of The Noonward Race from the Mar Y Sol Festival album. The ELP set is out there as well.Again, the set list is at s.

Crosby-Nash Live isn't on everyone's list, but it does it for me. Love the backing of 'The Mighty Jitters'. The release gives Kortchmar, Lindley, Drummond, Kunkel and especially Doerge a chance to shine. They really stretch Deja-Vu into a different direction, opening with what seems to be a slight nod to jazz-fusion. Both Crosby and Nash seem really engaged when the number kicks in. Lee Shore works even better. And the two names in the title are secure enough to get out of the way of the band.This isn't one of the most popular live albums ever, but the 2000 release contained pretty solid remastering and added two really strong tracks.

Surprised nobody has yet mentioned. (or, maybe doesn't remember?)A great 'good times' concert album. You can hear the band tapping their feet on the wooden stage, audience clapping in time. Not quite sure how to classify it - not funk, not 'British blues,' not 'greatest hits' (although there were some Top 40 songs in it, all of them done better than the AM radio versions.It's sorta in the same genre as.which a lot of people thought they 'were supposed to buy' because it was a charity event. But it was a huge seller at Discount Records in Stamford CT where I worked when it came out.And also.which unfortunately languishes in obscurity now.

Cornea monitor drivers. All three are recorded live, and contain nothing but FZ guitar solos so you don't have to sit through the stupid stuff to get to the only stuff you really wanted to hear in the first place!!I noticed that The Last Waltz wasn't mentioned.

I assume it's because this thread is about records 'probably not in your collection'. I loved that album. If for no other reason, it (the film) introduced me to Muddy Waters. I see only three of these albums have been mentioned in this thread. That's a good enough reason to bump it.Recorded Live - Ten Years AfterMiles of Aisles - Joni MitchellFrom The Hungry i - Kingston TrioYesshows - YesIn Person - Friday and Saturday Nights - Miles DavisOne From The Vault - Grateful DeadFM/Live - Climax Blues BandTravels - Pat Metheny GroupReunion at Carnegie Hall - The WeaversIn Concert - The Beach BoysEDIT: I just noticed that the title of each of these records alludes to their being live. I guess that is true for almost all concert records.

Funny I never saw that before. It was just too obvious.
