From a recording/engineering perspective, I think Bob Seger's "Nine Tonight" is one of the best sounding live albums ever recorded. The performance is top notch too, but the sound is amazing. Of course, it's also true that quite a few very notable/infamous live albums weren't nearly as "live" as most people think.

No love for Frampton Comes Alive ? Really ?

Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl only because of the historical significance. Technologically and acoustically, the whole thing was a trainwreck.
Iron Maiden always put on a great show, and their live recordings nearly equal their studio work.
Likewise for Rush. Consistently great, even as Geddy aged and lost his high end.
Nugent Double Live Gonzo. Nothing special from an engineering perspective, but for that much of Ted's energy to be bottled up onto vinyl and keep it from exploding out of the jacket... The man wears a headband to keep the adrenaline from squirting out the top of his head.

 

[CerebralGasket]

UFO - Strangers in the Night
Scorpions - Tokyo Tapes
Judas Priest - Unleashed in the East
Black Sabbath - Live Evil
MSG - One Night at Budokan
Rush - All the World's a Stage

I‘ve seen Iron Maiden a few times. Never been disappointed.

EDIT: Except that they didn’t play Hallowed Be Thy Name. That was disappointing.
