I can't decide on ONE... but:

-Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane - Live at Carnegie Hall (I love this recording!)

-John Coltrane - Live in Japan

-Frank Zappa - Roxy & Elsewhere, Zappa in New York, The Mothers at the Filmore East

-The Woodstock albums

-Just about any audience concert recording/bootleg of Phish, The Disco Biscuits, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, and The Steve Kimock Band

Gratitude by Earth, Wind & Fire. My favorite track is the glorious 9 mins 28 secs of jazzy funk that is "New World Symphony."

OK, so the fourth side -- on the old double-LP -- isn't live, but those songs are great, too (I can live without the medley they tacked onto the remastered CD version, however).

I just listened to Jezebel off Sade -Lovers Live and ...

Definitely get this album if you're at all into Sade ... this track alone is worth the price of the album.

The Ramones' "NYC 1978".
A live show upon their return to the states after teaching The Clash and the Sex Pistols what punk rock was during a stop in London.
27 songs in an hour. Amazing energy and a lot of fun to listen to. Too bad the sound quality isn't all that good...

Major bump for this thread, but I have to express the greatness of Blind Guardian's Live (2003) album. Simply marvelous. I didn't even enjoy power metal at all before!

I don't usually go about recommending stuff, but if I did... this would be it.
