Lots of good ones...

How about:
Eric Clapton - One More Car, One More Rider

Great performances by E.C. with an awesome band that includes Steve Gadd on drums, Nathan East on bass and the late, great Billy Preston on keyboards. (Billy really whips the Hammond into submission on several songs!)

One of my favorites. Sees a lot of playtime on my system
 
Two famous ones - Belafonte at Carnegie Hall and Waltz for Debby - Bill Evans Trio. Both have sequels - (Live at the Village Vanguard is actually from the same session as Waltz.

Two great classical recordings - Sviatoslave Richter playing Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition from a live concert in Sophia Bulgaria in 1958, and Ginette Neveu playing the Brahms Violin Concerto from a live radio broadcast in 1948 conducted by Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt in Hamburg, recorded only a few months before her tragic death (not the same as her earlier studio recording for EMI).

1) Get Your Ya Ya's Out, Rolling Stones (best live album every done)
2) Isle of Wight, Jimi Hendrix (1971 Polydor release, lot's of problems with this but I love it for it's content)
3) Thirty Seconds Over Winterland, Jefferson Airplane (had even more problems technically but Jorma and Jack were as good as it gets)
4) Time Fades Away, Neil Young (such a bad time and place for Neil he won't release it cleaned up like he has everything else, you can feel that bad time and place, a masterpiece)
5) Live Dead, Grateful Dead (the first Live release of thousands from this band)
6) Rock of Ages, The Band (perfection brought to rock music)
7) Band Of Gypsys, Jimi Hendrix (one of the truly greatest recording ever)
8) Live At Leeds, The Who (This is where Keith Moon proves he is the greatest rock drummer ever)
9) Royal Albert Hall: London May 2-3-5-6 2005, Cream (best reunion tour ever)
10) Procol Harum Live in Concert With The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Procol Harum (tremendous volume added by the orchestra which gave this progressive rock band a powerful performance)
 
I have too much live music in too many genres (6000+ hrs) to be able to make a list like this; probably more than 50% of my daily listening is to live recordings. Maybe if we limited it to a single artist ;)

There is quite a bit of Hot Tuna on HDTracks
 
A classic...
