In spite of the fact that At Folsom Prison isn't really Rock or Metal it is still a very important and a good live album.

Live from New York City, 1967 - Simon and Garfunkel

S&M - Metallica
Live ****: Binge & Purge - Metallica

Some live albums I do like, such as At Folsom Prison which has some comedic parts in it, and you can hear Cash as a person, and not only singer. But some live albums are just horribel - excessive claping and stupid comments (see The Doors - Roadhouse Blues (live)).

Absolutely, it's an amazing album. San Quentin is also awesome.

Second on the Wilco - it really is great quality, the ambiance and soundstage is captured very well. Musically it rocks, these guys know how to play
