A good live album is a great listen, here are some of my top and regular plays, FWIW. I prefer those without heaps of overdubs, which shall remain nameless; my list is rather predictable for someone my age!
Lucinda Williams, Live Fillmore East;
Hendrix, Band of Gypsys and Hendrix in the West;
Lou Reed Rock n Roll Animal;
Rolling Stones, Get Yer Ya Yas Out;
Bob Dylan and The Band The 'Royal Albert Hall' Concert 1966; 'Real Live' is good, but muddy sound spoils it somewhat;
Bryan Ferry Live in Lyons;
Dire Straits Live Alchemy
Deep Purple Made in Japan (Live in Copenhagen from the same tour is great, but sound is average);
The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East (Live Sunybrook is also great, but as above, average sound)
Pretenders, Isle of View
Pink Floyd Live Wembley
Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's
The Band Rock of Ages
Dr Feelgood Stupidity
The ARMS Concert for Multiple Sclerosis
Alan Price, Performing Price
The Concert for George
It's not an 'album', but there's a short Faces BBC Concert on YouTube which is a great listen; shows what a great band they could be and they all play/sing their socks off.
Alison Krauss and Union Station - Live
Boz Scaggs - Greatest Hits Live
Corinne Bailey Rae - Live in New York
Daryl Hall & John Oates - Live At The Troubadour
James Taylor - Live

Thornetta Davis - Covered Live At The Music Menu
Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus; this one is really good
Bob Seger - Live Bullet; a long time favorite
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same; maybe the best ever Stairway...
The Who - Live at Leeds; another long time favorite

That Little Fear album is great, as is Who Live at Leeds, especially the expanded edition - the original only had six tracks. For Zep, How the West Was Won is a good listen too. Will check out Live Bullet, thanks.
Ron, thanks for those ideas: The Corrs do a nice version of 'Little Wing' but I don't know that album. I'll check out Corinne Bailey Rae and Thornetta Davis , too. And the others on your list!
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance
The Corrs - Live in Dublin
Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Live in Japan
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble Live
Collective Soul - Home
Mike Knott - Live at C2K (I was there)
Metallica - S&M
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Alice in Chains - Unplugged
Diana Krall - Live in Paris
Scorpions- Live in Athens
Dream Theater - Once in a Livetime
As a matter of interest, how did you find the album sound for Mike Knott compared to the concert sound? I've only been to one concert - a classical one - which was later commercially released.

The live version of Little Wing has Ronnie Wood on guitar.
There was a good Ron Wood live show from 2002 on YouTube, now deleted, which featured Slash and Andrea Corr. Ron did a nice version of 'Far East Man' as a tribute to George Harrison. The song was a co-write which featured on Ron's first solo album and George's 'Dark Horse'.
Interesting note: I was supposed to go to SRV's show at Apline Valley (East Troy, Wisconsin) the night he died. I would have seen his last show only an hour before he died

Thanks Wolf; that SRV live is awesome.

Ya know, I think they did a good enough job, but I can tell that the quality is a little reduced VS at the show for certain. I chalked it up to the label it was released on being the main factor there.

Would've been a great show, and sad fallout. Weather was bad that night, right? What a tragic loss...

If you’re looking at the yellowy oak color that is the excitingly named “oak”. Never used this stuff before and it is very nice. Am building a desk so thought I’d try it
That one in the middle with the whitewash but dark grain is quite striking. Or the charcoal one would be interesting on a speaker around the sides with an off-white baffle. Though heavy in the contemporary direction.

Love that movie. Genuinely scary in more than one spot. Have not seen pt 2 yet.
I can't recall its name, but there was a 70s horror with Karen Black and a sort of puppet/doll which had huge teeth and couldn't be killed. She put in an oven or something and it wouldn't die.

I'd meant to put Diana Krall on my list. good stuff.
I'd add:
Van Morrison - A Night in San Francisco
Keb' Mo' - Live & Mo'

Weather wasn't that bad. His choper crashed into the hill (where I have skied dozens of times) due to some light fog.
Diana Krall Live in Paris is a great album. Nice recording also, I have used it as a reference for evaluating speaker designs.
It reminds me of Eva Cassidy - Live at Blues Alley
Tom Petty - Live Anthology; an excellent collection of live music
Testing some Rubio monocoat colors on white oak. The couple blemishes are from a sweat stain and me being careless
The two lower left look the best to me but I am old school . . .

Those are both cerused with a contrasting base “precolor” and then waterpopped followed by a coat of colored 2c. This stuff is incredibly forgiving
IT’s the night for a good, scary Halloween movie 😁
good low-end sound tracks and +surround
Love that movie. Genuinely scary in more than one spot. Have not seen pt 2 yet.
Stick with the original !
This Halloween, at our house anyway...
These were taken before all of our decorations were up, I will post more tomorrow
Dude that is INSANE! 👻 🎃 Nice job! 👍
Someone goes all out for Halloween.

A few final pictures:
My wife insisted on buying the Jack Skellington this year
