I've got a few concerts taped from over-the-air broadcasts that are awesome shows, but of course they aren't on vinyl so they don't qualify.

Journey - Houston, TX. 1981
Robert Plant - Austin, TX. 1983
U2 - Red Rocks Ampitheater, COL. 1983

Oh my... how could I have forgotten about The Band?

Ok, I'm bumping The Allman Brothers "Live at the Fillmore" for The Band's "The Last Waltz".

Perhaps the Gold Standard for live albums.

so good, this band is very underrated, then the album "You can tuna piano, but you can't tune a fish" or whatever its called, makes me wonder why the only song I ever hear besides my own collection is "Take It On the Run"

Excellent thread. For me the best live albums are the ones where the band rocks a little harder than on the studio versions and plays them a little faster or somehow different and the recording is good. Here's my ten essential live albums:
1. Kiss Alive
2. Kiss Alive II
3. Live At Leeds - The Who
4. Fleetwood Mac Live (1980)
5. Get Yer Ya-Yas Out - Rolling Stones
6. Live Bootleg - Aerosmith
7. Speak Of The Devil - Ozzy Osbourne
8. Live At Last - Black Sabbath (currently available as Past Lives)
9. The Song Remains The Same - Led Zeppelin
10. Double Live Gonzo - Ted Nugent
