i concur with this choice...

I remember exactly the first day i listened to it in 1977 i think...

I will chime in with two previously mentioned selections which I love but which are astonishingly different: The Koln Concert by Keith Jarrett and Swiss Movement - Live at Montreux!

I forgot a fourth, but a great fourth: "Norman Granz' 'Jazz At The Philharmonic' Hartford 1953"

A while back I thought I would buy another CD as a back up for the one I have already  I found one on ebay for $300!! The song Misty is on my CD and I love the way they perform that song  My son was considering a stereo rig after he heard this vid I made of one of the songs from the CD

Nice video!

The instruments used and the performances must have provided an awesome demonstration of high end sound.
