I've just turned my contribution here into a post for my blog, with some more background on each album.

I'd really appreciate any feedback people may have.

I don't know how I missed this link to your blog the first time I checked for responses to my query.

 

There are some excellent suggestions here and I'll definitely be checking them out as time permits.

 

Thanks!

Louis Armstrong's 1962 live show in Chicago is great (the '56 show is mentioned above, and it is great, too, and probably a better performance overall). The SQ on the '62 recording is notch or two better, though; the '56 recording was notoriously botched by amateurs from a local Chicago CBS station who apparently lied about their capabilities in recording live performances. The 1962 show, by contrast, is extremely well engineered. So, listen to both!

Just one more :) The only live recording of 'A Love Supreme' (24bit version available as BluRay audio 'A Love Supreme' extra tracks). Many possible editions.

With the consistent level of your suggestions I sure hope this is not your last post on this thread:)

As it was mentioned already many of Keith Jarrett albums were recorded live. I am mentioning some of them only (solo and band):

 

- Solo: Bremen, Lausanne

- Koln Concert

- A Multitude of Angels

- Testament: Paris, London

- Personal Mountains

- Standards Live

- The Cure

- Tokyo'96

 

This is only a small part from a huge volume of Jarrett's live output, I selected some which very dear to me.
