Best live album you've ever heard?

This is certainly inspired by the album that is kickin' it very LOUD here. I have many many live albums by every one from A-Z, but NONE come close to this one except Johnny Winter And Live, or the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. The Stones' Get Your Ya Ya's Out has to be the best live rock'n'roll album ever. God bless Mick Taylor. I live in a concrete block house, and it is still shakin'. If any of you know of a better live recording than these, please fill me in. Thanks, Tom

great responses by some; i agree and append:

allmans: fillmore east
grateful dead: live dead
who: live at leeds (my personal favorite)
led zeppelin: how the west was won (if you don't have this, get it---its easily their best record!)
zappa: best band you've never heard in your life
sinatra: live in paris 65 (much better than the sands record)
