Best Live Recording on LP

Someone started an interesting thread about generating a list of great live recordings on CD. However, that is the wrong type of media for my system. (My turntable sounds much better than my CD player).

Therefore, please suggest some really great live recordings on LP. (I listen to Rock mostly and some Jazz.)

Here are a couple of recordings (on LP) that did not appear on that list in the above mentioned thread, that I think have merit.

"Jazz at the Pawnshop" on the Propious (sic) label.

Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary" on 12"/45rpm reissue on the Classic label (I think).

Neil Young's "Live Rust" on Japanese import.

Also, Guys (and Gals), here is a question for you: Is it worth paying the extra money for the 12"/45rpm version of Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie"? Or does the 180g version sound nearly as good?

david gilmour live in gdansk has to be up there as one of the best live lps

Oilmanmojo,

You can listen to how they mixed that concert for DVD (which is awesome too) here with Andrew Jackson's interview at David Gilmour's Studio.(Andrew Jackson was the sound engineer.) It is an interesting story - just click on Watch the "video feature" with legendary Pink Floyd recording engineer Andy Jackson. Like most engineers he is not all that keen on the center channel...a nod to two channel.
