There are many classic double albums — from Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" to the Clash's "London Calling." We asked members of the E Street Band: Which ones would you have paid to see rendered live in concert in your dream world?

"Electric Ladyland," Jimi Hendrix

Nils Lofgren: "That would be amazing. That side with 'Still Raining,' 'House Burning Down,' 'All Along the Watchtower,' 'Voodoo Child' — it's one of the great sides in rock 'n' roll."

"Blonde on Blonde," Bob Dylan

Steven Van Zandt: "He'd have to sing the melodies now. He'd have to quit [messin'] around."

"The White Album," the Beatles

Lofgren: "Well, it's the Beatles. It might be the longest show they ever played."

"Exile on Main Street," the Rolling Stones

Lofgren: "That's one of my favorites ever. I still listen to that a lot. That's a lot of work to do live."

"Quadrophenia," the Who

Max Weinberg: "I saw 'Quadrophenia.' That may have been my son's first rock experience where he totally got it. He was 5. We were in the fifth row. He was on his seat. Fist pumping. He's now the drummer in Slipknot."
