Best Live Rock Recordings: Four Way Street & Live Rust

Neil Young performs on two of All About Jazz's Best Live Rock Recordings (1969-79): Four Way Street and Live Rust.

Critic C. Michael Bailey writes: "Exceptional live recordings also feature performances so impassioned and so urgently propelled that the listener fears they may spin out of control at any moment. Examples can be found on any Neil Young live recording, but specifically on Live Rust's “Like a Hurricane”."

The review for Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young: Four Way Street has a nice background behind the recording and Neil Young: Live Rust has some fascinating insight into the evolution of "Powderfinger" live over the years .

TIME FADES AWAY! I know, not a "live" album like the ones on this list, but....

And of course, Rolling Zuma Review is better than anything on this list.

As a Who fan, I reject the list's mere mention of Live at Leeds which is clearly in the Top 5.

I just kind of stunned that this Dave Marsh had once shot down Four Way Street as a worst live album of all time.

I don't have problems with differing opinions, it just seems like I must be crazy, because that album was actually the formative album for me in my youth, it is what made me want to become a musician, which I did. I mean, it's ok if he found it boring or not his cup of tea or whatever, but.. the worst live album ever? The songs and performances on that album changed the way I thought of myself. I dunno, that's crazy.

I once had a similar thing said about me and it might have been true for all I know but ...this album is one of the best ever!
