Intimate Live Acoustic Recordings

Put away all the Christmas decorations and tree yesterday - all located in listening area. What a difference! All the Christmas stuff must have been sucking up half the music. Anyway, revisited two live acoustic recordings, first an old MTV Unplugged Collection (I think the first with Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Elton John, etc) and then Clapton's Unplugged. Both have superb SQ, very "in the room" sounding even at low volume levels. There must be a few more of these gems out there - any recommendations?

Some of my favorites are:
Doug MacLeod- "There's a Time" and "Exactly Like This" VERY well recorded.
Harry Manx- "Road Ragas" Manx plays an instrument called a moganveta which is a 6 string guitar over a 32 string sitar. He plays a bluesy style and can fill a room with this instrument.

Dimeola/McLaughlin/Delucia- "Friday Night in San Francisco" This is the grandfather of acoustic pyrotechnics from three masters.

Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks: Where's The Money. Recorded live at The Troubadour in 1971. Great music, great sound.
