The Byrds “Fillmore West, February 1969″ (clarence white man!)
Joe Cocker’s “Mad Dogs & Englishmen”
Grateful Dead’s “Europe ‘72″
Quicksilver Messenger Service’s “Happy Trails”
The Electric Prunes’ “Stockholm 1967″
Hot Tuna “Hot Tuna”
Delaney & Bonnie’s “On Tour” (despite my dislike of clapton, D&B outdo themselves)
Neil Young “Time Fades Away” (no question)
Allman Brothers Band “Live at the Fillmore East”
Gram Parsons “Fallen Angels Live 1973″ (technically not the best, but I still love it)
Hound Dog Taylor’s “Release the Hound”
Jefferson Airplane’s “Bless Its Pointed Little Head”

etc…

LIttle Feat’s Waiting For Columbus; go for the extended version. I too am not a huge fab of live recordings, as they tend to offer inferior versions of familiar tunes, often played too fast in the heat of the moment, but this one really delivers. Live Dead, of course; the Dead are one act that plays it very different on stage to in the studio, though both facets are brilliant. Finally, the live album from Floyd’s Ummagumma.

It’s not a live album, but The Who’s A Quick One from the Stones’ Rock n Roll Circus is my all time favourite live track.
