Live CD Recommendations

I have been on a live CD kick lately and would love to hear some recommendations. I am interested in not only good music, but also good recordings of the live event.

I really enjoy Who / Live at Leeds, Talking Heads / Stop Making Sense and Cheap Trick / Budokan. Stuff like that.

Any suggestions for live CDs that are recorded especially well?

Bonus points for any Prince or Elton recommendations.

Any genre.

folks laugh at diana krall being a rote audiophile geek artist...
but her live in paris album/cd is among the best recorded live cd’s i’ve run across

i use it (among others) as a stress test for any component or system

keith jarrett live at blue note series also tip top, but it is just of a piano trio
