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

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense sounds great on any format, LP, CD and is even available on DVD).

A vote for Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club as well, that Album is the "real deal".

I addition to many of the great recommendations above, also consider:

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live at Luther College

Hot Tuna, recorded live at the new orleans house, berkeley 1969

Rory Gallagher, BBC Sessions

Bruce Hornsby, Here Come the Noise Makers

Joe Bonamassa, A New Day Yesterday Live

Its hard to pick a 'Best' live album. Hot Tuna is excellent when I'm in a more laid back mood. This is an acoustic set recorded in a small club atmosphere. When I want something with raw energy, Joe Bonamassa, A New Day Yesterday Live never fails.
