The Best Live album

This is the most difficult question I've ever seen in this forum. I can't give my definitive answer but I would have to say Neil Young. Just not sure which one. Some of the players Neil surrounds himself with are the same guys he's surrounded himself with since 1970. He's been consistantly fantastic throughout his career. . For me Neil Young is why music is awesome. He's what I wish every musician should strive to be. Not in genre, but in heart. A truly close to perfect musician and amazing role model for future musicians.

Pretenders, "Isle of View". I recently saw a live Pretenders concert on cable. In concert they sound exactly like their records, mostly due to the talent of Chrissie Hynde. She has incredible stage presence and never missed a beat.

"In concert they sound exactly like their records"

I wish more artists would strive toward this ideal.
So many times you buy a live-in-concert disk (disk? I must be old!) and the band is up there thrashing, doing whatever they want, in the name of "artistic freedom".

Well, usually it sounds like crap and I feel ripped off.

Old thread, but a few of my favorites I did not see listed.

Columbia Records Radio Hour - Volume 1
Waifs: A Brief History
Beau Jocque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers: Git It, Beau Jocque!
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones: Live Art
Neil Young: Live at Massey Hall 1971
Live at the World Café: All are good
MTV Unplugged in New York: Nirvana

Fleetwood Mac The Dance is pretty darn good.
