Lots of great Live Albums listed.

The Airborne Toxic Event All I Ever Wanted Live From Walt Disney Concert Hall is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I am a huge Jim Croce fan. Lost Time In A Bottle.

I’m surprised no one has listed any Skynyrd yet. One More From The Road.

I'm quite fond of Tedeschi Trucks Band "Everybody's Talkin'"

But Whitesnake's "Live in the heart of the city" must be my favourite live album of all time ...

Absolutely fantastic rock, southern rock and blues.

Looks like they are going on tour this winter. Are you in CA? Anaheim, CA: Jan 23

EDIT: I love when they shoot proper videos of live events:

A few of my favourites are:

Johnny Cash live at Folsom
Johnny Cash live at San Quentin
Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Weld (although I thought he had a bit of a nerve with the Arc Weld edition......)
Elvis live at Madison Square Garden (anybody questioning whether he deserved his accolades needs to listen to this recording)
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band live 1975-85 (maybe a cliché but there are some tremendous performances captured in this set)

Live albums from this century:

Porcupine Tree: Anesthetize (CD, BD)

Night wish: Showtime, Storytime. Buy the BD or DVD or watch this video. The recording is not the best, but there are quite a few magical moments you'll miss when only listening.

My fave live BD - Music for Monserrat

Also, live performances that stand out...
Ella Fitzgerald- Mac the Knife, live in Berlin

The Wailers - stir it up, live on the Old Grey Whistle Test

Rocking in the Free World on SNL-

Chet Atkins - I’ll still write your name in the snow.

Not all albums but memorable live performances...

Allmans at Fillmore East:

I believe this album is over rated from a recording perspective. The content is exceptional and maybe it did well to capture the ambiance of several shows. But the recording quality leaves a bit to be desired regardless of what RS magazine says.

Yep, for the most part SQ sucks, vocals, especially sound like they were made with dime store mic's. :(
But musically it was a magical night for the AB band. everyone in top form showing talent way past their young years
A southern rock and blues fest that will live on long after I'm gone.
Is it really nearly 50 years since we lost brother Duane out jamming on his Sportster?
They're mostly all gone now, time waits for no man.
The Dickey Betts Band did a gig at the St George Theater in New York, a CD & BluRay of which is due for release on July 26.
The BluRay is on my list of gotta have's.
That tour could very likely be Dickey's last tour, he's had a stroke and was injured in a fall and underwent brain surgery last year.
