As regards 'real' prog, here are a few I like:

Yessongs/Yesshows - Yes
Live at Carnegie Hall - Renaissance
Welcome Back My Friends... - ELP
Camel - A Live Record
Magma - Live Hhai
The Night Watch/The Great Deceiver/Absent Lovers - King Crimson

And probably a ton of others I don't remember nowWink...

Playing the Fool for me.  But I have heard only one live KC album Night Watch and it was almost every bit as good, so this may change.  Live At Carnegie Hall is a great one of course and by some curious coincidence, has ended up serving equally well as a best of, it actually does sum up their best phase pretty well.  

But my favourite live rock album across genres is, by far, Judas Priest's Unleashed In The East.  Big smile

My personal favourites are three live DVD's, so it's a little off topic. However, Marbles Live by Marillion, Roger Waters In The Flesh, where his solo material is simply absorbing and awesome, and finally Yes Songs From The Tsongas, featuring the best live material, much of it acoustic, I have ever seen and heard from the band.

Mine is probably Marillion's Anorak In The UK. The production and sound could be some of the best that I've ever heard.

I don't usually prefered live albums over studio versions, but i have some exceptions :

1- Yes Yes Songs (The best period of Yes)
2- Gentle Giant Playing the Fool (i prefered the live versions)
3- Led Zepellin The Songs Remains... (not prog but really good)
Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

King Crimson has made several great live albums, like "The Great Deceiver" and "The Night Watch". These albums give the songs a whole new dimension, songs like "Easy Money" and "Exiles" are live so much better than on the studio albums. You have to like KC improvisation though, "The Great Deceiver" is full of it.

Pink Floyd also has some very good bootlegs, like "Animal Instincts" and "Live at the BBC 1970/1971", good quality and lots of extended solos, improvisation and simply great live playing.
