There are several ACL performances that are great.

Gary Moore "Live From London"

Buena Vista Social Club "Live @ Carnegie Hall"

I have noticed a bevy of new "live" titles recently released that were recorded by radio stations or are otherwise far from audiophile quality. A slew of Van Halen concerts releases come to mind. One needs to be careful when perusing at your local record store as some seem to hide the fact that they are of lesser recording quality. 

Tom Petty "Live Anthology"

Sarah McLaughlin "Mirrorball"

Creedence Clearwater Revival "Live at Woodstock"
