The Best Live Albums

The live sets validated the artists' personae: They made regular albums, sure, but when the studio time was done they got on the bus to hit the road and bring the music to the people! Blue-collar rockers worked it on out in the hinterlands, shakin' the souls of the kids in Cleveland, Kansas City, and Topeka. The greater rock royalty appeared, magisterially, in world cultural capitals like San Francisco, London, or Tokyo. But all got down with the real folks, numbing them into submission with earsplitting intros, endless guitar and drum solos, an onstage expletive or two to stick it to the man, and all the hits.
