Best Live Recording on LP

Someone started an interesting thread about generating a list of great live recordings on CD. However, that is the wrong type of media for my system. (My turntable sounds much better than my CD player).

Therefore, please suggest some really great live recordings on LP. (I listen to Rock mostly and some Jazz.)

Here are a couple of recordings (on LP) that did not appear on that list in the above mentioned thread, that I think have merit.

"Jazz at the Pawnshop" on the Propious (sic) label.

Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary" on 12"/45rpm reissue on the Classic label (I think).

Neil Young's "Live Rust" on Japanese import.

Also, Guys (and Gals), here is a question for you: Is it worth paying the extra money for the 12"/45rpm version of Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie"? Or does the 180g version sound nearly as good?

Haven't heard the vinyl version of Dylan's "Bootleg Series Vol. 5 Bob Dylan 1975 The Rolling Thunder Revue" but the CD version is electrifying. There is a vinyl version. Can't imagine it would lose any of the electricity of the CD.

re my Dylan post and this one, no way I can say either of these are the "best" live recordings on LP...but, to me, definitely worth owning in almost any format

The Doors, "Absolutely Live".

If you like western swing/honky tonk style, check out Wayne "The Train" Hancock's "Swing Time". It was recorded at the Continental Club in Austin,Texas. Really well recorded and great songs.

The widely distributed bootleg of Allman Bros. '92 acoustic tour is a gem.
Van Morisson - It's Too Late To Stop Now is another winner.

Agree w/Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus
