I don't think I even own any live prog Cry

Except maybe a Tull and a Strawbs, and they probably wouldn't be my faves.

My all time favourite live is probably Tim Buckley's Dream Letter: Live In London though.

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

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...

Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Deep Purple - Made in Japan
Pink Floyd - Ummagumma disc 1
Grateful Dead - Dick's Picks v.11 (Jersey City, 9/27/72)
