Favorite live album?

Live At LeeRAB from The Who, most difinetely.

But Quicksilver Messenger Service's Happy Trails, MC5's Kick Out The Jams, Phish's A Live One, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged, The Allman Brothers Band Live At Fillmore East, Yes's Yessongs and Jimi Hendrix's Band Of Gypsies are good runner ups.
 
Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust The Motion Picture Soundtrack

Pearl Jam - This band is nearly always great live
 
ya, im not a big fan of nirvana, never really was..the unplugged album though is where kurts vocal style shine IMO. Theres a local music channel here that plays alot of old nirvana footage and some of it is pretty interesting, like footage from house parties or when they played smells like teen spirit on a japan(?) station and kurt was so loaded he sounded like the guy from Rammstein, put a cool twist on the song.

The Make Up - Destination Love Live At Cold Rice
 
Jeff Mangum-Live At Jittery Joe's
Built to Spill-Live
Pixies-At the BBC(I'm not sure if that one's live but it seems to be)

... And Ruin Johnny's Bar Mitsvah by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is pretty rockin' too.
 
I gave Live at Budokan some seirous consideration. Its a great album. Its hartd for me, because I have an entire archive of fully mixed and mastered soundboard direct bootlegs of live shows that Iv'e done sound for, so some of my favorite live albums haven't and will never be publicly released.
