Not sure that it's the best, but this one's up there:

Dave_Matthews_Live_At_Red_Rocks.jpg


Just a great collection of songs played with incredible force and creativity. Tim Reynolds guested (?) on guitar the entire show and he and Dave have a great chemistry between them. The show opens with the best version of Seek Up I've ever heard (my personal favorite DMB song), and is capped off with a haunting, very original cover of All Along the Watchtower. Everything in between is a shining example of what this band was capable of at their peak.

Disc one
  1. "Seek Up" – 13:29
  2. "Proudest Monkey" – 7:04
  3. "Satellite" – 5:07
  4. "Two Step" – 9:21
  5. "The Best of What's Around" – 6:18
  6. "Recently" – 6:12
  7. "Lie in Our Graves" – 8:19
  8. "Dancing Nancies" – 9:12
  9. "Warehouse" – 8:04
Disc two

  1. "Tripping Billies" - 4:49
  2. "Drive In Drive Out" - 6:20
  3. "Lover Lay Down" - 6:23
  4. "Rhyme and Reason" - 7:03
  5. "#36" - 12:55
  6. "Ants Marching" - 6:52
    Encore:
  7. "Typical Situation" - 7:01
  8. "All Along the Watchtower" (Bob Dylan) - 7:03

Kansas' Two for the Show is one of my all time favorites.

My absolute favorite Live album that I've owned (I don't buy many) was Ozzy Tribute.

It's not the best live album, but since it's the first live LP I liked I'll name it.

All The World's a Stage -RUSH

Nine Inch Nails "And All That Could Have Been"

NIN concerts are always mindblowing and this CD didn't disappoint. Probably my all-time favorite "group" (NIN is Trent Reznor and the various artists that he has play his music).

The answer to this is easy...Johnny Cash. No one else would have the balls to do live shows for albums in front of prisoners in maximum security prisons and sing songs that riled them up and bashed the guards and wardens.

At Folsom Prison and At San Quentin. Take your pick, no one has ever done a better live album and no one will.
