Weather Report “8:30”
Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus
Agree that Marble Arch is a great one. Need to play it again some time soon…
I think this one is up there - the great Ray Brown. Available via Tidal. There are so many great jazz live albums, though.
Lotus was another great Santana live album…
Bob Marley Live
Donny Hathaway Live
I still enjoy Elton Johns live album 17-11-70, especially if you’ve lucky enough to have the second album. Recorded in LA and at a time when he was just taking off.
If you can work out how to open it
Luckily my version is a dual cd in a plastic case!
My answer to this question is always strangers in the night by UFO. A few other favourites are real live by Frank Marino, in transit by saga , live and let live by twelfth night (also their live at the target album) and John Martin bbc radio 1 live in concert, the Glastonbury live part of that is fantastic.

Sam Cooke at the harlem sqaure club very energetic performance from a young sam
Eva Cassidy “Night Bird” performed live at Blues Alley Jazz club January 3 1996.
This album brings tears to my eyes regularly. Unfortunately she passed away some 8 months after this recording truly truly very very sad. An AMAZING performer. I’ve never herd a live show do what this album can do to the human condition.

ABBA - Live at Wembley Arena
Motorhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith
Keith Jarret - Koln concert
Ian Dury and the Blockheads - Warts ‘n’ Audience

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Live from The Hollywood Bowl
Incredible timing and no post production over-dubbing at all. Recorded exactly as it sounded live.
Man, maximum darkness. takes me back to their many great gigs at b/ham townhall.
