So much live Dead.  I started with Dick’s picks and now Dave’s picks.  A new live CD set every 3 months.  

Not that much into live albums (except my large collection of Grateful Dead box sets, but that's a whole nother thing), but I'll throw in a vote for UFO 'Strangers In The Night' as well, with an honorable mention to Blue Oyster Cult's 'Extraterrestrial Live' double album, which I like even better than 'Some Enchanted Evening'.... 

Bob Dylan - Live 1966 “The Royal Albert Hall” Concert

Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen 

Van Morrison - It’s Too Late to Stop Now

Excellent list thanks.  All 3 are classic.  The Last Waltz was a midnight moving showing back in the day.  Saw it on a lot of Saturday nights.  

My all time fav is still The Concert for Bangla Desh. Not a bad note. Not even when Leon comes in too soon in the trilogy. Second, The Last Waltz. Third, Stop Making Sense.
