Clear winner is: Hunters & Collectors - Under One Roof (with me helping the crowd do their backing vocals.)
Other decent ones not yet mentioned include:
AC/DC - live (the one recorded at Donington)
AC/DC - If you want blood (Bon Scott live)
The Angels - Liveline
Porkers - live at Nakoshima - live ska music is good.
Bad Manners - Feel like jumping - more ska
Strange Tenants - Rude Celebration - even more ska
Ramones - It's Alive
Pogues - 30th anniversary concert - I do like this album. But some of the songs don't sound as good live as they do in the studio.
Doug Anthony All Stars - Dead & Alive - if you don't know who these guys are, find them on youtube.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - live - ska(ish) again
A couple of good DVDs without CD releases:
Special Beat - live in Sydney - again with me in the crowd
TISM - final concert - I was in Melbourne that night, but didn't know it was on.
Nick Cave - God is in the House
Wouldn't surprise to discover I still have a couple of Midnight Oil bootlegs on tape somewhere. Also the Bon Scott 'live at the wireless' show I remember taping when broadcast on triple J, which had a live concert they'd discovered on it.
Maybe I sound old (maybe I'm getting old), but I like when concerts were not just attempts at re-creating the studio album note for note. That's why I like the rare good one.
Agree with that. I think ska music & aussie pub rock work pretty well for having quality concerts, not album recreations, which is why they make up most of my list.
