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?

Oh, there have been some truly great ones mentioned. Just a few more:
Commander Cody - "Live from Armadillo Headquarters"
J. Giels Band - "Live - Full House"
Neil Diamond - "Hot August Night" (only ND worth owning)
Marlena Shaw - "Tokyo Live"
Stan Getz - "Gold"
Art Pepper - anything live is dynamite
Bob Seeger - "Live Bullet"
Weather Report - "8:30"
Yes - Yessongs
Guess Who - "Live at the Paramount" (A must for GW lovers - the CD version has bonus tracks but the LP sounds better, though rare)

Tvad, I'd am fairly certain that the Livestock LP is circa 1977.

4yanx is correct- Brand X's Livestock LP was recorded in two parts- London 8/76 at Ronnie Scotts and 8/77 at the Hammersmith Oden and the Marguee Club. Phil Collins plays drums on three of the five tracks.

Twl is correct about the awesome part.

Mahalo for reminding me to dust it off and give it a spin.
