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.

I love live albums as well and you already have some classic suggestions. Lately, I have been backing into recordings by festival and have had good luck with recordings from Glastonbury. Yes, Bowie, and REM are all excellent- especially the Bowie set.

jtcf,
A big YES for the Hot Tuna album! I listen to it often for pleasure and as a test/demo record for electric bass. Amazing sonics! 

bkeske,
Love the reference to what Mayall says to the audience.
No more "Room to Move"...those days are way in the past.

Yanni... Live at the Acropolis. I believe was the most expensive recording up to that date. Sounds gorgeous.
Nils Lofgren... Acoustic live. Best recorded rendition of Kieth Don't Go
