Live albums are a strange monster. They are essentially a recording of a live show, so it is easy for the band to do. However, capturing the feel of a live concert on a record or cd is the hard part. Some live albums fail and others are essential for your record collection.

This website decided to rank their best live albums. They did a great job putting a list of good live albums together. However they missed some really great ones. So I decided to put together my own list of live albums. They are the official Blogs N' Roses Live Album Buying Guide:
