The Best Live album

What are some good live albums/cds you own? Good sound is a nice bonus.

You may put down whatever you want such as "Get your ya ya's out", but are there some maybe we haven't all heard about yet?

The best I have bought lately is Delbert McClinton, "Live", a 2 CD set of a concert in Norway. Just excellent blues big band. I mean this album just smokes, Oh yeaahh, with excellent sound to boot.

Tonykay:

"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.
