My favorites are all bootlegs, but I have some commercial faves.

BNL - "Rock Spectacle"
U2 - "Rattle & Hum"
Rush - "Live in Rio"
Elton John - "Here & There"
 
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys, you'll get the single greatest guitar performance in "Machine Gun".

If you can find it, Jimi Hendrix - In the West is a nice collection of some of his finest performances, including his best live "Red House" and "Little Wing".
 
alice in chains - unplugged

led zeppelin - bbc sessions

tool - salvial

Jimi Hendrix - band of gypsies live in NY

the doors - live at the Aquarius theater

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Weld is also really good, if you're into it.
I have a soft spot for Cheap Trick, so throw in Live at Budokan.

The new Foo Fighters Skin and Bones is pretty good. I believe The Flaming Lips Pink Robots(whatever it's called) was live.

Bob Marley Live is good too.

Yoshimi vs The Pink Robots wasn't live, but The Flaming Lips are excellent live 🙂 I would also suggest checking out the Eels. They have three superb (in my opinion) live albums that are not to be missed.
 
Also, if you are a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins at all, their live bootleg Turpentine Kisses is superb. It's from the Melloncollie and the Infinite Sadness era.
 
i like live albums for the energy and crowd reactions etc but i enjoy music more when listening to the perfect quality albums...

that said, some of my favourite are:

Black Sabbath - Reunion
Pantera - 101 Proof
Alice in Chains - Live
Alice in Chains - Unplugged
Nirvana - Unplugged
Sepultura - Under a Pale Grey Sky
 
Foghat - Live
King Crimson - Absent Lovers
Hawkwind - Space Ritual
Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush - Live
UFO - Strangers In The Night
Thin Lizzy - Live And Dangerous
Pat Travers - Live! Go For What You Know
Tangerine Dream - Poland
 
Bradley Knowell (of sublime) - Live at the firecracker lounge. Absolutely amazing stuff. or Social Distortion - Live at the ROxy
