Best Live Album Ever...


Spent this afternoon listening to Genesis, "Seconds Out" album. Very good sound quality but amazing musicianship. Possibly my favorite live album ever. Also like Little Feat " Waiting for Columbus" and Van Morrison "Friday night in San Francisco" any other votes out there?

There are some excellent suggestions--I'd add B.B. King live at the Regal.
Those BBC "live" recordings, while usually great, are often really studio recordings, sometimes with overdubs. The Dire Straits and perhaps Led Zeppelin tapes are exceptions. Pretty sure the Beatles were "live in the studio" with no audience and in a very controlled situation.
