Been making notes from this one.

Most of my favourites have been mentioned, but I'll add the following:

Genesis - 3 sides live (In the Cage isn't on Seconds Out wink )
Supertramp - Live in Paris

The In The Cage / Cinema Show / Afterglow medley is utterly outstanding on Three Sides Live. It was a toss up between that album and Seconds Out for me.

I still like Yessongs even though half of it is over-dubbed.

Another classic for me : Slade Alive, with THE burp and best "Born to be wild" version EVAR.

Ten Years After "Recorded Live" with the cover showing the Stones mobile console,
and Fritz Rau introducing them "Live, in der Festhalle Frankfurt"

There was an album of the music from the opening night of the 2012 Olympics. Double CD.

That was great.

[quote=Mr_Yogi]One no doubt unfashionable nomination; Peter Gabriel - Secret World. Has the best version of Sledgehammer on it.[/quotee]

Agreed.... brilliant brilliant concert. Have watched it many times. Gabriel's live voice is stunning. Manu Katché on drums - a personal favourite.

Kraftwerk. Minimum maximum
Cracking choice, recently seen them live on the 3D tour and then picked up the 3D bluray.

I'm a massive New Order fan and must have well over 300+ live bootlegs, there are some amazing gigs within that lot - but they've never released a decent live concert officially aside from a couple of cracking VHS's from the 80's

Excellent- a vote for Slade Alive.
Whatever you think of the music (I like it, and I think I can now come out of the closet and say so) it's hard to beat the 'liveness' of this album. Although some claim it was cheating- I believe it was more a studio audience recording than a concert one.
