Books, not bombs
The song is a film based around 3 gigs in the states. It is also an album. Admittedly, the film is not just a concert but the album is The Song Remains the Same (film) - Wikipedia

I'm guessing I'm not allowed this, never officially released as an album [lots of bootlegs] and the only audience is the sound and film crew.

Arguably not of the greatest live albums of all time, but for documentation of a certain kind of self-destructive teenage nihilism, Caught in the Act... by Johnny Hobo has a certain something to it:
SpookyFrank
A cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel
Spandex
A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
That's a good example of a live album brining something new to a career. He was basically a has-been when his manager nicked all his money, so he hit the road to get some cash. It could've come across as a desperate cash in, but what you get is an older Cohen, his voice deeper and gravellier, carrying the weight of his years, running through his greatest hits, sounding like he'd never sounded before. And I say that as someone who doesn't even like his music (though how could anyone fail to love his voice here?).

Excellent band he has there as well.

This one's got to be up there:

I was supposed to see them on that tour. Had a ticket and everything. Then I woke up on the day with a stinking cold and wasn't going anywhere. My friends came back raving about how great and amazing it was. Bastards. In my head I've decided it was probably shit and never listened to the album.

This week the score draws are plentiful
Also don't like live albums as a rule. They're usually just record company cash-ins, but this is fuckin brilliant for being both a) superlative US hardcore punk and b) the only decent testament to Hüsker Dü when they still performed such stuff:

This is Len live in the late 70s, though it wasn't released until circa 2000, IIRC:
And it is very good. . . especially the version of Memories.
it's by no stretch the greatest live album ever, but I've been listening to this live Pat Metheny LP from 2016 quite a bit recently and it's really good - just a very tight band of exceptional musicians at the top of their game.

Are we allowed official live Dvds?
Nine Inch Nails released three live DVDs that weren't given CD or Vinyl releases (Beside You In Time, Another Version of the Truth and And All That Could Have Been).

One small step for me
Alice Coltrane - Live at the Berkeley Community Theatre 1972
This was only released in 2019 but it was worth the wait, it's immense

I don't think I've ever heard a bad live album or recording of John Martyn, huge range of styles and even his later performances were good. Anyway I'll always remember seeing him late 70s and thinking how the fuck could someone get all this out of an acoustic guitar. This is from The Man Upstairs 1978

Exasperated, not angry.
If it’s magnificent albums of gigs you were actually at, this is the clear winner for me

Is that one much good? Never actually got around to listening to it. Was thinking about it recently cos I was wondering if it'd qualify for this thread:
Greatest live co-op song ever?
Rage Against The Machine feat Cypress Hill live doing 'Kill A Man'. It's better than the original Cypress Hill recording and better than the Rage Against Machine cover recording. It's about perfect. Any other songs like that where 2 artists do the same song together and its better than any...

putting up a hook to hang my hopes upon
Watched the first part of that last night. I've always kind of liked them but not a big fan or anything, but that was amazing!

back on the other side
another favourite jazz one - Joe Henderson Quintet at the Lighthouse...is a bit raw in places but the vibe is strong
with this track being one of the most firing jams ever recorded IMO
flames!!! love the drums on this

Live At The Fillmore East is the expanded version of it - that has some good stuff on it too - there's a massive 8xLP version of all of it released recently too, that I've yet to wade my way through entirely.
