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.

Edgar Winter's White Trash live album. They are all on fire, especially Rick Derringer, and Johnny makes a surprise appearance. Probably my favorite live album, and sounds great too.
Also, John Mayall, Jazz Blues Fusion. Great players, great songs and great sound.

+1 one of my all time favorite recordings....”what did you come here for?, to hear on old record or something...” ;-D
Thank you all for all of the recommendations so far. Please keep them coming.

Forgot to mention Zeppelin ’How the West Was Won’ in my first post. Yes this one is a great live set and I do still listen to the CD. Maybe I will throw that one in later tonight. It does sounds great.

My immediate short list so far in no real order, but I will get to a lot more of these in due time.....

Allman Brothers Band - “Live at Filmore East”
Bonnie Raitt - “Road Tested” - I always liked her
Rush - “Rush in Rio” - Can’t believe I missed this one before
Sarah Mclachlan-Mirrorball.
Diana krall / live in paris - Listened to the first half of this on Spotify and I see what you mean about a good test. The CD that I just ordered ($3 on decluttr) will sound great I am sure.
UFO / Strangers in the night - This has been on my list for a while, thanks for bringing it up. Eddie Trunk is always talking about this one.
Roy Orbison: Black & White Night.
Dave Brubeck Quartet - “Live at Carnegie Hall”
Harry Chapin - ’Greatest Stories’
John Mayall

Keep them coming and we can all find something new.

I will post a complete list of all of the ones mentioned in about a week so it will all be in one place.

Thanks again.
Recommendations here are for the sound quality AND the quality of the artist.  I have hundreds of CD's and these are among the best of in terms of sound quality:

Absolute must if you like the Grateful Dead: May 1977 "Get Shown the Light", a compilation of 4 shows, arguably among their best shows ever.  Great sound, as if you are at the show.

Agree totally with The Who Live at Leeds, I have the Deluxe Edition, and it sounds fantastic.

Allman Brothers Live at The Fillmore 1971, an obvious pick, you can find it in SACD, but another one is their Live at the Atlanta International Pop Festival July 1970, a great live recording.

Another great Grateful Dead pick: also among their best shows, if you can find it: San Bernardino, Dicks Picks Vol. 29, 2/26/77.  Amazing sound quality.

Also recommend the Crosby, Stills & Nash 4 Way Street pick-- if you can find the 1992 remaster by Joe Gastwirt-- sound is amazing.
