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.

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.

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
