Some of my favourite live albums are these two masterpieces:

SBB 'Live in Karlstad'
Sylvian&Fripp 'Damage'
 
it's a pity that they have stayed overlooked...

I'm not really into live albums: they bands rarely live up to my expectations when comparing their performances to the studio versions. Also, it's so difficult to be unbiased after having seen a live concert or video of the same tour. But, here goes:

Paco deLucia, Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin A Saturday Night in San Francisco
Genesis Live
Tangerine Dream Encore
Frampton Comes Alive
Pink Floyd Pulse
Anekdoten Waking the Dead
Genesis Seconds Out
Nektar Live in NYC
Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall
Grand Funk Caught in the Act
