Also, Watts at Scott's featuring Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones playing his first love Jazz, is very good. (2 CDs)

Christy Moore, Live at the Point always sounded very good to me - vocals, the guitar or beating on the goat skin..,.

Alison Kraus + Union Station Live

Released on SACD and DVD some time back and still an incredible achievement, both in terms of recording and performance.

One of my all-time favorites.

Sinatra at the Sands is definitely up there with the best of them.

Also,

Eric Clapton - Unplugged

Ellington at Newport

Elvis at Madison Square Garden

Eagles, Hell Freezes Over

Keith Jarrett – The Köln Concert

Belafonte at Carnegie Hall is technically an outstanding recording (but the music sounds a bit dated these days)

Sinatra at the Sands is definitely up there with the best of them.

Was going to post that myself. It's essential, regardless of age or usual musical tastes.

 

[Mart68]

Thin Lizzy 'Live & Dangerous'

Even if it is a patchwork of overdubs, or maybe because of that, it gives a good feel for being there.

 

[Petrushka]

Two things come to mind. There’s a complete set of Woodstock recordings mastered from the original tapes instead of the movie soundtrack.

And Simon and Garfunkel in Central Park.

 

[Petrushka]

Richter playing Pictures at an Exhibition. Technically terrible.

 

[EERecordist]

In the 1960s was a great revival of the folk music of Ireland, Wales, Britain and Scotland. Around that time Child's Ballads and Popular Music of the Olden Time: A Collection of Ancient Songs, Ballads and Dance Tunes Illustrative of the National Music of England by Chappell were republished and many musicians revived and adapted the music.

The folk-jazz group Pentangle was one. A great recording was made at Royal Festival Hall in London and is the first disc of the Sweet Child album.

Great sound, great hall sound, great selection of pieces. They had two great guitarists, John Renbourn and Bert Jansch and vocalist Jacqui McShee. To me, maybe other ASRers, the delay+echo of a hall and being around other people really adds to the appreciation.

Their interpretation of a traditional ballad is anything but traditional from the phrasing to the arrangement.
