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 just great. I get that sense of being in the club. Dynamic recording heavy on bass, the room just throbs.

For Ten Years After, check out Undead. Maybe only half of it is live, but man, could they play.

The Hugh Masekela album"Hope" is live. Not much of a live feel, but great sonics and pretty good music.

Bill Evans: Sunday at the Village Vangard. Yes, I know that this is probably a cliche, but, to me, this is a benchmark for excellence in performance. The reocrding ain't bad either. I just can't get over the fact that Scott LaFaro would be dead two weeks after this gig! Sad.
