Please post your favourite John Coltrane live performance from any period. There's a catch though! You can only post one selection.
At this moment in time, I'm going with All of You - Live from Olympia Theatre, Paris - March 1960. His playing on this track is something else. His playing on Walkin', from the same gig is also epic. However, All of You, is my choice today!

I couldn't possibly choose! One Down, One Up is a potential contender.

Please post your favourite John Coltrane live performance from any period........ This is rather a fool’s errand…but then I am happy to wade in with my opinions…”where angels fear to tread…” This is difficult because there is so much fine work, and then Coltrane with Davis is different than Coltrane with his own classic quartet, and then Coltrane in the last period…
All of that being said, the live Coltrane album that has probably given me the most enjoyment over the years is the original 1966 LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD AGAIN! album (Impulse A-9124).
The set of concerts recorded in France in July of 1965 are noteworthy, for a variety of reasons: |

Live in Seattle with Pharoah Sanders, then. Speaking of Pharoah Sanders, Stereogum have an article on their site called The 50 Best Albums Of 2021 So Far, and Pharoah Sanders - Floating Points is at number 4: "Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders, & The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises (Luaka Bop) Rough Trade Spotify Apple Music A spectral piano motif twinkles into existence and vanishes into the silence. A saxophone trills and coos as if arising from slumber. An orchestra colors the edges of the frame with rising drama. Promises could have been so academic — titans of classical, avant-jazz, and experimental electronica delivering “a continuous piece of music in nine movements.” But as Pharoah Sanders uncorks the anguish of decades and the symphony surges from a drizzle of memory to a thunderstorm of feeling, this trans-generational meditation bypasses the head and aims directly at the heart. It’s a goddamn ballet — graceful, immersive, and awe-inspiring. —Chris" www.stereogum.com/2149054/best-albums-of-2021-so-far/lists/album-list/ |

I did not enjoy that album very much. I won't go into it too much, but I found it to be a disappointment.
