My #1 would probably be:
Muddy Waters - Live at Newport, 1960 - recorded at the Jazz festival. Ya also get Otis Spann and James Cotton. It just don't get no better than this.
Also love:
Warren Zevon - Stand in the Fire. Took 'em forever to reissue this one on CD. A standout backup band and Zevon is in fine voice. A killer record. We miss ya Warren.
Who - Live at Leeds. This is the LP where I realized just how good Entwistle was. Glad they finally released an expanded edition which had been available as a boot for years.
Allman Bros - Live at the Fillmore East. I was at one of these shows. The LP is a great souvenier.
Dave Alvin & The Guilty Men - Live at the Tractor Tavern. Soundboard quality boot and Alvin simply smokes on this one - Best version of "American Music" ever laid down.
Rolling Stones - Stones Touring Party '72 - Multi-disc boot of several shows from the '72 tour - the best Stones tour ever. They were more polished than '69 but still had a rough edge to them on this one which you don't hear on the '73 European Winter Tour.
