Started thnkin' (first mistake) who've put together some great live performances onto discs form the classic rock era. The first band that came to mind was Deep Purple's Made In Japan, then I thought of Clapton's Just One Night and can't forget the expanded Live At Leeds by The Who. Those efforts are just scratchin' the surface. Whose got some others to investigate?
...two 'musts' for the list.... Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal and Lizzy's Live and Dangerous also Joe @ The Albert!.... whoops!... is that 3?!? 
The Allman Brothers - At Fillmore East
Yes - Yessongs
BB King - Live At The Regal

As many as you want Pete. I like that list too.
Rolling Stones - Get Yer YaYa's Out
CSNY - Four Way Street
Sandy
I'm with Pete & Lou Reed. That's the first that popped into my head. How about "Live Dates" by Wishbone Ash and "Irish Tour" by Rory Gallagher. One more, "Alive In An Ultra World" by Steve Vai. I've got more if you want 'em.
SRV Live - you could pick just about any SRV Live performance
Led Zep - Song Remains The Same.....or some of their better bootlegs!!!
Tangerine Dream - Richochet.....just to chill out !!!
AND (of course) ANY Joe Bonamassa live....anytime, anywhere !!!
ps: Get your ya ya's out and Rory.....a must too!
Humble Pie - Performance - Rockin' the Fillmore.
This was never off my turntable.
Hendrix-In the West...Cream- Wheels of Fire......Gary Moore-We want moore....Frank Zappa-You can't do that on stage anymore....
Mountain-Twin Peaks....Grand Funk-Live Album......Robin Trower-Live......Deep Purple-Made in Japan.....Glad I kept my vinyl....!
Don't forget Free Live and Live Taste.................

Not wanting to take anything away from a great topic, Scott, but we've thrashed this one out before here.
Not that we can't change our minds and make fresh lists, of course.

3 come to mind from the 70's, I tend to measure the success of all other live recordings by these. Still, Joe at RAH is one of the 5 best of all time, and LFNIP ain't shabby by any means.
Seconds Out - Genesis
Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat
Frampton Comes Alive
Tres
Neil Young- Live Rust
Luther Allison- Live In Chicago
Still find LFNIP one of the best sounding live albu.ms I've got.
That said, I see Rory has been mentioned but my favourite of his is actually
Taste - Live at the Isle of Wight. It's early Rory and absolutely pure. Some of favourite solo's of his on this album. 6 songs of gold.
Going off menu a bit I love
Radney Foster - Live at the Continental Club Austin. Feels like you are actually there!
Nils Lofgren Band - LIVE. One of the finest guitarists ever to walk the planet. This features the amazing Tim Beary on drums, one of the best players I have ever seen.
Bonnie Raitt - Road Tested. Sounded like a great show
Wishbone Ash - Live in Chicago. At the time with Ted Turner back in the band this sounded great although I gotta say Ash (The REAL Ash, Andy's version) present day, actually sound even better.

Thanks Phil for allowing this this once. Okay... how about The Doors Live At Pittsburgh 1970 or Jimi Hendrix Live At Berkeley? The Doors are pretty bluesy on that disc and Jimi sounds energized for the Leftcoast gig. Any comments?

Joe: LFNIP
Van Morrison: It´s too late to stop now
Van Morrison: A Night in San Francisco
Willy DeVille: Berlin Concert

Sorry for my choice of words. My intention was to remind everyone of their previous selections, not to moderate. Sometimes the words in your head look different in print. 
Anyway, I don't think I know the Doors album you mention, but personally I think I prefer In The West to Live at Berkeley.
