Good sounding 70's live LPs...

The 3-lp 'Yessongs' by Yes is notoriously not well-recorded, but the performances are amazing.

Wally Heider recordings are very good. Marshall Tuckers two live sides from "Where We All Belong" are excellent. So is the music. Way more rock/jammed out tunes averaging 10 minutes long. Brand X "Livestock" is good as mentioned above. Kenwood Dennard plays drums on 3 tracks too in place of Collins. I like "Babylon By Bus" better than "Live" by Marley. I cn't think of any more. Trower live is a great performance but not a good recording. Billy Cobham/George Duke Band "Live in Europe" with a young Scofield and Alphonso Johnson on bass/stick is good.

If you liked Frampton try Live at the Fillmore by Humble Pie.
Also try Maximum Darkness by Man with special guest John Cipolina on Guitar.
Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Company.
The box set by The Boss Live 75/85
and one of my favorite obscure recordings One Live Badger/Badger with ex keyboardist from Yes Tony Kaye.

The Grateful Dead live recordings from the era have good sound quality to my ears. But people either seem to like the Dead or to really not like the Dead. Good recordings don't matter if you hate the music.

Agree on the LF Waiting for Columbus. Peter Gabriel Plays live (1983). Anything live by the Neville Brothers.
