Default Re: songs whose live versions are better

It really is...the Allmans don't get mentioned all that often, but that album is pure gold, some of duane's best playing...you can listen from beginning to and literally love each song...

Their rep(like all rock) is fading, but it doesn't deserve to(ditto).

I'm not even from Alabama or the south, I like Neil Young, and I don't think the song really makes its point, but I love Sweet Home Alabama. When he says turn it up, I do.

You know that's not the Allmans, right?

I'd nominate every song off Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town record, except for The Promised Land, which kind of drags live.

Otis Redding's "I've Been Loving You Too Long" is great on the album but blown away by the Monterey performance.

Pretty much anything by Sam Cooke, also The Blasters.

Really, any blues musician.

Someone else said, "I'm Not Like Anybody Else," by the Kinks, that's a good one, as well as "Till The End Of The Day" and "To The Bone."
