Russell Fox has insomnia earlier this week and put it to good use by re-organzing his CD collection and gracing us with an interesting post of live rock double (rock) albums in his collection.
He asked for suggestions, and since he gave me some great leads and rates the Allman Brothers at Fillmore as the greatest live rock double album, I decided to search my collection and my memory.
Derek and the Dominos Live at the Fillmore
Butterfield Blues Band, Live (1970) after the departure of Michael Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop and the addition of a horn section.
Al Kooper and Michael Bloomfield, The Live Adventures--recorded over 3 mights at Fillmore West. A follow-up to the Super Session.
Grateful Dead, Live in Europe 1972. It was 3 LPs so perhaps it doesn't qualify and I've never actually owned it, but it is excellent.
Peter Frampton, Comes Alive. I can't believe this isn't in Russell's collection, given that he likes both MOR as well as hipper music. I also can't believe it is in my collection.
Bob Dylan, 30th Anniversary Concert
Various Artists, A Tribute to Woody Guthrie, okay it is actually folk music, but there's one track with the Band. I have in on LP. There's a CD which includes another live recording of a Guthrie tribute concert.
(When I get my courage up and search through the LPs and tapes), I may find a few more.)

Good list, Stuart! I don't have the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert on cd, but I probably should, because I have it on, yes, VHS tape...something I bought soon after it came out, back when I figured that most of what I would watch on television would be music. That didn't work out. It's still sitting on a shelf downstairs though.
Frampton Comes Alive, eh? Yeah, I suppose I have no excuse not to have this either. I mean, how can I aspire to really know the musical world without checking out the fourth best-selling album of all time?
