The Best Live album

What are some good live albums/cds you own? Good sound is a nice bonus.

You may put down whatever you want such as "Get your ya ya's out", but are there some maybe we haven't all heard about yet?

The best I have bought lately is Delbert McClinton, "Live", a 2 CD set of a concert in Norway. Just excellent blues big band. I mean this album just smokes, Oh yeaahh, with excellent sound to boot.

Thanks waltersalas, Tek, I also dig Crossroads 2. I've listened to A lot of Clapton and I think this is some of the best guitar he has recorded. It will convince the doubters that when Eric is into it, he may be the best.

Ian Hunter (of Mott the Hoople fame) Welcome to the Club.

This is a double album recorded at the Roxy in LA back in 1979. It is a small intimate setting where Ian does some great ballads and also rocks out. Does all the Mott the Hoople hits and a great version of Cleveland Rocks. (The song on the Drew Cary show)

At one point during an excellent song called "Irene Wilde" An overexuberient female fan lets out a blood curdling scream that, even when I've ready for it, freaks me out.
If you like Mott, this is worth a listen.

Joni Mitchell - "Miles of Aisles" w/ Tom Scott and the LA Express

Grateful Dead - "Nightful of Diamonds", ANY of the "Dick's Picks", "Live Dead"

Allman Brothers Band - "Live at Fillmore East", "Mountain Jam" (same night as the Fillmore recording, released on "Eat A Peach"

BTW: Anyone know if any of the Allman's or Deads's efforts at Watkins Glen (7/73 Summer Jam) ever make it out? Other than the Dead's soundcheck tapes from the day before.
