*** SRV did an Unplugged, but I don't think an album was ever released

I don't know you but man am I glad you "allowed" the original... got a laugh here.

 

Didn't look at the list but always liked Tull's Bursting Out and Zappa Live in New York.

 

And this one:

 

 

 

Great call, love this one.

 

Not prog IMO :) ... but who cares about labels anyway.

No mention yet of Grateful Dead Europe 72?

I loved The Name of This Band is Talking Heads. Memories (can’t wait) is one of my favorite songs from that one.

Both are triple albums.

Frampton Comes Alive is rare for me in that I think it's an all time great but I never really listened to much else by him before or after.

 

Little Feat's Waiting For Columbus would probably make my top 10.

 

Other ones I like that didn't make the Rolling Stone list that I don't think have been mentioned in the thread yet:

 

Rush: All the Worlds a Stage

Yes: Yessongs

UFO: Strangers in the Night

Stiff Little Fingers: Hanx

SRV: Live Alive

Eric Clapton: Just One Night

Blue Oyster Cult: Some Enchanted Evening

Umphreys McGee: Hall of Fame 2011

Govt Mule: Mulennium or Deepest End Live or....

Zappa: Just Another Band From LA

 

Bottom line is there's too much to choose from.

Holy cow, I can't believe I forgot about Europe '72.  What a great album... it's what really turned me on to the Dead.

Nirvana's MTV Unplugged was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread topic.  One of my all time favorite live albums given the completely unexpected direction they took with it. 

 

While it's not all one single live show, From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah is also a phenomenal, if not bittersweet, live album.  My biggest musical regret, despite several inopportune opportunities I never saw them live.

Wilco - Kicking Television 

^ awesome live album.  If people are not familiar with Wilco, I recommend this album  as a starting point. Great live band

 

Allman Brothers at Fillmore is considered one of the greatest live recordings ever

1971's Humble Pie's Rockin the Fillmore was always good. I used to play it on one of my first Marantz amps! Also, the collection with Eric Clapton and BB King, and the Doors Absolutely Live. You can hear girls yelling Jim!

Nice call on the Doors. Haven't heard that one in ages.
