Actually I just counted six live albums from this band in my collection and love them all. The first time I saw them live they opened up for the English Beat at Buffalo State College in 1982. They were touring on their Chronic Town EP.
The Greensboro Coliseum album is a double CD set when they were touring the Green album. A very entertaining set.
Next up was a live album from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It was wild with lots of great songs. I hadn't listened to any of their albums in awhile and not this live one in quite some time. I saw them once at the Tralf which has always been one of my favorite clubs to see music. I just looked up their tour history in the Tour Archive and saw that they played The Tralf in Buffalo on November 8, 2001. It was a great show too.
Following BRMC next up was a very entertaining double CD live set from Lucinda Williams recorded at the Fillmore in San Francisco and released in 2005. She does have a voice and singing style that really comes across on this live recording that is really an acquired taste. It's a little rough but I like it.
We saw her perform live at the UB Center for the Arts in 2007. Another wonderful show.
