this thread got me thinking:
aside form the grateful dead and any other bands that offer whole concerts on CD, has there ever been anyone who has released as much live material as eric clapton?
cream had 3 studio albums, and 4 official live albums before this one, which has 4 CD's giving them a total of 7 1/2 live CD's and 3 1/2 studio albums. to clarify: half of 'goodbye' was live as was half of 'wheels of fire"
derek and the dominoes had one double album (single CD) and one double live CD.
and clapton solo, well, i have lost count, let's see:
rainbow consert ec was here timepieces I & II just one night half the 'blues' CD a 4 disc box set (crossroads II) which had about 6 or 8 studio tracks on it 24 nights one more car - one more rider unplugged eric clapton & steve winwood
did i miss any?

So you are saying if you eliminate anyone who has released more, then he's released the most?

well, when you put it that way......yes, (i think).
i truly can't think of any band or artist with more legit live albums.
can anyone?

If you're not nice
If you limit it only to live albums that were put out as the "current" release (not years later from the vaults as so many artists do nowadays), Eric Clapton is hard to beat.

Not getting too far off the subject I think FZ has over 40 live releases - that is not counting releases where the basic material was live with many, many, many studio overdubs (Sheik Yerbouti, Joe's Garage, Tinsel Town Rebellion...also excluding releases where nearly half of the music is live - Uncle Meat, Weasels, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Chunga's. Even if you back out the Guitar releases and adjust Roxy down to 1 release - there are still over 30...and IMO - not nearly enough. Even the releases during his lifetime - I believe are more than Eric.

Excuse me, but for me, we seemed to have veered way off the original topic of this thread. On the off-topic of “number of live current releases” for an artist, let me posit this: I don’t give a shit about the actual “number” of an artist’s live recordings…..what I care about is the “quality” of those recordings, and my personal enjoyment of those recordings!! When I listen to particular live versions of a song, I don’t go to an Excel spreadsheet in my head to determine whether it is the 1st, 3rd, or 20th live version of the song that I’ve heard, I only care about whether I like it or not….PERIOD!! As to this release, it was the heyday of their short performing days, and I’m in!!

easy now, i veered off-topic and i apologize if it upset you. it just kind of happened while i was reading this and making a clapton comp for my car at the same time.
as for on-topic, do you have live cream and live cream II? and were those also made in the "heydey" of the band?
and you points a quite valid about whether you like it or not, but as i stated above, how many times can you release a live version of a song before redundancy begins to set in? i mean 3 versions of 'ramblin' on the same box set? judging from what clapton has done with live recordings there had to be other things he could have put on that box in place of 2 of those versions.
