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?

Jeffmazen,
good call on One From The Vault. Best of the 3 Vault releases so far, both in sonics and visuals. IMHO
I love good live performances. Here are some of my favorites:

Patricia Barber-Companion
I have not liked any other PB records that I've heard, but Companion is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite records. This is an inspired performance and a very good recording.

Eva Cassidy-Live at Blues Alley
Already mentioned above

BoDeans-Joe Dirt Car
A very good live rock show by a hard working touring band

Indigo Girls-1200 Curfews
Nice Doulbe Album. A compilation from many different live sources. Most of it is well recorded and Amy and Emily are really great performers. This was recorded several years ago before "the Girls" became political. I haven't heard a good Indigo Girls record since 1200 Curfews.

Little Feat-Waiting for Columbus
Mentioned above

Enjoy,

Dire Straits "on the night" and Sarah McLachlan "mirrorball" are both performed and recorded very well and will satisfy.
