If you like Made in Japan, you should really own Made in Europe, which is from the Burn tour (David Coverdale and Glen Hughes). It's harder to find (considered an import in the US), but it's an intense performance. And although it's considered blues rather than rock, Stevie Ray Vaughn's Live Alive is inspired.

Those are all good, but the *best* is Iron Maiden - Live after death.

Iron Maiden - easily the best live band ever. (With Bruce Dickinson that is - Bayley and DiAnno are really bad live performers). Live after Death and Live at Donnington are my favorite live albums.

YES !!!!

I have no choice or preference of Metal/Rock Album, but the reason I am replying to your post is that I thought it was from CG. Somehow, when I hear about metal my mind automatically associates it with CG.
Then my job is done.

Just to be awkward, there are a number of separate heavy metal tracks I like so it's time to do my own compilation :)

I'll go with Made in Japan and add the In Concert[^] discs, if only for the pleasantly lengthy jams. And for one that may not be counted as rock (but I like it anyway!), I'll have to add this[^].

No sleep til hammersmith !!! As Live after death has the famous 'scream for me hammersmith', I guess Hammersmith is the common thread for great live albums.

Yes, Live after Death is good. Not as keen on Iron Maiden as I am on Judas Priest though. But I did see Iron Maiden live before they released their first album. This was at Surrey University in the UK. They were supporting a group called Samson whose lead singer was Bruce Dickinson (called Bruce Bruce then). :)

I think I heard it once. Not as good as Made in Japan, where Purple had their definitive lineup IMO.

In particular order and at the top of course... :-D Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same
Led Zep are my favourite rock band. However, in terms of live albums, I prefer the rawer heavy metal ones. Rush are also my favourite rock band but, again the artists listed earlier have done better live albums.

Unleashed in the East and Made In Japan are pretty awesome. I think the difference for me is, Live after death came out while I was a metal fan, I went back and discovered those others. Plus, the album art is incredible. :-)

Well, although Motorhead were at their peak in my formative years, I've never actually heard this album, although I did see Motorhead live during that period - at Hammersmith in fact!

Virtually the other way round for me! I heard Live after Death for the first time only about two years ago. I was impressed. :) I did buy the first few Maiden albums as they came out - up to Powerslave. Then I faded away but I've been listening to them quite a bit recently - including Live after Death.
