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

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.

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.  |

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 now  ...

Guru Guru's live album from 1978 can't be recommended highly enough; especially since most of the tracks on it are only available on that album. the only pity is you can't see the live show. Friede says they played at her school once around the time that live album was recorded when she was only 8 or 9, and the stage show for song's like "Medicine Man's Overdose" or "Der Elektrolurch" were simply fantastic. something I envy her for (though I had the occasion to see "Der Elektrolurch" live too meanwhile, but "Medicine Man's Overdose" is not played by them anymore)

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.

For DVD's, GG at the GG by Gentle Giant
And finally, outside prog, At Fillmore East by Allman Bros. and One more for from the road by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

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

Forgot about that one... It is!
Probably my favourite renditions of both Starship Trooper and Gates Of Delirium ever...
