Mine would have to be Cream "Live at Royal Albert Hall" . I've never heard such a good live recording before.

That does sound good...the reunion...? was better or is that the one you are referring to?

This is my first post, so I thought that this would be a good place to jump in. My favorite live music would have to be:
1. Allman Brothers - @ The Fillmore East
2. Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus
3. Grateful Dead - Skull and Roses
4. Lots of great Live Jazz.....too many to list

Cheap Trick at Budokan - may not be the best recorded live disc, but I LOVE it just the same.

Rush - Snakes & Arrows Live.

I second Neil Young at Massey Hall - beautiful.

My update: The BR of Jeff Beck@Ronnie Scotts. This guy is in a class of his own, and this show is stunning.

Oops... I already responded to this one. My bad. At least I was consistent.

Two fave live CDs:

Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus (not the original release that crammed almost all the music from the original double-live album onto one CD - that one sucks; the one I'm talking about is the double-live CD enhanced version that includes a bunch of tracks featuring more the the Turbo Tower of Power horn section and includes "Don't Bogart That Joint"

The other one is the re-release of The Who's Live at Leeds and includes all of the original album plus a number of other tracks on one CD and all of Tommy, live, recorded at the same concert. The sound is raw, but it's all about the immediacy of the performance.

Roxy & Elsewhere, Frank Zappa

I have this on vinyl, and it's an amazing recording.
