A question I don't remember ever coming up here. My favorite is Live at Leeds, personally.

Made in Japan or Band of Gypsies from the list. The Allman Brothers' Live at Fillmore East that is not on the list.

The Doors. My favourite band on this list and the best live band on this list.

Talking Heads. Great compilation of early album work through the expanded band-including Adrian Belew-performances on the Remain in Light tour.

from the list Deep Purple Made In Japan. I rate also Led Zeppelin and Talking Heads very high.
But, the ultimate live album for me is very probably The Allman Brothers' Live At Filmore East ...

Live/Dead.....not to mention the slew of mesmerizing GD sets available from 66-69 (and I mean mesmerizing, they definitely influenced the Krautrock and electronica movements).

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I haven't heard most of these, but Band of Gypsys has been one of my favourite albums.The one of these I'd most like to hear is David Bowie's Stage.

Live at Leeds for me.
I have the deluxe edition with the performance of Tommy, so it only adds to the brilliance.
5* album and beats all the rest here with no competition imo.

Great Blues album featuring some of the best slide guitar work you're ever likely to hear still doesn't make it the ultimate live album IMO. Give me any number of live Cream albums featuring Baker on drums and Bruce on the base. Eric Clapton and Duane Allman nullify each other on guitar.
From the list, Made in Japan and Live at Leeds are miles in front of the others.

I can't stand How The West Was Won, I don't get why there's so much praise for it. there's no doubt about the brilliance of Live At Leeds though. That's my vote.

My favorite is Live/Dead by the Grateful Dead. It's an absolutely genius live musical suite with a 23-minute Dark Star, featuring epic, legendary musical interplay and dialogue, time signature changes, moods, worlds of sounds woven together. If you don't know this record, your musical schooling is not complete.

From the list it must be Made in Japan or Live at Leeds. Some inclusions are very weird: why Extraterrestrial live and not Some Enchanted Evening or On your feet or on your knees? How the west was won is a good live album but its release date (decades after the band is dead) is strange. And Queen's Wembley is good but Live Killers kills it almost without effort.
But I choose On Stage from Rainbow. A great live album that show to the world that the soul of DP was still alive and reincarnated in another body, with goals but still making incredible good music. And it's a pity that it hasn't any single vote.
