Metallica’s S&M is a standout for me. It was so fresh and exciting and rich experience to listen to for the first time.

I like Joe Satriani’s live in San Francisco. He generally approaches live recordings as a unique experience so the songs and performance are quite different each time. He’s one artist I almost like his live albums more than his studios

Iron Maiden’s Fear of the Dark live versions are just another level in energy

S&M is amazing!! How do you like the second one? Any hopes for an S&M3? I’d love to see some of the new 72 Seasons songs done with an orchestra. And we need more Death Magnetic!!

Fear of the Dark live is always magical.

I haven’t listened to S&M2. Maybe I should give it a try? I’m surprised they did it considering how complete the first one was. And remember them saying how crucial the late Michael Kamen was to arranging it.
