Live albums where the city is called out to thunderous applause

Cheap Trick's "Live at Budokan" does this, but I'm looking for more pandering than that.

"SCREAM FOR ME, LONG BEACH!"

Lights out, lights out CHICAGO!

Not an album, but I saw Skid Row play at Donnington in 1994. Frontman-who-was-not-Seb-Bach leapt on stage and greeted the crowd with "Hello London!", which given that Donnington is in the West Midlands, was something of a faux pas. Thunderous applause did not ensue.

not seb bach in 1994?

when alice in chains toured australia in 1993, layne was notoriously out of sorts. after the applause that met the closure of opening track 'dam that river', he announced to the unsuspecting melbourne crowd "good evening wollongong!" met with confused silence and coughs.

Does that Paul Stanley "People Let Me Get This Off My Chest" thing count?

Lots of shout outs to San Antonio and Dallas on Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo.

x-post if my memory serves it wasn't Bach. They were very poor.

There's gotta be an Atlanta shout-out on the Lynyrd Skynyrd "One More For From The Road" live album. Ronnie does shout out "Georgia! Home of the future president of the United States!" to thunderous applause. Concert was in 1976.

this is kind of off-subject, but one of the funniest things ever is on Type O Negative's faux-live album (supposedly recorded at Brighton Beach, Florida) when they're doing their morbid "Hey Joe" cover and the axe-murderer says "I'll take that D-train, I'll take it down... to Brrrrighton Beach!" Creative use of shoutout.

Hah, not an album but: I happened to see Green Day at Merriweather Post one time and Mr. Armstrong absolutely would not stop hollering "MARYLAND!" randomly in, like, every other song. And the crowd ate it up every time. Sometimes my companion of that evening and I will randomly holler "MARYLAND!" when we chance to cross into that particular state.

There's a highly tedious U2 recording where His Bononess does a long spiel about how he had a sore throat, see, and he went to his doctor who was worried about this upcoming concert, see, but the doctor was all like, "Eh, don't worry, you're goin' to Cork; they can sing better than you anyway." One hopes he told the same anecdote in every city of that tour.

not to mention "that great Nashville pussy"...

I'm surprised by the dearth of responses here. I thought this was some obvious recurring theme in live albums.

well, there's always Bob Seger's "someone in Rolling Stone wrote that Detroit rock and roll audiences were the best rock and roll audiences in the world...I thought to myself, shit, I've known that for 10 years!" from Live Bullet

Kind of the opposite: the CD set in Metallica's Binge & Purge box, when the Mexican crowd yells "Mexico! Mexico! Mexico!" until one of the Metalliguys steps up to the microphone and gets them to yell "Metallica! Metallica!" instead - one of the less favourite moments on there, to be honest.

Throughout Paul Simon's Live in Central Park, each reference he makes to NYC -- and of course half his songs do so -- is met with thunderous applause.

"There is a girl in New York City who --"
WAIWHIWHIOWAIHOWIHOWIHOWIHOWIHOWIHOW

New Yorkers have some weird obsession with proving to others that NYC is the best place in the world so fuck you and the place you come from

Robert Plant greets the crowd with "'STRALIA!!" in the Earl's Court show on the Led Zep DVD set. No noticeable response, but I'm sure he was only amusing himself anyway

he announced to the unsuspecting melbourne crowd "good evening wollongong!"

lol

Made me think instantly of the live version of Billy Joel's Miami 2017 (seen the lights go out on broadway) on the album Songs In The Attic which is custom bult for this sort of thing, having several dramatic references to NY/Brooklyn/Queens etc: The version was recorded at MSG natch.

Live versions of Neil Young's After The Goldrush where the correct decade or century is called out to thunderous applause (Neil knows all about dates and stuff! Far out, man!) :

"look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies (cheering)"
"look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen eigthies (cheering)"
"look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century (cheering)"
"look at mother nature on the run in the twenty-first century (cheering)"

There's gotta be an Atlanta shout-out on the Lynyrd Skynyrd "One More For From The Road" live album.

"play it pretty for Atlanta", on "Free Bird". Cheers ensue.

Cf. the way every time Stevie Nicks sings "Landslide," she nods gently every time she sings "I'm getting older too," as if in resigned acknowledgement that it is, in fact, so.

Atlanta gets a pretty sweet shout-out on BOC's Some Enchanted Evening: "Atlanta's pretty special for us, about 4 years ago it's the first place we headlined and sold out-we never forgot"

Atlanta looks like the king of this thread. It's kind of a musical name for a city.

Don't know if live comedy albums apply, but one of Richard Pryor's live albums was in D.C., and I think he gives a shout out to D.C. and does a small bit about D.C. too.

Lots of shout outs to San Antonio and Dallas on Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo.

At least he doesn't do this on Intensities in Ten Cities or the album would never end.
