The quality of live albums usually range from bad to terrible, but there are some of them that can be just great. I was listening to the Bob Dylan 300th, or maybe it was 30th anniversary set. I was set back on my heels (no mean feat when you consider I was sitting at the time) by how good some of it was. "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" sung by Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Roseanne Cash was just wonderful. Stevie Wonder on the other hand is awful, but there is A LOT of great music that even sounds good.
What are your favorites, and why?
