Most Impressive Live Recording


I am looking for great recordings of live music. Something with impressive dynamic range that knocks your socks off and makes you feel you are really there.

So far, the top five most impressive Live CD recordings I own are;

#1: (And this one wins by a long long way) Tower of Power, Soul Vaccination, "What is Hip?"....if this doesn't completely blow you away then you may have a problem with your system.

#2: M People, Bizarre Fruit Live & Remixed, "Search for the Hero" (live version)

#3: Eagles, Hell Freezes Over, "Hotel California"

#4: Dire Straits, Money for Nothing, "Telegraph Road"

#5: Bryan Adams, MTV Unplugged, "Heaven"

Sadly there is a big difference between the quality of number 1 versus number 5....live recordings, it seems, are simply very hard to do well.

Anyone care to throw out some of their favorites? ( Note: This is not a favorite artist/musician thread....just great live recordings....whatever the genre)
