"Live Dates" by Wishbone Ash should be on the list too.

I'm not head over heels in love with any of the choices, though I consider at least half of them to be very good.

My favorite prog-related/proto-prog live album (or just favorite live album, period) is Golden Earring Live, from 1977. 

Candy's Going Bad
She Flies on Strange Wings
Mad Love Comin'
Radar Love
Just Like Vince Taylor
Eight Miles High
Vanilla Queen
To the Hilt
Fightin' Windmills
Con Man

Perfect.

Band of Gypsys. But i prefer Live at Fillmore something which has the full set, or at least more of it.

Toss up between Queen and BOC.  Went with Queen. 
 
Stage was ok, but I prefer David Live over that one.  And I prefer Live Evil over Live at Last.

My vote goes to Led Zeppelin, but not the listed album. "The Song Remains the Same" is my choice.

From the list it must be Made in Japan or Live at Leeds. Some inclusions are very weird: why Extraterrestrial live and not Some Enchanted Evening or On your feet or on your knees? How the west was won is a good live album but its release date (decades after the band is dead) is strange. And Queen's Wembley is good but Live Killers kills it almost without effort.

But I choose On Stage from Rainbow. A great live album that show to the world that the soul of DP was still alive and reincarnated in another body, with goals but still making incredible good music.  And it's a pity that it hasn't any single vote.
Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

My favorite is Live/Dead by the Grateful Dead. It's an absolutely genius live musical suite with a 23-minute Dark Star, featuring epic, legendary musical interplay and dialogue, time signature changes, moods, worlds of sounds woven together. If you don't know this record, your musical schooling is not complete.

I can't stand How The West Was Won, I don't get why there's so much praise for it. there's no doubt about the brilliance of Live At Leeds though. That's my vote.

Great Blues album featuring some of the best slide guitar work you're ever likely to hear still doesn't make it the ultimate live album IMO. Give me any number of live Cream albums featuring Baker on drums and Bruce on the base. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman nullify each other on guitar.

From the list, Made in Japan and Live at Leeds are miles in front of the others.

Live at Leeds for me.

I have the deluxe edition with the performance of Tommy, so it only adds to the brilliance.

5* album and beats all the rest here with no competition imo.

I haven't heard most of these, but Band of Gypsys has been one of my favourite albums.The one of these I'd most like to hear is David Bowie's Stage.
Duos for fave acts

Live/Dead.....not to mention the slew of mesmerizing GD sets available from 66-69 (and I mean mesmerizing, they definitely influenced the Krautrock and electronica movements).

Talking Heads. Great compilation of early album work through the expanded band-including Adrian Belew-performances on the Remain in Light tour.
