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?

All double albums, of course. The very best from The Golden Age of Rock.
The originals are the best... 
However, UFO´s double live reissue has 2 extra track that were originally recorded but never get to the original release, now this reissue has the right performance order as well. I will buy it soon...

It´s a pity Pink Floyd never released a double live album from their most creative period (Ummagumma - Meddle - The Moon) era... So the BBC recordings mentioned are really interesting. Thanks for the wink :)

Is the GENESIS LIVE reissue on Classic Records really better dynamically than the original UK edition on Charisma ? It´s pity a double album never was released as it would have included a powerful version of "Supper´s Ready" :/
