<title>Grab Your Lighters And Dissect This - The Top 50 Live Albums Of All Time (Trees And Things)</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2006/11/5/10366/0646</link>
<description>&lt;blockquote>&lt;i>The art of the live album seems antiquated these days. Back in the 70s, artists like Kiss, Cheap Trick and Peter Frampton found their greatest success with live albums, enjoying multi-platinum sales and even spinning off radio hits, while other artists like The Allman Brothers and the MC5 enjoyed their greatest artistic and critical successes with live albums as well. However, somewhere along the line, in between popular rock moving away from the ideals of virtuosity and pure energy (and popu</description>

<description>By all means express your opinion, and kudos for being upfront about your biases, but why on earth would the writers at &lt;i>Stylus&lt;/i> want to "suck up" to Bob Dylan? Why is his presence there "absolute bullshit"? Aside from a brief nod toward Dylan's occas</description>

<description>Until recently I would have agreed with the sentiment of this comment. &#160;Dylan to me was overrated, and that I could never believe that a live record of his could be so significant.&lt;p>&#10;Then a few months ago I saw the Martin Scorcese documentary on Dyla</description>

<description>Definitely agree with "&lt;b>How the West Was Won.&lt;/b>" I think one mark of a great live album is if it makes you like songs that you did not like on the studio album. In this case, I have to say that Zep's performance of "In My Time of Dying," a song which I</description>
