@bassbuyer - they can really add up! I got all the Dicks Picks, but I had to pass on ol' Dave. What I do love are those annual deluxe boxes they put out; I've got every one of those since the first one from the 'Live Dead' Fillmore shows... This year's 1978 one was spectacular; just as good a year as '77 I think, but a bit less spacey and somewhat more rockin' out. 

Jazz albums would take too much space, so will post a few albums that are perhaps less widely known, but excellent.  I have listened them when I was a little young boy...

Beck, Bogert, Appice 'Live' (1973)

Bruce Springsteen Piece De Resistance bootleg (Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ 9/19/78)

Bill Evans Sunday at the Village Vanguard

So much live Dead.  I started with Dick’s picks and now Dave’s picks.  A new live CD set every 3 months.  

The Kinks- One For The Road.

Not that much into live albums (except my large collection of Grateful Dead box sets, but that's a whole nother thing), but I'll throw in a vote for UFO 'Strangers In The Night' as well, with an honorable mention to Blue Oyster Cult's 'Extraterrestrial Live' double album, which I like even better than 'Some Enchanted Evening'.... 

I love that UFO album.  So well recorded.  

1. UFO - Strangers in the Night

Bob Dylan - Live 1966 “The Royal Albert Hall” Concert

Joe Cocker - Mad Dogs and Englishmen 

Van Morrison - It’s Too Late to Stop Now 

John Coltrane - The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Recordings 

Les McCann and Eddie Harris - Swiss Movement 

The Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East

The Velvet Underground - 1969 Velvet Underground Live With Lou Reed

The Band - Rock of Ages

Nirvana - Unplugged In New York 

The Who - Live At Leeds

Wow, so much less work when so many great recordings have already been covered. A few to add:

Lew Tabakin, Trackin’

The Pentagon

Humble Pie, Rockin’ the Fillmore

Pink Floyd, Delicate Sound Of Thunder

Mary Chapin Carpenter, One Night Lonely

Harry James, The King James Version

Shawn Colvin, Live (There are two records with this title. Both good, the later, recorded at Yoshi’s, the better one, IMHO)

Allison Krauss and Union Station, Live (She is going back on the road again this year after a very long hiatus.)

Jethro Tull, Bursting Out

Joni Mitchell, Shadows and Light

Allman Brothers Band, Play All Night

Rickie Lee Jones, Naked Songs

Joni, Miles of Aisles

Excellent list thanks.  All 3 are classic.  The Last Waltz was a midnight moving showing back in the day.  Saw it on a lot of Saturday nights.  

My all time fav is still The Concert for Bangla Desh. Not a bad note. Not even when Leon comes in too soon in the trilogy. Second, The Last Waltz. Third, Stop Making Sense.
