Best Live Recording on LP

Someone started an interesting thread about generating a list of great live recordings on CD. However, that is the wrong type of media for my system. (My turntable sounds much better than my CD player).

Therefore, please suggest some really great live recordings on LP. (I listen to Rock mostly and some Jazz.)

Here are a couple of recordings (on LP) that did not appear on that list in the above mentioned thread, that I think have merit.

"Jazz at the Pawnshop" on the Propious (sic) label.

Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary" on 12"/45rpm reissue on the Classic label (I think).

Neil Young's "Live Rust" on Japanese import.

Also, Guys (and Gals), here is a question for you: Is it worth paying the extra money for the 12"/45rpm version of Bill Evans "Waltz for Debbie"? Or does the 180g version sound nearly as good?

The Weavers reunion at Carnegie Hall - must be the most realistic recording of voices i have ever heard - particularly Pete Seeger. I listen to this at least once a week. I listen from beginning to end, and by the time the finale ('round the world) comes round I am clapping and singing to "michael rowed the boat ashore".

Absolutely stunning.

Makes the investment in hardware wholly worthwhile.

The Weavers Carnegie Hall Reuniun 1963 and Harry Belefonte's Live at Carnegie Hall are both terrific live performances.

There are actually MANY good live albums, contrary to popular belief. Some have been mentioned and do a serach on threads to find mention of many more. One that might be a bit obsure and is rarely mentioned? "Livestock" by Brand X. Try it, you'll like it! At least I did. It include pre-Genesis Phil Collins, though the music is anything but Genesis-like and, if you like jazz, pick up a copy.
