Best Live Album Ever

I thought this topic would exist but I searched and couldn't find it. Sorry if it does.

With that, I ask what the greatest live album of all time is. I love the boots just as much as you and would probably pick my favorite boot if I were to answer honestly, but THE BOOTS ARE OUT OF DISCUSSION. You must nominate something known to the general public in this thread.

I nominate THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND - AT FILLMORE EAST.

Your turn.
