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...

@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. 

1) TIE: "Europe ’72" and "Rock of Ages"

2) TIE: Allman Bros. "Live at Fillmore East" and L. Feat’s "Waiting for Columbus"

others in no particular order... on a different day, I might come up with a different list for the remaining 8 spots...

3) "Skull and Roses"

4) Laura Nyro "Season of Lights"

5) Steel Wheels "Live at Goose Creek"

6) "Band of Gypsys" box set

7) Miles Davis "My Funny Valentine"

8) NHOP: "Unforgettable NHOP Trio Live"

9) Sarah Vaughan "Live in Tokyo"

10) Oregon "1974"
