I don't know that I have 10 favorites, but however many I have, they'd include Joni Mitchell's Miles of Aisles, CSN&Y's Four-Way Street and Bruce Cockburn's early acoustic set, Circles in the Stream.

I guess it depends on what kind of Live albums you mean cause I've got non-Rock based Live Albums and Rock Based Live Albums.

For instance:

Harry Belafonte - Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall
Hally Belafonte - Belafonte At Carnegie Hall

Are two excellent albums, while Belafonte at Carnegie Hall is great, Belafonte Returns to Carnegie Hall is excellent cause it showcases a number of performers.

I've personally got too many Live Rock based concerts, I'd have to sort through them just to say 10 - and I've got Concerts on DVD as well so double jeapody.

Okay Rock Based these come to mind:

The Yardbirds - Five Live Yardbirds

Okay soundwise the quality isn't great, but the whole atmosphere in that club where they performed (crawdaddy or something) is just mind blowing, and the band were simply jumping through those tracks - those were their tracks for the concert, I brought a cheap CD of it and simply played it til I saw a Digitally Remastered copy of it with a few bonus tracks (the majority of those sounding pretty good), and the other 10 tracks sounded a little bit clearer.

Pink Floyd - Pulse

I reckon this is one of the best concerts - even without the talents of Roger Waters, I thought it was a nice array of songs and that they were happy to throw in Astronomy Domine I guess as a tribute to Syd Barrett, and they seem to have a nice showcase of songs from their last 2 studio albums at that time - A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, and with Dark Side of The Moon being done live on the 2CD - what more would you want (besides a DVD of it! )

Toto - Livefields 1999

I thought it was a nice showcase of songs demonstrating just about everything Toto had done at one point or another.

Peter, Paul & Mary - In Concert

A truly great album for fans of Folk this is a must have concert which exhibits a range of great folk songs as well as some popular hits which they had earlier, as well as some funny moments!

Simon & Garfunkel - Live From New York City, 1967.

While the Simon & Garfunkel Old Friends tour in recent times was a welcoming concert to hear for myself, this concert which they did in 1967 is a bit of a treasure for me and it highlights simply how Simon & Garfunkel were when they first started in 1964 with Wednesday Morning 3am, except it's 1967 and now were going to show you what our later electrified songs sound like at a folk acoustic level! Which is quite interesting and it has some other interesting songs you don't even hear on their studio albums!
