It´s impossible name 5, so I give you 10...

COLOSSEUM LIVE, March 1971 2LP virtuoso play & musicianship, hard to beat really
Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii, 1971
Yessongs, 1972 3LP live perfection
MOUNTAIN Twin Peaks 2LP, the heaviest & fuzziest bass sound captured on vinyl. Period. Felix Pallalardi rules thanks man RIP
Emerson. Lake & Palmer 1974 3LP, they made it ever better live, that´s why critics hated them LOL
Blue Öyster Cult: On Your Feet or on Your Knees, 1975 2LP much better live Buck Dharma rules
UFO - Strangers in the Night, 1978 2LP Michael Schenker rules
GENESIS LIVE, 1973 what a shame "Supper´s Ready" didn´t get on vinyl
Uriah Heep Live January 1973 2LP, the best rock´n´roll ever captured on vinyl. Gary Thain rulez the best rock bassist. David Byron the best performer. Period. RIP
Bando del Mutuo Soccorso: Sequendo le Tracce, 1975 is something else :) RIP Francesco, you are the greatest

Barclay James Harvest Live, 2LP 1974 (had to remind another great live recording...) RIP Woolly & Mel

Talking Heads - "The Name of this Band is Talking Heads"

I don't even like live recordings, but this one just kills.

Jerry Garcia Band / Almost Acoustic
Lambchop / Live at XX Merge
King Crimson / B'Boom (Live in Argentina) 
Magnolia Electric Company / Trials & Errors
Phish / 10-31-94

Great energy in all of these. I love to hear a band recorded live that is obviously enjoying the music "with" the audience. These all capture that in spades.

I agree with most of the listings so far.

So here is curve ball from the traditional live recordings that has been listed.

I picked up a Blu Ray the other day. The title is The Scorpions MTV unplugged in Athens Greece 2013. Now, I have been just so-so of their heavy metal music. But this unplugged version is very, very good. Made me a fan. And as an added plus the sound quality is very good.

Check it out.
