Is there a really good live album? I must have a collection....

....of circa 1,000 albums over the past 50 years and I struggle to think of any band's live album that I would put ahead of studio one. Would love to be enlightened. Yes Frampton is decent, but really the only well known bit is the 'waah waah waah' on the intro to 'Show me the way'. So what other live albums are genuinely decent?
