Best Live Recording on LP

Someone started an interesting thread about generating a list of great live recordings on CD. However, that is the wrong type of media for my system. (My turntable sounds much better than my CD player).

Therefore, please suggest some really great live recordings on LP. (I listen to Rock mostly and some Jazz.)

Here are a couple of recordings (on LP) that did not appear on that list in the above mentioned thread, that I think have merit.

"Jazz at the Pawnshop" on the Propious (sic) label.

Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary" on 12"/45rpm reissue on the Classic label (I think).

Neil Young's "Live Rust" on Japanese import.

Also, Guys (and Gals), here is a question for you: Is it worth paying the extra money for the 12"/45rpm version of Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie"? Or does the 180g version sound nearly as good?

At Fillmore East, The Allman Brothers, (any version) must be at in the list. Crank it up, on good equipment, and enjoy. Nothing compares...

If you like the Blues, "The London Muddy Waters Sessions" on Chess is a classic. Not only is it well recorded, the music is Muddy at his best. A gifted artist at his peak, it doesn't get any better than this.

I'm surprised noone's mentioned Bill Evans' 2 Village Vanguard recording, Live at the VV and Waltz for Debby. Both are essential jazz recordings as well as being well recorded live dates. They've also neen recently reissued as audiophile grade vinyl by analogue productions, I believe. Definitly worth looking into. Another recording I'm considering myself is Neil Young's Massey Hall concert, supposedly of excellent musical and recording quality. I love his early LPs, especial After the Gold Rush, so the above concert is very appealing.
