The Best Live Albums Of All Time

I’m classifying this album mainly as proto-punk (i.e. it inspired the development of punk and new wave music in the mid to late 1970s). I don’t yet have a poll for it.

It’s also hard rock so you may be interested in voting in the best hard rock and heavy metal live albums poll.
