What irks me about a good number of live albums is when they add tracks later. The Kiss Alive albums and G'N'R Live Era are too that come to mind that I know that did this.

I remember listening to Alive I and II as a kid and hearing Paul Stanley's voice simultaneously sing backup behind his lead voice and think, "Man, how does he DO that?!" :D They're both still great albums for what they are.

Older: Rush - "All the World's a Stage". This is Lifeson at his rawest and best IMHO.

Newer: Extreme - "Take us Alive". Nuno tearing it up. If you're a Nuno fan, get the DVD!
 
In general, I prefer live albums because of how raw and energetic they are. My favorite official lives are:

Rush - All the World's a Stage, Exit Stage Left, and Rio
Maiden - Live After Death
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Queensryche - Operation:Livecrime
Dokken - Beast from the East
Aerosmith - A Little South of Sanity

Other stuff that has had to go the bootleg route because there isn't a good official release -
Bon Scott era AC/DC
Black Sabbath
ZZ Top
 
+1 on all the posts!...I too like when a band takes a song in a different direction live,and the rawness of earlier live albums...(when it came out)-My first live album was Rushs' "all the worlds a stage" ...didnt even know who they were, but thought the cover looked really cool so I bought it!...One of my favorite bands ever since!
 
UFO Strangers & Frampton for sure.

Don't forget "LIVE BULLET" Bob Seger. Recorded sept 1975 from a two night stint at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Totally "live"...no overdubs or tricks...all Bob & Punch did was basically mix it. Features many of Bob's very early tunes from before he hit it big-time. Track 15 is a song recorded a year later in Pontiac, and they added it to the recently released remastered version of LB.

Great mentions everyone! Some I totally forgot about. Awesome. I wish Van Halen would have dropped one around Fair Warring era. I have some bootlegs but nothing with any great production value. I would have loved to hear a live show from Schenker with Graham Bonnet too
