If there's something not listed that you like better than all of these, don't hesitate to throw it out there.

UFO, "Strangers in the Night"
Thin Lizzy, "Live and Dangerous" (though some might argue that it was heavily overdubbed)

Wow!  So many great live rock albums come to mind!

From the list I went with Live at Fillmore East, but the others are all great albums.

There are too many great ones to narrow it down to one!!  Some greats for me...
  • The Kinks, One for the Road
    Pretenders, Live in London
    Johnny Cash at Fulsom Prison
    Van Morrison, Its too late to stop (Ok, this might be considered Blues?)
    The Clash, Live at Shea Stadium
    Frampton Comes Alive (Go ahead haters  :P )
    Ramones, Loco Live
    U2, Under a Blood Red Sky
    Social Distortion, Live at the Roxy

I'll quit while I am ahead...

Bob Dylan, Bootleg Series Volume 4. Live at "The Royal Albert Hall"

Dylan does an acoustic set and then a first ever electric set that pisses off the audience. He doesn't give a shit and keeps going. A killer show.

First ever electric set was at Royal Albert Hall?  I thought it was in Newport at the Folk-fest?   

Either way, at that time as he was transitioning it really raised hell with audiences!

Woops, looks like you're right about that!

I can only go by the stories my parents told me. They grew up in Newport when this was all happening.  I still laugh when I think of them hanging out on the lawn outside Fort Adams listening to Dylan.  They talk about it like it was no big deal... just some guy coming into town and playing some songs.  From what they said, the whole Folk Fest crowd was pretty traditional, so breaking out an electrical guitar at that event a bit radical to say the least!

FWIW, I voted for "Waiting for Columbus." I saw Little Feat on the tour that led to that album, and it was a truly extraordinary show.

I have the first-gen MoFi reissue on vinyl, and in general it sounds great, but be warned: the treble is really hot. If your ears are sensitive to that, you may not want to listen to it using unmodded 800s.
