Live Album Project

The Live Album Project started because I bought my wife a record player for Mother’s Day. Though I wasn’t thinking about it at the time, this has proven to be a magnificently useful gift in much the same way as a Pandora bracelet. We can now spend years expanding our record collection one holiday at a time. The gift here isn’t so much the player itself as it is the journey to rediscovering vinyl records.

With that in mind, I went to social media for live album recommendations. The Live Album Project entries are archived below. The complete list of album recommendations is below that. I'll continue to expand the list as I receive additional recommendations.
