Peter Green has several live albums that are amazing.  Live at Ronny Scotts I believe also some albums under Peter Green's Splinter Group. A totally underappreciated artist. He put out some incredible music after he left Fleetwood Mac.

Cannonball Adderly: Mercy Mercy Mercy (Live). Had this in reel to reel back in the stay. Still listen to it on Qobuz.

Clifford Jordan: Live at Ethell’s. Maybe there is something to the Mapleshade approach. This proved to me that CDs can sound perfectly real if recorded properly. Love the clinking of glasses in the opener, Summer Serenade.
