I adore Jimmy Page and Robert Plant's 'No Quarter,' fimed at various locations around the world including Welsh slate mines and featuring some incredible musicians. Great sound quality too.

Another great one is The Clash: From Here To Eternity.

And obviously Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense, as someone mentioned above.

Jeff Buckley Live at Sin-e is also pretty special. Short but sweet. A supreme talent.

His 'Mystery White Boy' live album is also great, as is the live video 'Live In Chicago' which you can watch here:
