The Best Live album

What are some good live albums/cds you own? Good sound is a nice bonus.

You may put down whatever you want such as "Get your ya ya's out", but are there some maybe we haven't all heard about yet?

The best I have bought lately is Delbert McClinton, "Live", a 2 CD set of a concert in Norway. Just excellent blues big band. I mean this album just smokes, Oh yeaahh, with excellent sound to boot.

Pick up a copy of John Williams and Julian Breem on RCA. Its a two record set that will blow you away ... if you like classical guitar. This is the one you'd be looking for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/JOHN-WILLIAMS-AND-JULIAN-BREAM-Live-DBL-LP-Classical-Guitar-RCA-Red-Seal-79-/291176929775?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43cb7f59ef

This depends on the genre. I will confine my answer to big band jazz. Three very famous live performance albums come to mind, in chronological order:
1. Bennie Goodman, Carnegie Hall, 1938
2. Duke Ellington, Newport 1958
3. Sinatra with Basie at the Sands, 1962

There are others, but these make most everyone's short list.

"One More For The Road" Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Just listened, I hope it finds it's way into a HiRez format.

If you want to hear some killer bass playing, check out Uriah Heep Live January 1973. Seriously.
