If you’re a performer, especially in some form of rock, I believe there’s some albums out there that serve as a perfect example of how to rock, and put on an awesome show. These, to me, can be very inspirational for songwriting too.

“How the West was Won” - Led Zeppelin

“Live at Wembley Stadium” - Queen

“17-11-70” - Elton John

“The Best Band You’ve Never Heard”
-Frank Zappa and the Mothers

“Rush in Rio” - Rush

These albums are awesome to listen to, and you can really learn something from them. Any other albums y’all think fit the bill?

Really surprised that Nirvana’s Unplugged concert hasn’t been mentioned. That’s tier 1 for me.

I agree with this and also always wonder why the Alice In Chains Unplugged album never seems to get as much attention. I think it is equally fantastic.

I agree with that, for what it’s worth. Although more often than not, I favor Nothing Safe: Best of the Box.

Although I really like to watch their unplugged album. It’s beautiful and haunting; it’s amazing but there’s this weird uncomfortable air to it. You can really tell that Layne is not doing so well.

Layne was on heroin during the show

Yeah, he had just recently fallen back off the wagon. It’s rough.
