What Live CDs Do You Carry Around?

Posted by Cliff on from the another-tool-in-the-toolbox dept.

TPC asks: "I recently acquired a small CD case that fits 12 CDs. I figured that it would be useful to always carry around a few CDs to use when helping others with computer issues, or in case something goes wrong with my own computer. However, I'm having a hard time deciding what CDs to pick, and there are probably many hidden gems out there. I'm sure I'm not the first person with this idea, so I ask you: What 12 live (and otherwise) CDs would you carry around?"

    Evanescence's Anywhere But Home isn't bad either.

    James Taylor for me, thank you. One you listen to the Live CD(s), you can't go back to the doctored and primped studio stuff. No that there's anything wrong with Rush...Hold Your Fire is my favorite (non-live), but that was from my "era", so it may be a particularly biased choice.

    Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?

    Only the first two discs are really important. Not to say the third disk should be overlooked but... 2112 in it's entirety and the boys had a chance to mature their live set a bit more? Fantastic. ESL is good too though.

    Ah yes, "Hold Your Fire", the local minimum between the local maxima of "Grace Under Pressure" and "Presto". "Power Windows" is an inflection point.

    "Hold Your Fire" is also the limit of Rush as Alex Lifeson approaches underutilized.
