I need a live great recording

Paul Barrere & Fred Tackett (the acoustic dou from Little Feat), Live From North Cafe

All Night Wrong - Allan Holdsworth, with Chad Wackerman (drums) and Jimmy Johnson (bass).

The sticker on the cd read something like:

"The greatest living guitar player in the world has finally released his first live recording. It's godlike."

Now, Holdsworth isn't a deity...but you've got to hear this one.

I almost forgot, Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men, "Out in California", a fantastic live rockabilly cd with very good sound and intense energy.

If you like bluegrass I recommend:

Alison Krauss + Union Station "Live"
The Johnson Mountain Boys "Live at the Old Schoolhouse"

Several posters recommended eric claptons unplugged...I agree, and the dvd is dramatically better soundwise than the cd..try it and see..you wont be sorry
