I just realized looking at your username that you may be a Walter Rossi fan? I've been a fan since the 70s, I think he's one of the greatest guitarists of all time! He plays one of my top 10 favorite solos on Silent I Wait - simply amazing!

[@seagullpoet]

Double live Gonzo….older brother’s album. I was so young. I listened to that over and over. Loved it. It sounded so wild. And I loved how the record said it was recorded in different places. My older brother took me to my first concert……Nugent 😛

Thanks Darcy, another great show! KISS - Alive! is the album that got me into music seriosly back in 1977 and therefore is my fave Live album of all times. Other great live albums that I love are: AC/DC - If You Want Blood You Got It Iron Maiden - Live After Death Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East Queen - Live Killers Rainbow - On Stage Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous UFO - Strangers In The Night Keep up the great work and Rock on Darcy! 🤘🤘

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

Kiss-Alive! was my very first live album. My mother also bought me "The Originals" at the same time. Stupid kid I was, I never took care of it. I wish I still had it, as it's a sought after collector's item. To find one in mint shape with all the cards and stickers is almost impossible.

[@RJW1967]

Great list Darcy, here's a few I would add.. Sabbath- Past Lives (the super deluxe box sets are great for live extras) Blackfoot-Highway Song Live AC/DC-If You Want Blood Motorhead-No Sleep Till Hammersmith Deluxe box set Adore Scorpions Tokyo Tapes and Priest Unleashed

[@mikegibson5387]

I have everything you showed except the Accept Staying a Life. Will check that out. 2 others I’d like to mention are Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous and Blue Oyster Cult On Your Feet or on Your Knees. Both fantastic. Great video. Stay Heavy.

Some killers here. Live After Death is fantastic. One of my favorite live albums is Metal Church live 1986. And also W.A.S.P. Live... In The Raw. Ozzy - Tribute, Kreator - Live in Berlin 1990, Sabbat - Live in Berlin 1990. Not a big fan of live albums in general, but there was a lot of good one back in the days. Great video. Cheers.

Great stuff, Darcy! I’m right with you regarding UFO. I finally picked up “Strangers in the Night” a few years back. It definitely lives up to its reputation. Another one in that category for me is “Live and Dangerous” from Thin Lizzy. I’m not familiar with much of their catalog, but it’s a great live album!🍻🤘🏼

It is extremely hard to limit such a list to 10, or even 15 albums, but you did a very good job. Scorpions' "Tokyo Tapes" and Rainbow's "On Stage" are two of the must-have titles in every Heavy Metal fan's collection, in my opinion. Along with 50 other titles we can easily think of 🤣

I thought they blended the older tracks and newer once’s extremely well!!!

[@hsmetalhb2036]

so cool... I was waiting, if you had the Accept Live-Album on your list, and there it is! I remember discovering Accept back in the late 80s as a teenager, and I was sooo pissed that Accept had disbanded in 1989, before I got the chance to see them live. This Album was on heavy rotation when I was 16 or so. I totally agree with what you said about the Album, which goes for Unleashed... and Live after Death as well!

[@boscocfh]

Great picks Darcy! I know you have got into Obituary lately, but i cant remember if you have picked up their live album called Dead from 1998. It was recorded in 97 on the Back From the Dead tour. Im not big on Live albums either but that album sounds great. LISTENABLE records reissued it on vinyl in 2018 if you can find a copy. Some of my other favorite live albums. Pantera - Live at Dynamo open air 1998 Corrosion of Conformity - Live Volume Alice in Chains - Unplugged Judas Priest - 98 live Meltdown (love the ripper era) Machine Head - Hellalive Ozzy - Live & Loud

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I have Obituary Dead, it’s fantastic! To me they’re live sound is the closest to they’re studio sound I’ve ever heard! Your right about the live Priest stuff with Ripper, actually, both of those live albums are good. Thanks as always my friend 🤘

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Darcy!! killer live albums, i think the 70 and early 80's were the best years for this type of releases, imo.....I still need to add to my collection that Accept live recording, it's really good and it almost reads like a greatest hits. Also one i like very much is ACDC's "If you want Blood...." killer stuff from the Bon Scott era, also Helloween's "Live in UK" only, it0s to short. cheers and be well

[@Swullmark]

For me there are so many amazing live albums (cds, dvds, etc) across genres, but I'll try to narrow it down to just three here. Metallica - Cunning Stunts: I think this is one of the greatest live album / dvds of all time. Probably my personal favorite at least! Despite being in Metallica's Load era, I think they were at the top of their game, they played a killer setlist, the cinematography, lighting, cuts, pyrotechnics and stunts all added so much to the show. The house lights on and a jam / So What to open up, a Kill/Ride medley later, it has everything you could ever want as a superfan. Also Metallica just sounds better live, Newsted's backing vocals add SO much heaviness and power. Slipknot - Disasterpieces: This was the band at their most raw and heavy, the complete performance on DVD with killer audio, mixing, camera work once again. Sid mooning the crowd, crowd surfing, climbing the scaffolding, going insane. Joey with the spinning drum setup. The entire band having mounted head cameras on their masks for a POV view. Perfect, brutal setlist... and it was snowing on them half the time, it's just evil looking. I cannot express how much I love this one, it's my second favorite of all time in the live category. Garth Brooks - Double Live, & Triple Live: These two albums both are amazing and I cannot pick between the two. Depends on if I want older more rough voiced Garth or younger more high pitched Garth. Tracklist is great as well, and as someone who grew up on Garth I can never get enough of these. The first two are DVDs that were only released as CDs during anniversary editions I believe. Or you just had to rip the DVD audio haha

[@GRockVC]

Outstanding choices there Darcy. All killer live albums. UFO, Rush and Maiden are some of the highlights for me. And yes some live albums contain the best live versions of songs! Some of my favourites are Saxon - St George's Day, Night Demon - Live Darkness and Alice Cooper - Brutally Live. Sounds like you've got enough for a part 2 at some point.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Saxon are a great live band, they might even have more live albums than Iron Maiden! Yes, I’m sure there will be a part 2 🤘 Cheers GRock

[@marcdiego1]

My first live album I heard was No Sleep til Hammersmith by Motörhead. My 2nd one was Judas Priest Unleashed in the East. Unfortunately both aren't double live albums. But the effect they had on me was special. My favorite live album though is Iron Maiden's Live after Death.

[@haxan6663]

Some excellent choices. I would rank Unleashed in the East, Tokyo Tapes and Strangers in the Night amongst my favourite albums of all time. I don't class myself as a Saxon fan, although I have seen them live a few times. They always have my respect for the fact that I once went to see them at a small venue and the gig clashed with another, much higher profile one. I was one of 6 people in the audience. Saxon came out and gave it their all and this remains one of the best gigs that I have ever attended.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

The smaller gigs I’ve went to over the years have always been the most fun, you know the ones where you hurt the next day … yeah those haha! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers from Canada

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

No order: Motorhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live Saxon - The Eagle has Landed Jethro Tull - Bursting Out Utopia - Another Live Kansas - Two for the Show Whitesnake - Live in the Heart of the City Rainbow - On Stage Kiss - Alive Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From the Road

[@skyscraper38]

Great selection. I agree with most of them. 👍🏼 Maybe I’d put World Wide Live as my Scorpions choice, although it’s a close call and definitely ThinLizzy Life/Live from 1983 would be in there. Metallica Live Sh*t, Binge and Purge is superb too. 👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😊

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Believe me I had World Wide Live on my mind when I did this video, such a great live album. Maybe it’s time to do a part 2 lol. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, much appreciated 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

[@JJBolli1]

I can't argue with any of those picks. All great. However, I must admit, I've never heard Tokyo Tapes. I will have to track it down.

[@kowalsolosolo]

HAWKWIND-Live Chronicles,an amazing live album,they sound pretty much like a hard-rock band. I highly recommend this album. The Devin Townsend Project-Live at Plovdiv-a truly amazing experience! Arch Enemy-As The Stages Burn-an amazing live album! I also love Judas Priest "'Unleashed In The East"", Manowar ""Hell On Stage"",Thin Lizzy "'Live/Life"',Rush ""Exit Stage Left'',Ozzy's ""Tribute to Randy Rhoads '" is pretty amazing,Budgie "Live In San Antonio""is a good live abum.Alien Sex Fiend and their ""Too Much Acid?"" is probably the most insane live album I have ever listened to.

[@albertampel4175]

Great choices my friend! I´ve been listening to all the "Eagles..." parts by Saxon in the last couple of days. I recently found a cheap Japan CD copy of "Unleashed..." by Priest that has some bonus material, it makes the album even better!!! I would love to see Metallica´s "Seattle 89" show released as a propper audio version. That´s only released in the "Binge and Purge" boxset as a video tape. What a fantastic show!!! See you next friday, I´m looking forward to discuss some German Thrash with you guys!!!

Hiya D6!…I always think BOC when live albums are in conversation, specifically “Some Enchanted Evening”(1978)…My favs reflect your (great) tastes as well-1. Scorpions “Tokyo Tapes”(1978)…Still sounds fresh and exciting as ever, like it was recorded yesterday!…I dig 1980’s Rush so I’ve always gravitated to…2. “A Show Of Hands”(1989)…Some killer renditions of “Power Windows”(1985) material, an exceptional and very underrated album there..3. Judas Priest “Unleashed”(1979)…It speaks for itself!…Stay Heavy D6

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

[@JoshKeech]

Great picks Darcy! I'm also not the biggest Live album guy either, but I have picked up a couple over the last year or so. Live after death is probably the greatest and most popular live album of all time. My dad has always loved Exit stage left by Rush, and If you want blood by AC/DC (which I have listened to and it's great!). A more recent one I'd say would be The bastard tracks by Death Angel, and Live in Richmond by Lamb of God, both great live albums with top production! 😊🤘🏻 Forgot Ozzy Tribute!!!!

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

Oh yeah that Death Angel is great, can’t stand Lamb Of God, his voice puts me in an instant bad mood lol. Cheers Josh 🤘

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 yeah man the Death Angel is awesome, I don't know if you've seen the DVD but that is even better as the guys talk about each song.

[@ShejtanVrbaski]

Speaking of Iron Maiden "Revelations" - song, in context of Live After Death - album, the track on CD/Vinyl is not from the same performance featured on the concert video (they performed several nights in row at Long Beach Arena). I remember the argument with my big brother who claimed I was hallucinating while I called him tone-deaf since he couldn't tell the difference (easiest difference to tell is the way Bruce was doing his "Yeah-yeah-yeah" pattern during the intro of the song).

Also two more very important metal live albums to me were included; Saxon The Eagle Has Landed and Judas Priest Unleashed in the East. I have all of these except for Raven and Accept. And i may even pick up Accept if it's anywhere near as good as the other legendary live album recorded and released in similar way; Ramones It's Alive, it's a killer album. Pasi

[@blackmorerules]

Fantastic list. Great video. If you rate Strangers in the Night that highly you will also love UFO's Werewolves of London live album that came out when Schenker rejoined the band around 1998. It was just re-released. Strangers would also make my Top 10, but I've heard Werewolves hundreds of times and I rate it at least equal. And the guitar tone for Schenker on Werewolves is absolute perfection and the sound is perfect. The track Pushed to the Limit off it is could easily have been on Strangers, it was that good. I could babble on about nearly every other one you showed, but I will stop here. Oh gee, I have to add the song Burning off the Accept is an absolute 10/10. I can't say I'm an Accept fan [dohh], but THAT song is true rock perfection. I've seen them live twice, but they didn't play it, sighh.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

The guitar tone on Werewolves is great, more grittier sound! Peter Baltes has joined U.D.O. as the full time bass player, two legends reunited! When they go out as Dirkschneider and play old Accept songs hopefully they play Burning 🔥 Just Like Fire!!

[@shizzazle165]

May Christ be with you man

A pretty good list overall. Raven never quite did it for me but I never got to try the live album, so may dip in and see. Accept never had many memorable tunes for my taste.

Megadeth that one night live. ZZ top live in texas. AC-DC live . Deep purple made in Japan sounds great but I hate the long doodling dragging out songs. Heaven and hell radio city

IMO the only live album that beats Life After Death is Live in Athens by Iced Earth. Never seen a band not just playing great but totally eclipsing what they have done in the studio in terms of audio output, energy and precision.

I have most of the Iced Earth studio albums, I really need to add that live one to my collection. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 no probs ma man, absolutely essential. Is like listening to your favourite Iced Earth tracks but on steroids in terms of sound.

Live Albums lost their relevance today i guess.... back then without KZbin or the Internet in general it was the only way to get a bit of that mystic live feel at home. Today i dont care for live Albums anymore, but im emotional attached to some old ones😉 01 iron maiden- live after death 02 Bad Brains- youth are getting restless 03 Motörhead- no sleep till hammersmith 04 Agnostic Front- live at cbgbs 05 Venom- Eine kleine Nachtmusik 06 Hot Water Music- live at the hardback 07 Black Sabbath- live evil 08 Judas Priest- Priest live the 2cd (yes, listen to so much extreme music... i prefer Pop priest) 09 Poison Idea- durch Courage 10 Destruction- live without sense In no particular order

Hi there hope you don't mind I promoted your channel on my FB page.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I don’t mind in the least, thank you for thinking of me I really appreciate that 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

[@747jono]

@darcysixstringsninelives3493 No problem my friend. Its great when people talk about music I hate reaction channels, I don't want to see someone with headphones on nodding their head and normally interrupting or talking over not clever and not entertaining.

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I know what you mean, or somebody that’s reading directly off Wikipedia 😂 that’s not entertaining either, do they think people don’t know haha!

[@JeanAlainXavier-ze9jc]

Accept so good also

[@darcysixstringsninelives3493]

I won’t argue that haha. Definitely my favourite German band! Thanks for watching 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy

Live albums without the video just have zero appeal for me. They have no context. Only 2 albums live albums could I ever say I've really properly connected with and it was because it was the only things available to me at the time. In those instances the songs do the talking and you're greatful for anything. In many shows the adrenaline takes over and they rush through songs and on the Helloween Pumpkins alive I spotted around 5 occasions where Kiske was completely lost with his lines. At a show standing 30 feet away I can forgive all that. The idea of "supporting the band" also gets mentioned when people buy them. The thing is, when it's a half-arsed job (see lockdown live packages). Those were all bare mininum releases from what I've seen. That's more like abusing loyalty.

live after death is a weird one. the band performances are outstanding, but the vocals are awful, even with all the overdubs/repairs. bruce is out of breath, out of key and struggles to fit all the syllables into each line. still a classic, but if i was bruce, i would not be proud of this record. unleashed in the east is arguably the best live album ever recorded. even if all of halford's vocals were redone in a studio, the performances are outstanding. unleashed was basically released so the band would get publishing royalties for the sad wings material, which is why the bulk of the album is stuff from sad wings (which was a shit sounding record-the unleashed versions destroy the studio takes)

[@Rikrik1138]

That’s why I prefer Flight 666 over Live After Death, because the vocals are top notch, and it’s most of the same songs.

[@cbr9914]

@@Rikrik1138 yeah, it's a toss up.....the band was way better on LAD, though
