I'm not sure if "Highly recommended purchase" is strong enough ?
I have the vinyl format & I bought the cd the very minute I have seen it !

I went with Bursting Out. Amazing Barlow drum solo.

Yessongs from this list by a wide margin.  I'd say definitive versions of Siberian Khatru, Perpetual Change, Long Distance Runaround/the Fish, Yours is No Disgrace and Starship Trooper.  Very good versions of Heart of the Sunrise, And You and I, Close to the Edge and the Wakeman solo.  Poor versions of Roundabout and Seen All Good People. 
 
From off the  list my fave would be Genesis Live.  I like every version there better than the studio, especially the guitar work in Musical Box and Hogweed.  And Renaissance Live at Carnegie should be there too.  Their version of Ashes Are Burning in a knockout.
Casting doubt on all I have to say...

I'm disappointed that 'A Live Record' by Camel is not on the list.
In my opinion this is the greatest live album ever recorded. It was originally a double vinyl LP but has been available for a few years as a double CD.  The second disc is a complete performance of The Snow Goose with a large string orchestra.  It surpasses the original album in power and emotional impact.  Andy Latimer's guitar playing is just beautiful.  One of those rare occasions where the recorded live performance is far superior to the origianl studio recordings.  I would go as far as saying that this is the best album that Camel ever recorded!

My pick from the list "Bursting Out" - Jethro Tull. My all time favourite though is "Made in Japan" - Deep Purple.

Also, does anybody know (or remember) "Woven Cord" by Iona with the "All Souls Orchestra" ?
It gives me a lot of shivers the first time I heard it
There isn't much record that as give me this reaction.
Since then, I am saying that David Bainbridge should be my new gourou of music - he is such a genius !

I went for JT's "Bursting Out" here:  at least, the sound mix wasn't unfairly low for the guitarist's input (unlike GENESIS') ;-))
 
Anyway, one live album I've been much into for the last 2 weeks is TWELFTH NIGHT's "Live and Let Live".
 
       Kind regards.
