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.

I like my live recordings to have an element of rawness and improvisation.

Allman Bros... "Live at Filmore East" (I love improvisation and no other rock band has ever done that better than the Brother's, especially with Duane... incidently I saw them live last year and it was by far the best show I've seen in years... they still got it)
Johnny Cash... "Folsom Prison Blues"
Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes... "Live at the Creek"
Eva Cassidy... "Live at Blues Alley".

My all time favorite is a live bootleg Grateful Dead recording at Cornell University in 1977. This recording really captures their "wall of sound" they had during that time and their improvisational prowess which makes their live stuff so great. I am by no means a Dead Head... but when you listen to their good live recordings it is obvious that Jerry Garcia is a stone cold genious.
Gentleman, I stand corrected. Frankly, I didn't know this show was famous. A friend gave me this cd and I've loved it for years. Thanks for the info..
I checked out Dick's Pick and was wowed. Any, recommendations from our Dead friends? Also, does anyone know of any other sites or bands that offer this kind of live recordings? I would love to find some old JJ Cale, Allman Bros, Van Morrison, etc...
