Live is the first official live album by George Thorogood and the Destroyers.
It was recorded at the Cincinnati Gardens in Ohio on 23 May, 1986.
A 2010 archive release of Live In Boston 1982 means that this is no longer the earliest example of Thorogood live.
It is however the best known and most successful as it has been awarded platinum disc status for album sales in the USA.

The Status Quo Live boxset collects together three live concert recordings by Status Quo:
Since fans will already have the Status Quo Live album with the Glasgow concert, the boxset is expensive for what it offers. There is a cheaper option for the mp3 version which gives you a chance to get either or both of the Tokyo and Sydney recordings.
Live In Boston 1982 is a live album by George Thorogood and the Destroyers.
It was recorded at the Bradford Ballroom in 1982 but wasn’t released until 2010.
I don’t have a recording date but the fact that Bad To The Bone, their first single from 1982 is not on the recording, it suggests that it was before August. Since Nobody But Me, New Boogie Chillun, Miss LuAnn and As the Years Go Passing By were on the Bad To The Bone album it was probably close to the time of recording.

‘Ot ‘n’ Sweaty is a part live album and part studio album by hard rock group Cactus.

Performance Rockin’ The Fillmore is a live album by Humble Pie. It was recorded at the Fillmore East in New York on the 28th and 29th May 1971 and released in November 1971.
The group had released their Rock On studio album in March 1971.
Humble Pie performed four sets over the two days and they have been released in full on Performance – Rockin’ The Fillmore: The Complete Recordings in 2013. Since it is basically the same set list each time with minor variations, it’s not an album I recommend unless you are a big fan of Humble Pie.
Humble Pie gained a lot of attention after the fact because Peter Frampton of Frampton Comes Alive was a member at the time of this recording.

Boogie rock came out of the blues rock of the late 1960s and is known for its repetitive, hard driving rhythm.
It’s not sophisticated but when it’s done well, it is exciting.
Status Quo in the UK had a lot of success with plenty of hit singles and albums. Other boogie rock bands were not as successful at crossing over into the mainstream but are popular with those that know.
