Doctor’s Orders: The Best Live Album of All Time

A strong candidate, for sure
The British Newspaper The Independent, recently solicited a number of musicians’ opinions as to the best live albums of all time.
Some selection include:
Mark Ronson- Curtis Mayfield: Curtis/Live!
Rick Wakeman- The Who: Live at Leeds
Marianne Faithfull- Bob Marley and the Wailers: Live!
M Ward- Johnny Cash: Live at Folsom Prison

So what’s your pick? Post your answer below, defend it with a sentence or two and you just may earn a lovely prize from the Relix prize vault (assuming there is a Relix prize vault and I locate the darn key). At any rate, I promise that someone will win something but it’s fun just to play along…
