Best live album?

^^^ this. I'm not getting tired of listening to Waiting for Columbus after almost 40 years. And Kenny Gradney provides one of my all-time favorite basslines in Feats Don't Fail Me Now.
Would like to add
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Person To Person

I call that one of the poopiest live performances that has ever been brought to stage. Never saw someone raping the Solo of "Comfortably numb" in such a cruel way. Not to mention the shitload of bad vocalists along the show.
Nevertheless (as a german) I remember that we were all glued to the TV when it was broadcasted live. Although a bad performance in my opinion, it remains the biggest production ever brought to stage and the only one that happened in two different countries simultaneously.
I prefer PULSE (both CD and DVD) as possibly the best live performance. Although there had been some dubbing here and there from other shows at the same venue, it reflects the perfection of this production in sound, playing skills and atmosphere. Having "the dark side of the moon" in it entirely is just the icing.
In general, Machine Head shows are what I enjoy most, but it is impossible to capture that in a DVD or any form of recording. You have to be there, I have all their live albums but I have to say they suck in a way.
Oh, and Blind Guardians live performance at the Blind Guardian festival (not sure whether or not that is available as CD, it is as DVD for certain)
I tend to really enjoy live records on vinyl! Crank em up and get right into it! My two favorites over time have become Thin Lizzy and Bob Marley! I could listen to these two albums anytime!
I am almost embarrassed for the Talk Bass community that it took 3 pages to mention PULSE.
For shame!
I get that not everyone likes every genre but that concert was the pinnacle of music and of a live performance for me. I watch it regularly and the whole thing sends chills down my spine every time.
Guy Pratt's playing is amazing through every song.
My honourable mention list:
Dream Theater - Live at Budokan
David Bowie - Live
BB King - Live (2006...I think)
Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio
The Eagles - When Hell Freezes Over
Elton John. 17/11/70. Some nice work from a trio.
Sure, Frampton's album was good, I agree, but I grad HS in '77 and have to say if I hear anything off that album one more time, it will be too damn soon.
