Pink Floyd's Live in Pompeii, Ummagumma live CD, and PULSE, Roger Waters In the Flesh. Yes's Symphonic, and Keys to ascension. Dream Theater's Live at Budokan. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded (great versions of the songs, some of them you may not even recognize).

Top of my head, Kansas - Two For The Show remaster.  May be some kind of bias due to it being the most recent live album I've got a copy of.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A couple of songs originally written for Hawkwind do it? Wink
 
Your just trying to Angry me now!

"Motorhead" are actually named after a Hawkwind song. It came out as a single as about the same time as "Warrior on the Edge of Time" and has been included on some CD-versions of that album.
I think we all know that.

Forgot about that one... It is!

Probably my favourite renditions of both Starship Trooper and Gates Of Delirium ever...

The Word is Live!
Not really... I just love the title.
9012live is great too, but that's not an album.

Just a little correction: It was the school of my brother, who is ten years older than I am. He was at the gymnasium, I was still in elementary school at that time. He took me along because he knew I liked the music he listened to, and he let me sit on his shoulders, so I had a first class view of the show.
