I need a live great recording

Eva Cassidy - "Live at Blues Alley"

Second Slipknot's Matthews/Reynolds two disk set - Damn that Tim Reynolds can play the guitar! Loved the little diddy about the girl who asked him directions in NYC!

Pletnev Live at Carnegie Hall

Harry Belafonte Live at Carnegie Hall

Jazz at the Pawnshop

Dianne Schuur & the Count Basie Orchesra. Even though it's a 1987 GPR digital master, absolutely incredible bass and can be played at extreme volume levels with very little if any grain. It your room is treated properly you will enjoy an incredible jazzy big band performance with sweet vocals.

Bill Evans "Sunday At The Village Vangard" and "Waltz For Debbie" are among the best records in Jazz history.
I love Keith Jarrett's At the Blue Note box set (worths the money).
Something newer and very interesting is Directions in Music: Live at Massey Hall from Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker and Roy Hargrove (unbelievable trumpet).

It's from Mapleshade, and about the only one of their offerings I continue to enjoy, Clifford Jordan Quartet, "Live at Ethel's."

a similar thread has been done before but I will chip in with:

Bravo Brubeck! very natural piano tone

and

I agree with: Eva Cassidy Live at Blues Alley, the atmosphere of a live venue is very apparent.
