    • I can't belive that "Tokyo Tapes" and "World Wide Live" from Scorpions aren't include in the list... great mistake.

    • Live & Dangerous surely is a damn fine album, but not exactly a live one. Almost everything on it was re-recorded in studio, in fact, the only thing "live" on that album are Brian Downey's drums.
