A few that weren't mentioned
John Hiatt "Hiatt comes alive at Budokan" a great rocking version of some of his best songs. Great rock.
Doc Watson "Doc and the Boys" and Doc & Merle Watson "Live and picking" a two-fer CD which will recharge your musical batteries.
Bill Evans "Waltz for Debby" part of the Village Vanguard live series.
Townes Van Zandt "Live at the Old Quarter" my first introduction to how a great songwriter can hold an audience
Richard Thompson "Small Town Romance" only accoustic though, and his live electric is the best.
I can't say any is best but depending on the mood they are great.
