Despite being a mad Genesis fan, out of that list The Who's Live At Leeds best captures a real, live, naked feel as Second's Out, wonderful though the music is, was 'doctored' with some discreet overdubbing and also would have benefitted from a meatier, more guitar-slanted mix in my view.
 
My fave that's not on the list is 801 Live, a truly magnificent live recording.

One of the albums I like best is "Live - Full House" by the J. Geils Band. From the list it's Live At Leeds.

From the list - difficult choice, but surprising to some perhaps, I went for Yessongs.
 
Also... Ummagumma, Pompei, DSOT and Pulse; Coma Divine; Stage; 12:5; Encore; June 1, 1974; 801 Live; Different Stages; The Roundhouse Tapes; Emperial Live Ceremony; Nocturne; Living Ornaments '81; Rust Never Sleeps; Live Bait For The Dead and The Black Parade Is Dead... to name but a few.
What?

^This

The energy on Bursting Out is electrifying. For musicianship, I'd go with Yessongs, but Bursting Out is so much fun to listen to I couldn't not vote for it.

Of those on the list, I'd go with Seconds Out - just ahead of The Thieving Magpie.

But I think that BJH Live, Camel's A Live Record, Renaissance's Live at Carnegie Hall, Wishbone Ash's Live Dates and Gentle Giant's Playing the Fool are all better. And if you want the ultimate live CD (even if it's not prog), Runrig's Once in a Lifetime is THE daddy; 45 minutes of utter genius. Finally, for the ultimate live DVD, IQ's Stage is utterly, completely and totally amazing (I'm watching it for about the 20th time this week and I simply never get bored of it).
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

ABB- Live at the Filmore is an outright masterpiece, by far and away the finest American live rock album . Wishbone Ash-Live Dates, Tangerine Dream- Ricochet, Yes- Live in Montreux, PTree- Warszawa, IQ- Stage, Colin Bass- Live Polskie Radio, Blackmore's Night-Paris Moon, Blue Oyster Cult- On your Feet..., Galahad- Resonance live in Poland,Gong-Live, Steve Hillage-Live Herald, Hawkwind- Live Chronicles, Iona- Live in London, Tony Levin Band- Double Expresso, Traffic- On the Road, Uriah Heep-Live 1973 are a few very good ones , not mentioned.
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

The one on the left looks like he could wrestle a bear. Wierd Al's look alike next to him doesn't look that threatening. And the rest resemble members of a Stonewall Jackson or James Longstreet brigade...
