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.

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.
