My vote goes to: John McLaughlin Trio at the Royal Festival Hall (1989).
John McLaughlin, Trilok Gurtu, Kai Ekhardt.
Gobsmacking playing and an absolutely flawless recording quality.
Oh, and:

... but only because I'm on it... 😉
That Mclaughlin gig is amazing.. Doesnt beat iron maiden, live after death though.
Bob Dylan at the Budokan, although it was slated.
Thunders live double album is great, as is the first Queen live album - Live Killers? - far more atmospheric than the 1985 Wembley gig that gets all the attention
Metallica - S&M got to be the best live album ever
The Ramones - It's Alive. Seminal. Basically one long track interspersed with something like 36 x "1234"
Muse - Haarp (live at wembley) is amazing
The live bonus disc with 'Chimaira' by Chimaira - [url=
Hatred[/url] sounds so much better live
Marillion - La Gazza Ladra
JR Cash at Folsom Prison.

Bjork - Vespertine Live is pretty amazing. But then it would be, because she's fantastic 🙂
My vote however also goes to Nirvana - Unplugged In New York. Utterly captivating and really captures the spirit of the band. The cover of Bowies The Man Who Sold The World is one of my favourite songs of all time.
New Model Army ...And Nobody Else
Van Morrison - A Night in San Fransisco. Played endlessy for far too many years.
simple minds, live in city of lights?
101 - Depeche Mode.
U2 - Live at Red Rocks
it's "under a blood red sky" derek.
simple minds live in the city of light LOL loved that in my teens!
The Velvet Underground's 1969 live album.
no one mentioned "if you want blood" yet, shame on you all
The Allman Brothers Band - Live at the Fillmore East.
The Stranglers and Friends - Live
King Crimson - The Great Deceiver
I've been pretty impressed with Muse HAARP recently.
Four easy listening faves I couldn't choose between.
Skinny Puppy - Ain't it dead yet? - 68 minutes all on track one of the CD!
Spiritualized - @ Royal Albert Hall.
Ministry - In Case you didn't feel like showing up.
Revolting Cocks - You goddamned son of a bitch.

Rory Gallagher - Irish Tour
It was years before I even bothered buying any of his studio stuff, didn't see the point!
I think my favourite has to be The Orb live @ Glastonbury 1993 it was a good experience for me there & then - and I enjoyed hearing some of the set again on the LP Orb Live'93 or on the tape I sernedipitously recored off Radio 1 not long afterwards
Mind you Orbital played the following year, and the live Gasto compoliation album releeased awile back inspires too
Neil Young - Live Rust.
Rainbows Onstage closely followed by the Scorpions Tokyo Tapes and Deep Purples Made in Japan
Strangely enough it was all that "Scream for Me Long Beach" that spoilt Live after Death for me
Live & Dangerous Thin Lizzy, much better than their studio stuff
R.I.P by rocket from the crypt. Excellent! 🙂
Second vote for Nirvana : Unplugged in N.Y.
All time favourite would be Hanx - Stiff Little Fingers - the amount of energy they put into it was amazing!
I saw them live when I was much younger and the only band I've seen that were better were the Clash, makes me feel old.
Also was actuall at
U2 - Live at Red Rocks AKA "under a blood red sky"
