The Best Live Albums Ever

I had a few problems trying to classify this album. It’s not heavy enough for the hard rock / heavy metal live albums poll and I think purists would say that it doesn’t fit in the best blues rock live albums poll -so I put it in the best classic rock live albums poll.

I have concerns that it may not be popular enough to gain enough votes to stay there although that might be because they didn’t really cross the Atlantic.
