I'd say live recordings from the audience that were made with the consent of (and maybe additional rules made by) the band member(s) and not sold, like the live music archives can be linked to for download. Otherwise obviously not.
I assume it's ok to link to youtube videos, didn't find anything against it on the FAQ section of this site.
And of course we can talk about regular Live Albums or particular live versions songs you really loved. So what are your favorites?
Tim Buckley - Dream Letter: Live in London 1968
I became a fan of his music several months ago and was completely floored by that live album. It feels like there is such a energy not even found on the studio albums, and that he really enjoyed with that audience.
It's also the first vinyl I have where a side is longer than 30 minutes - Sides B and D are both 33 minutes long.
Notable tracks:
Pleasant Street / You Keep Me Hanging On
Hallucinations
Allman Brothers Band: Live at Fillmore East
Legendary stuff. Whipping Post, 23 minutes long and still as good as hearing it for the first time. In fact, the entire second half of the concert recording is pure magic. Don't have the deluxe edition with "Mountain Jam" on it, I wonder if it's also as great.
Notable tracks:
Whipping Post, of course (can't find a video, though)
And for a single track, I choose Iron & Wine - "Woman King", Bonaroo 2008.
The best version they have ever recorded, giving it a jazz influence and combining it seamlessly with "Wolves" (unfortunately cut short in these series of videos, but I know that it's about 8-9 minutes) to form a massive, wonderful song.
