Hi, Darcy! You showed some real gems. I have that KD album in back - that DVD concert is great! I first heard the SCORPIONS in '82 like you but then I got to see them live in Indianapolis in 1984 on the Love at First Sting tour with Bon Jovi opening...lol. SCORPIONS were my first concert. I go back a ways. The live albums I was raised on: 1. KISS ALIVE 2 (btw - the studio songs on side 4 are GREAT! I thought "Rockin' in the USA" and "All American Man" were good enough to play live) 2. QUEEN LIVE KILLERS - I was raised listening to this favorite band of mine. 3. JUDAS PRIEST - Unleashed in the East - the first live album I owned. 4. IRON MAIDEN - Live After Death - the DVD concert still I think remains their best. 5. UFO - Strangers in the Night 6. Honorable Mention goes to... SAXON - Rock & Roll Gypsies
Wow those are some killer albums! That Rush album is underrated! You know I love that KISS Alive 2! WASP is awesome! Still need that Dokken, Savatage and Overkill live albums! Great Great stuff Darcy!🤘
1. Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous 2. UFO - Stranger's in the Night 3. Saxon - The Eagle has Landed 4. Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes 5. Iron Maiden - Live After Death 🤘 from 🇦🇺
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 my top 2 choices will always be my favourite live albums. I think they are outstanding because they were recorded at the peak of the bands careers when they were super tight & firing on all 8 cylinders. They are essential albums that surpass their studio outputs. I totally agree with most of your choices Mate. 👍
@@Docker666 9/10 is pretty damn good lol. Yeah that Overkill is great, celebrating 25 & 30 years of those albums, wow time flies! Thanks for taking time to hang out with me 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
That Overkill album is fantastic. Always been a fan of live albums but haven't spun any in a long time - I must rectify that. Priest Live is my favourite JP live album. it captures them perfectly!
I remember you saying how much you love Priest Live! Thats why we need you back making videos, not only do we miss you, it helps us be reminded of all great music you got us on! Hope you’re having relax time with you’re family 🤘 Cheers brother
Cool video , wasp live in the raw is my favorite live album ever , incredible album , and I was at that slayer show that was recorded in San Bernardino , the San Bernardino side of decade of aggression
Cool choices. I really like that Beast Over Hammersmith. I received my copy in the Eddie’s Archive box set. Another Maiden live album right near the top for me is the Maiden England ‘88. I probably reach for that more than Live After Death these days. Anyway, keep up the great work.
I did a video titled Iron Maiden, my favourite 6.66 live albums & you can bet your arse Maiden England ‘88 made that list! Awesome live album! Thanks for the comment & the positive vibes 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
I saw Slayer on the "Decade..." tour. They announced an aditional show just one week before in my area. Before the internet the news didn´t spread so I saw them in front of 400, maybe 500 people. That was probably my fave concert ever out of the hundreds I´ve seen over the decades. One of my favourite live albums is still "Tokyo Tales" by Blind Guardian. Recorded in 1992 on the "Somwhere far Beyond" tour. It´s a raw, stipped back version of the band without the bombast, I love it!
Hi Darcy, another great video, I’ll have to go back and listen to the Scorpions live album again, forgot how much I like it. Your Metallica shirt reminds me how much I loved their shirts back in the day. My favorite that I owned were the Shortest Straw with “In vertigo you will be” on back and white one that Lars wore in the One video with the album covers on the back. And hey, the Rough Riders are off to a great start! Cheers.
I got that shirt at the 2019 show in Saskatoon, that’s the last time I saw them live! My oldest son is going to see them this Sunday in Madrid, Spain. He asked me if I wanted him to pick me up a T-shirt, I said no Metallica’s got enough of my money already lol. Tough test for the Riders tomorrow! Thanks as always 🤘 Have a great weekend :))
Nice choices there Darcy. I'll have to check out the wasp and Scorpions albums. That Rush album is ace and covers a lot of my favourite songs of theirs, plus the artwork is really cool as well. I'm glad beast over Hammersmith has got another release (I do have it in the archive set) it captures a key period from the band.
Hi Darcy!!! cool live stuff.... unfortunately in this days you don't get a lot of good live recordings maybe the "new" Exodus?? and hard to believe the other big three thrash bands don't have a "great" live album. I do agree with you on "Beast Over Hammersmith" it's an awesome prerfomance, the setlist and listening Bruce live for the first time is a killer experience.... to me one great live recording is Helloween's live Ep "Live in the UK" with a very young Kiske on vocals and singing Keeper's songs and previous stuff. cheers and be well
1. Slayer - Decade Of Aggression (I have the version with two bonus tracks - Skeletons Of Society and At Dawn They Sleep.) 2. Overkill - Wrecking Your Neck 3. Overkill - Wrecking Everything 4. Morbid Angel - Entangled In Chaos 5. Manilla Road - Roadkill 6. Cannibal Corpse - Live Cannibalism 7. Blue Oyster Cult - On Your Feet Or On Your Knees 8. Judas Priest - Unleashed In The East 9. Dio - Inferno : The Last In Live 10. Rush - All The World's A Stage
I love when you say that Criss Oliva is one of your favoritte guitar player. But I can't pick Ghost In The Ruins as my favoritte live album, because the material are compilation from some place right? Here my favoritte live album so far: 1. Dokken_ Beast from the east 1988. 2. Dream Theater_Live at the Marquee 1993. 3. Harem Scarem_Live In Japan 1996. 4. Shaman_Ritual Live 2003. 5. Vision Divine_Stage of consciousness 2005. 6. Megadeth_That one night 2007. 7. Winger_Live 2007. 8. Extreme_Take us alive 2010. 9. Testament_Dark roots of thrash 2013. Thanks for sharing 🤘🤘🤘
Great picks Darcy! Beast over Hammersmith is my favourite Dickinson livealbum! I commented on your last video about livealbums where I’ve already mentioned some of my favourites. Here are some more to check out: MSG - One night at Budokan (1982) Schenker and Powell on fire. Great setlist with tracks like Armed And Ready, Attack Of The Mad Axeman, On And On and Doctor Doctor. Accept - Live in Chile (2013) Great sounding liveshow. Newer stuff is mixed with classics like Metal Heart, Balls To The Wall, Neon Nights and Fast As A Shark. Mark and the band does a great job. Dokken: From Conception: Live 1981. Early performance with highlights like Paris Is Burning, In The Middle and Nightrider. King Diamond: In Concert 1987: Abigail. Great liveperformance from the golden days with Hansen and Dee in the band.
WASP, Slayer and Live After Death are in my top 5 and like you I don’t actively collect and hunt down live albums but I’ll grab something from some of my favourite bands 🤘
I have to check out some of the live albums you mentioned (especially the Rush ones you mentioned). Some others that I like Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous Guns N Roses - Live era 87-93 AC/DC - live, if you want blood you’ve got it Metallica - S and M Motorhead - no sleep till hammersmith Pantera - live 101 proof Slayer - decade of decadence Those are some I can think of off the top of my head.
Alive II is near the top of my Kiss ranking, Ace’s solo in Shock me is just fantastic. I’ve always preferred Slayer’s Decade of Aggression over Live Undead. Great stuff as always buddy!🤘
Live in the Raw was definitely something I listened to a lot when it came out. I have that Priest one on DVD too. I didn't know that about the Maiden one. I might give that Rush one a listen tomorrow.
You need that Maiden one in your vinyl collection! I’ll be curious if you like that live Rush album, those versions of some of their bigger songs are just spectacular! Report back to me tomorrow 👊 Cheers Double M
Strangers in the night, Tokyo takes, double live gonzo, kiss alive, if you want blood, you get what you play for, song remains the same, all the worlds a stage, live sentence, made in Japan
Darcy, If you have never listened to Halford - Live Insurrection from the year 2000… go grab it immediately! Perhaps my favorite live record ever, including the Judas Priest classics.
The only live Halford I have is a dvd/cd Resurrection World Tour Live At Rock In Rio III, awesome show! I’ll be on the lookout for the one you mentioned. Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
agreed with ur selection… \m/… although i hvn’t had Rush’s a show of hands & Savatage’s ghost in the ruins (a tribute to Criss Oliva) yet… love both of these bands.. it was on my list especially Savatage… just curious abt Dokken’s beast from the east… how come they never shoot any video during the tour.. i mean it’s Dokken… they were at the top of their game at that time.. look at the Scorpions… world wide live was recorded n filmed… although Scorpions was bigger than Dokken IMO.. bt it’s Don & George… they ruled during that time… my fave live albums are.. 1)Metallica - live shit: binge & purge… 2)Slayer - decade of aggression 3)Judas Priest - priest live 4)Iron Maiden - live after death 5)Iron Maiden - beast over hammersmith 6)Def Leppard - live LA forum 1983 7)Therion - live gothic 8)Soilwork - live in the heart of helsinki 9)Grave Digger - 25 to live 10)Incantation - blasphemy in brazil
Glad. To see savatage on there. I used. To see them at Dallas city limits . It was a kick ass metal bar . Only the biggest name bands didn't play there. Pantera basically got there start there
Oh man I love Savatage, so cool that you got to see them in a small venue like that! I also should’ve mentioned that Savatage Japan Live ‘94 is getting reissued on vinyl in August, I pre-ordered it yesterday. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Paul
Great stuff! I need to check out that Overkill! I remember playing “Wrecking You Neck Live” to death when it came out. Anthrax XL from a few years ago is really good. It’s also a CD/DVD combo. 🤘🏼🍻
Oh yes that is a great live Overkill album, so is Wrecking Everything from 2002. I haven’t heard that Anthrax yet, I will check it out! Thanks as always 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Helloween - Live in the UK, Accept - Staying a Life, Deep Purple - Made in Japan , Iron Maiden - Live After Death, Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East + Priest..Live, Kiss - Alive 1&2, Slayer - Decade of Aggression are some of my favorites I can think of now. My personal opinion is that live albums are best on LPs, since it is more difficult to change the track.. so you are forced to listen to the full experience. It’s too easy to skip tracks on a CDs 😁 Thanks for another great video Darcy 🤘
Never been really into live albums overall. But here's a couple of my favorites: - Black Sabbath - Live Evil, - Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East, - Rainbow - On Stage, - Motörhead - No Sleep ’til Hammersmith, - Accept - Staying a Life, - Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed, - Iron Maiden - Live After Death, - Slayer - Live Undead.
What a great list.. I could not agree more about a show of hands and it being the best time in the band for Ged’s vocals. The last of 3 flawless live releases from them, untouchable. Love the mention of overkill, you got me that cd/blueray set and it’s incredible, the slayer and dokken both equally end the best era of both bands. And the priest , that is my fav live priest record. And of course maiden, young aggressive and Bruce sounded unreal. What a list brother.. stay heavy and go spin that KD in the background.🤟🤟
Great choice on Savatage! Priest Live and Maiden's Live After Death will always be special to me. First albums I bought from both bands. (Of course, then I went back and picked up their entire catalogs!). I remember getting them on cassette the same day at the local mall's record store. Actual music stores back then lol! They surprisingly had a TV commercial which drew me to Priest Live. My brother also kept stealing the Maiden tape. We wore out multiple copies. Great memories!

Cool picks Darcy. I need that WASP live album. Will probably include it in my next online order. I don't own any of the KISS Alive releases. Hope you're enjoying your summer 🍻.
Yes I’m enjoying my summer thank you, I’m heading out to the lake/cottage Saturday morning for a few days of sweet FA lol. I hope you’re having a good summer too 🍻 Cheers from Planet6Strings
Rush Show of Hands has grown on me....enjoy the earlier stuff though.That time period was my college years and the peak of MTV...numerous songs on this album had videos. Very nostalgic!
Have you seen W.A.S.P lately? They are my second favorite band but I've been disappointed both times I've seen them live. I never got to see them in their heyday though. First time was when they were touring for The Neon God. Don't remember which one
No I only saw them in 1984 & 1986, to be honest I have no desire to see them these days. There’s only a handful of older bands that I would care to see live these days. I’ll hang onto my memories lol 🤘 Thank for watching :))
Cris recorded two more albums after Gutter Ballet. Streets and Edge of Thorns. He was killed in a car accident six months after Edge of Thorns was released. Great live album from one of the most original metal guitarists to grace the stage! Alive II is still one of my favorite live albums ever.
Yeah I don’t know what the hell I was talking about because I know that story inside and out! Criss is one of my favourite guitar players of all time, his guitar tone and the way he played was truly amazing!
That Priest live album = TURD. Rough CUTT put out a double cd. One cd, demos. Other, a live show. Great. Black Sabbath, double cd, Born Again. Live cd = fantastic ! Sad, how so many bands - screw up live recordings. Overdubs, basically.
I’ve never heard anything live from Rough Cutt. I’m hoping when they do a box set for Born Again they throw in some live material. Turd 😂 Next time tell us how you really feel :))
My alltime favorite will always be WASP - Live in The Raw. It's almost like summary of their Best of - early 80s performed live. Some people complain how drums sound on this one, almost like one hits a trash can - but I actually like that characteristic sound. Slayer - Decade of Agression - not only a great live album from their early 90s peak but also technically very interesting CD-album. It features multiple "hidden" inbetween tracks sections (those that count down to zero and go seamlessly into a new track / song) containing only Araya speaking to the audience. The best solution i've seen as they are only audiable when one plays entire album, but when one skips tracks - the songs begin right away. However, this is totaly broken and cut out on streaming services like Spotify, so this album needs to be played from original CD to be fully enjoyed.
1. Kiss - Alive! 2. Iron Maiden - Live After Death 3. Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo! 4. Thin Lizzy - Life 5. Savatage - Ghost in the Ruins-A Tribute to Criss Oliva 6. Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed 7. Motorhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith 8. Black Sabbath - Live Evil 9. Deep Purple - Made in Japan 10. Jimi Hndrix - Band of Gypsys
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 the majority of that Priest album was recorded in Dallas and I'd originally thought about going to the show but then I found out Dokken was opening. I didn't like the "Turbo" album but since I'd never seen Priest before I was gonna suck it up. Dokken on the bill pushed me over the edge. i didn't even purchase than album until the last couple of years.
Sometimes a live album is a good introduction to a band I know decade of aggression was mine with slayer while I'm not the biggest live album person I do enjoy them but it has to be a 2cd one these days great video darcy also have you done an annihilator album ranking yet? I have the 1st two albums and have recently picked up a couple of the latter era ones really enjoying their music thanks as always!
You’re right, a live album is definitely a good introduction to a band. No I haven’t done an Annihilator ranking yet, key word here is yet lol, it’s on my to do list! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Robert
Ayyy this is killer haha! Glad to see you do this second edition. Some for me are: Edguy - Burning Down the Opera: their first live album, released in 2003, this has pretty much all my favorite songs on it from their golden era (in my opinion), songs like Babylon, Headless Game, Land of the Miracle, and Tears of a Mandrake are standouts. The crowd participation is on point as is usual with power metal audiences haha. Iron Maiden - Beast over Hammersmith '82: this was an archival release for the 40th Anniversary edition of The Number of the Beast, also available on standalone CD I believe? Recorded three days before Number was released, so this features a few songs which were unreleased at the time, as well as many Paul Dianno songs being sung by Bruce. I love it. Bob Seger - Live Bullet: I don't even need to say why, but this is it man. Turn The Page is enough for it to be legendary, as that's my all-time favorite song. Kiss - Alive III: Alive III, while being the most overproduced, clearly touched up and edited, I still love the energy of the performances, and with the mid 1990's Kiss being my favorite live era of the band, this is a win win. Stone Sour - Live in Moscow: The band at their live peak, I know not everyone is into their butt-rock / metal thing, but I really enjoy it and this is their heaviest era. Great picks here with Alive II and Decade of Aggression, gonna take a look at that Savatage record for sure now!
I used to love the live albums in my collection but i'm not so fussed at all now. Much prefer watching dvds/blurays. Totally gutted when i found out that two of the tracks on the UFO - strangers in the night 'live' album were recorded 'live' in the studio and not at a concert and what's more, they released the two mixes (without the crowd) as a 10" RSD release. LOL. The world needs a re-release of the W.A.S.P. - Live At The Lyceum, London video on dvd/bluray, WITHOUT the garbage 'americanised' crowd overdubbing they did to it. The crowd noises don't even match up with what's happening on screen. Hopefully they have all the footage somewhere with the original crowd noise but i doubt it very much after all this time
Hey, Darcy! How are you doing, man? I've been a fan of the channel for a while, but just realized I was not subscribed to it. My bad!🥴 I am reaching out because I'm releasing my 5th single next Friday, July 26, and I'd love to share that with you. Paranoia Church is a Toronto-based, self-produced, one-man band exploring different nuances of Traditional Metal, featuring a bunch of cool people. On drums, I've got Fabio Alessandrini (Annihilator, Bonfire, Lione's Rhapsody, Enforcer, Whiplash, etc). A few Brazilian guitar players, such as Rod Rodrigues and Victor Gueiros, have featured on solos. On vocals, I've got people from all over: the Greek beast Tasos Lazaris (Fortress Under Siege and Savage Grace), the Italian Valeriano di Zordo (Stargenesis and Agarthic - Frontiers Records), the Ecuadorian singer Carolina Padrón (Tribus), and the upcoming track features the American multi-instrumentalist Samtar. The first three singles are straight-up Traditional Metal (Priest, King Diamond, Maiden, Accept), but on the last one started experimenting with other elements (more mid-tempo, a duet with female vocals...). And the upcoming song, 'Back to the Ocean', takes an even more different direction. I've added some Hammond organs, and Australian trumpeter Kelly O'Donohue joined me with a set of trombones and trumpets. I am pretty curious to see what more Metal-oriented people will think about it. All the released material so far is available on my RUclips channel and all other digital platforms. But if you're interested in checking out the next single firsthand, give me a shout, and I'll send you the link before the official release. Cheers! Stay heavy!🤘

I’ll definitely check that episode out.
I saw Slayer on the "Decade..." tour. They announced an aditional show just one week before in my area. Before the internet the news didn´t spread so I saw them in front of 400, maybe 500 people. That was probably my fave concert ever out of the hundreds I´ve seen over the decades.

Great picks Darcy! Beast over Hammersmith is my favourite Dickinson livealbum! I commented on your last video about livealbums where I’ve already mentioned some of my favourites. Here are some more to check out:
MSG - One night at Budokan (1982) Schenker and Powell on fire. Great setlist with tracks like Armed And Ready, Attack Of The Mad Axeman, On And On and Doctor Doctor.
Accept - Live in Chile (2013) Great sounding liveshow. Newer stuff is mixed with classics like Metal Heart, Balls To The Wall, Neon Nights and Fast As A Shark. Mark and the band does a great job.
Dokken: From Conception: Live 1981. Early performance with highlights like Paris Is Burning, In The Middle and Nightrider.
King Diamond: In Concert 1987: Abigail. Great liveperformance from the golden days with Hansen and Dee in the band.
Oh man that King Diamond is awesome, not many touchups on that one! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Nik
WASP, Slayer and Live After Death are in my top 5 and like you I don’t actively collect and hunt down live albums but I’ll grab something from some of my favourite bands 🤘
I have to check out some of the live albums you mentioned (especially the Rush ones you mentioned). Some others that I like
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Guns N Roses - Live era 87-93
AC/DC - live, if you want blood you’ve got it
Metallica - S and M
Motorhead - no sleep till hammersmith
Pantera - live 101 proof
Slayer - decade of decadence
Those are some I can think of off the top of my head.
Testament- Live at the Fillmore 1995
Exodus- Another Lesson in Violence 1997
Halford- Live Resurrection 2000
Wow this list just keeps getting better! Thanks for sharing 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Just saw Scorpions in Vegas in April and they're still amazing!!!!
They're playing Wacken this year, hopefully we will get a live feed from their set
Alive II is near the top of my Kiss ranking, Ace’s solo in Shock me is just fantastic. I’ve always preferred Slayer’s Decade of Aggression over Live Undead. Great stuff as always buddy!🤘
Live in the Raw was definitely something I listened to a lot when it came out. I have that Priest one on DVD too. I didn't know that about the Maiden one. I might give that Rush one a listen tomorrow.
You need that Maiden one in your vinyl collection! I’ll be curious if you like that live Rush album, those versions of some of their bigger songs are just spectacular! Report back to me tomorrow 👊 Cheers Double M
the savatage album called final
bell in japan, different cover 😎👍✌️
Strangers in the night, Tokyo takes, double live gonzo, kiss alive, if you want blood, you get what you play for, song remains the same, all the worlds a stage, live sentence, made in Japan
Darcy,
If you have never listened to Halford - Live Insurrection from the year 2000… go grab it immediately! Perhaps my favorite live record ever, including the Judas Priest classics.
The only live Halford I have is a dvd/cd Resurrection World Tour Live At Rock In Rio III, awesome show! I’ll be on the lookout for the one you mentioned. Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
agreed with ur selection… \m/… although i hvn’t had Rush’s a show of hands & Savatage’s ghost in the ruins (a tribute to Criss Oliva) yet… love both of these bands.. it was on my list especially Savatage…
just curious abt Dokken’s beast from the east… how come they never shoot any video during the tour.. i mean it’s Dokken… they were at the top of their game at that time.. look at the Scorpions… world wide live was recorded n filmed… although Scorpions was bigger than Dokken IMO.. bt it’s Don & George… they ruled during that time…
my fave live albums are..
1)Metallica - live shit: binge & purge…
2)Slayer - decade of aggression
3)Judas Priest - priest live
4)Iron Maiden - live after death
5)Iron Maiden - beast over hammersmith
6)Def Leppard - live LA forum 1983
7)Therion - live gothic
8)Soilwork - live in the heart of helsinki
9)Grave Digger - 25 to live
10)Incantation - blasphemy in brazil
Glad. To see savatage on there. I used. To see them at Dallas city limits . It was a kick ass metal bar . Only the biggest name bands didn't play there. Pantera basically got there start there
Oh man I love Savatage, so cool that you got to see them in a small venue like that! I also should’ve mentioned that Savatage Japan Live ‘94 is getting reissued on vinyl in August, I pre-ordered it yesterday. Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Paul
Great stuff! I need to check out that Overkill! I remember playing “Wrecking You Neck Live” to death when it came out. Anthrax XL from a few years ago is really good. It’s also a CD/DVD combo. 🤘🏼🍻
Oh yes that is a great live Overkill album, so is Wrecking Everything from 2002. I haven’t heard that Anthrax yet, I will check it out! Thanks as always 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Helloween - Live in the UK, Accept - Staying a Life, Deep Purple - Made in Japan , Iron Maiden - Live After Death, Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East + Priest..Live, Kiss - Alive 1&2, Slayer - Decade of Aggression are some of my favorites I can think of now. My personal opinion is that live albums are best on LPs, since it is more difficult to change the track.. so you are forced to listen to the full experience. It’s too easy to skip tracks on a CDs 😁 Thanks for another great video Darcy 🤘
I forgot, my Helloween Bootleg LP - 1986-06-07 Gelsenkirchen, Germany. It's 🎃🎃🎃!!!
Never been really into live albums overall. But here's a couple of my favorites:
- Black Sabbath - Live Evil,
- Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East,
- Rainbow - On Stage,
- Motörhead - No Sleep ’til Hammersmith,
- Accept - Staying a Life,
- Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed,
- Iron Maiden - Live After Death,
- Slayer - Live Undead.
😂 5 of the ones you mentioned featured in my Part 1. And one of them is actually my favourite live album of all time!
What a great list.. I could not agree more about a show of hands and it being the best time in the band for Ged’s vocals. The last of 3 flawless live releases from them, untouchable. Love the mention of overkill, you got me that cd/blueray set and it’s incredible, the slayer and dokken both equally end the best era of both bands. And the priest , that is my fav live priest record. And of course maiden, young aggressive and Bruce sounded unreal. What a list brother.. stay heavy and go spin that KD in the background.🤟🤟
Great choice on Savatage! Priest Live and Maiden's Live After Death will always be special to me. First albums I bought from both bands. (Of course, then I went back and picked up their entire catalogs!). I remember getting them on cassette the same day at the local mall's record store. Actual music stores back then lol! They surprisingly had a TV commercial which drew me to Priest Live. My brother also kept stealing the Maiden tape. We wore out multiple copies. Great memories!

6. Whitesnake - Live ..In The Heart Of The City

When i saw Judas Priest during the Firepower tour they opened for Deep Purple. Now, i get it, but it really should have been the other way around.
Cool picks Darcy. I need that WASP live album. Will probably include it in my next online order. I don't own any of the KISS Alive releases. Hope you're enjoying your summer 🍻.
Yes I’m enjoying my summer thank you, I’m heading out to the lake/cottage Saturday morning for a few days of sweet FA lol. I hope you’re having a good summer too 🍻 Cheers from Planet6Strings
Rush Show of Hands has grown on me....enjoy the earlier stuff though.That time period was my college years and the peak of MTV...numerous songs on this album had videos. Very nostalgic!
Have you seen W.A.S.P lately? They are my second favorite band but I've been disappointed both times I've seen them live. I never got to see them in their heyday though. First time was when they were touring for The Neon God. Don't remember which one
No I only saw them in 1984 & 1986, to be honest I have no desire to see them these days. There’s only a handful of older bands that I would care to see live these days. I’ll hang onto my memories lol 🤘 Thank for watching :))
Cris recorded two more albums after Gutter Ballet. Streets and Edge of Thorns. He was killed in a car accident six months after Edge of Thorns was released. Great live album from one of the most original metal guitarists to grace the stage! Alive II is still one of my favorite live albums ever.
Yeah I don’t know what the hell I was talking about because I know that story inside and out! Criss is one of my favourite guitar players of all time, his guitar tone and the way he played was truly amazing!
That Priest live album = TURD.
Rough CUTT put out a double cd. One cd, demos. Other, a live show. Great.
Black Sabbath, double cd, Born Again. Live cd = fantastic !
Sad, how so many bands - screw up live recordings. Overdubs, basically.
I’ve never heard anything live from Rough Cutt. I’m hoping when they do a box set for Born Again they throw in some live material. Turd 😂 Next time tell us how you really feel :))
Wasp for the win 🙌
You just can’t beat ‘84 to ‘89 W.A.S.P. can you! Finally cooling off here a bit 🍻 Cheers from the lake version of Planet6Strings :))
My alltime favorite will always be WASP - Live in The Raw. It's almost like summary of their Best of - early 80s performed live. Some people complain how drums sound on this one, almost like one hits a trash can - but I actually like that characteristic sound.
Slayer - Decade of Agression - not only a great live album from their early 90s peak but also technically very interesting CD-album. It features multiple "hidden" inbetween tracks sections (those that count down to zero and go seamlessly into a new track / song) containing only Araya speaking to the audience. The best solution i've seen as they are only audiable when one plays entire album, but when one skips tracks - the songs begin right away. However, this is totaly broken and cut out on streaming services like Spotify, so this album needs to be played from original CD to be fully enjoyed.
1. Kiss - Alive!
2. Iron Maiden - Live After Death
3. Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo!
4. Thin Lizzy - Life
5. Savatage - Ghost in the Ruins-A Tribute to Criss Oliva
6. Saxon - The Eagle Has Landed
7. Motorhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith
8. Black Sabbath - Live Evil
9. Deep Purple - Made in Japan
10. Jimi Hndrix - Band of Gypsys
Great list 🤘 Thanks for sharing :))
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 the majority of that Priest album was recorded in Dallas and I'd originally thought about going to the show but then I found out Dokken was opening. I didn't like the "Turbo" album but since I'd never seen Priest before I was gonna suck it up. Dokken on the bill pushed me over the edge.
i didn't even purchase than album until the last couple of years.
I don't know if you ever mentioned annihilator double live annihilation.
@@paulwills1459 Not yet 😉
The Devin Townsend Project ""Live In Plovdiv"". This my number 1 live album.
I’ve honestly never heard that one! I’ll give it a shot 🤘 Cheers Piotr
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Oh,man! This is an AMAZING live performance! Visually stunning! And the first track,The Truth will give to the chills!
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 It was released as a DVD ,I think a huge part of it /and maybe even the entire thing/ is available on You Tube!
black out my favourite scorps album.
Blackout is definitely my favourite from the 80s, no bad tracks on that one! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Sometimes a live album is a good introduction to a band I know decade of aggression was mine with slayer while I'm not the biggest live album person I do enjoy them but it has to be a 2cd one these days great video darcy also have you done an annihilator album ranking yet? I have the 1st two albums and have recently picked up a couple of the latter era ones really enjoying their music thanks as always!
You’re right, a live album is definitely a good introduction to a band. No I haven’t done an Annihilator ranking yet, key word here is yet lol, it’s on my to do list! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Robert
Ayyy this is killer haha! Glad to see you do this second edition.
Some for me are:
Edguy - Burning Down the Opera: their first live album, released in 2003, this has pretty much all my favorite songs on it from their golden era (in my opinion), songs like Babylon, Headless Game, Land of the Miracle, and Tears of a Mandrake are standouts. The crowd participation is on point as is usual with power metal audiences haha.
Iron Maiden - Beast over Hammersmith '82: this was an archival release for the 40th Anniversary edition of The Number of the Beast, also available on standalone CD I believe? Recorded three days before Number was released, so this features a few songs which were unreleased at the time, as well as many Paul Dianno songs being sung by Bruce. I love it.
Bob Seger - Live Bullet: I don't even need to say why, but this is it man. Turn The Page is enough for it to be legendary, as that's my all-time favorite song.
Kiss - Alive III: Alive III, while being the most overproduced, clearly touched up and edited, I still love the energy of the performances, and with the mid 1990's Kiss being my favorite live era of the band, this is a win win.
Stone Sour - Live in Moscow: The band at their live peak, I know not everyone is into their butt-rock / metal thing, but I really enjoy it and this is their heaviest era.
Great picks here with Alive II and Decade of Aggression, gonna take a look at that Savatage record for sure now!
I used to love the live albums in my collection but i'm not so fussed at all now. Much prefer watching dvds/blurays. Totally gutted when i found out that two of the tracks on the UFO - strangers in the night 'live' album were recorded 'live' in the studio and not at a concert and what's more, they released the two mixes (without the crowd) as a 10" RSD release. LOL. The world needs a re-release of the W.A.S.P. - Live At The Lyceum, London video on dvd/bluray, WITHOUT the garbage 'americanised' crowd overdubbing they did to it. The crowd noises don't even match up with what's happening on screen. Hopefully they have all the footage somewhere with the original crowd noise but i doubt it very much after all this time
Hey, Darcy! How are you doing, man?
I've been a fan of the channel for a while, but just realized I was not subscribed to it. My bad!🥴
I am reaching out because I'm releasing my 5th single next Friday, July 26, and I'd love to share that with you.
Paranoia Church is a Toronto-based, self-produced, one-man band exploring different nuances of Traditional Metal, featuring a bunch of cool people. On drums, I've got Fabio Alessandrini (Annihilator, Bonfire, Lione's Rhapsody, Enforcer, Whiplash, etc). A few Brazilian guitar players, such as Rod Rodrigues and Victor Gueiros, have featured on solos. On vocals, I've got people from all over: the Greek beast Tasos Lazaris (Fortress Under Siege and Savage Grace), the Italian Valeriano di Zordo (Stargenesis and Agarthic - Frontiers Records), the Ecuadorian singer Carolina Padrón (Tribus), and the upcoming track features the American multi-instrumentalist Samtar.
The first three singles are straight-up Traditional Metal (Priest, King Diamond, Maiden, Accept), but on the last one started experimenting with other elements (more mid-tempo, a duet with female vocals...). And the upcoming song, 'Back to the Ocean', takes an even more different direction. I've added some Hammond organs, and Australian trumpeter Kelly O'Donohue joined me with a set of trombones and trumpets. I am pretty curious to see what more Metal-oriented people will think about it.
All the released material so far is available on my RUclips channel and all other digital platforms. But if you're interested in checking out the next single firsthand, give me a shout, and I'll send you the link before the official release.
Cheers! Stay heavy!🤘
