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?

"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.

Rickie Lee Jones: "Naked Songs"
I agree with Rar1 about Nancy Griffith.

It might be a nostalgia thing, but I really like the latest release of the Bob Dylan bootleg series from the Rolling Thunder Review. I had the bootleg LP but it was stolen from me. This new set sounds much better than I remember the LPs sounding.
