Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording

I tend to like "live" recordings if done right...but these are often hit and miss...any suggestions?...open to all genres...for those fans of Portishead...live in NYC is a great show and an excellent recording to boot...also...Live at Leeds is considered by many to be the ultimate live rock recording...however...I was not that impressed with the latest remaster...somebody mentioned BB king live at the Regal on another post...is this really that good?

Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley" is a good recording, and Cowboy Junkies "Waltz Across America" is also good-- it's a compilation of live recordings on their last tour across the U.S. Both are favorites of mine. Cheers. Craig

"Live at the Regal" is very good but BB King's "Blues is King" recorded live in Chicago 2 years prior is a far better performance.
