flawless performances always bored me, I'd say ELP's Mussorgsky or Bursting Out

Song Remains the Same
or Band of Gypsys for non-Prog

Why? It's a flawless performance, and there's only a small audience that you don't hear or see. Instead of focusing on the crowd or the interaction of the musicians with the audience, this show focuses on the music.

Exactly what I was going to say, but you said it better than me. Smile

Hard to say; there are so many excellent ones. I actually prefer live albums to studio albums. A few of my favourites:
Guru Guru - Live (1978)
Magma - Live / Hhai (1975)
Frumpy - Live (1973)
Gong - Live au Bataclan (1973)
Peter Hammill - There Goes the Daylight (1993)
Van der Graaf Generator - Vital (1978)
Hawkwind - Live Chronicles (1986)
Kraan - Live 75 (1975)
Colosseum - Live (1971)

I could go on and on.

LP - Camel's A Live Record
DVD - IQ's Stage 2

Honorable mentions go to Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall, Barclay James Harvest Live, Wishbone Ash's  Live Dates (1), Horslips Live and Gentle Giant's Playing the Fool.

However, THE best live album ever is outside prog; Runrig's Once in a Lifetime is simply astonishing.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.
